The best time to to service your HVAC system is the start of each heating and cooling season. Your A.C unit should have a maintenance performed at the end of winter or the beginning of spring. Furnaces or heat pumps should have its regular maintenance performed at the end of summer or beginning of fall.

Having a programmable thermostat installed in your home will help you control how much energy you use for heating or cooling. This will help save money on energy cost and utility bills if used effectively. 

A ductless mini-split system provides an alternative to the traditional heating and cooling systems like centralized air. There's similarities between the two, with the exception that it doesn’t require ductwork. The mini-split system has an indoor and outdoor unit, but it will require a small hole to be cut through the exterior wall, big enough for a tube of refrigerant to pass through. On the inside, the air will be conditioned and returned into the room by the same unit.
