An HVAC changeout refers to the process of replacing an existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system with a new one. This can involve replacing either the entire HVAC system or specific components such as the furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump. HVAC changeouts are common for several reasons: Equipment Upgrade: Homeowners or building […]
Mini splits, or ductless mini-split air conditioning systems, are designed to work efficiently in a wide range of temperatures, including sub-zero temperatures. However, their performance can be influenced by various factors, and it’s essential to consider certain aspects: System Specifications: Some mini splits are specifically designed for cold climates and come with features like low-temperature […]

An 80% gas furnace refers to a type of heating system that operates at 80% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE). AFUE is a measure of how efficiently a furnace converts the energy in its fuel (natural gas, in this case) into heat over the course of a heating season. The AFUE percentage represents the portion […]
Installing a mini-split system involves several steps and is typically best done by a licensed HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) professional. However, if you have experience with electrical work (we always recommend you hire a licensed electrician) and are comfortable with basic construction tasks, you can attempt the installation yourself. Keep in mind that […]
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and it is a measure of the energy efficiency of air conditioning and heat pump systems. SEER is a standardized way of expressing the efficiency of cooling equipment over an entire cooling season. Here’s how SEER is calculated: SEER=Total heat removed during the seasonTotal electrical energy consumed during the seasonSEER=Total electrical energy consumed during the seasonTotal heat removed during the season In simpler terms, SEER is the ratio of the […]
