Understanding Metuchen’s Seasonal HVAC Demands

New Jersey’s variable climate creates distinct heating and cooling challenges throughout the year, and Metuchen residents experience the full spectrum of weather extremes. During winter months, when temperatures regularly drop below freezing, heating systems work overtime to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. We specialize in furnace maintenance and repair services that keep systems running efficiently through the coldest periods, reducing energy consumption while ensuring consistent warmth. Our comprehensive evaluation process examines heat exchangers, burner assemblies, safety controls, and ventilation systems to identify potential issues before they become costly emergencies.

Summer in Metuchen brings its own set of challenges, with humidity levels often exceeding 70 percent and temperatures climbing into the 90s. Air conditioning systems must work harder to remove moisture from indoor air while maintaining cool temperatures, placing significant strain on components like compressors, evaporator coils, and condensate drainage systems. Our AC repair and maintenance services address these seasonal stresses through systematic inspections that include refrigerant level checks, electrical connection testing, thermostat calibration, and comprehensive cleaning of critical components. Come home to comfort knowing your cooling system has been thoroughly serviced by professionals who understand the specific demands placed on HVAC equipment in this region.

First Choice came out today for my annual A/C maintenance, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Lenny Z was the technician — he was professional, courteous, and right on time. He made sure everything was running efficiently before he left. I highly recommend First Choice for anyone looking for reliable, top-notch service for their HVAC !

I had my annual maintenance today for my boiler and mini splits and couldn’t be happier with the service. Angel Garcia from First Choice Plumbing and HVAC went above and beyond.

You can tell he truly loves what he does, and that the company really values its people. Highly recommend Angel and the First Choice team!

courteous and respectful.

John M

We had Alex Dicrosta of First Choice come check our furnace today because it was leaking water when the AC was on. Alex diagnosed the issue quickly that it was a clogged pipe going from the water pump. He unclogged the pipe and confirmed that was the cause of the leak. Alex is extreme knowledgeable, friendly, and customer focused. He even checked the rest of the unit to make sure everything was working properly before he left. I will definitely request Alex the next time I need AC or heating service from First Choice.

Angel Garcia is the best!!! First Choice has just been great about upgrading my systems. They are neat and their work is impeccable and very pretty.

He feels like my personal consultant, but all the folks there are so helpful and responsive. Highly highly recommend them.
