Air Conditioner Installation & Repair
A spike in your electric bill is often the first sign your AC system needs a repair. Other signs include uneven cooling, high humidity, and irregular cycling.
If you have an older AC, it’s an excellent time to consider replacement over repairing it again. Modern ACs generally have much higher SEER ratings. That means they use less electricity, are better for the environment, and cost less to run. Many have the ENERGY STAR label as well, and that may let you claim rebates, tax credits, and other energy incentives.
Heating Repair & Replacement in Kutztown
Furnaces and other fuel-burning heating systems can cause higher fuel bills when they malfunction. It’s also important to watch for combustion issues, such as a pilot light that goes out frequently. If your furnace isn’t working, we provide fast, expert repairs.
If you’d like to replace an older furnace, consider a high-efficiency model. Conventional furnaces lose heat through their exhaust systems. Condensing furnaces have a second heat exchanger to limit those losses. That can improve fuel efficiency by 10% or more. Some models also have modulating gas valves, which lets them control the fuel flow. That allows them to use less fuel when the home doesn’t need the furnace’s full heating power.
Water Heaters & Expansion Tanks
If the time has come to replace your water heater, there are many exciting options. Even standard tank systems are much more efficient than older versions. A new installation is also an opportunity to convert to a tankless water heater. On-demand systems are cheaper to operate and provide a virtually unlimited hot water supply.
A common question is whether an expansion tank is necessary, and the answer depends. Local building codes require them if you have a closed plumbing system and a tank water heater. Code considers a system closed if it has pressure-reducing valves and/or a backflow preventer. In these scenarios, pressure can build up, damage your equipment, and cause backflow. An expansion tank avoids those problems by relieving that excess pressure.
Generac Whole-Home Generator Installation
Berks County is no stranger to power outages that can last for extended periods. Many area homeowners and businesses are installing generators to:
- Keep the lights on
- Prevent food losses
- Prepare warm meals
- Maintain their heating
The most common fuel types for generator installation are natural gas and liquid propane. Natural gas is the most convenient and cost-effective if you have access. Propane is an excellent alternative if you don’t. Another important consideration is the size of your generator. The smallest and least expensive generators provide essential coverage. That includes your lights, heating system, refrigerators, and freezers. Larger systems provide managed coverage that extends to kitchen appliances, home network equipment, and so on.
