Tuesday, April 26th, 2016Ways We Can Help with Spring Allergy Season
Monday, March 28th, 2016Spring marks the beginning of warmer weather and the climb toward the heat of the summer. Making sure that you have the best working air conditioning system is an important part of spring preparations. However, it’s not the only step you may need to take to ensure excellent comfort in your house. Spring is allergy season, and if people live in your home who have even mild allergies and asthma, this can become an unpleasant time of the year for them.
Now Is a Great Time to Replace or Upgrade Your Air Conditioning System
Monday, March 14th, 2016Spring is the ideal time to evaluate your air conditioning system to see if it needs repairs, or in some cases should be upgraded or replaced entirely.

The best way to find the right path forward for excellent cooling is to call on us for regular maintenance. One of our experienced technicians will be able to give you a professional opinion about the state of your AC and whether a replacement is the more cost-effective choice over continuing with repairs.
Indoor Air Quality Problems during Winter

Monday, December 28th, 2015Why Are Furnaces Today More Energy Efficient?
Monday, December 21st, 2015Technology improves with each year, and this applies to gas furnaces as much as it does to computers and smart phones. Although gas furnaces have been around for a long time, they have undergone many improvements to make them both safer and more effective.
One area where gas furnaces have seen a tremendous enhancement is in energy efficiency, i.e. how well a furnace converts its energy source into actual heating power. At one time, the average furnace would only convert 60% of its fuel into thermal energy, wasting 40%. But today, most furnaces waste less than 20%, and there are special high-efficiency furnaces that only waste 3%. This is one of the reasons you should consider replacing an aged furnace (15–20 years old or more), even if it’s still working at providing your house with heat. You could save large amounts on your monthly heating bills with a newer furnace.
Some Checks to Make on Your Furnace During the Winter
Friday, December 18th, 2015We want to open this blog by emphasizing that only trained professionals should handle furnace repairs. Although we’ve provided a list of tips below for ways to check that your furnace is operating as it should, you should never attempt to diagnose a problem or perform a maintenance task (other than changing or replacing the filter) on your own. If you suspect that your furnace has a fault or it’s running inefficiently, call our service technicians. We’re here to serve you seven days a week.
The Importance of Having Your Furnace’s Heat Exchanger Checked
Monday, November 23rd, 2015We emphasize scheduling fall heating maintenance for a number of excellent reasons: not only does this help your heater achieve the longest lifespan possible while working at its highest energy efficiency, but it also keeps it running safely. This is especially crucial if you use a gas-powered furnace, as many homes do. Although gas furnaces are not immediately “dangerous” appliances, they can pose hazards from carbon monoxide if they don’t receive regular inspections and tune-ups.
The key component of a gas furnace that requires a professional inspection each fall is the heat exchanger.

Below are a few steps you can take to see that your HVAC system will perform at top level during the coming winter season:
