Personally Speaking.
Stretching Your Dollar
As a young boy, I explored my grandparents’ basement. It was dark and scary but full of mysterious things. It felt like a treasure hunt, and I unearthed old photos, strange tools, and even food. I wondered why jars and cans of food were stored down there.
With age, I realized that my grandparents were shaped by the Great Depression, a time when frugality was a necessity, not a choice. They learned to make every cent count in ways we hardly imagine now. We’ve lost that knack over the years, but it’s becoming relevant again, given our current economic challenges.
With the arrival of spring and summer on the horizon, it’s a good time to reflect on their wisdom. Our Spring Newsletter, titled “Stretching Your Dollar,” combines the thriftiness of older generations and current technologies that can enhance our daily living.
We’ll focus on how modern solutions like smart thermostats, all-season capabilities of modern heat pumps, and compact ductless mini-splits can maintain your home’s coziness, cut down on expenses, and ensure longevity and efficiency for years to come.
There’s an old saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” When you invest in an A/C maintenance plan, Grandma would nod in agreement. She understood the importance of maintaining your home, ensuring it remained clean and comfy through every season.
Grandpa could fix just about anything. However, today’s complex heating and cooling systems require trained HVAC technicians to keep our homes operating smoothly. If you need A/C repairs, remember that Hillside has the training and certification to fix your cooling systems.
At Hillside, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We uphold three generations of family values with over 70 years of dedicated service. Let’s journey together, blending the best of tradition with today’s advancements, making every dollar stretch towards a life of comfort.

EXTEND YOUR SYSTEM’S LIFESPAN
A/C and Heat Pump Maintenance Plans are essential for stretching the lifespan of your cooling system. Neglecting service can significantly shorten its lifespan, making regular maintenance essential. Preparing your air conditioning system for spring and summer ensures peak performance and durability. Our comprehensive 15+ point A/C tune-up improves performance, helps reduce bills, and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, ensuring efficiency and continuous comfort during the hottest months of the year. Similarly, Hillside Maintenance Plans aim to stop minor problems from becoming major issues. Having a maintenance plan reduces wear, prevents issues, and lowers repair and energy costs.
Hillside offers two different maintenance plans.
A plan for any need and all budgets. Our starter plan covers 15% off any service invoice, discounted tune-ups, and credit toward upgrade/replacement. Our top-level plan offers 50% off any service invoice and includes an annual tune-up (non-covered services and parts billed at regular service rates.) The percentage off coverage applies to parts and labor associated with repairs or replacements of defective parts due to normal wear and tear.

DO YOU REMEMBER…
STRETCH ARMSTRONG?
You can pull him, tug him, distort him, and manhandle him, and he returns to his original form! What a concept! The Kenner Company introduced a groundbreaking 10-inch latex doll that flew off shelves within minutes of restocking. His name was Stretch Armstrong, and he became a nationwide sell-out during the 1976 Christmas season.
Stretch Armstrong was possibly the largest action figure ever manufactured. By pulling on his limbs and torso, the toy could stretch to an impressive 4 feet.
Crafted from rubber latex, the figure’s skin encapsulated a filling made from boiled corn syrup, with moisture extracted to form a gel possessing flow characteristics and memory properties. Thus, when stretched and released, the figure reverted to its original shape, thanks to the elastomeric recovery of its rubber skin.
Like Stretch Armstrong, Armstrong Air amazes homeowners and HVAC professionals with its exceptional performance and reliability. Crafted with resilient materials and innovative technology, Armstrong Air ensures optimal home comfort and is the preferred brand among industry experts. Armstrong Air is synonymous with excellence, whether it’s gas, oil, electric furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, air handlers, or indoor air quality equipment. When you choose Armstrong Air, you’re choosing The Professional’s Choice.
DON’T TOY AROUND WITH A…
WINDOW AIR CONDITIONING UNIT
A window A/C unit can be a temporary solution for keeping you cool on a humid summer night. However, upgrading to a new central air conditioning system can significantly enhance your home’s comfort.
Central AC units, though bigger and more potent, are more energy-efficient than window air conditioners. Instead of deploying multiple window units to cool the house, central systems utilize one unit to circulate cool air through ductwork. Operating a single unit proves more efficient than managing several window units. Here are additional advantages:
Consistent Temperature Control: Central air units provide uniform cooling throughout your home, ensuring every room maintains a comfortable temperature.
Enhanced Indoor Air Quality: Central air systems offer advanced filtration, removing dust, allergens, and pollutants from the air, promoting a healthier living environment for you and your family.
Window ACs aren’t pretty: They stick out from the home, block sunlight, and are generally unattractive. In contrast, central AC units are mostly hidden indoors, with only registers, vents, and thermostats visible.

“Hillside is outstanding and a first-rate company. Removal of an old heating system and installation of a heat pump and tankless water heater was done in one day with two crews. The technicians worked as a team and were respectful of our property. In over 60 years of dealing with heating companies, we were most impressed with Hillside. This is a quality company.”
