What we do
Both ends of the dial
Every job starts with your home's actual heating and cooling load. Then we quote equipment that fits it — nothing oversized, nothing underpowered.
Air conditioning
Central AC and ductless mini-split installs, tune-ups, and refrigerant-safe repairs. Right-sized systems dehumidify properly instead of blasting and stopping — that's where comfort actually comes from.
Quote cooling
Furnaces
High-efficiency gas furnace replacement and repair, combustion safety checks included. If a repair buys your current unit a few more good winters, that's what we'll recommend first.

Sized right beats sized big
Right-sized — a Manual J load calculation puts the needle here.
An oversized system short-cycles, leaves humidity behind, and wears out early. An undersized one never catches up. Our fix is boring and effective:
- Room-by-room load calculation Insulation, windows, ductwork, and orientation — measured, not assumed from square footage alone.
- Options in plain numbers Good, better, and best quotes with operating-cost estimates, so the trade-offs are yours to judge.
- Commissioning, not just installing Airflow, refrigerant charge, and thermostat staging verified before we call the job done.
Cold done hot. Heat done cool.
