Here at A&E Air Conditioning and Heating we are often asked if home warranty plans are a good deal. Invariably, our answer is generally no, but not for the reasons you may think. If there is an instance where it might be appropriate, is if you are on an extremely […]
When we clean our home, we make sure that everything we can see looks good. That can cover everything from vacuuming or mopping the floors, running a duster over easy-to-reach surfaces and on a bright and sunny day, even cleaning the windows. Every so often, we may even go as […]
There are two principal drawbacks to a traditional HVAC unit, though these far outweigh the drawback of not having one at all! First, the ducting can take up quite a lot of space within your home, and not every property, especially if of an older design, makes the installation of […]
