The heating and cooling systems in your home are designed to provide you with maximum comfort no matter the temperature outside. When either is not running at peak efficiency, it can be challenging to keep your home at a comfortable temperature – which can have an impact on both your home’s environment and your wallet! Your HVAC system is also designed to circulate air and filter dust and allergens from the air. If your HVAC ceases to ventilate and filter properly, dust will increase around your home and negatively impact your respiratory health.
Maintaining your HVAC system is as important as maintaining your car – taking care of your both will keep it running, lengthen its lifespan, and avoid expensive repairs.
It is recommended that you perform maintenance tasks on your HVAC system every spring and fall, including:

Emitless offers blown-in insulation services to protect you from hot summers and cold winters
Unless it is a simple repair task such as replacing your filters, cleaning the condenser unit, or repairing insulation, it’s best to leave repairs to the professionals. Otherwise, you risk injuries such as shock and electrocution and can compromise your equipment’s efficiency and void your warranty.
Determining the right size system for your home involves knowing how many BTUs of heating and tons of AC you need which is determined by a variety of factors such as your home’s square footage, climate zone, ductwork, windows, insulation, etc. The best way to figure out what size you require is to have a professional technician visit your home and make a determination.
When it comes to water heaters, you can choose between tank heaters and tankless heaters. Tankless heaters are more energy-efficient as they do not use energy to constantly reheat your water in a tank. If you do opt for a tank water heater, the size of the tank will depend on how many people live in your home. Size isn’t as important for tankless water heaters but you need to pay attention to the flow rate which is measured in gallons per minute (GPM) – the bigger your home, the higher GPM you will need.
Blown-in insulation is more efficient than other types of insulation such as fiberglass because it is loose-fill insulation that has a higher R-value (how well a substance or material prevents the flow of heat in and out of the home). It is also easier and quicker to install than other forms of insulation.
