Central Heating
Central Heating installations and repairs are part of our daily business. We have been installing and repairing all types of central heating systems for over two decades. Every installation begins with a comprehensive assessment of your home to determine the best type of system for your needs. The next step is to select the correct equipment for your home in which size, efficiency; brand, type, etc. are carefully considered. We then design the entire system and schedule the installation.
Central heating unit installation can be as fast as one to two day job. If you are replacing a central heating unit and the duct work is the proper size, then it can probably be replaced in a day. Add time to that if the duct work has to be replaced or if there has never been a central heating installation before.

Heating Installation

One of the keys to effective and efficient residential heating installation is determining the right size system for a given house. Even if the system you are replacing is only ten years old, your new system will likely be much more efficient, particularly if you have done any weatherproofing in your house during that time. This means that it's easier than ever to oversize a residential heating installation, which is inefficient and more costly to operate. Don't let your heating contractor simply take the size listed on the current unit's nameplate. Do a proper calculation. Otherwise, the contractor will use the same size as your last unit or go up a size, and that's not a good enough guess.
Sometimes gas and electric utilities in the community will calculate the correct size for a residential heating installation and charge very little for the service. It is a good investment. "Manual J" is the most common method to use for the calculation. It is based on a publication by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America and is one of the approved standards. There are numerous factors that affect the size of residential heating installation you need: the R-value of the home's insulation, the type of windows, and an examination of air leakage are all important. Sizing a new heating unit correctly is a major step to installing the most comfortable and efficient system for your house.

Heating Repair
Many heating systems can be repaired in lieu of replacement which can save thousands of dollars. We have the expertise to determine whether it's feasible to fix a heater or if your best option is to replace the equipment which also increases system efficiency. Most heating repairs are performed the same day and our experience certified technicians are trained on Most major brands.
Sometimes heating repair is simple and it's something that can be fixed easily. Other times, fixing a heater takes a crew of heating repair professionals working for hours to get things straightened out.
At home, if you would like to try and fix your heater first, check the obvious things. Did a circuit breaker flip? Is the heating system set correctly in terms of "fan" "heat" or "a/c"? If you're not comfortable doing anything with the actual outdoor unit then you should definitely call in a heating repair professional so as not to risk your own safety.
If you check outside and the condensing fan motor doesn't run, you could have a bad capacitor or a bad motor. Check the fan blade. Is it stiff or hard to turn? If so, then you probably need a heater repair professional to replace a motor.
If the unit won't start or won't stop, it is possible that bugs or dirt have come between the contactors for either the "on" or "off" position. You can use a can of compressed air to blow across the contactors to see if that will repair the heater. For anything less obvious, it is only prudent to call in a heating repair professional.

If your Heating system stops working properly, there are several things you can do to try to figure out what the problem is. Many of these problems will have to be fixed by a professional, but diagnosing the problem beforehand can result in a shorter service call. Always cut off all power before trying to troubleshoot your heating system.
If the condensing fan motor (outdoors) stops, you could need a new capacitor or a new motor. If the fan blade is hard to turn then it's probably a new motor you need.
If the compressor will not start, and all you can hear is the outdoor condenser fan, the compressor is locked. Sometimes compressors are reluctant to start after sitting unused over the winter. Sometimes compressors can be re-started, but sometimes a new compressor is necessary.
If the outdoor condensing unit won't shut off unless you turn off the breaker, perhaps dirt or insects have worked their way in between the contact points when the contactor is off, causing it not to be able to shut off. Ice can form on the indoor evaporator coil, and air can not flow through the duct work. It is a good idea to get a can of compressed air and blow out the contactor at the beginning of the cooling season to prevent this problem.

It is extremely frustrating to wake up on the hottest day of the year, or go to your office one steamy summer morning only to find that the Heating system isn't working. Sometimes the explanation is simple and it's something that can be fixed easily. Other times, it takes a crew of heating technicians working for hours to get things straightened out.

Commercial Heating
Commercial Heating systems are usually large systems applied to Commercial applications which require regular maintenance and service since the demand on these systems is year round. Our friendly staff can service, maintain, and install most commercial Heating systems found in office buildings, shopping centers and malls across America. We can upgrade your existing system to reduce energy cost or service your existing system. We are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Commercial heating and air conditioning can account for over 50% of the energy used in a commercial building, so it's wise to implement as many energy saving measures as possible. The best commercial heating and air conditioning designs consider the way the different parts of a building are used and how they interact. This way, the mechanical designer and architect can choose the best heating and cooling system for the facility.
Heating systems may work by direct radiation into the space to be heated, direct heating of circulated air, or heating of water that is circulated to the vicinity of a space and used to heat circulated air. Some of the available heating technologies in commercial heating and air conditioning include: radiant floor heat; heat pumps; high efficiency gas-powered rooftop units, electric resistance heat, and boilers.
For cooling, the commercial heating and air conditioning system blows air over a surface of a material called a coil that is made very cold by a state change from liquid to gas of the chemical inside the coil. Cool air is then pumped into the room that needs cooling and air already in the room
Any air conditioning and heating system will have three constituent parts: a source of air at the desired temperature; a way to distribute the air; and a thermostat used to control the system. Though the air conditioning and heating parts can be made into their own self-contained systems, most homes have central air conditioning and heating in the same unit, controlled by the same thermostat.
Any air conditioning and heating system works on the basic physical principle that heat moves from a warmer place to a cooler place. Heaters add warm air to your house while air conditioners remove heat from your home. While air conditioning systems run on electricity, heating can run on electricity, gas, or oil. The heat produced as the fuel is burned is shuttled to the rooms of a home through a system of ducts. There are old fashioned systems that heat water and store it in a boiler. The hot water is circulated through pipes that are embedded in the floor, ceiling, or walls.
When an air conditioner is switched on, electricity cools a gas in a coil until it liquifies. Warm air in the house is cooled when it comes in contact with the system's cooling coil. This cooler air is channeled throughout the home with a system of ducts.
