Most associations control where the condenser sits, what it sits on and sometimes the screening around it, and many want approval before the old unit comes out. Send us the rules or put us in touch with the manager. We match the new condenser's footprint and line-set path to what's allowed and can supply the equipment specs a board usually asks to see.

Yes. A whole-home humidifier mounts on the furnace ductwork and adds moisture while the furnace runs. In a Minnesota winter the target drops as it gets colder outside, roughly 25 to 35 percent in ordinary cold and lower in a deep freeze, or the windows will sweat and frost. We install a control with an outdoor sensor so it adjusts on its own instead of relying on you to turn a dial.

Often. Split-levels usually have short trunk lines in the basement ceiling feeding each level, so motorized dampers can go in where the branches leave the trunk, out of sight. The upper bedrooms and the lowest level then get their own thermostats. The limit is return air: many split-levels have one or two returns for the whole house, and zoning works poorly until that is fixed. We check both before quoting.

In summer it's almost always the air conditioner. The indoor coil sits on the furnace and drains water all day; if the drain line clogs with algae or the condensate pump fails, it overflows. Uninsulated supply ducts in a damp basement can also sweat and drip onto the floor. Check the drain and the pump first, then the ducts. A float switch that shuts the AC off before an overflow is a small add-on.
