about us

HVAC is short for Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning.

HVAC systems usually last about 10-15 years depending on how much usage it gets and how well maintained it is.

SEER stands for the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, which measures an air conditioning unit’s efficiency. The higher the SEER number, means the unit uses less power making it more energy friendly.

We recommend at least two times a year (every six months) for residential and quarterly (every three months) for commercial to keep your HVAC systems running at tip-top shape. We do provide maintenance contracts for both residential & commercial applications.

Yes. R-22 is no longer allowed in new equipment due to environmental regulations. Since many existing residential air conditioning units still use it, R-22 is still produced. However, it is gradually being phased out. By January 1, 2020, the production of R-22 will be reduced by 99.5%. It will become expensive and difficult to find. Therefore, if your system uses R-22 refrigerant, you may want to consider switching to a newer system.

Mini-splits are heating and cooling systems that allow you to control the temperatures in individual rooms or spaces. Mini-split systems have two main components -- an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit(s) (evaporator). They are easy to install usually requiring only a three-inch hole through a wall for the conduit; which houses the power and communication cables, copper tubing, and a condensation drain line, linking the outdoor and indoor units. Mini-split heat pumps are not only great solutions for whole home or new constructions but make good retrofit add-ons to houses with “non-ducted” heating systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane). They can also be a good choice for room additions where extending or installing distribution ductwork is not feasible, and energy efficient new homes that require only a small space conditioning system.
