It happens when you least expect it, and when it’s the most inconvenient. This year, a broken heater or underperforming HVAC system can be extra troublesome when many are spending more time at home. Our team is taking extra precautions to keep your family and our staff safe by wearing masks and other PPE. Our promise of superior customer service and expertise has not changed. If you’re in need of an emergency heater or routine HVAC maintenance in Harrisburg, Hershey or the surrounding areas, give our team of experts a call at 717-525-9665.

Our Commitment to Repairing Before we Replace

Repairing a piece of equipment before we recommend a full replacement just makes sense to us. It saves our customers money, as well as reduces waste and environmental impact. Many HVAC issues are symptomatic of a fixable cause. Our HVAC experts have the experience to identify these issues and recommend cost-saving repairs. When a replacement is needed, we recommend a trusted brand that is best for our customer’s unique situation.

Holistic Approach to Home Energy

We come to each appointment with the perspective and know-how from all of our services. We handle heating and cooling, spouting, weatherization and insulation. This expertise allows us to take a holistic approach to each situation. If a customer calls because their thermostat just can’t seem to keep up, we have the ability to call in team members to inspect the home’s state of insulation and weatherization to ensure heat isn’t escaping from the home. By taking this holistic approach to home energy, we diagnose issues at the source, saving our customers, time, repair costs and money on their monthly utility bills.

Annual Maintenance Plans

We know you have enough to worry about, especially during these challenging times. Our annual HVAC maintenance plans provide our clients with stress-free, affordable options to keep up with HVAC maintenance like heater inspections, filter cleaning and replacement and more. Instead of wondering when the last time you replaced your filter was, you simply need to greet our team at the door twice a year to handle it.

The importance of indoor air quality during the coronavirus pandemic.

Here’s what you need to know about air cleaners and air scrubbers.

Much is left to learn about the coronavirus. Until then, all of us must do our part to keep our family, friends, employees and neighbors safe. Case counts are expected to increase with the onset of colder weather. With families spending more time indoors in the fall and winter months here in Harrisburg, PA, many of our customers are asking about air scrubbers. Here’s what you need to know:

  • When indoor ventilation is poor or outdoor air is limited, air scrubbers can be effective in removing contaminants and particles from the air. 
  • Air scrubbers release negative ions to combat small particles in the air and on surfaces. Air scrubbers also use HEPA filters to catch small microns. These differ from normal HVAC filters which catch large particles. 
  • The use of air cleaners alone cannot ensure safety, particularly where there is poor ventilation and pollutant sources are present. When used in combination with other protective equipment like masks and precautions like social distancing, or quarantining in one room of the house when sick, air scrubbers can help reduce airborne contaminants in the air. 
  • In addition to reducing the likelihood of germs and virus particles from traveling from room to room during high-risk times such as these, they can also be used yearound to reduce pollutants and germs during flu or allergy season. 
  • The use of an air scrubber also extends the life of your HVAC system.

For more information on air scrubbers and COVID-19, visit the EPA’s website.

Duct-mounted air scrubbers and portable air scrubbing units available.

We offer two types of air scrubbing technology: portable air scrubbing units and duct-mounted air scrubbers. Our customer service representatives will recommend a solution based on the size of your home or office and your unique situation.

Call us at 717-525-9665 for more information or shop online.

indoor air quality

Clean, high-quality air has always been part of the MT Building Services mission.

Air purification filters, portable air scrubbers, and HVAC maintenance contribute to clean air.

When we opened our doors in 2007, we had a vision of a small business that prioritized the best interest of its customers and what’s best for the future of our planet. Part of our mission was always to help our communities in Harrisburg, Hershey, Camp Hill and Mechanicsburg, PA have clean, high-quality air.

Annual maintenance plans to keep your HVAC unit in good condition.

While clean air begins with the right HVAC equipment for your building, ductwork, and habits, it takes regular maintenance to keep high-quality air in your home or office. Filter replacement, emptying of the water condensation unit, and ductwork cleaning keep a heating and cooling system up and running for the long term and help to avoid costly repairs or replacements. We believe HVAC maintenance should be affordable. Our team of HVAC experts, who have a homebase in Hummelstown, PA, offer two clean and tune options. $199 per year includes one visit in early summer and once in fall; $149 per year includes one visit per year.

Call our team at 717-525-9665 to learn more about maintenance options or to schedule an appointment.

Aerus air scrubber equipment for sale for your home, office or small business.

Today, in the age of the coronavirus pandemic, that mission for helping our residential and commercial clients achieve clean air has driven us to provide Aerus air scrubbing filters, portable Aerus air scrubbers, and PPE for sale.

According to the EPA, while air scrubber filters or portable units are not enough alone to protect people from COVID-19, this technology can help reduce virus particles and other airborne contaminants from the air in a room or building. Speak to our HVAC experts to determine the best air cleaning system for your home or office. They will ask you a series of questions on the size of your space, your existing HVAC unit, and the existing ductwork to determine the best solution to do your part to keep your customers, employees and family safe.

Call our team at 717-525-9665 for more information on portable air scrubbers and air scrubbing filters.

Do air scrubbers help stop the spread of viruses?

Here’s what you need to know about installing an air purification system during the coronavirus pandemic.

clean office air

Indoor air quality has been a priority for us at MT Building Services since we began in 2007. With the COVID-19 pandemic impacting the world—including here in the greater region of Harrisburg, PA—it’s more important now than ever before. You may have seen restaurants and other businesses installing air filters for their small commercial buildings in order to make customers feel more comfortable dining in. Air purification systems can be impactful for the offices of dentists and orthodontists, doctors, hair salons, spas, insurance offices, boutiques, and any other business which predominantly serves customers indoors. 

Whether seeking an air purifier for your home or small commercial building, here’s some information on air scrubbers and air purification systems to help you in your decision to move forward with installation.

What is an air purifier or air scrubber?

Air purifiers or air scrubbers are isolated systems or additions to your existing HVAC unit to filter out dust, pollen, pollutants, and particles similar to coronavirus droplets. At MT Building Services, we offer filters that can be added to your existing HVAC systems for indoor air quality you can feel good about.

How do air scrubber filters help reduce the spread of viruses?

We’ve long heard from customers who install an air scrubber that they’ve noticed a difference during winter cold and flu season; when one family member is sick, the air scrubber filter prevents the germs from spreading through the air to the entire house. The same is true for commercial buildings. With an air scrubber or air purification system, air is cleaned while traveling from office or room to the other— reducing the risk of air particles traveling throughout the building. 

Air scrubbers and filters capture 99.97 percent of particles that are 0.3 micron in diameter. The coronavirus itself is smaller, but the droplets (think coughing, sneezing, talking, breathing) are larger and are captured by air scrubbers. It’s important to note that the air must first travel through the air scrubbers to be effectively cleaned. Air filters won’t help stop the spread of coronavirus if you are in the same room as someone who has been infected, but can prevent the spread in air traveling from room to room.

What can I expect during an air scrubber installation?

Our HVAC experts in central PA will install your air scrubber with the same professionalism and care as they do any HVAC maintenance or repair visit. You can expect our technicians to arrive on time, answer any questions you have, and quickly get to work. Furthermore, during the COVID-19 pandemic, our team will wear masks, boot covers and gloves while in and around your home or office. We have PPE available for sale in bulk including, N95 masks, 3-ply disposable masks, gloves and hand sanitizer.

How much does an air scrubber by Aerus cost?

The cost of an air scrubber by Aerus typically starts at $1,000 dependent on the specifications of your building and existing ductwork system. We’ll ask a few questions while scheduling your appointment to understand the size of your home or office. We’ll then discuss how many air scrubber filters we recommend for the size of the space. Air scrubber installation will also be based on the quantity of filters being added to your HVAC system. For those who would prefer a portable air scrubbing unit, we do have portable units available for purchase for $850.

To schedule your air scrubber installation, call us at 717-525-9665.

7 Cheap and Easy Ways to Save Energy this Spring and Summer

lake

It’s still relatively chilly here in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, but warmer weather will be here before you know it. With that in mind, it is a good idea to look ahead and figure out ways to save now so you can just relax and enjoy your summer later on. There are countless ways to save energy in the summer. While some can be expensive, there are also plenty of free or cheap ways for you to lower your energy bills. Here are seven of the best tips from MT Heating and Cooling on doing so. 

Be Smart with Your Thermostat

Chances are, you’re not home all day. When your family isn’t home, you end up wasting energy too cool a home that no one is around to enjoy. With this in mind, you should give your air conditioner a break during the day by turning the thermostat back. This way it won’t run as long or use quite so much energy.  

Don’t turn it off completely, though. You will lose too much cool air that will have to be replaced later. Just a few degrees can make a significant difference. Even if you are home and you can stand the air being a bit hotter, setting your thermostat to a higher temperature (in summer) can help you save. You may also want to consider investing in a programmable thermostat as it can make saving this way easier and more convenient. Talk to MT Heating and Cooling in Johnstown, PA to learn more. 

Make Sure Your Home Has Good Circulation

If your air conditioner is using energy to create cool air, you want to make sure that air is spreading through your Dauphin County home so you can enjoy it. Therefore, MT Heating and Cooling reccommends paying close attention to the circulation in your home. Here are some tips to help promote airflow in your home. 

  • Make sure vents aren’t blocked. 
  • Make sure vents are clean. 
  • Change your air filter regularly. 
  • Get your air ducts cleaned every 8-10 years.
  • Use fans. 
  • Open windows when the weather is nice. 

By ensuring proper airflow, you can keep your family comfortable and your energy bills low. 

Close Your Curtains When the Sun is High

Sunlight will naturally warm your home. This is great news in the winter as it helps you save on energy bills. However, in the summer, it means making your air conditioner work harder and use even more energy to cool your home. With this in mind, you will want to block the sun during the day to help save some energy. Close your curtains, blinds, or shudders. 

Make Sure Your Home is Sealed and Insulated

If there are any cracks or holes in your home, warm air from outside can leak in making your home warmer. Then your air conditioner has to run longer and use more energy to reach your desired temperature. MT Heating and Cooling recommends taking the time to make your home is sealed. Check around your windows and doors for leaks and seal them if you find any. 

It is also helpful to ensure that your home is insulated. Areas that aren’t insulated, like your basement and attic, can also store heat and make the rest of your home hotter when air leaks out. Insulating these areas help prevent leaks, keeps your home comfortable, and saves energy.  

Be Smart with Appliances

Your appliances and devices can also use energy and add heat to your home. Being smart about how you use them can help you save. Use your appliances only as often as you have to and unplug them when they aren’t in use. Be sure to turn off lights when you aren’t in the room as well. You will also want to keep your water usage to a minimum. 

Go On An Outing

As mentioned before, when you aren’t home, you can turn your thermostat back to save some energy. With this in mind, it is a good idea to get out of the house. You can visit somewhere interesting, go out to eat, or even just hang out in your yard. Dining out or grilling prevents adding extra heat to your Johnstown, PA home. You can have fun with your friends or family and save energy on your heating bills while doing so. 

Schedule Maintenance


Finally, it is important to keep up with maintenance on your air conditioner. Doing so helps minimize issues that can cost you more and give your peace of mind that your HVAC system will work when you need it most. MT Heating and Cooling can help you accomplish this. You should schedule maintenance for your HVAC system 1-2 times per year. You can contact MT Heating and Cooling by visiting our website here: https://www.mtheatingandcooling.com/ or by calling (717)-525-9665. Together we can keep your air conditioner running efficiently so you can be comfortable and save money.
