Heater or air conditioner installation is an easy and effective way to experience soothing temperatures in your homes when the weather conditions outside are harsh. Recent advanced technologies have come up with energy-efficient models for better power savings.

Turn off the A/C

If you have central air, turn off the power at the outdoor disconnect box and/or at the electrical panel.

We do not recommend completely covering the condensing unit because it can create condensation, which corrodes parts. It also creates a cozy environment for small critters to escape winter and they will chew wires, effectively disabling your unit for use when the warm weather comes. If a lot of leaves fall in the vicinity, a board on top of the unit is a good idea.

Furnaces are used to keep homes warm in winter by heating the inside air. During summer, they help circulate the conditioned air from your cooling system. They are a very good option if you need consistent air circulation in your home to keep you warm and comfortable. Like any other appliance, furnaces need regular maintenance. Furnace cleaning not only enhances the efficiency but also increases the life expectancy of your appliance.
