GIRARD, Ohio (WKBN) - It may not be balmy and humid just yet, but it'll be here in just weeks. While you may be ready to break out your shorts and take tops as you check off your summer to-do list, don't forget that list should contain a very important part of summer: your air conditioner.
So how important is it to have a heating and cooling company you can depend on right away?
"It's extremely important when you stop and think about seasonal and everything that's going on," said Chris McKernan, owner of Wm. Price Heating and Cooling. "When you turn your system on you want it to work."
When it comes to healing and cooling systems, you also want to make sure you have someone who knows what they're doing. Wm. Price Heating and Cooling is a family-owned third-generation company servicing Mahoning, Trumbull, and Columbiana Counties along with Western Pennsylvania. Experience, communication, and customer satisfaction fall squarely on the shoulders of Price employees when working in a home.
"It's extremely important to have a professional that you trust. Somebody that is licensed. Somebody that is trained to take care of everything you need," said McKernan.
McKernan says a professional from W. Price Heating and Cooling is someone who will come out and inspect your entire system to make sure it is operating at its peak efficiency. Workers with Wm. Price Heating and Cooling have also been in the business for a long time so you'll always get someone who is highly trained with the knowledge you need to make sure all of your systems remain maintained and working properly.
"We have guys that have been here for over 40 years. I've been doing this full-time for 30 years," said McKernan. "The amount of time these technicians have been with us says a lot about the company. And the fact that they want to stay here."
Plus, making sure you have the right system in your home can also save you a lot of money.
"Let's say you installed a brand new air conditioner 15 years ago. It was perfect at that point in time. It was operating at peak efficiency. Those units degrade just like our cars. Just like anything else that we would have. So your existing air conditioner could actually be costing you upwards of 20% more than it did when you put it in," said McKernan.
New systems also have other advantages. McKernan said with Wm. Price Heating and Cooling's Carrier systems, they can be alerted when there is a problem with your system after you connect your system to a WiFi thermostat. With your permission, a technician can go into that system, diagnose the issue, and head over to your home with the right part to fix it.
Wm. Price Heating and Cooling not only services heating and cooling systems but commercial systems too.
