 R22 REFRIGERANT PHASE OUT
R22 is no longer produced or imported into the United States, but it still exists inside some older HVAC units. If your unit uses R22 and runs out, we still have access to the existing recycled or recovered R22 supply and can service your unit as normal, however the price of R22 has nearly doubled in the last few months and will continue to increase as supplies run out.
Ask us about R22 replacement refrigerants or updating your air conditioner to an environmentally friendly R410-A system.

In these extreme frigid temperatures, we recommend temporarily disabling the night set-back feature of your programmable thermostat (unoccupied setting on commercial stats) by using the HOLD button or by raising your night time temperature setting - especially if you have an older under insulated home or basement.

The location of the HOLD button and its features vary among makes and models. Some models, such as the Honeywell Vision Pro, shown here, have options for temporary or permanent hold durations (must be manually reset by pressing Run Program). 

Lower setback temperatures may cause water pipes to freeze if located in a poorly heated space or wall, plus it may be difficult for marginal heating systems to recover from a set back temperature in extreme outdoor conditions. It should be easy to locate your model's manual online - because who keeps a thermostat manual - but feel free to contact us if you're having trouble with any model thermostat or if you would like to upgrade to a Wi-Fi model capable of remote setting and monitoring.
