Yesterday North Star came in to clean/inspect a unit I have not lived in for four years.Cris came in and walked me through all of issues.

Jerry and the North Star team did an amazing job strategizing and installing a completely new and reconfigured HVAC system.

I'd rather not have to call someone to fix a broken furnace in February, but if I gotta, I'm glad I can call NorthStar.

NorthStar replaced the valve with a quality Honeywell valve and even put a new nipple which connected to the gas source.

If your house isn't cooling, it can turn a dreamy summer day into a nightmare. Below are a few tips to check before calling for service. A quick check can save time and money.
Check the thermostat.
If your thermostat is blank or has a blinking battery light or symbol on the thermostat, it indicates that the batteries need to be changed. Most thermostats require AA or AAA batteries.
Check your Breakers
Sometimes a high voltage breaker can trip and cause the unit to stop working. If that is the issue, flip it back and you should be back in business.
Inspect your air filter
If the filter is dirty the unit will run continuously and the temperature in you house will have a difficult time keeping up. A simple change may be all you need to address the situation.
Frozen coil
If ice covers your coil, or liquid that couldn't have come from another source surrounds the line, your line is likely leaking refrigerant and a professional inspection is warranted.
