The Preferred Guide to Choosing an HVAC Contractor

Monday, October 21st, 2024

Choosing a contractor for your next HVAC job in the 21st century is both easier and harder in many respects. It’s harder because our HVAC systems are more complicated and more expensive, with many of our customers being on tighter budgets. This causes more to be on the line with every decision you make.

Preferred Mechanical’s Guide to Your Air Filter: How to Change It

Monday, May 20th, 2024

One of the first things we talk to new air conditioner owners about is the air filter. We can set up an entire air conditioner, size it, measure it, install it, and get it running right on that first appointment. But we won’t be able to know when the air filter is dirty and needs to be changed out.
