Should I repair or replace my HVAC system?
Rule of thumb: if the repair cost is more than 50% of a new system's price and the unit is over 10 years old, replacement is usually the better long-term call. We give you both numbers so you can decide.
How do you size HVAC systems?
With an ACCA Manual J load calculation. This accounts for insulation, window placement, infiltration, and orientation rather than just square footage. Manual J is the industry standard and prevents oversizing.

Cash, check, and major credit cards. For larger installations we work with financing partners; terms depend on credit and the lender.
