    "I don't know what I do without this company!"
    Chaz did an amazing job - straightforward and very helpful. Jason and Trey set up the furnace a week ago, and it runs amazingly! It's nice to stay warm again. They just repaired and replaced my bathroom exhaust fan, too. Thank you again!
    - Cesily W.
    "Custom Engineering took care of us right away!"
    Our initial call was after hours and not an emergency. We received a call first thing the next morning, and they came out within a few hours. Both gentlemen were very professional and knowledgeable, and were able to repair our furnace right then and there.
    - Reid K.
    "They have been an excellent company to work with."
    Always courteous & competent. They installed a new furnace, AC, garage gas heater, and ran a gas line into our laundry room. They stayed on the job until all was completed and we were extremely satisfied.

    "10/10 Service!"
    Had Customer Engineering come out to my restaurant to diagnose my furnace and walk-in freezer. Brandon and Skylar, the techs, were amazing. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I will be using them for all my HVAC needs moving forward.

    We bought our kitchen hood system from them, which they also installed (no small task). They are dependable, efficient, and do great work. Prices are what I would expect for the job. Don't hesitate to hire them.

Common Answers To Your Questions

  • Is Freon as a refrigerant being discontinued?
    Yes. As of January 2010, the refrigerant R-22 (what consumers call Freon®) is no longer allowed to be used in manufacturing new equipment. R-22 has been used as the "standard" refrigerant for many years but has been found to be harmful to our planet by our government. All new air conditioners and heat pumps use R-410A, the more "environmentally sound" refrigerant.

    R-22 is still the most commonly used refrigerant in existing air conditioning equipment in residential homes today. However, per the Montreal Protocol, caps have been established to eliminate the production of R-22. In 2004, there was a 35% reduction; in 2010, there was a 65% reduction; in 2015, a 90% reduction; and finally, in 2020 a 99.5% reduction in the production of R-22. This means that during the time of these reductions with high demand, the price of each pound of R-22 refrigerant could potentially skyrocket.

    If you are considering replacing your existing air conditioning equipment, most higher efficiency products have already switched to R-410A, the more "environmentally sound" refrigerant.
  • What if I smell gas?
    Propane (LP) gas: You have this type if your gas comes from a tank located outside close to your house. Propane is stored as a liquid under pressure in tanks and cylinders. In most residential applications, propane is used as a vapor. When liquid propane changes into a gas vapor, it expands in volume. This means that even a small leak of liquid propane can result in a much larger quantity of propane vapor, which can be especially dangerous in a confined space. A chemical odorant has been added to propane to give it a distinct smell. Learn to identify this odor. Propane gas is heavier than air, so it will sink to the floor and spread. To check for the presence of propane, carefully smell all over a room, especially in low spots.
    If you smell propane (LP) gas:
    • Exit your home immediately.
    • Propane gas can ignite easily. Do not light a match, start an engine, use a cell phone, or do anything that may create a spark.
    • From a safe area, contact your propane supplier and call 911.
    • If you can, shut the propane gas supply off at the tank.
    • Stay away from your home until you've been told that it is safe to return.

    Natural gas: You have this type if you have a gas meter and pay a natural gas supplier or utility. A chemical odorant has been added to natural gas to give it a distinct smell. Learn to identify this odor.
    If you smell natural gas:
    • Exit your home immediately.
    • Do not light a match, start an engine, use a cell phone, or do anything that may create a spark.
    • From a safe area, contact your gas company or call 911.
    • If you are able, turn the gas off at the meter.
    • Stay away from your home until you've been told that it is safe to return
  • How can I reduce allergens and improve the air quality in my home?
    With a high-efficiency air cleaner, you can remove up to 99% of the pollen and spores that find their way into the home. There is also a great reduction in household dust, dirt, smoke, and other air pollutants. Your indoor air will become cleaner and fresher while reducing the allergens and dust circulating throughout the house. With a whole-house humidifier, you can relieve the irritating discomfort of dry indoor air. The humidifier reduces itchy skin, scratchy throats, static electricity, and damage to your furnishings and woodwork. Since humid air feels warmer than dry air, you do not have to set the thermostat as high to feel the comfort you want. A lower thermostat setting will reduce the costs of your energy bill.
  • My air conditioner is very loud when I entertain outside, what can I do?
    A difference of 6 decibels (such as between 72 dB and 78 dB) is technically a four-fold increase in compressor sound when rating air conditioners or heat pump units. However, it takes a difference of 10 decibels to double the loudness. It is also noted that it takes approximately 3 decibels for the average human ear to discern any loudness difference.

    Great strides have been made in reducing the operating sound level of equipment. We will be happy to show you the difference in sound ratings with our product line.
