humid summers and nobody knows this better than the air conditioning technicians at Expert Heating and Cooling.

Alyssa Angellotti, who works as the company’s vice president of business development, explained how important it is to schedule biannual appointments for HVAC system maintenance.

“Spring is the ideal time for AC maintenance,” said Angellotti, adding that air conditioners generally require servicing in the spring and summer months. “Maintenance helps to reduce energy, helps with cost savings, and extends the life of the equipment.

We always stress to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to your HVAC equipment. Don’t risk running your equipment to failure and having to deal with a broken AC unit during a heatwave.” ◆ 24400 Northline Rd, Taylor // 844-EXPERT-1 // info@expertheatcool.com

OFFERING MORE THAN A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE

Cameron’s Hardwood Floor Refinishing Floors go from dull, scratched and stained to glossy, clean and beautiful

M Floor refinishing is something

you don’t usually think about until you need it. As Brian Cameron of Cameron’s Hardwood Floor Refinishing says, “It’s just one of those hidden businesses until you’re actually a homeowner and you’re like, ‘Hey, who does this?’” Your floor could need revitalizing for just about any reason, from pulling up some ugly old carpet, to stains and damage.

Brian has been installing and refinishing hardwood floors for 11 years now, and still gets excited by texts from his customers. Just look at the before and after photos on his Facebook page and you’ll see why. Floors go from dull, scratched and stained to glossy, clean and beautiful. The system they use is 98% dust-free, too, so you won’t be dealing with air quality issues after the fact.

Brian somehow manages to refinish floors while also being a one-man customer service team.

If you call up their number, he’s the person you’re getting. He’s also the guy sticking it out until your floor looks perfect. “I really push for quality at the end of the day – and my crew does an amazing job!” he says. The results speak for themselves. ◆
