    Prompt and Professional HVAC Repairs

    You don’t want to attempt any repairs on your own. Rather, turn to a professional at the first sign of a malfunction. Such signs are easy to detect. Your system may struggle to reach the set point, for example, and if it’s a ducted unit, it may not be able to heat or cool each room to the same temperature. When you put a hand on the supply vents, you may notice that the air blows out faintly. An ailing HVAC unit may also emit loud noises or bad odors. For instance, one of our technicians could provide an accurate diagnosis and a no-obligation quote for the repair. Additionally, it’s highly likely that the repair can be completed in one visit.

    If you own a ducted heat pump or a gas furnace, you’ll need to replace it after about 15 years. With oil and electric furnaces, the lifespan is closer to 25 years, and mini-splits can last up to 30 years with proper maintenance. However, the point remains that every system will break down. At times, a hard-to-find, worn-out component can impede the smooth operation of your system. Maybe you’re experiencing an increased presence of HVAC technicians because of regular breakdowns. If it’s more than a decade old, then replacing the whole thing will save you money in the long run.

One of our technicians will perform a load calculation and take other technicalities into account so that you don’t get an oversized or undersized unit.

    Experts recommend getting cooling maintenance every spring and heating maintenance every autumn. You can enjoy peace of mind in summer and winter thanks to its ability to prevent system breakdowns. You’ll deal with fewer repairs throughout the year, and these repairs will be minor in nature. In addition, your manufacturer will honor their warranty and take care of the costs for some, if not all, of the repairs. Best of all, tune-ups don’t take too much time. Maybe one to two hours on average.
