I’m Chad Peterson, a retired mechanical contractor with more than just a few years of hands-on experience in heating, cooling, and indoor air quality.

Since 1977, I’ve helped homeowners solve tough HVAC problems, from simple thermostat settings to complex heat exchanger issues.

Today, I use that knowledge to share practical advice, clear up industry confusion, and help you make smarter decisions about your home comfort systems.

For instance, what questions should you ask an HVAC salesperson when proposing a new heating system? You can be armed to the hilt before they come to your door with the questions and answers I offer you in this article.

My goal is simple: Give homeowners the honest answers they need — without being too technical.
