Use our quick summer home maintenance guide to get the hard work out of the way at the beginning of the season. Don’t worry if the weather is already heating up; these tasks are indoors:

  • Walk around your home's exterior and slide open crawl space vents at the foundation.
  • Prune trees and shrubs.
  • Remove lint from dryer exhaust vent with a long, flexible brush.
  • Uncover central air conditioner and install window air conditioners.

Inside

  • Change or clean heating, ventilation and air conditioning filters. Consult manufacturer instructions for your furnace to determine whether you need to change filters more frequently. Learn more about choosing a filter. Get information on cleaning or replacing your HVAC filters.

90-Day repair Guarantee

If we’ve been in your home within 90 days and you’re still having the same problem, we will come look at it again with no additional trip charge. If you go ahead with a Technician’s professional repair recommendation, get Lifetime Repair Guarantee on that repair.

The only viable way to know what size furnace or air conditioner your home needs is to perform a Heat Loss/Heat Gain Analysis that considers specific construction elements of the home such as size, windows, insulation, number of people and more. The proper size equipment will ensure optimal energy efficiency, operation and help you get the longest life out of your system.
