He called to set up a date to look at my house and see how to install the heat pump. He then had a date and installed the heat pump. He was on time, answered all my questions and was very professional. I would hire him again in a minute!!

Tim was very knowledgeable about his product and the installation went perfectly. He showed up reliably when he said he would, and the turnaround time from quote to installation was extremely quick. He then demonstrated the operation and answered all questions. I would highly recommend Tim.

Manny and his crew replaced my ridge cap and installed a ridge vent. The weather prediction was completely wrong and the rain started after they had torn off the old cap. They worked in the rain to finish the job and close everything up. Good work and great service. I would hire them again.

Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts

There aren’t many problems with fire doors except that they slow down or cut off ventilation at the higher rating levels. For this reason, work with a professional to ensure you have adequate ventilation throughout your house or workspace. The sealing around a fire door is meant to allow for a specific amount of ventilation and will need regular inspections to ensure adequate airflow.

According to the National Fire Protection Association’s Code NFPA 25 (titled “Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems”), private fire hydrants must undergo inspection once per year, with an accompanying flow test and any necessary maintenance performed on the same schedule. Keep in mind that your town, city, or county may adopt more or less strict testing requirements.

Yes, it is possible. An electrical fire can break out if the compressor has inadequate ventilation. When it overheats but doesn't have a proper thermal cutout, this can cause the motor to short-circuit and catch fire. This risk is exacerbated if flammable materials, like dust and fallen leaves, are clogging the unit. The compressor overheating won't start a fire by itself, but poor maintenance and installation can increase the risk once it hits its breaking point and short-circuits.

Yes. Not only do gas stoves present the risk of a gas leak, but cooking with gas produces twice as much harmful particulate matter. According to Columbia University’s Climate School, gas stoves can also release formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen, and carbon monoxide, which can be toxic in high concentrations.

Electrical fires are unique from other fire types because they have the potential to deliver electric shocks in addition to being on fire. Avoid serious injury from possible electrical emergency situations by avoiding the use of water, foam-based fire extinguishers, wet-chemical fire extinguishers, flour, or baking powder to put out an electrical fire.
