Carbon monoxide, also known as the "silent killer," is a big problem. A failed natural gas furnace or other appliance can release poisonous CO gas into your home. The problem is that carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, meaning that without proper precautions, you won't know if there is a problem. We offer low cost accessories that can alert you if you ever have a problem with carbon monoxide in your home, helping you breathe easier!

Of course, like any machine, proper maintenance is important in maximizing the life of your comfort system. We recommend getting a Betelm tune up twice per year. These services are included with our Premier and Preferred Maintenance Plans.

It is also important to ensure that your comfort system is properly sized for your home when it is installed. Improper sizing can lower the useful life of a comfort system, cause it to run at a lower efficiency level, and reduce the comfort level of your home. Make sure your HVAC contractor does a proper heat loss calculation before they install your system!

Today's thermostats offer a wide range of energy saving and comfort options. Most thermostats today give you the ability to program them for optimal comfort and efficiency. Higher end models can provide "energy monitoring" features, showing you which appliances in your home are using up more energy, and at which times of the day. Give us a call or ask your comfort advisor about thermostat options if you would like more information. Click here to visit out Thermostats Home Page.
