A whole-system look at how your heating and cooling actually run — equipment, controls, airflow and runtime — with findings in writing.
The system still heats and cools, so there is no fault to report — the question is whether it is working harder than it should.
A winter-only or summer-only change narrows the question to one side of the system and is worth measuring before replacing anything.
Longer runtime for the same comfort can reflect equipment condition, airflow restriction, control settings or changes in the house.
Compensating for one cold or warm room by moving the setpoint raises runtime everywhere in the house.
Measured condition and runtime give the replace-or-keep conversation something concrete underneath it.
Load changes and control changes both show up on the bill, and they are addressed differently.
A rising bill rarely points at a single part. Electric and gas rates change, weather changes, the house changes, and the heating and cooling systems age at different speeds. This assessment looks at the HVAC system as a whole rather than at one appliance — the furnace or boiler, the air conditioner or heat pump, the thermostat and controls, the distribution and the airflow that ties them together. You get written findings and a prioritised list of options. This is an HVAC assessment, not a whole-house energy audit: it covers the equipment, controls and distribution, not blower-door testing or an energy rating. If the symptom is clearly one system, the focused pages may suit you better: high AC bills, high furnace bills or high boiler bills. Serving Nassau County.
From call to comfort in 6 easy steps
Before the visit, gather recent utility bills covering both a heating and a cooling season if you have them. We compare consumption — therms, gallons or kWh — across similar periods rather than comparing dollar totals, because rate and billing-day changes move cost on their own.
We go through comfort by room, thermostat habits, schedule changes, occupancy, renovations and anything that changed around the time the bills did. Most assessments narrow considerably at this step.
The furnace, boiler or heat pump is checked for operating sequence, condition and the readings appropriate to its fuel and type, including combustion analysis where the equipment supports it.
The air conditioner or heat pump is checked for operation, temperature change across the coil, coil and filter condition, and outdoor unit behaviour.
Airflow is checked at the equipment and at the rooms, along with accessible ductwork or piping, insulation, and obvious leakage at connections. This is where whole-house symptoms most often originate.
You receive what was measured, what it indicates, what remains undetermined, and options ranked by cost. Anything we recommend is quoted in writing before it is scheduled.
Refrigerant-handling certification held by the technicians who do the work.
Heating and cooling assessed together, so a seasonal pattern is not missed.
Airflow, temperature change and runtime are taken on the day rather than inferred from equipment age.
What was observed, what it indicates and what is still undetermined — so any later quote can be checked against it.
A filter, airflow or control problem is presented as that, not folded into a replacement proposal.
A utility bill moves with rates, weather and the building as well as the equipment, so we quote findings rather than a reduction.
The $199 residential visit comes off an approved repair if the assessment identifies one.
Dispatched from Jericho, working on the housing stock and systems common across the county.
No fees. No surprises. Just honest service.
Single-family home, one heating system and one cooling system, with written findings.
Light commercial property with supported equipment. See also [commercial heating](/commercial-heating) and [commercial cooling](/commercial-air-conditioning).
Multiple zones, multiple systems or an unusually large property — scoped and quoted before scheduling.
No utility saving is promised. A bill reflects rates, weather, occupancy, appliances and the building envelope as well as the HVAC equipment, and any change after work depends on which of those actually moved. This is an HVAC assessment, not a certified home energy audit — it does not include blower-door testing, envelope thermal imaging or an energy rating, and it does not produce a score used for rebates that require one.
