Comprehensive HVAC Services

Let our team help you make your home as comfortable as possible. In the process, we can help you lower your energy bills, promote better air quality, and reduce your carbon footprint.

Our cooling and heating services include:

Air Conditioning Services

HVAC ToolsOur company offers a full range of AC services for both ducted and ductless systems. That includes high-efficiency new installations, replacements, and conversions.

We offer ductless solutions, such as mini-splits, that are an excellent choice for older houses without ducts. They’re far more effective and efficient than window units. Mini-splits are also a great choice for homes with boilers, home additions, and finished basements. One of the key advantages of a mini-split is the inherent zone control.

Our high-SEER2 central AC systems deliver cool air throughout your home. To save energy, we can add zoning to your central AC with automated duct dampers. For even more savings, install a new system with variable-speed indoor air handling and inverter technology for the outdoor condenser unit.

Heating Services

Our heating technicians also provide services for all types of heating systems. That includes hydronic heating, fuel-fired forced-air furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps. Routine maintenance is important for all systems, but is especially critical for fuel-burning systems. Without proper maintenance, you risk CO exposure from combustion and exhaust malfunctions.

If you need to upgrade an older heating system, there are many high-efficiency solutions. You can convert your AC and heating system to a hybrid system with a heat pump and an auxiliary furnace. A standard heat pump cools your home in summer and is much more energy-efficient than a furnace until about 20 degrees outside. When temperatures plummet, the system automatically switches to your auxiliary furnace. High-efficiency and cold-climate heat pumps maintain energy-efficient heating at much lower temperatures.

If you prefer a standalone furnace or boiler, we recommend a condensing system. These systems minimize energy losses through the flue, reducing fuel consumption by 10% or more.

HVAC Repair and Maintenance

We encourage homeowners to schedule HVAC maintenance twice a year. Your system needs AC maintenance in the spring and heating maintenance in the fall. Regular tune-ups can lower your energy costs, prevent breakdowns, and extend the life of your equipment.

Even with regular maintenance, it’s important to monitor for the signs you may need heating or AC repair. High energy usage is often an early sign of such problems. That’s why we advise homeowners to track their electricity and/or fuel usage month-to-month and year-to-year. Another telltale sign is irregular cycling. The typical central system should cycle only two or three times an hour. More frequent cycling can indicate overheating due to a serious fundamental fault.
