- How do I choose the right type & size system?
  
  Selecting the right make and model system, as well as the right size, is incredibly important. A system which is too small won't be able to heat or cool your home properly and a too large system will waste energy. Additionally, we realize that your needs and demands are unique, which is why we can help you find the right unit for your home.
- How often should my system be maintained?
  
  While every system is slightly different and may have its own manufacturer requirements, we recommend having system maintenance performed at least once a year. This allows us to ensure everything is working properly, especially before temperatures spike.
- My system is making noises - what should I do?
  
  There are many types of signs that an HVAC system isn't operating at peak capacity. Strange noises, including rattling, is one sign that your system may need to be repaired by a professional Portland HVAC technician. The best course of action that you can take is to have your system inspected so that we can help get it back in optimal condition.
- Why isn't my system turning on?
  
  It is possible that your thermostat isn't working properly or that your circuit breaker has been tripped, cutting off the power to your system. It is difficult to tell why your system is having trouble turning on without inspecting it. In order to figure out the cause of the problem, we will need to fully inspect and diagnose your system.
- How can I save on my energy bills?
  
  There are several steps you can take to save on your energy bills. For one, investing in preventative maintenance can reduce your expenses significantly. Additionally, if your system is 10-15 years old, replacing it with a more efficient system can help eliminate wasted energy.
