Now is the time for a furnace clean and check from S&S Heating, Cooling and Sheet Metal

By Laura Briedis

Most of us are not ready to turn the page on summer yet, but fall favorites such as football, clambakes and campfires help ease the transition.

It’s what comes after fall, however, that we need to prepare for.

“Because of supply chain issues, if you need a new furnace to keep you warm this winter, the sooner you buy one the better,” says Mark Staron II, who is the second “S” in S&S Heating, Cooling & Sheet Metal, a company his parents, Mark Sr. and Gayle, founded in 1989. “We have two installation crews and three service technicians, so we have the staff to schedule your job in a timely matter, but there may be some equipment delays due to manufacturing lags. However, other equipment is readily available.”

Staying Warm This Winter
“Everyone waits until it gets really cold outside to start thinking about their furnace,” says Mark. “But now is really the best time to shop for one. We help homeowners and business owners make informed purchases by helping them sort through the maze of HVAC equipment on the market.”

In addition to its best-selling Trane line, S&S Heating & Cooling offers Amana. “Amana offers a good warranty that goes above and beyond. The company will replace your entire unit and not just replace the heat exchanger if it cracks,” notes Mark.

With a dedicated staff of certified tune-up technicians, S&S recommends that homeowners get a tune-up every fall and spring.

“This is a thorough two-hour service with a 30-plus item checklist,” Mark explains. “We don’t just look over your unit. We tune, clean, lubricate and make any necessary adjustments to keep it running at peak efficiency.”

S&S also offers a Preferred Customer Maintenance Program that can save customers money by extending equipment life, preventing costly repairs and ensuring the equipment is operating safely.

“It is important to note that many of the manufacturer’s warranties are void if the homeowner does not do regular maintenance,” notes Mark.

Purifying the Air You Breathe
During the pandemic, homeowners and businesses have been paying more attention to indoor air quality.

“Though we have been installing air purifiers for over a decade, this past year we added the newest technology to our offerings—Air Scrubber by Aerus,” says Mark. “Based on NASA technology, it combines UV light waves with a catalytic process to produce scrubber ions and hydro peroxides that destroy contaminants on surfaces and in the air.”

S&S Heating & Cooling technicians can attach the Air Scrubber directly to your HVAC system ductwork above the coils. Easy to install, this air purifier works year-round automatically when you are running your heating unit, air conditioner or fan.

In addition to the Air Scrubber, S&S offers the Trane CleanEffects Air Cleaner, which also reduces contaminants and purifies the air by getting rid of germs, allergens and odors.

S&S Heating & Cooling offers homeowners and business owners a free system audit to show how to monitor, clean, ventilate, dehumidify (or humidify) and improve the efficiency of their HVAC system and protect their health.

“We have an indoor air quality sensor device that analyzes the air going through a house and prints a report to show any issues and recommends solutions,” says Mark. “We help our customers stay healthy and comfortable year-round.”
