  • How does a heat pump work?

    A heat pump works by transferring heat. In the summer, it takes heat from inside your home and transfers it outside. In the winter, heat is grabbed from the outside air and transferred inside. Even if the outside air is only 10 degrees, there’s still heat in that air and a heat pump is designed to capture it!

  • What are the benefits of attic ventilation?

    According to Attics and More, a website dedicated to informing homeowners about changes they can make to their properties, the temperature in your attic can reach 140° Fahrenheit in the summer! Proper ventilation will help move that heat out and give you a cooler attic. A cooler attic will transfer less heat into the house.

  • What's a ductless mini-split system?

    According to Energy Saver, room air conditioners and central air conditioners are the two most common types of AC units.

Instead, it has a wall or ceiling-mounted head that supplies heated and cooled air into the space.

  • How do I know when it’s time for a furnace or AC replacement?

Newer equipment will save you energy and will be covered by Smart Heating and Cooling's 10-year parts and labor warranty.
