Heating & Cooling FAQs

Questions Our Customers Ask Most Frequently

Listed below are frequently asked questions relating to the HVAC field. If you are experiencing a problem which requires attention and if you are in our service area, you may set up an appointment online or call us to schedule a service call.

We hope this information helps you. Please keep in mind these are just rough guidelines and not all possible situations are covered.

What should I be doing to prepare for the coming winter season?

Fall is a great time to remember to change the filters in your system when you change the smoke alarms in your household! Check out our online shop for filters, humidifier pads, thermostats and UV bulbs—purchase your filters on our site and receive a 10% discount and FREE shipping!

When do you recommend I schedule maintenance for my furnace?

We recommend annual tune-ups. Your equipment can be tuned up ANY time during the year and does not have to be done before the start of the heating or cooling season, as long as it's tuned up on a regular basis. But to eliminate any surprise repairs and beat the seasonal rush, turn your furnace on BEFORE the weather turns cold to see if it's working.

What's the best way to reduce my energy bills and conserve energy?

  1. Have your heating and cooling equipment cleaned
  2. Change your air filter.

  7. Insulate your water heater.
  8. Install and use a programmable thermostat.
  9. Seal air leaks.
