Heating/Cooling Blog

Now more than ever it is a priority to ensure that the air quality inside of your home is clean and safe. How do you protect your family while ensuring clean air in the home?

Necessity and cost savings are the mother of invention, or something like that. New construction, in an attempt to prevent drafts, uses materials and techniques that have created a virtually impermeable structure.

One size does not fit all when it comes to many things and that includes your heating and cooling equipment. Ensuring your home is comfortable is not an easy task when it comes to selecting the right equipment. So, which do you choose? A heat pump or an air conditioner?

Basements are a fantastic additional space in a home. They’re perfect for extra storage, creating a family area, even extra bedrooms. One thing many basements have in common though is that they’re often chilly.

The winter months north of 35° longitude can get pretty cold. Cold air means dry air. And that dry air invades your home every time someone opens a door. It also gets in through windows, outlets, and any other little cracks in your building envelope.

We’ve been incredibly lucky and the weather hasn’t been too chilly yet, however, they’re always saying that Winter Is Coming. That couldn’t be more true in North America.

Whether you are an experienced homeowner who is disappointed in the latest heating bill, or a new homeowner stunned by the actual costs of running a household, one thing is certain. You need to find the best settings for your thermostat for maximum savings and comfort.

The hottest season of the year is on its way and you’ve got your summer all planned out — but did “HVAC prep” make it to your checklist?

How Clean Is Your Home Air? It’s something that you don’t really think about, myself included. People spend a lot of time indoors, upwards of 90% of their time, and the quality of the air you breathe is important.

HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems are integral parts of every home. This system is responsible for heating and cooling your home in order to provide a comfortable living space for all seasons.

Thanks to air conditioners, the summer season becomes a little bit more bearable for everyone. But before summer arrives, you have to determine if your AC has still got your back — or if it’s already on the decline.

While an annual inspection by a certified HVAC technician is recommended, changing your unit’s air filter is a task you can do yourself.

Now that summer is upon us, it’s time to get your home warm-weather ready! You’ve probably already dusted off your lawn care tools, and your grilling kits are polished and at the ready.

Settling on the right temperature when sleeping can be a herculean task. You may want it warmer while your partner wants it cooler, or vice versa. What we can all agree on is that even slight changes in ambient temperature will affect how well we sleep.

Your AC unit works hard to keep your house cool, and it’s your responsibility to make sure it knows all its efforts are highly appreciated by giving it a nice deep clean.

You likely have unwelcome guests living in your home – pesky molds – and they’re unfortunately more stubborn than the typical teenager and multiply much faster than you can say “ew.”

As we wave goodbye to the summer season, we already know we’ll be spending a lot less time outside.
