How often do you place a service request for one of our friendly Service Technicians to come and replace your air filter?

If your answer is anything beyond 90 days then it may be time to place a service request through your Cortland+ app!
As a friendly reminder, air filters should be changed every 60 to 90 days. Changing your air filter on a consistent basis prevents dirt and debris in your filter from obstructing air flow and increases free movement of air flow for improved indoor comfort!

Today is Juneteenth, a day of remembrance and celebration. On June 19th, 1865, enslaved individuals in Texas were finally informed of their freedom, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. This day reminds us of the progress made towards equality, the work that still lies ahead in pursuit of equity for all people, and the resilience of those who fought for freedom and justice.

‼️Too hot for you = Too hot for them‼️

If you are unsure if it may be too hot for your animal's paw, touch the ground with your hand for 3-5 seconds. If it hurts you, it could hurt them!

Take your fur baby on a walk before the sun is rising or wait till the sun is setting. We all love this time of year but let's keep those fur babies safe 🐕🐩🐾

Did you know that 60w LED Light Bulbs, on average, can last for 17,500 hours?

Here at Cortland Craig Ranch, we use LED Light Bulbs that are 5000k. If you want to replace your bulbs with something brighter, we recommend finding a bulb that is over 5000k. Do not go over 60w, as this will blow fuses and cause your breaker to trip. If you want some specific recommendations, stop one of our Service Team Members and they would be happy to help 🙂
