Does your HVAC company oversell you on a big unit you don’t need? You might not need that giant furnace or A/C unit. Larry explores this in a short interview by Lansing’s own WLAJ 53.
Everyone’s home is different, but the biggest thing we see is that most HVAC companies over-install something too big (that includes new builds). This causes your HVAC system to cycle on and off more frequently, causing wear and tear. Larry breaks it down, and it’s a short video, under a minute. Worth your time if you’re investing in a furnace or A/C unit now.
Just how much does a new furnace and air conditioner cost for a typical mid Michigan house? Larry breaks it down for you – and you might not need to replace BOTH at the same time.
Should you cover your A/C unit in the winter or not? Some of your neighbors might wrap or cover their A/C and you wonder if you should too? Larry tells you whether you should cover or not and why.
Larry breaks it down for you in this video. Should you just hose off that A/C unit? Do you need regular maintenance? There are some very specific reasons why you should have it maintained by a professional.
When should you replace your A/C unit? And what should you look for? Larry breaks it down. Don’t get over sold! In our short-summer climate, you don’t need the top of the line unit, you just need basic reliability. Fewer parts equal less to break (and less costly to repair.)
What brand of furnace or air conditioner is best? Well, as owner Larry says “Any furnace is a good furnace!” Especially in our climate in mid Michigan! But there are better contractors than others, and better contractors tend to choose brands of furnace or air conditioners that are easier to maintain and have a better, longer lasting track record. Learn more about this in the video!

Before you call All Star Mechanical to fix your furnace that isn’t working, check these three things: 1) do you have power to your furnace (there is usually a switch nearby your furnace) 2) Do you have power/battery power to your thermostat and 3) do you have a clean furnace filter in?

Larry offers tips for the size of your home furnace or A/C. When it’s 0 degrees out in Mid Michigan, your furnace should never shut off. Most improperly sized furnaces run then shut off, creating wear and tear cycles that can shorten the life of your furnace over time.

I’ve heard this saying for my entire life. The first step is to acknowledge there is a problem. We still seem to be in the denial stage. I’m not even sure that enough people actually believe that many of the problems we see are correlated.
Adding funding to one systemic pronblrm while ignoring others is making things worse.
We are not only watching police kill people in real time, and accepting it, we are fostering and nurturing home grown racist sentiments. More killings will be televised, but will the revolution?
