Maintenance clubs are a little-understood subject, and one that we, as contractors who run a maintenance club, get asked a lot of questions about. So many, in fact, that today we’re going to answer some of those questions, and hopefully help you spot a good deal from a bad one–because…
“Winterizing” is something people do with their cars and their wardrobe, but not often with their air conditioning. It may be less fun than shopping for a winter coat or new boots, but preparing your AC for winter is very important–and simple enough that it could be fun, too! It’s…
We had a wet start to this month and that looks like it could be a trend. El Nino is making itself known early, bringing rain and cold temperatures to our already often-foggy state. That’s great for our state’s drought, but not for your home. If your air is more humid than usual, it may be the weather–but it could also be something you can fix with HVAC service.

Many of the houses here in the Valley are old–and as unique as old houses are, they come with their own set of unique challenges. One of those challenges is varying temperatures throughout the house, especially on different levels. Many homeowners chalk these problems up to owning an older home,…
We get it. It’s fall, your AC is turned off or about to be turned off, your heater doesn’t need to come on just yet, and you’re probably enjoying a well-deserved reprieve on the electric bill. And at Bell Brothers, we think that’s great. Everyone needs a break, and every…
