How often should I have my heat pump serviced?

You should have your heat pump serviced at least once a year. If you use your heat pump for heating and cooling, you should service it twice annually, in the fall and the spring.

What is the life span of a heat pump?

The average life span of a heat pump is 10-15 years. Because heat pumps run year-round to heat and cool your home, they don’t always last as long as a typical heating or cooling system. However, you can extend the life span by ensuring that your unit is routinely maintained by an HVAC professional.

What Do I Need For A Home Car Charging Station Installation In MA?

The cities in the North Shore area generally don’t have requirements specific to home EV charger installation or inspections, but there are a few things you’ll need to consider as you prepare to install a charging station in your Massachusetts home. When you call, a Cranney Home Services technician will guide you through a few questions about these key factors:

Station location: For most homeowners, this is a garage or driveway. If you would like to have the EV charger installed away from the home or garage it may be necessary to trench wiring underground for proper installation and to meet electrical codes.
Budget: Some charging stations will cost more depending on their features.
Portability: Do you want to be able to carry your EV charging station to other areas of your home? Would you prefer a longer cord or hose instead?
Amperage use: A level 2 charger is the most common home EV charger type. Level 2 charger installation requires a connection to a 240V electrical outlet, which is the same requirement for a standard home dryer.

Level 1, Level 2 & Level 3 EV Chargers

Level 1 charger: Uses a standard 110V outlet. It provides a dependable trickle of electricity but charges slowly. When homeowners purchase an electric vehicle, a level 1 charger usually comes with the car.
Level 2 charger: Uses a 240V outlet, which is the same voltage used for a standard clothes dryer. This is the most common charger type installed in homes and in public places. You’ll likely get a full charge overnight.
Level 3/DC fast charger: These chargers are found near highways or shopping malls. They require voltage higher than the capabilities of the average home, but they can fully recharge a car in under an hour — sometimes within minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will My House Need Additional Wiring?

Whether a home needs additional wiring depends on where you want to charge your electric vehicle and how much you drive every day. If you drive less than 50 miles a day and your preferred location is near a standard 110V outlet, you’ll likely be able to install a level 1 charger without any additional wiring work needed.

How Much Space Do You Need For A Home Charging Station?

You will need a wall near an electrical panel. An EV charging station is a wall-mounted box connected to a cord or hose that is as long as you need it to be.

Can I Install A Charging Station On My Own?

No. For your own safety, we do not recommend installing a charging station as a DIY project. It can require some high-voltage (240V) wiring, which is dangerous for untrained professionals.

Will The Charging Station Work With Any Vehicle Brand?

Generally, you can charge any electric vehicle at any standard level 2 charging station in your home or across North America. Many vehicle brands include adapters that function specifically for the vehicle you purchased.
