Before You Call Our Team

Refer to our helpful checklist below before you give us a call to ensure you're not missing a simple solution to your HVAC issues.


Air Conditioning Checklist

  1. Is the thermostat set to cool?
  2. Is the thermostat turned lower than the temperature in the house?
  3. Have you changed the batteries in the thermostat?
  4. Are all breakers and fuses good?
  5. Is the service switch on at the air conditioner?
  6. Are all covers in place on the air conditioner and furnace?
  7. Do you see ice on any of the pipes? If so, turn the AC off and call for service.
  8. Are filters clean?


Furnace Checklist

  1. Is the thermostat set to heat?
  2. Is the thermostat turned higher than the temperature in the house?
  3. Have you changed the batteries in the thermostat?
  4. Are all breakers and fuses good?
  5. Is the service switch on at the furnace?
  6. Are all covers in place on the furnace?
  7. Are filters clean?
  8. Turn the furnace power off for two minutes, then back on to see if the furnace starts back up. This will reboot the furnace. If this works you will still want to have the furnace inspected for issues.


If none of these solutions fix the problem, contact our experts to schedule a diagnostic service call or maintenance check.


Should You Repair or Replace Your System?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your HVAC system can be challenging. Here are some factors to consider:

  • System age: Repairs may be more cost-effective for systems less than 10 years old
  • 50% rule: If repair costs are less than half the value of a new system, repair may be the better option
  • Moving: Consult a real estate agent if you are planning to move in the near future to see if a new system could increase your home's value
  • Maintenance: Simple maintenance can extend the life of your system
