Do you remember the air filter that was installed with your air conditioner? If not, we urge you to go check on it right away!
The air filter isn’t just an optional accessory—it’s a fundamental part of your HVAC system. If you don’t believe us, go take a look at it now and see how much dirt and dust has accumulated on it. If it weren’t for that air filter, you can expect all of that to end up inside your system, and that can cause a range of issues.
While the air filter is essential for protecting the system, not changing it can be just as bad as not having one in there at all. Here’s why:
When it comes to maintenance, the best possible time to have it performed is just before the season. Your furnace should have been tuned up before winter, if not before fall.
The end of winter is just around the corner. Your trusty furnace has made it through yet another intense season of cold weather. But at the same time, now might be as good a time as any to start asking yourself: is it truly performing its best? Because if it’s not, it might be time to have it replaced.

When it comes to insulating the home, the first mental image that appears might be that of the fluffy pink sheets, also known as fiberglass insulation. What many homeowners may not be aware of is that they can also opt for cellulose insulation, a type made of recycled paper.
As much as we hate to say it, there’s just no way around it:
Your furnace is acting funny, and it doesn’t seem like the problem is going to just go away on its own this time.
Airflow issues are perhaps one of the most annoying problems you can face with your furnace. Your furnace will turn on and start like it’s supposed to, leading you to believe that nothing is wrong—it’s only when you realize that your home isn’t warming up like it should that you might have an airflow issue.
You hear tons of talk about the benefits of ductless mini split heat pumps in the summer. For your air conditioning needs, they’re truly amazing.
Installing a new heater is a quick and painless process—especially when done by a professional. For what will only take a few hours of work, the result is incredible: a heater that can last you 10 to 15 years. To ensure that those years are truly worth it, we urge you to ask plenty of questions before your installation. Below, we’ve highlighted just three that every homeowner should ask before committing to a brand-new heater.
