We performed out standard furnace tune-up - verifying safe function with carbon monoxide checks inside the home and proper operation of the furnace and all furnace safeties. We also confirmed proper condensate drainage and airflow.
We identified that the filters being used are too restrictive and made a recommendation for a better filter to improve airflow and system performance.
We also noted that one zone did not operate as intended. We confirmed that it functioned properly but did not always receive the correct signal from the zone board. We re-programmed the unit and the problem resolved itself.
We completed a fall maintenance on a ducted heat pump and investigated the cause of a noise on the outdoor ductless outdoor unit. We found a loose capacitor and secured it. Note: we had deep cleaned the ductless system over the summer so we did not repeat a cleaning at this time.
We completed a combined heating and cooling maintenance after the first year of operation. So we checked heat pump operation in both modes and then checked the furnace for proper operation.
We also answered some questions and made some adjustments based on the clients' observations about the system and comfort across all levels after the first year. Specifically we made an adjustment to the basement return to improve air return from the basement.
We were able to schedule a call quickly and found a failed indoor motor. The unit was still covered under the standard 5 year manufacturer warranty - it had not been registered for the extended 10 year warranty - so we worked with the manufacturer to have a new motor delivered.
We had the new motor before the next weekend, and warmer weather, so we scheduled a return visit to replace the failed motor and return air conditioning.
In our initial fall visits, we diagnosed an overcharge of refrigerant and improper airflow. We recovered some charge and adjusted airflow and saw improvement. Then the weather shifted and it functioned as expected in heat mode.
So we paused - until the compressor died. We replaced the compressor and charged the system to manufacturer specifications and it ran perfectly in heating mode. Then the heat returned and again it would not cool properly. We dug deeper and discovered that the system did not have the correct coil - unclear if it was a factory or installer fault - and we secured a correct warranty coil.
We replaced the faulty coil and the system functions perfectly - even in extreme, record-breaking heat. Our client is comfortable again and the system numbers we focus on are what we expect to see for a healthy system.
We installed a hybrid heating system combining an 80% efficient American Standard furnace with a Moovair heat pump and matched coil. This combination provides the comfort and efficiency of the heat pump as the primary AC and heat source, with the comfort of a gas furnace as the secondary source of heat for the coldest times of the year.

Clean outdoor coils transfer heat more efficiently, which means your system operates more efficiently. When your coils are clogged with pollen, dirt, leaves, and grass, they cannot efficiently cool or heat your home. But they can be cleaned and returned to efficient service with no damage done to the coil.
We replaced a 28 year old Trane heat pump system that had a modified zoning system with a modern, true variable speed (indoor and outdoor) American Standard heat pump system. We matched this digital system to a digital comfort control that delivered the full capability of the existing zoning system.
Our client was concerned about extremely uncomfortable temperatures in her kids' rooms - one unbearably hot and the other too cold. She also complained of uneven temperatures in the master bedroom. We completed an ACCA Manual J load calculation to determine the needed airflow in each room and adjusted or added dampers to balance the airflow. We also repaired the return air duct from the master bedroom to improve airflow back through the system. These changes also reduced total static pressure in the system which will help efficiency and system longevity.
Within days, under extreme cold outdoor temperatures - our client reported greatly improved comfort in her childrens' room and in the master suite.
The photos tell the story of why regular maintenance is so important. On a routine maintenance we found a crack in the combustion wall. By the time we returned with the replacement, the crack was almost full depth of the ceramic wall. We replaced the entire chamber, cleaned it from top to bottom and returned the system to service.
