No obligation · nothing starts before you have a written price
The price is the price
Written before anything is opened, and fixed from that moment. Extra work is a separate item you approve or decline.
Evidence, not assurances
Photographs of what was found and what was done, sent the same day, yours to show anyone.
Measured, not guessed
Airflow, static pressure, capacitor values and compressor amps are measured — refrigerant is checked last, not first.
Built for the coast
Stainless caps and breathable coatings, and coil and cabinet corrosion checked, because salt air eats galvanized steel.

From $169See details →Straight Answers, Not a Sales Script
Chimneys, ducts, dryer vents and the inside of a furnace or a condenser are all hidden systems, and almost nobody has a way to judge what a contractor tells them about any of them. So we make it checkable. Every finding is photographed, every price is written down before the work starts, and the things that can be measured — airflow, static pressure, capacitor values, compressor amps, dryer vent airflow, carbon monoxide in the supply air — are measured and written down for you to keep.
The other half of that is telling people what not to buy. A recently serviced duct system does not need cleaning. Fine surface cracking in a sound flue is not a relining job. An air conditioner that will not cool is far more often an airflow or electrical fault than a refrigerant one. Recommending the smaller job — or none at all — costs us an invoice today and is the entire reason this phone keeps ringing.
Specified for salt air
Stainless rather than galvanized on anything that lives on a roof, vapour-permeable masonry treatments rather than film sealers, and coil corrosion checked on every coastal visit.
Refrigerant last, not first
Airflow, electrical values and coil condition are checked before anyone talks about a charge, because that is where the fault usually is.
Permitted and verified
Changeouts are pulled under permit with Title 24 HERS verification, listed as its own line on the quote rather than hidden in it.
One number for the whole house
Chimney, fireplace, ducts, dryer vent, furnace and air conditioning — one phone call instead of three trades.
From Phone Call to Finished Job
Tell us what the house is doing
Not what you think is broken — what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. You get a price range on the phone and a window, usually within a day or two.
We measure before we quote
Readings taken, photographs of anything relevant, then a written price. Nothing is opened, replaced or cleaned before you have that price in hand.
The work gets done properly
Protection down, the method the standard calls for, the right material rather than the quick one, and the site left clean.
You keep the evidence
Before and after readings, the photo set the same day, and an honest note about anything that will want attention later — or confirmation that nothing does.
