Frequently Asked Questions
What do you suggest for Indoor Air Quality?
At a minimum, we suggest every homeowner in Oak Park goes with a thicker air filter and installs a whole home humidifier. We only recommend UV or ionization solutions in situations of acute indoor air quality issues. We install AprilAire 700 Humidifiers and AprilAire 1210 filters.
What do I need to prepare for a walk through?
Please start by ensuring there’s a clear path to both your electrical panel and current equipment. This ensures our Oak Park HVAC technicians have the space necessary to do their jobs. If you are looking to electrify your property, it doesn’t hurt to have a ComEd energy audit.
What Form of Payment Do You Take?
We may have 11 years of experience, but we work hard to stay up to date. In addition to checks and cash, we also accept most major credit cards. If you’re unsure if the payment method works, give us a call at (708) 381-2318. We’re often willing to work with our clients in River Forest and Oak Park to find options that work for them.
My AC Bills are High. What can I Can Do?
Aside from replacing your air conditioner with a more efficient one, you can try installing blackout curtains, replacing old insulation, and sealing windows. Installing a ceiling or whole-house fans can also help reduce sticker shock. If you live in the Riverside area, we’re happy to provide a home performance evaluation.
What's the Difference Between an AC and a Heat Pump?
There's one main difference between these two pieces of cooling equipment. Unlike AC units, which need a furnace to provide year-round comfort, heat pumps can both heat and cool a home. Note, however, that they sometimes need to be paired with an electric heater in extremely cold weather.
Why Should I Switch to an Electric Heat Pump?
An electric heat pump in Oak Park offers a greener, more efficient alternative to traditional heating systems. When compared to boilers and furnaces, they often get the job done for less. With the potential for lower energy bills and improved indoor air quality, plus financial incentives available, it’s worth considering replacing your furnace with a heat pump. To get a quote on installing one—or to fix your existing Oak Park heat pump—give us a call at (708) 381-2318.
Do you offer Financing options?
Yes we do! We offer affordable financing options through Synchrony Financial for all of your home repair needs. Contact us today for more information.
