    When Bellingham temperatures spike, aging AC systems work overtime and can fail. Pre-summer maintenance catches worn parts before the heat arrives.

    Newer Bellingham homes are sealed tightly for efficiency, but this can trap indoor pollutants. An ERV or HRV system provides fresh air without losing energy.
