-
Is a heat pump or air conditioner the best option for my home?It depends on your personal preference. If you want an energy-efficient, low-maintenance solution to heating and cooling and aren’t concerned about the upfront costs, you may want to consider a heat pump. However, if you’re on a budget and already have a heater, an AC unit might be a better solution.
-
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance or inspections?Annual to semi-annual maintenance is more than enough to keep the average HVAC system in tip-top shape. However, if your HVAC unit sees constant use, more frequent maintenance and inspections might be necessary.
-
What is the difference between a surge protector and a surge suppressor?Surge protectors detect problematic surges and protect the unit by turning it off before any damages occur. Surge suppressors regulate voltages to provide steady power, preventing unwanted surges and spikes.
-
Generator or Battery Backup: Which option is right for my home?Much like air conditioners and heat pumps, it depends on your personal preference. Battery backups are eco-friendly, quiet, and more cost-efficient for longtime use but are expensive to install. Most generators run on fossil fuels and require more maintenance.
-
What is an air conditioning SEER rating?SEER stands for seasonal energy efficiency ratio and tells you an AC unit’s energy input and output levels. A high SEER rating indicates a better-performing unit. Heat pumps also use the SEER rating system. While AC units and heat pumps with high SEER ratings usually come with a higher price tag, the long-term savings are often worth the additional cost.
-
How often should you get your drains or sewer lines cleaned?Keeping your drains and sewer lines clean is crucial if you want to avoid troublesome clogs and blockages. We recommend scheduling drain and sewer line cleaning at least every 18 to 22 months. We also offer high-quality sewer line video inspection if you believe you might have an issue with your sewer line.
