Baseboards making noises
Question: My heating baseboards making noises when the boiler turns on. Why is that?
Answer: Typically sounds made by vibrations coming from air traveling within the heating system pipes. There could be several reasons for this and the most basic one is that the system needs to be purged of all air. This must be done on a yearly basis. Have an HVAC technician service your boiler for a trouble free heating season.

My water bill is too high
Question: My water bill is much higher than usual. why?
Answer: Chances are there may be a leak. If there is no evident signs of leaks (i.e. wet floors/ceilings) there may be a leak either underground (i.e. heating pipe). But before jumping to conclusions please check for leaky faucets, showers, toilets and outside spiggets. When leaking, these fixtures leak constantly, which may accumulate into substantial amounts.

Air Conditioning system installation
It’s hard to stop a Trane (Trane’s official slogan). It’s nearly impossible to stop two Tranes! We installed two systems in one and half days in one house. Both systems were replacements. One was in the attic and cooled the second floor and the other in the basement, which cooled the first floor. This house will be cool for a very very long time. If you would like a Trane that doesn’t stop unless you want it to, please give us a call.
