Stan's

Stan's has been installing heating and cooling systems in new homes for over 50 years. We know we have to consider each new home as a complete system. We need to be as attentive to insulation and ductwork sizing as condenser-sizing and theoretical efficiency. We take this ‘Whole House' approach with every home, new or existing. We provide the most efficient, state-of-the-art air conditioning, furnace, heat pump, mini-split, and geothermal options and will help you determine which product mix is best suited for your new home's needs.

Thermostats come in a variety of models, but through many years of experience with all brands of thermostats, Stan's has identified the ones that are the most reliable and the most appropriate. We are also proud to offer smart thermostat installation. This easy-to-use advancement in energy efficiency enables homeowners to customize heating and cooling schedules in great detail. Smart thermostats learn the patterns of when your home is occupied and automate HVAC operation, ensuring optimal performance and energy bill savings.

Residential HVAC system capacity is measured in tonnage, an archaic industry term which refers to the quantity of heat the system can remove in an hour. Typical Residential capacity ranges from 1.5 ton units which can remove 18,000 BTUs per hour to 5 ton units which can remove up to 60,000 BTUs in an hour. An Energy Vanguard article digs into the history of "tonnage" as a measurement unit. Larger capacity is not inherently better. Large units are generally more expensive and, if used in smaller spaces, cool air too quickly to adequately remove humidity - providing less comfort than an appropriately sized unit.

Sump pumps are devices used to collect water from a sump basin or basement. You may not think much about your sump pump until rainy weather comes around. If your sump pump is not working properly, your home's basement may be prone to flooding, leading to extensive water damage. At Stan's Heating, Air & Plumbing, we are highly qualified to repair or replace your home's sump pump to ensure you're ready for the next rainfall. A sump pump is an essential piece of plumbing equipment that pumps out accumulated water in your home to a storm sewer or containment pond.

Drain repairs are necessary when you have more than a simple clog in your drain or pipes.

Plumbing leaks can be a serious issue for home and business owners. While some leaks may seem minor, water damage can build up over time and lead to additional damage or dangerous mold and mildew. Some leaks are much more obvious, where you have major water leaks or ruptured sewage pipes.

Whether you need a small replacement or an emergency sewage repair, our expert team will ensure that your leak is properly repaired.

In our climate, if you are constructing or have an existing all-electric building or an electric building with propane, using a heat pump is the most economic choice to meet your comfort goals. A heat pump system costs roughly 50% less to operate than an all-electric heating and cooling system, and about 33% less to operate than propane heating with an electric cooling system. When considering installing a new heat pump, capacity of the system, and the energy efficiency of the system are the two essential items to be considered.

We can analyze your plumbing system without damaging the plumbing or landscaping with our comprehensive camera inspections.
