More than a Standard Heating Contractor
The typical contractor approaches your home's heating at the equipment level. But your home comfort system is far more than your furnace or heat pump. These are just parts of a complex system including ductwork, grilles, registers, dampers, accessories and more. Think of it as your body's circulatory system. Your heart may be pumping, but if arteries are clogged or leaking, you will still be very very sick.
Hire a contractor you can trust – TLC works!
Whether maintaining your existing system or designing its replacement, your contractor MUST base his decisions on precise measurements and calculations of your entire system. And he should explain these so you can make informed decisions. A few years back, these technologies didn't even exist.
The sad fact is that our industry, however well intentioned, is not doing a very good job. According the U.S. Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency, "...well over half of all HVAC contractors do not size heating systems correctly." And it's not just the size of your equipment. Most contractors are missing critical factors that drain efficiency. Study after study has shown that typical home comfort systems end up performing well below the sticker ratings on equipment.
