HVAC and Plumbing Services Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How often should I have my HVAC system inspected?
We recommend having your HVAC system professionally inspected at least twice a year, ideally before summer and winter. These checkups help catch small issues early, improve system efficiency, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
What is the benefit of upgrading to a modern AC or heating system?
Upgrading to newer AC or heating systems improves energy efficiency, provides quieter operation, and maintains consistent temperature control. Modern systems also reduce utility costs and lower the risk of frequent repairs common with older units.
What is the advantage of installing water sensors with my water heater?
We recommend installing water sensors, as they detect leaks early and help prevent costly water damage or flooding. They alert homeowners promptly, giving peace of mind and minimizing potential property issues.
How long does a typical plumbing repair take?
Most minor plumbing repairs can be completed in a few hours, depending on complexity. Larger projects, such as replacing pipes or installing new fixtures, may take longer but are scheduled to minimize disruption.

December 23, 2025 | Mechanicsburg, PA

After evaluating the home’s plumbing system and hot water usage, we recommended a water heater replacement along with a new water softener system to improve performance, efficiency, and water quality.

Our team safely shut off the water supply, drained and removed the old water heater, and upgraded the plumbing connections. We installed a new 50-gallon Rheem power-vent water heater, along with a new expansion tank, new shutoff valves on both the hot and cold water lines, and a mixing valve to ensure safe and consistent water temperatures throughout the home. The venting was also updated by replacing a section of the existing PVC venting to meet current installation standards.

Once installed, the system was filled, powered on, and thoroughly tested. All gas and water connections were checked to confirm leak-free operation and proper performance.

To address the homeowner’s water quality concerns, we installed a Lancaster whole-home water softener, including a new brine tank and discharge line. The system was initially bypassed until startup could be completed. On a return visit, our technicians completed the softener startup process, ensuring the system was operating correctly.

During this visit, we also identified a dripping shutoff valve serving the dehumidifier. To prevent future issues, we proactively replaced it with a new angle stop valve and verified there were no leaks.

The homeowner now benefits from:

  • Reliable, consistent hot water for the entire family

  • Improved energy efficiency and system safety

  • Softer, better-quality water throughout the home

  • Updated plumbing components and peace of mind


October 30, 2024 | Mechanicsburg, PA

After a thorough evaluation, our team determined that the home’s existing heating and cooling system—originally installed in 2006—was no longer operating safely or efficiently due to a cracked heat exchanger. To improve comfort, efficiency, indoor air quality, and long-term reliability, we provided a complete HVAC system upgrade tailored to the homeowners’ needs.

We safely removed and disposed of the old equipment and installed a high-efficiency American Standard dual-fuel heating and cooling system, featuring a 97% efficient two-stage gas furnace and a variable-capacity air conditioner rated up to 18 SEER2. This advanced system delivers consistent temperatures, quieter operation, and reduced energy costs by adjusting output based on the home’s demand rather than constantly cycling on and off.

To address comfort issues on the second floor, we added HVAC zoning, separating the first and second floors. This allows each level of the home to be controlled independently, improving comfort during hot summer months and cold winter days.

Indoor air quality was also a priority. We installed a whole-home Aprilaire MERV 16 air filtration system to capture allergens, dust, and airborne particles, along with a fresh air ventilation system to bring in clean, filtered outdoor air for a healthier indoor environment.

The installation included custom duct transitions, upgraded filtration, new refrigerant lines, electrical and gas connections, proper drainage, and a new smart Wi-Fi thermostat—ensuring the system was installed correctly, safely, and built to last.

The homeowners now enjoy:

  • Improved whole-home comfort year-round

  • Better temperature control between floors

  • Cleaner, healthier indoor air

  • Increased energy efficiency and system reliability

  • Long-term peace of mind with strong manufacturer and labor warranties

This solution delivers a modern, energy-efficient HVAC system designed to meet the home’s comfort needs today while preparing it for the future.
