It may cost less initially to replace the outdoor unit on an older system. However, over time utility expenses will add up and may even cost you more.

Matching your units now may have an extended warranty if registered online.

Yes. Changing your air filter at least once every six months will not only help you save on your monthly bills but also will help extend the life of your system.
All of the air in your home circulates and re-circulates through the same filter attached to your indoor unit. Designed to remove dust particles to keep the air you breath clean, filters become clogged, causing your system to work less efficiently and costing you more to operate it. If left unchanged long enough, your system could fail completely.
Systems should be checked twice a year, a spring start-up and a fall start-up.
A start-up is when an hvac system professional checks the key components of your system and makes adjustments to the system to keep it operating efficiently.
our start-ups include tasks such as these:
- A/c start-up:
- Check pressures
- Check electrical components
- Check filters
- And replace batteries in thermostats
- Heat start-ups:
- Check amperage of blower motor
- Check for carbon monoxide leaks
- Check filters
- Check burners
- And replace batteries in thermostats
Yes, we can offer financing for york equipement. We also accept visa, master card and discover.
Probably, as the salt that is present in the water and in the air will cause pitting and corrosion of the outdoor equipment more so than inland.

You can look for visible signs of corrosion or rust. Corrosion may occur more frequently in shore areas due to the salt in the air and water. Also, there are two brands of panels that may have major manufacturing and/or design flaws that potentially put homeowners at risk – federal pacific electric panels and certain Zinsco panels. Of course an electrician should be called to check beyond the visible signs.
Most household service work will not require a permit. Larger projects such as room additions, service and panel upgrades will require a permit and subsequent inspections. Failure to hire a licensed professional could require your work to be completely redone at additional expense.
There are many reasons that can cause this to happen. Possible causes of this are the outlets/lights that work are on a separate circuit than those that do not work. It is also possible an outlet is bad. Some outlets and light switches wear out and simple replacement fixes the problem. You will want to check your electrical panels breakers to ensure there are no tripped breakers. If all the breakers are reset and on and you still cannot get power to the outlet and/or light, call a licensed electrician.
Flickering light could be the symptom of several problems. This should be checked. It could be a loose connection in the circuit. It could also be a problem outside your house especially if all the lights in the house seem to be flickering.

Most of the electricity in your home is used by the heating and air system and water heating. Make sure your heating and cooling systems are running efficiently and central systems are checked twice a year. By installing the most energy – efficient rated equipment, you will save money over the lifetime of the equipment. You could also install a programmable thermostat that will operate your systems more effectively, thus saving run times of your system and saving money other things like cutting shower time, leaving on unnecessary lights, changing to led or fluorescent from conventional bulbs. Another thing that could cause increases in your electric consumption would be a bad break or loose connections at the breaker box. Having trained professional check it could minimize some costs. To keep your equipment running efficiently, keep heating and cooling air ducts clean and outdoor equipment free from dirt and other debris. Energy conservation not only saves our resources, but saves you money.
Go to your electrical panel, open up the panel the ‘tripped’ breaker will not be in either the on or off position, but rather in between. Sometimes a small red portion of the breaker will be exposed to show you the tripped breaker. To reset it, just push the switch to the off position and then back to the on position. You should hear a snapping sound and feel some resistance. In the event that the circuit continues to trip, contact shore point for service.
If your unit is 7 years old or older, requires frequent repairs or stops working, fails to heat or cool areas of your home, runs excessively or constantly turns on and off, or produces high utility bills, it can be more economical to replace your existing system.
