Q: Do NATE-certified technicians cost more?

• <div><p>NATE-certified technicians may charge slightly higher service fees compared to non-certified technicians. This is because NATE certification signifies a higher level of expertise and professionalism, often leading to more efficient and effective HVAC repairs and installations. While the upfront cost may be marginally higher, NATE-certified technicians can potentially save you money in the long run by reducing energy consumption, preventing frequent breakdowns, and extending the life span of your HVAC system.

Q: Should you run an ERV system all the time?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a better use of energy (and your money) NOT to run an ERV system all the time. Most experts recommend that you cycle your ERV system on and off throughout the year. However, the recommended advice could change based on your climate, the number of people in your home, the size and style of your home, and your heating and cooling system. Contact a local pro for more specific advice. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect servicing costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on system age, type, labor, and whether part replacements are necessary.</p></div>

We have a contract with them. They came in the spring to check. We just do that. There have been no problems with the checkup. They did install, it has been a few years ago, our new heater. They installed our new air conditioner whenever we got a new air conditioner.

I have been using them for a number of years. Their pricing is competitive with anybody else’s. They charge around $90 for cleaning, but they put that in with the oil that they deliver or any service that they do as we are on a budget plan with them, so everything is combined.
