FAQs
Why does it smell bad when my heat comes on?
Several problems could be causing a bad smell when you run your heat. But the most common issue is a buildup of dust that had time to collect throughout the year while the furnace was not in use.
Are geothermal HVAC systems good for Indiana homes?
Yes! These systems use the Earth’s temperature to heat or cool your home, and our area has temperate land. They’re an excellent energy-efficient option for this climate.
