Countless homeowners depend upon ducted heating and air conditioning systems in order to keep their homes comfortable all year long. If you are serious about getting the very best from these systems, then you must know for certain that your air ducts themselves are in the best condition possible. There is simply no way in which you can expect your system to operate at peak performance levels otherwise. Of course, the hidden nature of your air ducts means that you can’t really visually inspect them on your own, nor would you really know what to look for. Fortunately, you can always schedule professional duct testing in Fresno, CA with us. Call Donald P. Dick Air Conditioning today to get started.

Monday, December 21st, 2015When you want to live in great comfort in your home, you must look beyond simply maintaining comfortable temperatures therein. Yes, it is important that you are able to heat and cool your home in an effective and reliable manner. Equally important, though, and too often overlooked, is the quality of the air in your home.

There are many potential causes of subpar indoor air quality in Fresno, CA. Read on, and let Donald P. Dick Air Conditioning know if you are interested in resolving IAQ issues in your home.
Benefits of Whole-House HEPA Filtration
Monday, December 7th, 2015We all want to live comfortably in our homes. If you think that maintaining comfortable temperatures throughout your living space is enough to guarantee this, though, think again. You must also maintain high indoor air quality in your home if you hope to live in the level of comfort that we know you deserve. While there is an air filter in your HVAC system, of course, this air filter is in no way sufficient to ensure that your indoor air quality remains at a high level. Instead, it serves to protect the operating condition of your HVAC system itself. If you are serious about cleaning up the air in your home, consider whole-house HEPA filtration in Clovis, CA. Contact Donald P. Dick Air Conditioning to have your HEPA filtration system installed by an expert.
