"Extremely helpful and knowledgeable."
The team at Farnen & Dermer is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Their expertise helped me understand my boiler system and feel comfortable with it. They took the time to explain everything and walk me through checking my system. Definitely an asset to Farnen & Dermer!

"Fortunate to have contacted Farnen & Dermer."
My gas furnace (1987 vintage, rest in peace) died on a Saturday, November 20, 2021. Cold nights were forecasted. Called several HVAC emergency services with no luck until I reached Farnen & Dermer. Their HVAC tech arrived between 1-2 pm, communicated by text and phone. They deemed the unit unrepairable but offered a reasonable quote for a new gas and AC unit, which could be installed Monday/Tuesday. They also offered financing. After the furnace died again that evening, I checked their website and accepted the quote. Installation was scheduled for Monday morning, and their technicians arrived at 8:15, completing the job by 3:05 pm. Very fortunate to have contacted Farnen & Dermer.

There is nothing worse in the hot Maryland summers than to have your air conditioning suddenly stop working. Fortunately, you do not have to wait until you are experiencing a cooling emergency, or lots of humidity, to take care of your system. Annual maintenance on your air conditioner will help clean out the dirt and dust that has been accumulating over time, lengthen the life of your system, increase energy efficiency, and identify repairs before they become worse or cause a breakdown requiring replacement.
During your air conditioning maintenance appointment, our certified technicians will:
Check operating pressures and temperatures
Clean and inspect the outdoor unit
Check the refrigerant level in the unit
Monitor the air flow and check the evaporator
Visually inspect your air conditioner for signs of wear or rust
Inspect the overall function of the system

Thermostats
At one point, thermostats were nothing more than a switch on the wall, designed to turn your air conditioner on and off. Over time, they became equipped with temperature gauges that allowed the air conditioner to automatically turn on when the room reached a certain temperature. For many years, thermostats served this singular function based on the user’s preferred temperature. Eventually, a timer function was added to an air conditioner’s thermostat giving the user a chance to create weekday and weekend programs that met their cooling needs. Instead of maintaining a cool 68 degrees while the homeowner was at work, the programmable thermostat allowed the homeowner to return home to a comfortable temperature without paying for unnecessary energy expenditure throughout the day. Today, thermostats are one of the easiest upgrades a person can make to create a more energy-efficient home.
Programmable thermostats are designed to change the temperature in your home based on the hours in which your home is occupied. The user is able to set several times and temperature settings, customizing their home’s air conditioning use to their needs. For instance, you may leave home at 7:00 am and return home at 5:00 pm. A programmable thermostat would allow your home to sit at a balmy 80 degrees until 4:45 pm when your air conditioner would turn on, cooling the home for your return.
WiFi-enabled thermostats are equipped with technology that allows you to control your home’s temperature from your smartphone. Where programmable thermostats are ideal if you have the same routine day in and day out, WiFi thermostats, such as the Nest, can be controlled with the touch of a screen. They also come with smart technology that “learns” your daily routines and anticipates your heating and cooling needs.
