You will receive a written scope of your project, including what will be included, any items that would require an additional contractor(ie: electrician, plumber, drywall, and paint), a basic timeline, and any additional open questions that remain for you to decide on before we can begin.

 Once a month is a pretty good rule of thumb for most people. Depending on where you live and how much dirt, pet dander, and other contaminants are present, the answer could be more or less. Check your filter frequently to determine if it’s dirty. If it is, change it. 

You should have your systems serviced right before each cooling and heating season starts. 

Add some attic ventilation! This will reduce moisture and lower your cooling costs. 

 There’s no easy answer for this one. A lot of factors will go into what size heating and cooling unit you’ll need. The type of house you own, its walls, insulation, attic space, and more can go into determining what size unit is required. A system that is too large could result in a home that’s too humid, causing problems with moisture and mold. A system that is too small will run constantly, running up your energy bill. Only a qualified heating and cooling technician can determine what size unit is best for your home. 

Zoning Systems separate your air conditioning system’s ductwork into different segments or zones, allowing you to exercise temperature control in each area, thus allowing for more targeted and efficient air conditioning.

For example, you may have a great room with many windows that gets hot in the summer and which may need more air to cool down, while you may also have a rarely occupied guest room on the other end of the house. With a zoned air conditioning system, you can direct more cold air to the great room and less air to the guest room. This allows for more efficient use of your AC system and a more comfortable home.

 R-22 refrigerant and equipment are being phased out as Montreal Protocol regulations intended to reduce the impact on ozone take hold. As time passes, replacement parts and refrigerants for old R-22 units will become harder to find and more expensive, so replacing your aged unit now can save you some headaches in the future.
