Book Inspection

Terms and Conditions

Install Care covers only the listed checks for the specific unit we installed. One complimentary visit per calendar year per eligible unit. Appointment required. If the unit needs other work, repairs, refrigerant, parts, additional filters beyond the one included with a furnace visit, or service on equipment we did not install, that work is billed separately (service charge, parts, and materials as applicable). Covers every furnace, AC, water heater, boiler and generator we’ve installed since January 1, 2026, and every one we install going forward, for the life of that unit while it stays in the home. The free yearly generator inspection covers a fluids check (oil and coolant levels), a battery test with terminal cleaning, a transfer switch test, a controller/firmware update and error log check, and a gas line and connection leak check. Not a membership, warranty, or insurance product. Subject to scheduling availability.

Whole Home Generators

When the Neighborhood Goes Dark, Your Home Doesn’t.

That is the convenience. No extension cords. No hotel. No thawing a freezer on the lawn. The generator starts when the grid dies and your home keeps living like it is a normal night.
