What’s Lurking in Your Home’s Air Ducts?

Monday, September 23rd, 2024

An important and often overlooked component of your home’s HVAC system is the ventilation system. It’s so important that it represents the “V” in HVAC. A furnace and an air conditioner are only so good as the ventilation system that distributes the conditioned air. It’s been estimated that as much as 30% of this conditioned air is lost in leaky ductwork.

Not only that, but contaminants can make their way into your home via ductwork. When your HVAC system runs, these contaminants are redistributed throughout your home, contributing to poor indoor air quality. For these reasons, duct cleaning in Hagerstown, MD is recommended every 3–5 years.

Let’s go over the importance of this essential service.

Don’t Get Scammed Into an Oversized Heat Pump

Monday, March 25th, 2024

Hvac Tech Showing Customers His Clipboard

As more and more homeowners switch from central furnaces and air conditioners to heat pumps, we’d like to remind our customers about the dangers of an oversized heat pump. Just like any HVAC system, professional and proper sizing is required to ensure your heat pump runs efficiently and effectively so it can adequately heat and cool your home.

Although heat pumps have been around for decades, they’ve surged in popularity fairly recently. As such, a lot of amateurs don’t have the skills that are needed to properly size a heat pump—especially when switching from a furnace/AC system to a heat pump.

Because these systems provide both heating and cooling, there’s more to consider compared to the sizing of separate systems. Let’s go over why heat pumps need to be so accurately sized and the cons of an oversized heat pump.
