Gas Furnaces

Today gas furnaces are highly efficient at producing heat. You typically find furnaces in residential applications where there is existing ductwork. They are most commonly connected to a central air conditioning system. The Federal government requires that all new furnaces have a minimum efficiency level of 78% AFUE ensuring the most cost efficient systems for homeowners.

When to call for furnace repairs


It’s time to get your furnace repaired if it’s blowing cool air or no air at all, if it consistently fails to reach the temperature you’ve set on your thermostat, or if it shuts on and off rapidly throughout the day. Regular maintenance checks can catch issues before they turn into costly repairs.

When to replace your furnace


Furnaces typically need to be replaced every 15-20 years. We recommend replacing your furnace if you have a higher than normal energy bill every month, if it continually overheats and shuts down, or if there is rust or erosion present inside the unit. Additionally, if your furnace needs frequent repairs but doesn’t seem to be fixed, it’s likely more cost effective to replace the unit entirely.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps can be the utmost in efficiency for a heating unit. They are essentially an air conditioning unit working in reverse exchanging the cool air from inside and replacing it with warmer air from outside. In the summer they reverse the flow and become your AC unit for cooling. If you have a home without gas, an all electric heat pump system would be the ideal system for you!

How do you know if your heat pump is broken?


Your heat pump needs repairs if your electric bill is abnormally high every month, if it blows cool air in the winter, or if it shuts on and off rapidly. These energy-efficient units are used year-round, so it’s especially important to get regular maintenance checks.

When is it time to replace your heat pump?


We recommend replacing your heat pump every 12-15 years. If you’re frequently calling us for repairs, it’s probably time to replace your heat pump. It’s important to note that rust and erosion inside the unit are not as critical as they are in a furnace, but their presence still indicates a problem that should be checked by a professional.

Air Handlers

An air handler is the indoor portion to a heat pump central heating and cooling system. It does the job of circulating the warm and cool air around your home. Your air handler must be properly matched to your heat pump and the size of the area being heated and cooled in order to maximize the efficiency of the total system.

Vent Free Gas Logs

A new set of gas logs can improve your heating efficiency, add warmth and charm to your home, without disrupting your floor plan, raising your roof, or running miles of flue pipe. Installing a gas fireplace is a great way to increase your heating efficiency and enhance your décor without ruining your remodeling plans. Most gas logs are paired with automatic controls that make enjoying a dancing flame as easy as a flick of the switch. Handheld remotes allow homeowners to control the heat. Some even offer automatic shutoffs. One key feature is the electricity-free ignition offered by some manufacturers. With this homeowners need never worry about heat in times of power outages. More than a selling feature, electricity-free ignition ensures heat throughout the winter season, no matter what storms or winds may blow.
