As the new year begins, it’s the perfect time to make plans for your home’s HVAC system. Purl’s Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning, your local HVAC contractor in Oakhurst, CA and throughout the Central Valley, is here to help ensure your heating, cooling, and ventilation needs are met all year long. Whether you’re looking to improve efficiency, replace aging equipment, or take care of overlooked maintenance, our team has the expertise to handle it all. Here’s how we can assist you in planning for a comfortable and energy-efficient new year.
1. Maintenance for Both Your Heating and AC
Routine maintenance is the foundation of a reliable HVAC system. Scheduling maintenance twice a year—once for your heating system and once for your air conditioner—keeps your equipment running efficiently and prevents unexpected breakdowns.
By enrolling in our Ultimate Service Agreement, you’ll enjoy priority scheduling, discounts on repairs, and peace of mind knowing your HVAC system is in great hands. Regular maintenance also helps extend the lifespan of your equipment, saving you money in the long run.
2. Replacements for Older, Inefficient Units
Is your heating or cooling system over 10 years old? If so, it might be time to consider a replacement. Older units are less efficient and more prone to breakdowns, which can lead to higher energy bills and repair costs. Upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient system can make a big difference in your comfort and utility expenses.
Our team at Purl’s specializes in helping homeowners choose the best replacement system for their needs. We’ll evaluate your home’s size, insulation, and layout to recommend a system that provides optimal performance and energy savings. Plus, we’ll ensure your new unit is installed with precision to maximize its efficiency.
3. Upgrade ACs or Heat Pumps With Outdated Refrigerant
If your air conditioner or heat pump uses R-22 refrigerant, also known as Freon, it’s time to upgrade. R-22 has been phased out due to environmental concerns, and the cost of recharging systems that use it is increasingly expensive.
By upgrading to a system that uses modern, eco-friendly refrigerants, you’ll not only comply with current regulations but also enjoy improved energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Our team can guide you through the upgrade process and ensure you’re prepared for the future.
4. Thermostat Upgrade
A thermostat upgrade is a small change that can have a big impact on your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. Modern programmable and smart thermostats allow you to set schedules, control temperatures remotely, and monitor energy usage.
We offer a variety of thermostat options to suit your needs, from simple programmable models to advanced smart systems that integrate with home automation platforms. With a new thermostat, you’ll have greater control over your HVAC system and the potential for significant energy savings.
5. Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer vent cleaning is an essential service that often gets overlooked. Over time, lint and debris can build up in your dryer vent, reducing its efficiency and creating a serious fire hazard.
Our professional dryer vent cleaning services remove blockages and ensure your dryer operates safely and efficiently. This not only helps prevent potential fires but also extends the life of your dryer and reduces energy consumption. Make it a priority to schedule this important service as part of your New Year’s home maintenance plan.
