Yes. Carbon monoxide is produced by burning carbon-based fuels and can be dangerous. Installing carbon monoxide detectors is the best way to alert you to this toxic gas. If you experience symptoms like headaches, especially at night, seek medical help immediately. We recommend installing carbon monoxide detectors in your home.

Significant advances have been made in reducing the sound levels of air conditioners and heat pumps. We can show you the differences in our product line and help you choose a quieter option.

Yes, R-22 is being phased out due to its environmental impact. New equipment must use environmentally friendly refrigerants like R-410A. As R-22 production decreases, its price may increase. Consider upgrading to a system using R-410A for better efficiency and environmental impact.

Uneven performance can be due to various factors like solar heat load, system size, or clogged components. An onsite analysis can identify specific issues and provide recommendations. Contact us to schedule an evaluation.

For cooling, set the thermostat to 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit, and for heating, set it to 68-72 degrees. Adjusting the thermostat to the highest comfortable setting in summer and the lowest in winter maximizes energy savings, with each degree change equating to about 10 percent savings.

2-stage systems adjust output based on demand. They save energy by running at lower stages when full capacity is not needed. In heating, a 2-stage system uses different-sized compressors or a modulating gas valve to regulate gas flow, saving on energy costs.

Variable-speed fans adjust their speed based on heating and cooling needs, providing steady air flow, controlling humidity, reducing utility costs, and minimizing noise. They increase speed to meet higher demands, ensuring comfort in extreme temperatures.

A Hybrid Heat system combines gas and electric heating for efficient performance. It automatically selects the most efficient fuel source based on outdoor conditions, saving money and ensuring comfort year-round.

Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling. They have SEER ratings for cooling efficiency and HSPF ratings for heating efficiency. Heat pumps are efficient alternatives to electric heat, working like an air conditioner in summer and reversing to heat in winter, often paired with a backup heating source.

ENERGY STAR-qualified products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. EPA and DOE, preventing greenhouse gas emissions and saving up to 20 percent annually on energy costs.
