One of the reasons Carbon Monoxide leaks are so dangerous is because they're so hard to detect. The poisonous gas is odorless and tasteless and often comes from cracked or rusted heat exchanger in your heater. This is why you should always have your heater checked regularly for possible defects, even if you have an alarm.

We care about your health and well-being! That's why we've decided to donate over 200 of these high-quality air filters to a non-profit organization responsible for distributing them to families affected by the terrible air quality as a result of the California and Oregon wildfires. Good indoor air quality means good health! Please take care of your indoor air quality and your health by replacing your filters, especially this wildfire season.... #airquality #donate #donation #nonprofitorganization #nonprofit #npo #goodworks #instagood #gooddeeds #charity #wildfires #wildfiresmoke #californiawildfires #oregonwildfires #centralvalley #goodnews #dogoodwork #dogoodthings #helpinghand #cats #shopcat

Summers here in the Valley are extremely hot, and don't seem to be getting any cooler...which could easily drive your electric bill sky high. Save on energy and still enjoy the cool and comfort of your AC with these three tips: 1. Setting your thermostat to 78 F. 2. Getting a smart thermostat. A smart thermostat can also save you a lot in the long run too, by managing your indoor temperature when you are away. 3.Lastly, use blinds as a no-cost way to block heat from streaming in through the windows to keep it cooler during the day.

While it is normal for HVAC units to produce a bit of noise when first kicking on, loud or unusual noises may mean serious problems in your unit. Having it checked and possibly serviced immediately could save you a lot of money and trouble later on. #home #homeowner #tips #modesto #turlock #ceres #livingston #losbanos #manteca #merced #atwater #oakdale #patterson #ripon #riverbank #salida

How often should you change your air filter? 60-90 days is the rule of thumb, but if you have pets at home, it's best to change it every 30 days to keep your system running as efficiently as possible. #hvacquality #hvacmaintenance #hvachack #hvaclife #modesto #turlock #ripon #oakdale #ceres

Nothing more annoying than an AC that turns on and off especially in this weather! It's called 'short cycling'. If this happens, it's probably due to dirty air filters that haven't been replaced, which can lead to more serious complications over time Another culprit might be dirty coils. If this happens, call us so we can investigate the issue for you! #ac #hvac #airconditioning #modesto #turlock #salida #manteca #merced #oakdale #riverbank #centralvalley

Repairs don't cost as much as a brand new unit. But in the long run, you might not be saving as much as you think. Older units will not perform as well and will be less energy efficient. On the other hand, a brand new AC will cost you more up front, but newer models are more energy efficient, which could drive your household energy bills down. #homeowner #homeownertips #hvac #repairorreplace #ac #airconditioner

Are you freaking out cause your AC suddenly won't turn on? Your thermostat may be the problem. Believe it or not, sometimes it's the batteries.

The number one culprit of most AC problems is dirt build up. Dirt can hinder the airflow from your AC to the room and this will eventually cause your air conditioner to freeze and shut down completely. The good news? This can be easily prevented with regular cleaning of your AC unit to keep dirt from accumulating in the air filter and on the coils. #hvaclife #HVACMaintenance #HVACcleaning #hvacproblems #dirt #dirty #airflow #ventilation #maintenance #ac #airconditioning #energy #energyefficiency #modesto #turlock #merced
