Clean or replace your filters monthly

Keep return grille and supply registers clear of furniture, draperies, clothing, toys, etc. to ensure proper air flow

Have a professional inspect your duct system to make sure it is safe and has the proper amount of insulation

If you are having a heating or cooling problem, you should check the following before calling for service: tripped circuit breakers, blown fuses, or clogged filters

Never try to repair your heating & cooling system yourself. You could further damage your system, not to mention risk of electrocution, burn or other serious injury to yourself

Have your system serviced by a professional to ensure it is running at its peak performance

If your system is 10 years old or more, you may consider upgrading to a new, more efficient system to save you money on energy costs

• State Contractors Licenses

• City & County Business Licenses

You may also request references from the company. Ask your friends, family, neighbors and anyone else you may trust for their opinion
