How we assess and select the right system

Selecting the right HVAC equipment starts with a thorough assessment tailored to Richfield conditions:

• On-site evaluation: Inspect the building envelope, insulation, duct layout, and existing equipment condition.  
• Load calculation: Use industry-standard Manual J sizing to determine heating and cooling loads so systems are neither undersized nor oversized.  
• Equipment selection: Recommend models based on efficiency ratings (SEER, HSPF, AFUE), reliability in cold climates, and compatibility with existing ductwork and controls.  
• Options review: Present retrofit alternatives, zoning, and hybrid systems (heat pump plus furnace) that optimize performance and operating cost through the seasons.  
• Testing and commissioning: After installation, systems are balanced, calibrated, and tested to ensure they reach rated performance and provide expected comfort.

Installation and retrofit process

A professional installation minimizes downtime and maximizes equipment life:

1. Pre-install planning and parts ordering based on the assessment.  
2. Safe removal of old equipment and careful protection of the home during installation.  
3. Precision installation of new equipment, duct connections, refrigerant lines, and controls.  
4. System charging, balancing, and full performance testing.  
5. Homeowner orientation, including thermostat programming and basic maintenance tips.  
6. Documentation of warranties and recommended maintenance schedule.

Permits and local code compliance are handled as part of the installation process, ensuring the system meets Richfield and Wisconsin regulations.

Preventative maintenance plans

Regular maintenance extends equipment life and reduces the chance of mid-season failures:

• Recommended cadence: Annual heating tune-up before winter and an annual cooling tune-up before summer; biannual visits for high-use homes or homes with complex systems.  
• Typical tasks: Filter changes, coil cleaning, safety checks, combustion analysis on gas systems, thermostat calibration, and refrigerant level checks.  
• Benefits: Lower energy bills, fewer emergency repairs, extended equipment lifespan, and improved indoor air quality.  
• Maintenance agreements generally include priority service scheduling, seasonal reminders, and detailed service records.

Emergency repair and response

HVAC failures can be urgent in Richfield winters and humid summers. Emergency service focuses on fast diagnostics and safe restoration of operation:

• Rapid triage: Remote guidance to stabilize the situation if possible, followed by on-site diagnostic work.  
• Response expectations: Priority emergency support with same-day or next-day responses depending on call volume and time of day.  
• Transparent repairs: Clear explanation of causes, repair options, expected outcomes, and any parts or labor warranty coverage.

Technicians carry common replacement parts and diagnostic tools to resolve most issues on the first visit when possible.

Heat pumps and ductless mini-splits for Richfield

Cold-climate heat pump technology has advanced, making heat pumps a viable and efficient option in Wisconsin. Benefits include:

• Year-round efficiency: Modern heat pumps provide heating and cooling with fewer emissions and competitive operating costs.  
• Dual-fuel options: Pairing a heat pump with a furnace gives efficient heat in mild weather and reliable backup during extreme cold.  
• Ductless flexibility: Mini-splits are ideal for additions, garages, or historic homes without existing ductwork, offering zoned comfort without major renovations.

Local utility rebates and state incentives often make upgrades more affordable; equipment selection takes available incentives into account.
