An air conditioner that’s too small won’t keep your home sufficiently cool. However, an oversized system will cycle (turn on and off) more than necessary, wasting expensive energy and possibly putting undue strain on the compressor. Our service professional will determine the optimum size for your home by making a careful study of your cooling requirements and will specify the cooling capacity of the system in either Btu/h (British thermal units of heat removed per hour) or refrigeration tons (one ton being equal to 12,000 Btu/h).

HVAC maintenance is not just for when problems occur. HVAC preventative maintenance should be performed so homeowners do not have to worry about a unit breaking down at an inopportune time. Preventative maintenance will not only give homeowners peace of mind but will also keep a home comfortable all year long.

Some homeowners do this on a monthly basis. Also, make sure to have your heat pump, furnace, or air conditioner serviced on a regular basis. The addition of a programmable thermostat will not only allow you to determine your comfort level, but is also a big contributor to taking control of your heating costs.
