We've been doing this work in Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Catskill, Hudson, and the surrounding region since 1995.

Common Questions About HVAC in the Hudson Valley
Furnaces typically last 15–20 years, central AC systems 12–15 years, and heat pumps 15–20 years. Boilers are the most durable — 20–30 years with proper maintenance. These lifespans assume annual professional service. Neglected systems often fail significantly earlier.
Standard 1-inch filters should be changed every 1–3 months. Thicker media filters (4–5 inches) typically last 6–12 months. Households with pets, allergies, or construction nearby should change more frequently. A clogged filter is the single most common cause of HVAC service calls.
A heating tune-up includes burner cleaning, combustion analysis, heat exchanger inspection, flue inspection, filter replacement, and thermostat calibration. A cooling tune-up includes coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure check, capacitor and contactor inspection, drain flush, and electrical connection torquing. Both include a written report of findings.
Yes — cold-climate heat pumps are specifically designed for climates like ours. Modern units maintain full heating capacity at 5°F and continue operating efficiently down to -13°F. We recommend cold-climate rated equipment (Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat, Daikin Aurora, etc.) for all Hudson Valley installations.
Banging or clanking usually indicates a loose component — a blower wheel, panel, or refrigerant line. Squealing points to a motor bearing or belt. Hissing can indicate a refrigerant leak. Clicking that doesn't stop often means a relay or contactor is failing. Any unusual noise warrants a service call before it leads to a larger failure.
