The Washington metro area has some of the hottest summers in the country and Washingtonians know all too well how much it costs to keep cool during these scorching months. With air conditioning units that are up to 20% more efficient than older models, Washingtonians can enjoy lower cooling bills year-round while helping reduce energy use and our reliance on fossil fuels.
But you shouldn’t wait for summertime heat waves before upgrading their system – now’s the time! Need another reason to upgrade? You can save money by doing it.
Washington, D.C. offers a number of tax credits and rebates for energy-efficient appliances, including air conditioners. These incentives make it more affordable than ever to ditch your old, inefficient unit in favor of a high-efficiency model.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are almost necessary for the workplace and at home. They help ensure proper circulation of clean air, provide just the right temperatures for individuals to stay comfortable, and can equally ensure you get that hot bath when you need to relax.
Boilers are some of the oldest and most reliable heating systems in the world.

If you’ve been following our blog for the last few weeks, you might notice a trend. We’re taking a big step to be proactive heading into 2021, and with each blog post, we’re deciding to focus on heater maintenance. Welcome to January, heater maintenance month!
You’d be surprised by how many homeowners opt-out of heater maintenance. Whether it’s because they think it’s unnecessary, think it’s a scam, or don’t even know what heater maintenance is, this is a bad move.
