Five services. Every one threaded through the standard.

Install, repair, maintenance, indoor air quality, and heat-pump conversion — same Manual J load calc, same 90-minute response, same documented package. See the standard →

S-01INSTALL

Install

Spec · Item 003.01[Manual J every job·10-yr parts·5-yr labor·documented package]

We replace and install central AC, gas furnaces, air handlers, and full system swaps. Every install opens with a Manual J load calc — your house, not the last one we did — and closes with a documented package: model and serial, refrigerant charge, static-pressure readings, install photos.

Size your system
FAQ · 2 questions

  1. Do I really need a Manual J? My old contractor just used a 1 ton per 600 sqft rule.

    That rule oversizes by 30-50% in most Treasure Valley homes. Oversized equipment short-cycles, doesn’t dehumidify properly, and dies 3-5 years sooner than properly sized equipment. Manual J takes us 45 minutes during the consult. Your install lasts a decade longer for the trouble.

  2. How long does a typical install take?

    A like-for-like AC swap on a single-stage system runs 6-8 hours; a full furnace + AC replacement runs 1-2 days; a heat-pump conversion with new line-sets and electrical work runs 2-3 days. We staff every install with two techs — lead + apprentice — and pull permits before we show up.

S-02REPAIR

Repair

Spec · Item 003.02[≤ 90-min ETA·24/7 dispatch·single-trip stocked·no-call-center]

When the system fails on a 102° afternoon or a -10° morning, we commit to a 90-minute on-site target across the Treasure Valley. Our trucks stock the 30 highest-failure parts — capacitors, contactors, blower motors, ignitors, ECM modules — so most calls close on a single trip.

Diagnostic walkthrough
FAQ · 1 question

  1. What counts as an emergency vs. a same-week repair?

    No-heat below 50° outside, no-cool above 90° outside, refrigerant leak, gas smell, water leaking through a ceiling — emergency, dispatch within 90 minutes. Intermittent cycling, weak airflow, thermostat oddities — same-week. Either way you get a tech name, a truck number, and a real ETA, not a four-hour window.

S-03MAINTENANCE

Maintenance

Spec · Item 003.03[2× yearly visits·static pressure logged·refrigerant verified·filter program]

Twice-yearly tune-ups (cooling in spring, heating in fall) — not the 20-minute filter swap most contractors call maintenance. Static pressure measured and logged, refrigerant superheat / subcool verified against spec, blower amp draw recorded. Drift over time is how you catch failures before they happen.

Map your comfort issues
FAQ · 1 question

  1. Is a maintenance contract worth it on a 4-year-old system?

    Honestly — for a 4-year-old system in good shape, twice-yearly tune-ups out-of-pocket cost about the same as our annual contract. The contract starts paying off when equipment hits year 7+ and the labor coverage on repair calls (-15%) and the priority dispatch (front of queue) start mattering more than the tune-up itself.

S-04INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Indoor air quality

Spec · Item 003.04[MERV 8 → MERV 16·whole-home dehumid.·ERV / HRV ventilation·UV / PCO options]

Filtration above MERV 8, whole-home dehumidification for shoulder-season humidity, and energy- or heat-recovery ventilators for tight modern envelopes. We measure air changes per hour and verify static pressure before recommending a filter upgrade — high-MERV filters in the wrong duct system starve the blower and shorten equipment life.

FAQ · 1 question

  1. Will a HEPA-style high-MERV filter ruin my furnace?

    It can — if your duct system was sized for a MERV 8 cabinet filter, dropping in a MERV 16 will increase static pressure beyond what the blower is rated for. Symptoms are reduced airflow, longer cycles, and accelerated blower wear. We measure first, recommend an upgrade path that the duct system actually supports.

S-05HEAT PUMP CONVERSION

Heat pump conversion

Spec · Item 003.05[Cold-climate rated·Up to 22 SEER2·IRA-eligible·zoned options]

We replace gas furnaces with cold-climate heat pumps that hold capacity through Treasure Valley winters down to -5°F, with a backup heat strip or dual-fuel furnace for the rare deep-cold day. Sized for your house with Manual J, not your neighbor’s. Federal IRA + Idaho Power rebates typically cover $2,000-$8,000 of the project.

Estimate your rebate
FAQ · 2 questions

  1. Do heat pumps actually work in Idaho winters?

    Cold-climate models from Mitsubishi, Trane, and Carrier hold rated capacity to -5°F and continue operating (with derated output) to -15°F. Treasure Valley sees -5° maybe 2-3 days a year; a backup heat strip or dual-fuel furnace covers the edge cases. Most of our heat-pump conversions run 100% on the heat pump for 95%+ of the heating season.

  2. What rebates am I actually eligible for?

    Federal IRA 25C credit covers 30% of the equipment + install up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps. Idaho Power offers $300-$1,500 depending on the model and your existing system. The HEEHRA program (income-tier-based) can stack another $4,000-$8,000 if you qualify. The rebate calculator runs the actual numbers for your ZIP and AMI tier.
