Frenchtown

Air Conditioning

When temperatures rise here in Montana you expect the air conditioning to keep your home cool and comfortable throughout the summer. A good air conditioner not only cools your home, but reduces humidity, filters the air, and does it all without giving you a sky-high electricity bill.

Keeping an air conditioner unit working at its peak during the hottest months means changing filters, checking refrigerant, and making repairs fast. But with our busy lives, who has time for that?

That is why you need a team of experts working with you to ensure your air conditioning remains in tip-top shape for years to come. With one of our affordable heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) maintenance agreement plans, you do not have to wonder if the filters have been changed or if the parts are wearing out. The only thing you need to think about is how nice and cool your Frenchtown home will feel when you walk in the front door.

Ductless Systems

There are some rooms in your Frenchtown home that are never comfortable. Maybe it is the playroom at the end of the hall or the sunroom with all the big windows. No matter how you adjust the thermostat, it just never feels right. You might think adding a new air conditioning unit just for that room is too expensive or disruptive.

In most cases, you might be right, but a ductless system , sometimes called a mini split system, lets you add a dedicated unit to one room without the expense and disruption of ducted systems.

A ductless mini split surface mounts on the wall without the need for ductwork and vents cut into the walls. The wall-mounted unit blows warm or cool air into the room and draws it back in through one piece of equipment. The outdoor condensing unit is small and works quietly sitting outside the house.

Almost everyone in Montana has a room that could feel better with its own ductless unit. Our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) team at Design Air can help, so call us at 406-251-7997. We can estimate what ductless system is right for you. Request ductless system service online today.


Furnaces

If you have an older home in Montana each winter, you probably deal with high utility bills, inconsistent heating, and cold rooms.

Heater repair can be expensive, and selecting a new furnace can be difficult especially if you do not know or trust the contractor.

Gas Fireplaces

Residential fireplaces are a great option for you if you love the look, feel, and ambience of flickering flames, yet you value freedom from the mess that a traditional wood fireplace gives you with on a semi-regular basis.

Just like a traditional fireplace, gas fireplaces are a great way to add heat to your living spaces in Montana. They can be installed in your Frenchtown home with very few requirements. All you need is a small amount of wiring, a gas line, and a small metal chimney.

Three main categories of gas fireplaces exist on the residential market. These are log sets, inserts, and built-ins. The use of any one of these three methods is highly dependent on your home setup. Do you have an existing fireplace? Gas or wood? Electric? That will influence your options as will how you want your space to look.

Of special note to consider when you are looking at your gas fireplace options is what your venting options will be. Be sure to keep this in mind as you move forward. Speak with one of our experts about what will work best in your home and particular setup.

Heat Pumps

The most common residential heating and cooling units installed in Montana are heat pumps. Heat pumps are popular because they are easy to install, simple to operate, and are very efficient especially in the winter when the heat pump works without gas, oil, or electric strip heat.

Heat pumps have made tremendous advances in recent years. Engineers have introduced mini split heat pumps that are small enough to cool one room and operate at high efficiencies. The best heat pumps on the market provide low-cost heating and cooling to Frenchtown modern homes and small offices. All heat pumps, no matter how new or advanced, still need routine maintenance and repair. That is where Design Air can help.

Indoor Air Quality

Everyone needs a breath of fresh air from time to time. In today’s world of super efficient, well-insulated buildings, there may be even a greater need. Although many advantages of modern construction exist, potentially poor indoor air quality can be one disadvantage. Our team at Design Air is dedicated to ensuring our customers have cleaner indoor air by providing testing and remediation services in Frenchtown.

Where do indoor air quality problems originate? The issue can vary from home to home, but smoking, pets, dust mites, and chemicals released from cleaning products or new construction can all contribute to poor indoor air quality.

Although many of us live with these and other irritants around us each day, long-term exposure may result in physical discomfort or significant health problems. Some Montana homeowners may experience symptoms including fatigue, allergies and asthma, flu-like systems, or respiratory issues. Certain air pollutants such as carbon monoxide from faulty heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can cause serious consequences or even death.

Our trained professionals can provide a thorough testing of your indoor air quality as well as suggest the best remediation actions for your home. Simple things like air filters, cleaning air ducts, or installing air purification systems may help improve your air quality a great deal.
