• How do I know the best size system for my home?

Poormans will conduct a full energy analysis of your home. There are several things to consider when putting in a new system. We consider window size, ductwork, the age of your home, etc. This helps us to determine the proper size equipment to properly cool your home.

• Do I need to replace my air conditioner and furnace at the same time?

Think of your furnace and your air conditioner as brothers. Theyre apart of a family, and prefer sticking together. Your system will work better and more efficiently if both components match. Mismatched systems have a tendency to diminish performance due to the mixing of new and old technology.

• Whats the difference between a limited warranty and an extended warranty?

A limited warranty is the warranty that goes along with your system when it leaves the factory. It usually only covers your products for a limited amount of time. Extended warranties can often times be purchased at the same time as your system and cover all parts and labor.

• What if my family has allergies?

An electronic air cleaner is several times more effective than a standard throwaway filter in removing allergens from your home. Particles such as pollen, dust, smoke, animal hair prevent your indoor air from being as healthy as it should be. An electronic air cleaner with a washable electronic cell can be up to 99% effective at removing these airborne particles. Ask us about this option today!
