Call the office today to schedule your heating or cooling inspection

      ********************************

  • Cooling inspections are best performed in the spring time before the weather gets hot!!  Having your system checked can save you from discovering your system isn't cooling properly and avoiding an emergency service call.

  • Heating inspections are best performed in the fall before the weather gets cold!!  Having you system checked early can save you from discovering your system isn't heating properly and avoiding an emergency call.

  • Change your filters on a regular basis!!

  • Water panels for your humidifiers need to be changed yearly and preferably at the beginning of the season.  If you do not change your water panel, it begins falling apart, can clog the drain line and now you have a water issue!!  This can result in an emergency call.

  • Your "change filter" light on your thermostat is on a timer.  It does not measure how dirty the filter is to tell you when it needs changed.

  • If you just replaced your thermostat recently and suddenly you don't have any heat or air conditioning, this happens all the time.  People try to install their own thermostat and it results in paying for a service call or even emergency service.  Avoid the added expense and have our trained technicians install it.

Q: What is the most common maintenance that is overlooked and how important is it?

A: Your humidifier!!  It is absolutely necessary to keep up on your yearly maintenance for it to avoid problems.  The water panel needs to be replaced every fall at the beginning of the season.  If you do not replace it, the panel begins to fall apart and will clog the drain line.  Now you have a water issue when the water overflows onto your floor, etc.

Q:  How often should I have maintenance done on my air conditioner?

A: Air conditioners run better when they receive annual maintenance. Maintenance should be done in the spring, and will help your unit last longer.

Q: What air conditioner maintenance can I do myself?

A:  There are a few simple routines that you can follow to help ensure that your system runs smoothly.

1) Check the air filter or coil in your until every 3 –4 weeks. A dirty filter will strain your system.
2) Keep your outdoor unit free of debris.
3) Ensure that your unit is on level ground.
