Examples of our work
Safety first
Turn the furnace off and get help right away if you smell gas, a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, or you smell burning that does not fade. Leave the house and call 911 or your gas utility from outside.
Keep a working carbon monoxide detector on every level. The CPSC carbon monoxide guide explains what to do.
What fails in a true four season climate
Failed ignition systems
A weak ignitor or dirty flame sensor leaves you with no heat on the coldest night.
Filters choked by winter air
Inversions load filters with fine particles, which cuts airflow and strains the blower.
Heat pump trouble
Many homes here use heat pumps. A stuck reversing valve, defrost problem or dead backup heat shows up in cold weather.

Repair or replace?

Getting ready before the first snow
- Run the heat on a cool day in October to find problems while there is still time.
- Replace the filter. Winter inversions load filters with fine particles.
- Test carbon monoxide detectors and replace the batteries.
- Keep vents and registers clear of furniture.
- If you use a heat pump, check the outdoor unit for ice that does not clear.
