If you’ve ever considered scheduling a gas furnace tune-up for your New Haven County home, you may have a lot of questions about how many times a year you need to have an experienced HVAC technician come to look at your home’s heating. Is once a year enough? Should you consider more? Is it necessary to call a specialist out at all if all they do is clean out the dust in the system and leave?
Summer heat makes most people all too aware of the value of their air conditioning units. There are plenty of companies that start promoting AC tune-up services as far north as Milford, CT, during mid to late spring precisely because HVAC systems see so much usage during the summer. However, if you haven’t performed maintenance like changing your air filter, you should consider making an appointment as soon as possible.
With the weather getting warmer, you should start thinking about getting your air conditioner ready for the summer. Whether that’s calling up your local air conditioning repair service in New Haven County, or getting a new unit installed, you want to take steps now to make sure that you’re not caught sweltering in the overwhelming heat of the summer.
As warm weather rolls in, we are inclined to use our air conditioning more than ever. However, your unit might not be in top shape. If you’re experiencing mechanical or efficiency issues with your AC, it might be time to consider replacing it. Here at Air Specialties, we offer air conditioning installations throughout New Haven County and are here to help you decide if you should replace your air conditioning unit.
With the coronavirus (aka COVID-19) continuing to escalate in our community, every local resident, family, and business is feeling the effects.

Through it all, we want to reassure our customers that Air Specialties is prioritizing your health and safety while continuing to provide outstanding heating, cooling, and indoor air quality services to those in need.
In an effort to fight off the worst contagion seen in Connecticut since the Spanish Influenza of 1918, Governor Lamont ordered the shutdown of non-essential retailers on Monday, March 23. Only businesses whose functions are necessary to the health and safety of local communities are allowed to operate during this time. We’re happy to say that Air Specialties is a state-designated essential business, so our services will continue to be available throughout New Haven County. You can count on us to be there and work safely!
We Take Your Safety Seriously!
Our entire business revolves around the health and comfort of our customers. Although we are known throughout New Haven County for always taking the correct safety measures before and during a service, we have updated our protocols to comply with new CDC guidelines. As a result, our service technicians have undergone rigorous retraining on the health and safety procedures they must follow while on call. Here are the steps we’re taking to ensure your safety:
Field experts are required to wear protective gear, such as masks, gloves, and shoe covers.
All frequently-touched surfaces, objects, and tools must be cleaned on a regular basis.
Field experts are required to implement a no-touch policy with customers, meaning no handshakes or other forms of contact are allowed.
Field experts must remain at least six feet away from customers, if possible.
Any employees who feel unwell for any reason are required to stay home and recover — no exceptions!
Please Make Sure to Do Your Part!
We implore you, one of our most valued customers, to follow the same health guidelines and cleaning practices at home and in public to reduce the spread of germs and bacteria. Furthermore, our call center representatives will be screening customers who require any emergency HVAC services to ensure the safety of our field technicians, as well.
This virus will not stop spreading throughout our beloved community if we don’t work together to put a stop to it. Every person can make a difference! Our thoughts and prayers are with the affected families. Air Specialties will be doing whatever we can to help ease your burden during these tumultuous times.

Owning a home comes with a litany of perks, but also some not-so-pleasant responsibilities. Having to replace major appliances falls in the latter category. In our day-to-day business as a gas furnace repair service in the New Haven County area, the experts at Air Specialties sometimes have to break the news to our customers that it’s time for a new furnace or air conditioner.
When something you count on to make your living space, well, livable, conks out, you have to bite the bullet and dip into your wallet.
If you find yourself having to buy a new furnace or air conditioning system, it might be smart to invest in replacing both at the same time. Here’s why:
A Shared Motor
Typically, furnaces last longer than air conditioners, with a lifespan of up to 20 years. Air conditioners tend to need replacement every 15 to 20 years. Unless you own a mini-split air conditioning system, which consists of an outdoor compressor and an indoor air blower, your furnace and air conditioner are symbiotic in that they share the same blower motor.
The function of the blower motor is what you might expect: It blows heated or cooled air through your house.
The risk in buying a brand new, high-efficiency air conditioning system and hooking it up to an old blower motor is twofold:
The air conditioner won’t run at maximum efficiency
The air conditioner could prematurely break down due to increased wear and tear
Money Saved in the Long Run
Replacing a furnace and air conditioner at the same time might seem like an expensive proposition, but if both are running together at peak efficiency, you’re bound to see the savings in your energy bills over time.
Additionally, choosing to install a new heating and cooling system means fewer major repair bills for either appliance in the near future. Of course, it helps to hire expert technicians to do the installing, and Air Specialties is always here to help!
Other Considerations
Replacing both your air conditioner and furnace at the same time is not required, and if you purchased your furnace within the last 10 years, you probably can hold off replacing it for a while. Remember to keep it functioning at full capacity by scheduling regular maintenance checkups and not neglecting necessary repairs.

Great company, been using them for years and they're always professional, prompt, courteous and diligent. Maintenance plan has saved me a number of times.
I have just had my annual furnace tuneup once again with Air Specialties. Mike was here on time and as always did a very thorough job inspecting and sharing everything he was doing. I have been with Air Specialties over 5 years now and couldn't be happier with this company.
We have our Navion system serviced each year since it was installed in November 2021. It is a joy to have Air Specialties service tech Mike come out each year and do a thorough inspection. He is very nice, honest and joy to talk with when he is here. The installation of our Navion system was through Air Specialties as well and did a great job. Highly recommend them for yoir next install.
I have been doing business with this company for over 20 years. They are always prompt and thorough. They are also concerned with ensuring I am happy and comfortable with the service. All of the technicians are wonderful and caring.
We have used this company for many years and very satisfied. Today, we had a regular fall hearing system check and Mike did a great job finding the problem and correcting it quickly and efficiently; a real professional.
Super-efficient and knowledgeable team. Bob did a huge favor for my family and scheduled a major job quickly to keep everyone cool.Clean work, fair price, friendly team. Couldn't ask for more.Thank you.
I have been using Air Specialties for some years now at two addresses. The technicians are top notch! The service they give is excellent. They send the same tech each time whenever possible. These guys like working for this company which says a lot for them. I would and have recommended them to friends and neighbors. As they were recommended to me.
Our service guy, Mike was professional and courteous. Very knowledgeable about our central air. I recommend Air Specialists AC & heating. They are a great company.
I have been a homeowner in the Milford, CT, area since 1974, and, through the years, have had difficulty finding a reliable and trustworthy furnace and central air service. I am in my fourth year with this company and couldn't be more pleased. I have the full service contract and am very happy with their promptness, professionalism and courtesy. ...Two years have passed since the comments above, and, in 2024, Air Specialties continues to promptly provide extraordinary service whether the job is great or small!!
We've been clients for over twenty years for good reason: timely, professional, friendly service. Our air conditioning failed during recent heat wave. Air Specialties responded quickly and provided expert advice and options.
I have used Air Specialties for several decades to install and maintain two furnaces with humidifiers attached, two air conditioners, and a heat pump. Not once have I had any reason to complain about the company's service. And I am *not* one who hesitated to squawk to my pre-retirement employer (Yale), when I see something broken or unsafe in my classroom or office.
This team is an A+.I went to turn on my central air for the first time this season the beginning of last week and nothing happened. I spoke with Barb on Wednesday knowing that I would need to get my old system replaced. Friday morning Bob came out to check out my existing set up and write me up for a quote. That afternoon John and Sam squeezed me into their schedule, fixed a few items and filled up my coolant. When they left me and my pup were nice and cool. Barb followed up with me shortly after just to check in an make sure I was happy!On Tuesday this week I received the quote for the new system.My parents have been using them for over 20 years!Great company and team work, thank you!!!
My AC wouldn’t go below 82 right at the start of the June ‘24 heatwave. Bob sent a specialist out the day after I called. The AC works good as new, and it was all done for a reasonable price. I now have a go to company for all my heating and cooling needs. Recommend them highly!
My AC was not working the day before a heat wave came in. Bob and his team had someone at my house within 4 hours and fixed the issue for a fair price. Highly recommend.
Had my 7 year old Air conditioning unit serviced Spoke to Bob in the office and made the appointment Jim and Pete were the servicemen that showed up on time explained everything and were polite and professional A really excellent experience
We had a brand new central air system and furnace installed over the course of 2 days. The installation techs were extremely knowledgeable and professional. They even repaired and improved other parts of our system/ducting that was not expected to be worked on. Would recommend!
I have been a customer with Air Specialties for over20 years. I have always has superior experiences with this company. The technicians are extremely knowledgeable. Recently, Jim and Pete were here for the yearly air conditioning tune up. All work was done quickly and efficiently. Great guys!!!
We are so thankful for air specialties- they have always been there when we needed them and they truly care about the service we receive. Pete and jim are great!
Our Central AC unit wasn't working in late July and Air Specalties came out quickly and immediately diagnosed the problem.Our system was 18 years old and we needed a new one. Mike and Sam the two installers came out within a week and did a fantastic job installing the new Unit. Bob Bradley the owner of Air Specialties walked us through everything step by step. I highly recommnend using Air Specailties!
Air Specialties just performed my annual AC service. I’ve used them for a number of years now. What is great is that I’ve had the same technician, Mike every time! Mike is a big reason why I sign up each year as he always provides a thorough professional experience each time!
