Monday, May 10th, 2021

Like it or not, summer is right around the corner. And as you know if you’ve lived here for even just a year, summertime temperatures are nothing to mess around with. Therefore, you need a high-quality and affordable air conditioner to get you through.

Monday, March 15th, 2021

Before we get started, we want to say that furnaces are not inherently dangerous. In fact, modern furnaces are built with more safety features today than ever before. However, when you don’t properly take care of your furnace, particularly a gas-powered one, it can become dangerous.

They’re cost-effective and a superior choice for many homeowners. They have a number of important components that must be cared for, though, with one of them being the heat exchanger.

Noises You Don’t Want Your Heater to Make

Monday, February 15th, 2021

It’s that time of year. We are nearing the official end of winter and can maybe start thinking about our air conditioners. Sure, colder temps are still here for a while, but it’s always nice to dream, right?

Those dreams can come back to haunt you though if you let them discourage you from taking care of your heating needs. If your heater has worked “just fine” all winter so far, you may be tempted to ignore a weird symptom or two. One particular symptom homeowners tend to ignore (and later regret ignoring) is strange noises coming from their heating system.

Now, there is no such thing as a silent heater. You’re going to hear some noise during its operation. This is true whether you have a furnace, boiler, or heat pump system. What you don’t want to hear though, are noises that have grown louder, or noises you’ve never heard before coming from the system. Read on as we uncover what these potential noises are—then give us a call for quick and efficient repairs.

The Benefits of Whole-House Air Filtration and Purification

Monday, February 1st, 2021

There is a fairly common misconception about the air filter that comes standard in HVAC systems. That is, this air filter is in place to protect the indoor air quality of the house. It’s actually not intended for this purpose at all! We’ll get more into that below, but our point is, if you truly want to tackle indoor air quality problems—especially those that cause allergy and asthma symptoms throughout the household—you’ll want to invest in a whole-house air filtration system and/or whole-house air purifier.

The first thing you should know is that a huge reason more and more homeowners are investing in these systems is due to the way they mitigate virus transmission. No indoor air quality product can guarantee 100% protection from germ and virus transmission, but they can absolutely mitigate the risks you may face. Read on to learn more about whole-house air filtration and purification!
