Local Matters to Gastech Solutions It is always important to support local businesses, but when it comes to dealing with your home’s heating, water heater or air conditioner, choosing local can make a huge difference. Gastech Solutions Inc., locally owned by Gary Meredith, has been a trusted name in the industry for almost 20 years, offering expert service with a personal touch. With over 32 years of experience as a G1 gas technician, Gary is not just the owner but also the person customers meet when they need a new HVAC system. “At Gastech, we don’t have the typical ‘salesman’ coming to your home,” says Gary “Instead, we send someone with years of experience installing what we sell.” This hands-on approach ensures that each system is properly sized and tailored to the customer’s needs. “We take the time to view the home, discuss different products and manufacturers, and make sure the equipment is the right fit for the space.” One of the most common issues Gary sees is the lack of regular maintenance. “A lot of problems arise from dirty filters or improperly installed equipment,” he says. He recommends simple yet effective steps to keep systems running efficiently: “Change your furnace filter with the change of seasons, or more often depending on its size. Cover or remove the cover from your outdoor condenser as needed and always schedule regular maintenance with a licensed technician.” Gary suggests upgrading to high-efficiency equipment and using a smart programmable thermostat for those looking to cut energy costs. “Most people sleep better in cooler
temperatures, so turning the thermostat down a few degrees overnight or when the house is empty can help save on both heating and cooling costs. A smart thermostat makes this easy by automatically adjusting temperatures.” Gastech Solutions takes pride in its commitment to customer service. “During business hours, you’ll always speak to a real person – no automated attendants. And if you call after hours, you’ll be greeted by a technician, not an answering service.” This dedication to personal service sets the company apart and en- sures customers get the help they need when they need it most. Heat pumps are also becoming increasingly popular due to their energy efficiency. “They offer significant savings during spring, summer, and fall, and with available rebates, they’re more affordable than ever,” Gary explains. Despite the challenges of working in extreme weather, Gary finds great fulfillment in what he does. “When someone’s furnace, heat pump, or water heater fails, we hear the panic in their voice. These are things people take for granted— until they stop working. Knowing we can put their minds at ease and restore comfort quickly makes the long hours and tough conditions worthwhile. At the end of the day, I can smile knowing we’ve made a difference.” Supporting local businesses like Gastech Solutions means receiving expert service from people who care about their community. With a focus on quality work and customer satisfaction, Gastech is dedicated to keeping homes com- fortable year-round.
