- Furnace installation and replacement: Equipment selection, sizing and professional installation for forced-air heating systems, including comparison with heat pump and dual-fuel options.
- Furnace repair: Diagnosis and repair for furnaces that will not start, heat evenly, maintain temperature or operate normally.
- Furnace tune-ups and maintenance: Seasonal inspection, cleaning and testing for supported equipment.
- Boiler services: Installation, replacement and repair for hydronic heating systems.
- Ductless mini split heating: Zoned heating for homes, additions and spaces where conventional ductwork is limited or unavailable.
Cooling Services
Standard provides air conditioning installation, repair and tune-ups for central AC, heat pump and ductless cooling systems. Use the service descriptions and links below to distinguish a new-equipment project from a system problem or a seasonal tune-up.

- AC installation and replacement: System selection, sizing and installation for central air conditioning and other appropriate cooling options.
- AC tune-up and maintenance: Preventive inspection, cleaning and testing for a cooling system that is currently operating.
- Heat pump cooling: Year-round heating and cooling from a properly selected air-source heat pump.

- Air filtration and indoor air quality: Whole-home filtration options selected to work with the HVAC system and household needs.
Insulation Services
Standard began as an insulation company and continues to provide insulation installation for existing homes, new construction and commercial properties. The correct material and installation approach depends on the building assembly, existing insulation, moisture conditions, air leakage and project goals.
- Spray foam insulation: Insulation and air sealing for appropriate assemblies, selected according to project requirements.
- Attic insulation: Assessment and installation for an area that can strongly affect seasonal heat loss, heat gain and comfort.
- Blown-in and cellulose insulation: Flexible options for attics, walls and other accessible or enclosed spaces.
- Crawl space and wall insulation: Targeted improvements for areas that may contribute to drafts, moisture concerns and uneven temperatures.
- New construction and commercial insulation: Planning and installation support for builders, businesses and larger properties.
Energy Audits, Rebates & Additional Services
HVAC and insulation decisions should account for the home as a complete system. Standard can evaluate energy loss, airflow, equipment condition and building-envelope concerns, then help customers understand current programs or incentives that may apply to qualifying work.
- Energy audits and assessments: Evaluation of energy use, comfort concerns and potential improvement priorities.
- Blower door testing: Diagnostic testing used to evaluate air leakage and support an air-sealing plan.
- Grants, rebates and EmPower+: Information about current programs and qualifying projects; eligibility, funding and application requirements should be confirmed before publication or proposal.
- Water heaters: Installation and replacement options based on household demand, energy source and project requirements.
- Concrete leveling: A separate property-improvement service that should link to its dedicated page rather than being grouped as an HVAC service.
