Being in business for so long, we have seen our fair share of preventable HVAC problems. Our technicians know how to install and maintain Carrier systems as well as many other major brands. We have worked on new residential construction as well as existing home systems. Homeowners who have their HVAC systems maintenance performed experience very few furnaces and AC breakdowns and spend less money on repairsthan people who do not. The best part is saving money on electricity every month.

Spring is just around the corner, and it is a perfect time to have your air conditioner maintenance performed before heavy use throughout the summer. When installing the HVAC unit, we make sure the efficiency is at its highest capacity. Conservation can help the system maintain 95% efficiency through the life of the unit. After heavily using the system for a while, it is a good idea to have your system cleaned, tested, and inspected annually. This cleaning will help it maintain close to all its primary efficiency when heating or cooling your house. Breakdowns happen much less often as the build-up is not corroding essential parts of the system. You will not have to repair your AC or furnace very often as we stop the issues before they start.

You can also save money on your electricity bill by maintaining your system’s parts such as the heat pump, air handler, furnace, mini split and air conditioner. Keeping up with a maintenance schedule will affect up to 50% of your electricity bill. At the maintenance, we clean the build-up off the coils and fan blades. The build-up can cause corrosion which leads to leaks and a complete system shut down. At this point, the next step would be to install an entirely new unit.

We can ensure your machine is in proper running condition, so your AC is operating quickly and efficiently. It will run less frequently at the same efficiency if not better. We can also maintain your home’s furnace, so it is ready to heat your home on those unusually cold days.

Maintaining your HVAC unit will help reduce the number of breakdowns and repairs so you will not have to search “HVAC repairs near me” anytime soon. Also, it will help you save money on your electricity bill, and will ensure that you can use the HVAC unit properly year-round.
