3 Ways To Tell You Need To Replace Some Ductwork

Monday, December 12th, 2022

Have you ever tried to drive on a road full of potholes? Or, for an even better example, imagine having to cross a bridge to get to work but discovering that the bridge has collapsed.

A large break or disconnect in your ductwork means the airflow is stopped until repairs or a replacement are taken care of.

Here’s the tricky part though. Unlike a fallen or crumbling bridge, a disconnect or major damage to your ducts isn’t visibly obvious. So, how do you know when you need expert service to fix your ducts? Read on to find out if you need to schedule your ductwork services with our team.

“Can I DIY My Furnace Installation?”

Monday, March 7th, 2022

man-looking-contemplativeWe live in a time of online tutorials galore–for just about any type of household project you want to pursue, you’ll be able to find instructions online. Of course, this doesn’t always mean those will be good instructions. When you don’t know who the tutorial is coming from, it can leave things a little up in the air.

This can sometimes be pretty inconsequential–like if someone is showing you how to paint a wall without streaks, the consequences aren’t going to be as bad if it’s done “incorrectly” compared to if someone is showing you how to, say, install a furnace–with the latter being a more costly mistake to make, for sure!

We get it, you might still be tempted to try it on your own. After all, you want convenience, right? And not working on a contractor’s schedule can seem convenient. But in actuality, many folks try a job like this on their own and then have to call us anyway when something goes wrong.

Read on to learn how it’s actually more convenient to hire a trained and experienced professional for your furnace installation, and how it can give you greater peace of mind!
