You want to keep every part of your home clean and in the best condition possible, but a complex piece of equipment like an air conditioner means a challenge.

If your air conditioner is failing to keep you cool and costing you a bundle, it might be due to a part of your home that stays hidden from view.

As it turns out, it's not all about your health!

Is a furnace or a boiler the better choice for your home? We'll help you decide.

We just want to make sure that your home is warm and efficient throughout the winter, which is why we provide prompt, affordable, friendly heating services all season long.

Are you really getting the most out of your thermostat? If you’re still struggling to get temperatures just right, if your thermostat does not have the programming options your friends and neighbors have, or if you are tired of an older, difficult-to-read thermostat model, call a local technician.

When your air conditioner breaks down in the middle of a hot day, you know to call us as soon as possible (or your local air conditioning technicians, wherever you are). But it’s just as important to call us when your air conditioner is not working properly, even if it hasn’t broken down and is still providing cool air.

It’s an unfortunate problem that may result in property damage or mold and mildew development. That’s why it’s so important for you to call a local technician as soon as you suspect a water leak from your air conditioner. But why would this happen? And how major is the repair going to be?

Summertime may be within arm’s reach, but you’re still using your heating system for a little longer if you’re in the Oak Grove, MN area. However, if you’ve noticed problems with the performance of your heating system, you may be tempted to wait to schedule repairs.

Most of us are attached to some sort of device—phone, tablet, or computer—for a good chunk of the day, in part because it’s replaced so many of the manual items that we once relied on. Maps have been replaced by an application, tablets take the place of books, and text messages are a lot easier than sticky notes.

Getting some fresh air helps you to feel a little more relaxed. After spending a large portion of your time indoors with the air conditioning and heating systems running, sometimes you want to open up a window or sit out on the back porch to get away from the stuffiness of the indoors.
