We understand heating and cooling isn't something most homeowners know much about, so we're here to educate our customers on their HVAC systems. Below are some questions we commonly receive:


Check your filter monthly. Replace a disposable filter (usually made of cardboard) if it's dirty. Don't attempt to clean it. Ask your technician how to properly replace your system's filter because clean filters help ensure a long-lasting system.

Every home is different due to construction and our climate preferences. Our professional technicians are more than happy to walk you through your home and make recommendations on how you can keep your optimum comfort level while spending the least on your utility bills.

For optimum performance, a professionally-trained technician should service your system. Should you have an unexpected breakdown, without a contractor's record of regular maintenance, HVAC equipment manufacturers may deny your claim, and we never want that to happen to our customers. We want to be your advocate.

Our team will call you no later than a week after we visit your home to ensure your satisfaction, but you can always reach us at 908-769-8200 !

The life expectancy of your system depends upon many factors from weather to usage. One thing that will maximize its efficiency and lifespan is maintenance. Every year your system goes without maintenance, it loses 1% efficiency. That's why it's important we come to your home at least once a year to completely clean, adjust, and tune your home comfort system.

While it may seem like a good idea to shade it, the potential for restricting and/or recirculating airflow exists and should be avoided. The better the unit can breathe the better and more efficient it will operate.

If you have any more questions or want to book an appointment, just call us at 908-769-8200 !
