It’s easy to take the wiring that serves your home’s electrical system for granted since you can’t see most of it. (This also applies to the ventilation system.) Unfortunately, this often makes it easy to ignore trouble with the wiring for far too long. Below are some common indications that your household wiring needs repair work.

What You Need to Know about the R-22 Freon Phaseout
Monday, August 1st, 2016
Chemical refrigerant (also known by the brand name Freon) is the lifeblood of your air conditioning system: it’s the fluid that allows for the transfers of heat from the inside of your home to the outside. But refrigerant isn’t a single type of chemical blend. Over the more than a century that electro-mechanical air conditioners have been around, many different chemical blends have served as refrigerant. A blend called R-22 was the most common refrigerant in residential ACs for many decades. However, R-22 will not be around much longer, and this may have an effect on your home’s air conditioning.

We have some of the best technicians in the industry on our staff, and knowing that they’re out there making a difference for customers is a great reward in itself.
But receiving awards like the one the Sherman Oaks Chamber of Commerce has given us… well, we don’t mind those kinds of compliments either!
