Heating & Air Conditioning FAQs
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?
Ideally, you’ll have your HVAC system serviced twice a year. This includes once in the spring for your AC and then once in the fall for your furnace. Regular tune-ups help with efficiency, extend the life of your equipment, and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Why isn't my furnace or AC working properly?
Common HVAC problems include dirty filters, thermostat issues, blocked vents, or worn components. Our certified technicians are trained to diagnose the problem and get your system running again quickly.
How often should I change my HVAC air filter?
Most homes should replace the air filter every 1-3 months, depending on the type of filter, pets in the home, allergies, and system usage. A clean filter helps your HVAC system run more efficiency and improves indoor air quality.
When should I consider replacing my HVAC system?
A full replacement is a good idea if your system is over 15 years old, frequently needs repairs, or doesn’t keep your home comfortable. These conditions often make replacement the more cost-effective option.
Plumbing FAQs
What should I do if I have a leak or burst pipe?
Immediately cut off your main water supply to prevent flooding, and then call us as soon as possible. Our expert plumbers will work quickly to minimize damage.
How can I prevent clogged drains?
Grease, hair, and debris can all clog drains. Avoid pouring grease into your drains. For hair and debris, use a drain screen to catch them. Scheduling regular drain cleanings will also keep your plumbing flowing freely.
Do you handle water heater repairs and installations?
Yes! If your water heater needs a simple repair or a complete replacement, our plumbers will bring the hot water back with expert service.
Electrical FAQs
What is a whole-home surge protection?
A whole-home surge protector is installed at your electrical panel and protects your home’s appliances and electronics from voltage spikes caused by lightning, power outages, or grid issues.
What are signs I need electrical repairs?
If you’re experiencing flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, burning smells, warm outlets, or buzzing sounds, contact us immediately for a safety inspection.
Can you install new lighting or wiring upgrades?
Absolutely! Our services include everything from simple fixture installations to complete rewiring projects, including EV charger installations and generator setups.
Are whole-home generators worth it?
We offer generator services. For many homeowners, generators provide peace of mind during storms and outages, protect food from spoiling, maintain heating or cooling, and keep essential systems running.
Billing & Maintenance Plans
Do you offer maintenance plans or memberships?
Yes. With one of our maintenance plans, you’ll receive scheduled tune-ups and priority service to keep your HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems in peak condition year-round.
What payment options do you accept?
Budget concerns shouldn’t prevent you from having a safe, comfortable home. We offer flexible financing options to help make larger projects more manageable. Ask our team about our financing options.
