Owner Blaine Whitmore built the business around that mix: new-construction installs sized correctly from day one, and the fast turnaround rental properties in the area often need between tenants.

An area with both new construction and rental turnover needs a company comfortable with both. Here's what to check.

A system sized wrong for a new build shows up as short-cycling or uneven cooling within the first year or two.
