Reviews From Our Customers

Peter and Chris did an excellent job on our furnace and air conditioner replacement. Peter took the time to do a full measurement of our space and offer a few options that best met our needs and budget. They were professional during installation and took the proper time to make sure everything was done right. I would recommend anyone seeking HVAC service or install reach out to Elite Degrees Heating and Cooling.
I’m always hesitant with calling repair companies because you never know what your going to get. My air would not cool the house below 78 and it was a Saturday. I happened to see someone else ask for AC repair companies on a local FB community page and I grabbed the number for Peter with Elite Degrees. He answered and was prompt to tell me to text him my info and he would come out on Monday. He was right on his word, he showed up on that Monday and looked at the furnace and AC. It was the Motor blower on my 29 year old furnace. Peter was honest. My furnace gave its full life and he offered to replace the blower motor but asked if I gave thought into a new furnace, which I had. Peter measured the space. Came back with a new quote that was around what I estimated. Since it was in the 90’s and sweltering in the house, he was able to get the furnace installed 2 days later. He even came late and stayed till 1am to make sure we at least had air running. Chris, Peter’s associate, showed up to finish the install. It looks great and I can honestly say, I have not felt this much air in the house ever. I really needed that new furnace. Peter and Chris, exceeded my expectations. They were kind, courteous, accommodating. I can’t say enough. You can’t go wrong with this company. I plan on holding on to them for when I need my AC replaced.
Very professional company! I called on a Saturday Peter was willing to come same day; however; my husband wanted to be home. Peter was understanding and offered to come Sunday 8am. Peter was on time and quickly resolved the problem with my AC and at a reasonable price! Highly recommend you won’t be disappointed!!
Peter worked quickly and effectively to get our AC unit working again. He took the time to answer our questions and was very politely and friendly. We are planning to use this business for all our HVAC needs going forward. Highly recommend.
Chris and Peter did a great job! They replaced a leaking 75-gallon water heater the same day. Very professional and courteous. Highly recommended!

Our FAQ

How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

For optimal performance, it’s recommended to have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. Ideally, schedule maintenance before fall or before spring. This ensures your system is ready for the demands of either extreme temperature.

Can I perform heat pump maintenance myself?

While some basic tasks can be done by homeowners, such as cleaning or replacing filters, most maintenance should be done by a professional. Here’s why:

  • Specialized Tools and Knowledge: Many components, such as refrigerant levels and electrical systems, require specific tools and expertise to handle them safely.
  • Manufacturer Warranties: Some warranties require that maintenance be done by a licensed professional to remain valid.
  • Preventing Larger Issues: A professional can spot minor issues that may be difficult for homeowners to detect.
How can I prepare my heat pump for the upcoming season?

To ensure your heat pump is ready for the upcoming season, you can:

  • Clean or Replace Filters: Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency, so replace or clean them regularly.
  • Check the Thermostat Settings: Ensure the thermostat is set to the correct mode (cooling or heating) and that it’s working properly.
  • Clear the Area Around the Outdoor Unit: Remove debris, leaves, or snow from the outdoor unit to ensure proper airflow.
  • Schedule Professional Maintenance: A technician will ensure that your heat pump is in optimal condition for the season ahead.
What signs indicate my heat pump may need maintenance sooner than planned?

While annual maintenance is standard, some signs that indicate your heat pump may need attention include:

  • Strange Noises: Grinding, clicking, or hissing sounds may signal internal issues.
  • Inconsistent Temperatures: If your heat pump isn’t delivering consistent heating or cooling, it may need a tune-up.
  • Ice on the Outdoor Unit: This could indicate a problem with the defrost cycle or refrigerant levels.
  • Foul Odors: Musty or burning smells could indicate mold, overheating components, or a wiring issue.
  • Increased Energy Bills: If your energy costs spike without an apparent reason, it may be due to your heat pump running inefficiently.
How can I extend the life of my heat pump?

Neglecting heat pump maintenance can lead to:

  • Reduced Efficiency: The system may work harder, using more energy to heat or cool your home.
  • Frequent Repairs: Small problems can become big issues without regular checks.
  • Shorter Lifespan: An unmaintained system may fail prematurely, requiring a costly replacement sooner than expected.
  • Decreased Comfort: Poor performance can lead to inconsistent temperatures and discomfort.

How can I extend the life of my heat pump?


To extend the life of your heat pump:

  • Schedule Annual Professional Maintenance: Regular inspections and servicing keep your system running smoothly.
  • Change the Air Filters Regularly: Clogged filters restrict airflow and can cause the system to overheat.
  • Keep the Outdoor Unit Clear of Debris: Trim shrubs or remove leaves around the outdoor unit to allow proper airflow.
  • Monitor for Issues: Don’t ignore unusual noises, temperature inconsistencies, or other issues before they escalate.
