We take tap water for granted because we are fortunate to have a ready supply of safe water. But safe water and soft water are not the same. Although it may taste a little different, hard water is usually not unhealthy-it is, however, hard on you and your home. Higher levels of magnesium and calcium are common in our area, making water "hard" and contributing to water spots, itchy skin, and buildup in pipes, water heaters, basins, toilets, and more. A water softener from Cliff Bergin & Associates is the easy answer to your hard water problems.

A sunroom, breezeway, attic, home addition, or workshop in the garage can give you the "bonus" living space you want in your home, but it can be difficult to manage the temperature in these areas. Whether it's because there's no ductwork, poor ventilation, drafty windows, or an added heat source like appliances or electronics, you'll get more use from these rooms when you manage the temperature with a ductless split system from Cliff Bergin & Associates. A ductless split system picks up where your primary heating or cooling system leaves off.

A reliable sump pump is something no home should be without. It can keep your basement dry and prevent messy, costly water damage, but remember that it needs occasional maintenance or replacement. The plumbing professionals at Cliff Bergin & Associates can test and inspect your pump to ensure it will be ready to work when you need it most. A sump pump is a small water pump that is typically installed in a specially constructed pit (or crock) in the lowest part of your basement or crawl space. Any excess rain or ground water on your property drains into this safe holding area until it's full enough to raise the float and activate the pump.

The term heat pump is a bit misleading because this system is dual purpose. Its name simply means that it moves heat where and when it's needed, using minimal energy. During the winter, the system extracts heat from outdoor air and moves it indoors. In the summer, the process reverses to transfer indoor heat outdoors. It acts exactly like an air conditioner, keeping your home cool and comfortable-and can be a smart alternative to using an A/C. Combining a heat pump and gas furnace creates an energy-efficient hybrid heat system.

You change the oil in your car. You vaccinate your pets. You have a battery backup for your sump pump. You know an ounce of prevention is a good policy, so why stop short when it comes to something as important as your home's heating system?

An oil or gas furnace that is regularly maintained by our professionals will be more reliable and efficient. Besides a much-needed annual cleaning, the service includes a thorough inspection, lubrication of all moving parts, and adjustments that improve performance.

If you're building a new house or updating an existing home, your heating system deserves special consideration.

Our friendly, certified heating and cooling specialists will help you choose the best unit for your home and budget, with features that help you better manage your comfort, energy use, and air quality.

The NATE-certified technicians at Cliff Bergin & Associates know that the size is everything when it comes to air conditioning installations.

Trust the experts at Cliff Bergin to determine the ideal unit for your cooling needs-and guarantee the installation is completely up to code.
