You may have heard this bit of advice from someone, possibly an “HVAC contractor” with less than reliable credentials: “Your AC is 10 years old, so it’s time to get a new one.”

Now that it’s officially fall, you’ll start to think about preparing your business to handle the change in the weather and how to help it face the rigors of another harsh winter. One of the first steps we recommend you take is to call us to schedule the most important service for commercial HVAC in Sussex County, DE that we offer: regular maintenance.

You simply can’t afford to have HVAC equipment that isn’t performing at peak levels throughout any season of extreme weather.
