Understanding heating and cooling systems
Heating and cooling systems take a lot of training to service but understanding the basics can allow you to handle routine maintenance like changing filters, making surface diagnoses, and knowing who to call if something isn’t quite right.

What is home performance?
Routine maintenance of your heating and cooling equipment should always include a home performance assessment to ensure your systems are working cohesively. Audits and assessments provide information about your home’s air quality, energy output, and system diagnostics, among other factors listed in this section. These tests allow our HVAC technicians to properly calibrate, upgrade, or otherwise manage your units efficiently.
