Two-stage heating/Two-stage cooling

Two-stage heating/Two-stage cooling

By Standard Heating, Cooling & Plumbing / October 26, 2015

« Back to Glossary Index

Two-stage heating and cooling is considered to be more efficient, because it operates at low speed most of the
time. However, on days when more heating or air conditioning is required, it switches to the next stage for
maximum comfort.

He was very professional and nice. He explained what was wrong and what he did to resolve the problem. He also followed up with some things not to do. I appreciate all that he did.

Stuart was prompt, professional, courteous, and very efficient. He serviced my HVAC units in a timely fashion. Having just moved in a few months ago getting all my questions answered and the units thoroughly checked by a professional was paramount. Great job Stuart. Thank you.

I’ve had to call Standard 3 times in the last month for HVAC and plumbing issues. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been so great, especially our new plumber friend, Brad Casey! I will be using this company exclusively, from now on! 🤘

I used Standard to install a new gas water heater today. Baron was the tech and he clearly explained all the activities he would perform in presenting the cost estimate. Then the installation was performed efficiently and neatly. Well done.

Always get great service! Billy was so nice and professional. He was also super knowledgeable and diagnosed the problem almost immediately. Love that he already had info about my system from having Standard service previously ( I know nothing). Issues were fixed rapidly and my house is cool again! Thank you!

Our AC went out last week and they came within two days (hottest week so far this year of course!). Billy figured out the compressor issue in about 15 minutes and had us up and repaired it by the afternoon. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

The entire process of installing my system and the recent maintenance has been professional and so helpful. Daniel came this week and he took care of my equipment but he helped me get it online so I can check it and control it away from the house. So appreciate his help!
