The most common direct causes of home energy waste due to your HVAC include:

Clogged air filters: When air can't pass through your HVAC unit and ducts, your entire system has to work extra hard to push air.

Dirty evaporator and condenser coils: This can lead to less efficient heat transfer, which can lead to longer system run times and more energy waste.

Low refrigerant charge: Low refrigerant charge can strain your compressor and cool less efficiently.

Faulty thermostats: Older thermostats that need replacing might have inaccurate temperature readings that cause your system to run when it doesn't have to. It can also lead to short cycling where your HVAC system turns on and off quickly without finishing an entire cycle, causing extra wear on your compressor.

Important information from the EPA.

Yesterday, EPA issued a final rule that formally lifts the January 1, 2026, prohibition on installing residential and light commercial R-410A AC and heat pump equipment. That change was the central recommendation of ACCA’s comments.

We are concerned, however, that changes commercial refrigeration deadlines will likely increase refrigerant prices and accelerate a transition to highly-flammable A3 refrigerants. The final rule was also a missed opportunity to provide relief from the January 1, 2027 installation deadline for VRF/VRV equipment.

Unfortunately, New York State regulations exclude New Yorkers from this relief and we're concerned other states will follow suit. We urge Congress to enact federal preemption to avoid a patchwork of state rules and New York contractors can fight back through ACCA’s ACTion Alert.

We always get ask

What makes us different than other companies?
Or Why should we go with Smurf Instead of another company?

Answer to those question is simple, we take pride in our work and we show it.

When installing an air conditioning we like to design a platform for the A/C to sit on to be higher than ground level.

Why you may ask?

For example:
On this install we did last year we notice the old pad was getting damage. We design the platform for when lawnmower comes by it’s not hitting the ac unit or damaging the coil. That way the only part that is getting worn out is the platform.

Little details make a big difference
