Traditional thermostats simply respond to your input—they heat or cool your home to the temperature you set, without considering the bigger picture. A smart thermostat, on the other hand, gathers real-time data like your schedule, occupancy patterns, and local weather conditions. It uses this information to make smarter, more efficient decisions—automatically adjusting temperatures for maximum comfort and minimal energy use.

As the weather shifts, so do the needs of your HVAC system. When the summer heat arrives, you'll want to be prepared for it, and now is the perfect opportunity to start checking things off your maintenance checklist. Maintenance is critical to extend your equipment's life, save on energy bills, and avoid surprise repairs. However, if you're unsure where to start or what to prioritize, you might feel daunted by the necessary upkeep.

All heat pumps are exceptionally efficient and excellent for the environment, however, thanks to their unique technology, geothermal heat pumps are considered the most eco-friendly HVAC system on the market. Unlike most heat pumps that rely on air to heat and cool, geothermal heat pumps harness the constant temperature of the Earth's crust. By tapping into the Earth’s heat, these systems efficiently warm buildings before returning the excess heat back to nature during its cooling cycles.
