Many of our customers are surprised to learn how much we rely on an aging energy infrastructure. Here’s what homeowners should know about living on a grid that wasn’t designed for today’s demand patterns.

We’re experiencing unprecedented growth in energy demand driven by the increasing use of electrical technology. Data centers and AI computing add a constant baseline demand (consuming massive amounts of power); the growing use of electric vehicles drives charging spikes; and the increase in products like heat pumps that run harder in low temperatures creates higher demand patterns.

Many customers worry about natural gas being phased out and if they’ll be forced to switch to electric. Here’s what homeowners should know.

Many Pacific Northwest residents want to keep natural gas an option and are concerned about rumors that a natural gas ban is looming on the horizon. The concerns about subsequent higher costs and questionable reliability if we’re forced to switch are valid.

Fortunately, it’s unlikely to go away anytime soon, and limitations also vary by location.

Why more homeowners are turning to generators — not as a luxury, but as a smart investment in comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

When it comes to power outages, what was once an occasional inconvenience has become a more frequent reality for many homeowners. The combination of aging infrastructure, extreme weather, growing energy demand, and an increasingly overtaxed energy grid all contribute to greater strain on the system — and reduced reliability for those of us who depend on it.

Is maintenance really that important, or is it just another way for HVAC companies to make money? Take a look at our breakdown of what actually works — and what doesn’t.

With rising costs, we get why homeowners are questioning the importance of equipment maintenance when budgeting for the year. When it comes to asking if it works, the short answer is, yes. Most suggested maintenance plays a big role in helping your equipment last (and function at peak performance).

Let’s break down the top ways to extend the life of your HVAC and generator equipment and why each one matters.

When you’re comparing HVAC quotes, it’s helpful to remember not all estimates include the same things — even if they look similar at first glance.

Sure, we all like a good deal. But when it comes to HVAC work, a lower price doesn’t always mean you’re saving money. Sometimes it simply means something important has been left out.

If one quote comes in noticeably lower than the rest, it’s worth slowing down and taking a closer look. Not every HVAC estimate is truly all-inclusive, and those missing pieces can show up later as unexpected costs.
