FAQs
My furnace in my Traverse City home keeps freezing up. What should I do?
Frozen HVAC components are a common issue in our Northern Michigan winters, often due to blocked airflow, refrigerant problems, or a malfunctioning defrost cycle. First, check and replace your air filter if it's dirty, as this is a frequent cause. If the issue persists, turn the system off to prevent damage and contact us. Our licensed technicians can diagnose whether it's a simple fix like a clogged drain line or a more complex refrigerant issue. We carry parts for most major brands and offer emergency repair services to restore your heat quickly and safely.
What does a preventative maintenance plan for my HVAC system include?
Our preventative maintenance plans are designed to keep your Traverse City home's heating and cooling systems running efficiently and help avoid costly breakdowns. A typical visit includes a thorough inspection, cleaning of essential components, checking refrigerant levels, testing system controls and safety devices, and lubricating moving parts. For plumbing, we can also inspect key areas. These regular check-ups allow our technicians to identify small issues before they become major problems, extend the life of your equipment, and help maintain optimal energy performance throughout the year.
Do you offer installation services for tankless water heaters?
Yes, we provide professional installation and replacement services for tankless water heaters.
