FAQs
Is switching to a ductless air conditioner right for me?
If your architecture makes ducts impossible, a mini-split is the perfect option for full zone control. A mini-split can also improve your air quality if you suffer from allergies. You won’t experience accumulated dust and dander with no ductwork hidden from view.
Why won't my furnace turn on?
Dirty filters can reduce airflow, rendering your furnace useless, but your fuel source might also be responsible. You might have a faulty gas supply if your pilot light has gone out. Blower motors and ignition switches are equally common.
