Mountain Air Conditioning & Heating

Keeping You Warm

Mountain-Air-Van smaller If you ever get up on a winter day and the temperature in your home is 54°, this is definitely “the truck” you want to have sitting in your drive.

Absolute professionalism with installation and taking care of your customer’s comfort. In this case, providing space heaters for warmth.

I want to thank you and your crew for the excellent job you did when installing my steam humidifier. You went beyond this service, and again with the installation of my new furnace. (not exactly what I had in mind for this year’s Christmas present to myself – but worth every penny!)

Thank you so much.

Elise B.

Thanks, Elise, for your kind words. We love it when our customers are happy! Our goal is to leave our customers with a warm feeling that doesn’t just come from a new furnace!

A Dirty Little Secret About Your Furnace and Air Conditioner.

You may not know it, but simply keeping your furnace and air conditioner clean can help reduce heating and cooling costs. Here’s the dirt on cleaning up your act:

“Nine out of 10 system failures are caused by dirt and dust.” (LCES) Louisiana Cooperative Extensions Service.

“A build-up of .042 inches of dirt on heating or cooling coils can result in a decrease in efficiency of 21%.” (EPA) Environmental Protection Agency.

“Clean systems restore capacity and lessen running time.” (LCES) Louisiana Cooperative Extensions Service.

“Most commercially purchased fiberglass filters are only 7% efficient in stopping dirt, dust, pollen, etc. from passing through it.” (ASHRAE) American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.

There are two coils in the system; an indoor coil (sits over the furnace in the ductwork – you can’t see it) and an outdoor coil. To keep your coils clean, call a professional technician for a tune-up at least once a year for each system.
