FAQs
What are the most common reasons for uneven airflow or hot-and-cold spots in a Palmer home?
In our climate, uneven temperatures are usually traced to one or more of the following: (1) leaking, crushed, or undersized ductwork; (2) a dirty blower wheel or clogged air filter that restricts airflow; (3) poorly calibrated or aging thermostats; (4) furniture or closed registers blocking supply vents; and (5) equipment that is improperly sized for the square footage of your home. During a service call we inspect each of these areas so we can isolate the exact cause before recommending a solution.
How do your technicians diagnose and correct an uneven heating problem?
We start with an airflow audit that measures supply and return temperatures and static pressure at several points in your duct system. Infrared cameras and flow hoods help us pinpoint losses behind walls, in attics, or crawl spaces. Once we locate the restriction or leak, solutions can include sealing or replacing sections of duct, balancing dampers, cleaning the blower assembly, installing a new filter or thermostat, or, in some cases, adding a zone control panel. We always provide a written estimate and explain every option before any work begins.
Will I need new ductwork or a zoning system, and what does that typically cost?
Not always. About 60 % of the calls we take in Palmer can be resolved with duct sealing, register adjustments, or component cleaning that costs a few hundred dollars. If the problem lies in poorly designed duct runs or a single thermostat trying to control multiple floors, we may recommend a zoning retrofit, which usually ranges from $1,500 to $3,500 depending on the number of zones and dampers required. Full duct replacement is rarer and only suggested when the existing metal or flex duct is beyond repair.
How fast can you get to my home for a heat repair during a cold snap?
We know Palmer winters can be extreme, so we reserve emergency slots every day from October through April. Calls received before noon are almost always handled the same day, and after-hours emergency service is available 24/7. Our trucks are stocked with the most common blower motors, capacitors, filters, and thermostats so we can complete 90 % of repairs on the first visit.
Can regular maintenance really prevent uneven airflow and heating breakdowns?
Yes. A seasonal tune-up includes filter replacement, blower cleaning, belt inspection, thermostat calibration, and duct pressure checks—exactly the items that most often cause uneven temperatures or sudden heat loss. Homeowners enrolled in our Comfort Club plan receive two visits per year, priority scheduling, and a 15 % discount on any parts that need replacement, making proactive maintenance both convenient and cost-effective.
Will fixing airflow issues lower my energy bills, and do you offer financing or rebates?
When your system can deliver air evenly, it cycles less often and runs at its designed efficiency. Customers typically see 10–25 % savings on their monthly gas or electric bill after we balance ducts or add zoning. We partner with local utilities that currently offer rebates up to $300 for duct sealing and $500 for high-efficiency equipment upgrades. For larger projects, we provide same-day financing with low-interest or 12-month no-interest options, so you can start saving energy right away without a large upfront cost.
