What our senior technicians watch for in Durham homes every season.

Older Durham neighborhoods near downtown often have inadequate insulation. AC sizing requires extra care.
Standard fall pre-season inspections recommended. Heat pump tune-ups before mid-November.
Same hard-freeze pattern as Raleigh. Auxiliary heat issues spike during cold snaps.
