We provide full-service HVAC solutions: installation, repair, and maintenance of air conditioners (central A/C, mini-split, high velocity systems like Unico & SpacePak), gas furnaces, boilers (repair, replacement, and boiler-to-furnace conversions), water heaters (tank & tankless), heat pumps, geothermal systems, ductwork work & sealing, and emergency HVAC repairs.

We recommend an annual inspection for both heating and cooling systems—ideally just before peak seasons (fall for heating, spring for cooling). Regular maintenance improves efficiency, reduces breakdowns, and helps extend system life.

 Some red flags include:

• Uneven heating throughout your home
  
• Rising energy bills with no change in usage
  
• Strange noises (rumbling, banging, or whining)
  
• Frequent cycling (turning on/off more often than usual)
  
• Pilot light or ignition problems
  
• Yellow, flickering, or no flame on gas units
  
• Visible rust, corrosion or leaks on boilers or heat exchangers

• A gas furnace heats air, which is then distributed through ductwork.
  
• A boiler heats water (or steam) to warm space via radiators or in-floor heating.
  
• A heat pump moves heat rather than generating it; many models can both heat and cool efficiently depending on outside conditions. Choosing the right one depends on your home, insulation, climate, and energy-efficiency goals.

Yes. Although high-efficiency furnaces, boilers, and A/C or heat pump units cost more up front, they often provide better long-term savings through lower energy bills, smaller carbon footprint, and sometimes qualify for rebates or incentives. Over time, those savings can offset the higher initial investment.

Good IAQ (indoor air quality) starts with regular maintenance: clean filters, sealed ductwork, proper ventilation. Consider adding air purifiers, humidifiers or dehumidifiers if needed, especially if you have allergies or respiratory concerns. Clean and inspect components like coils, blower fans, and drains to avoid mold and dust build-up.

First, check simple things: thermostat settings, power source or breakers, filters, and vents. If that doesn’t fix it or you smell gas or see water leaking, shut off the system (for safety), and contact a licensed HVAC professional immediately. Holiday Heating offers emergency repair service to restore your comfort quickly.

With proper maintenance, most furnaces and boilers last 15-20 years; air conditioners and heat pumps typically last 10-15 years, depending on usage, climate, and care. Systems that are older, inefficient or requiring many repairs may be more cost-effective to replace.

Generally, filter changes are needed every 1-3 months, depending on: filter quality, whether you have pets or allergies, how often the system runs, and the local air quality. Dirty filters reduce efficiency, strain equipment, and can worsen indoor air quality.
