Air Conditioning Installation & Repair
We encourage homeowners to schedule seasonal air conditioning maintenance every year. Book your appointment in the spring before the hotter weather arrives. Most warranties require it. Tune-ups will also lower your costs and extend the life of your equipment.
While routine maintenance will avoid most AC repair issues, monitor for potential troubles throughout the summer. Rising electricity usage is often one of the earliest signs. You should also watch for irregular cycling, uneven cooling, and unusual noises.
If you need a new air conditioning system, there are many options. Homeowners who already have ductwork will often opt for central AC. If you don’t, then a ductless AC is usually the more cost-effective option. Inherent zone control is one of the advantages of ductless AC. You can opt for a zoning with a central system too. It involves the addition of mechanical duct dampers and one or more zoned thermostats.
Heating Repair & Replacement
Fall heating tune-ups are beneficial for the reasons discussed above. It’s also a safety issue if you have a fuel-burning system, as those create toxic gases as a byproduct.
Monitor for problems throughout the winter, including combustion issues with furnaces that require repairs. Malfunctioning ignition systems can be slow to cycle on. A bad limit switch can cause extended cycling. Dirty components can also lead to excessive dust accumulation in a home.
Many households in our service areas get their heat from a gas furnace. If you have an older furnace, upgrading to a new furnace can lower your fuel consumption by 10% or more. The standard modern gas furnace is about 80% efficient. We also offer high-efficiency models that start at 90% efficiency and go as high as 98.5%. Rebates and other energy incentives can help make those models more affordable.
