Air Conditioning Installation and Maintenance

1. Schedule regular maintenance: Annual check-ups can prevent costly breakdowns and extend your system’s lifespan.

2. Choose the right size: Ensure your AC unit is properly sized for your home to maximize efficiency and comfort.

3. Keep the outdoor unit clean: Remove debris and trim vegetation around the unit to maintain proper airflow.

Heating System Care

1. Replace filters regularly: Clean or replace furnace filters every 1-3 months to improve air quality and efficiency.

2. Seal ductwork: Inspect and seal any leaks in your ductwork to prevent heat loss and reduce energy bills.

3. Consider a programmable thermostat: Save energy by automatically adjusting temperatures based on your schedule.

Plumbing Maintenance

1. Fix leaks promptly: Even small leaks can waste water and lead to more significant issues if left unaddressed.

2. Insulate pipes: Prevent freezing and heat loss by insulating exposed pipes in unheated areas.

3. Be mindful of what goes down the drain: Avoid disposing of grease, coffee grounds, and other problematic materials in your plumbing system.
