  HEAT PUMP

      GAS FURNACE

DIRTY FILTERS, DIRTY COILS, BURNT WIRES, LOW ON FREON, BROKEN FAN BLADES OR FAILED DEFROST CONTROLS CAN ALL CAUSE POOR HEATING AND HIGH ELECTRIC BILLS. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HAD YOUR SYSTEM CHECKED? REGULAR SERVICE CAN HELP DETECT MINOR PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BECOME MAJOR ONES. LAST WINTER WAS ONE OF THE WORST ON RECORD AND THIS SUMMER WAS AWFUL AND YOUR SYSTEM HAS WORKED OVERTIME DOING ITS JOB. REGULAR SERVICE IS A MINOR EXPENSE COMPARED TO REPLACEMENT!!

ATTENTION!!!

EVERY YEAR WE READ ABOUT A HOME THAT HAS BURNED DOWN OR A FAMILY OVER COME BY CARBON MONOXIDE FROM A FAILED GAS FURNACE.  IMPROPERLY BURNING GAS FURNACE'S CAN BE COSTLY AS WELL AS DANGERIOUS! CARBON MONOXIDE IS ODORLESS / TASTELESS AND CAN NOT BE DETECTED UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE. ANY SYSTEM ANY TIME CAN HAVE A PROBLEM. BIRDS IN THE FLUE, LINT IN THE BURNERS, PILOT OUT OF ALIGNMENT CAN ALL CAUSE IMPROPER COMBUSTION AND CARBON MONOXIDE.  

REGULAR SERVICE CHECK LIST

NEW SYSTEM?

TEST ALL SENSORS AND SAFETY'S

REVIEW FINDINGS WITH YOU AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON REPAIRS.

 

 

YES EVEN NEW SYSTEMS NEED                            SERVICE!!!

 

WOULD YOU BUY A NEW CAR AND NEVER SERVICE IT?

 

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOUR HEATING/COOLING/ELECTRIC/PLUMBING ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT AREAS OF THE HOME? YOU CAN HAVE ALL THE BEST IN KITCHENS, BATHS AND REC. ROOMS BUT IF THE HOME HAS A FAILURE OF ANY OF THE ABOVE..YOU CAN'T ENJOY THEM AND SOMETIME..CAN'T EVEN STAY IN THE HOME. A GATHERING ISN'T MUCH FUN IF IT'S 50 DEGREES IN THE HOUSE.

We will take the time and help you design any space/house to meet your needs. Whether you are remodeling an existing kitchen or creating a new addition for extra living space, the process starts by visualizing the end result.

Click the picture to the left to view a short 3-D rendering video.

 

 

We encourage you to gather pictures and ideas prior to engaging us in the process. You will have time to understand your new space and how it will function. We will lend our many years of "What Works" and What Does Not Work" experience and the end result will be amazing.

 

The needs of every family are different and we want your new space to be exactly the way you have envisioned it. We will pay particular attention to any special needs that your project requires, for instance ADA compliant access and accessories.

 

We have done work for many families who have graciously given us permission to use their homes as references.

 

Call 410-414-7060 and let's get together to discuss your project.

Green Tips

Clean air ducts save money when they are clean, especially in the Winter.

 

 It's the time of year when homes have their highest energy demand of the year. Heating accounts for 34% of all annual utility usage and is part of what makes an average home twice the emitter of carbon dioxide emissions as a vehicle. Here is a way to reduce the demand for expensive space heating.

 

Check the ducts  to ensure that as much warm air as possible is

 delivered through your central system, check the ductwork and wrap any leaks with duct mastic. Distribution losses (what's lost while air is transported from your furnace through ductwork to the vents) often amounts to 30%. So, sealing ductwork could increase efficiency and the warm air you receive considerably ... keeping you warmer and making your furnace work less.
