Four Corners Heating and Cooling was founded last year by Chris Liston and Joseph Reichman, who’ve spent decades working for prominent HVAC companies in the area.
“As a family-owned-and-run company, we take pride in building relationships with our customers through a culture of white-glove service, expertise and, above all, integrity,” says Operations Director Allison Minda. “We want to both serve and service our greater community. We chose the name ‘Four Corners’ to illustrate that we care about every part of a home’s environment and making it the most comfortable and healthiest it can be.”
She says they make it a priority to put a plan in place for customers to extend the life and maximum effectiveness of their systems before they need to replace them.
The Role Prevention Plays
“For anyone who hasn’t had their air conditioning unit serviced this year, now is still a good time to have us take a thorough look,” Allison says. “Before the hottest days of summer come our way, if you notice your unit is limping along and not meeting the temperatures you set in every room, these early warning signs could be more easily fixed before the unit breaks down. Sometimes just a thorough cleaning of the unit is enough to keep it running smoothly.”
Especially with older homes you find on the East Side, that were built before air conditioning, creating cooling solutions can be tricky.
“We can update the ductwork to make modern, efficient cooling a reality,” she says. “We also specialize in repairing and replacing boilers, which not many HVAC companies do.”
As a preferred dealer, Four Corners works with all the top manufacturers such as Carrier, Comfort Air, Trane and Mitsubishi.
“From tiny apartments to multifamily homes and large estates with complex systems, zones and splits, we can handle any heating or cooling need,” says Allison.
Safeguarding Indoor Air Quality
“The pandemic had us all more concerned with germs and the quality of the air we breathe,” she says. “As a result, a big trend in our business is installing air scrubbers to HVAC units. I’m a mother of four and I installed one and love it. Attached directly to our basement unit, air passes through a UV light that kills airborne germs. I feel like it’s a positive protection against all the germs my kids bring home from school.”
In addition to germs, viruses and bacteria, air scrubbers also reduce air pollution, pet dander, odors and dust.
Moisture plays a key role in indoor air quality, too. During a preventive check, Four Corners technicians test and evaluate the humidity levels in a home.
“People with allergies, asthma or skin conditions often add whole-house humidifiers to remove irritating dry air from the environment,” she says. “Dry air can also impact cracking in hardwood floors, windows, doors or furniture.”
On the flip side, she reports that dehumidifiers come into play for indoor air quality that’s overly humid, which can create an environment for mold, mildew and musty odors.
“Whatever a home’s unique situation, our seasoned techs are trained to come up with smart solutions,” she says. “If a home has a room or floor that doesn’t keep up with the preferred temperature, with the advancements in HVAC equipment, we can almost always fix that.”
Judging by all the five-star reviews, the Four Corners formula is working.
