At Dominick Fuel, we deliver total comfort! We go beyond heating with installation and service of quality air conditioning and indoor air quality systems. And don't forget to check out our NEW home energy audits that could slash your energy bills by up to 30%!

Air Conditioning

Dominick Fuel will replace, upgrade or service your central air conditioning system for maximum comfort and efficiency. We specialize in quality units from Carrier, and will help you select a model that meets your budget requirements. And our 14-Point Spring Tune-Up is a smart move in ensuring optimal performance.

Equipment

A new, energy-efficient cooling unit will save you money and keep you comfortable for years. We recommend central air conditioners that are ENERGY STAR^® qualified. This means that the units have met strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. ENERGY STAR^® qualified central air conditioners have a higher seasonal efficiency rating (SEER) than standard models, which makes them about 14% more efficient than standard models.

Indoor Air Quality

The air inside your home may be even worse than the air outside — especially if you are among America's 40 million allergy sufferers. Add in the fact that we spend 90% of our time within our home's four walls, and indoor air quality becomes a major concern. Dominick Fuel can help ensure clean, fresh, healthy air in your home by installing Carrier air filters and ultraviolet light systems, plus humidifiers/dehumidifiers, room air cleaners and other indoor air quality equipment.

Warning! Carbon Monoxide Kills!

Carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, can kill before anyone in your home is aware of it. However, in the rare case that an Oilheat system malfunctions, it gives off signals such as smoke and soot before producing CO.

Initial symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu, and include: headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, and dizziness. If you think you are experiencing CO poisoning, get fresh air immediately. Open windows and doors for more ventilation, turn off any combustion appliances, and leave your home. Then call your fire department and report your symptoms. Seek prompt medical attention.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends that every home should have a carbon monoxide alarm. CPSC also urges consumers to have a professional inspection of all fuel-burning appliances to detect deadly carbon monoxide leaks.

Dominick Fuel will be happy to help you install carbon monoxide detectors in your home — as well as inspect your boiler or furnace for any potential malfunctions. Please contact us.
