You pay enough for your home’s heating and cooling! You certainly don’t want to pay extra without getting anything more for your money. Unfortunately, that’s what most people are already doing. Why? Leaks in your home’s ductwork lead to serious costs, both in energy bills and in other HVAC issues.
Are your ducts leaking? Here’s how to find out.
Many things in your life will let you know, loud and clear, when they’re having a problem. It might be as small as your coffee maker or as large as your car, but when you hear it making a strange noise, you know something’s wrong. HVAC systems also may make odd sounds when they need service. What does that noise indicate? What kind of repairs do you need? Let’s take a listen.
There are many reasons why heating maintenance should be a top priority for you every fall. It improves air circulation through the heating system, prevents excess friction and wear and tear, catches little things that could turn into big problems down the line, boosts efficiency and effectiveness, and even extends the lifespan of your heating system.
But none of those reasons matter quite as much as this one: safety. Your wellbeing is the top priority of our technicians. Without heating maintenance, your heating system could cause serious safety hazards in your home. Maintenance keeps you safe! Here’s how.
Turning your heat on for the first time when cold weather hits shouldn’t be a thriller. It shouldn’t be a gamble. You don’t want to be wondering if it will actually work, and you certainly don’t want to discover that your furnace is making a strange or terrible smell!
What’s causing that odor? Is it an emergency? Do you need urgent heating repairs, or is your furnace okay? We’ll explain the different smells you might notice coming from your heating system, and help you figure out if you have a serious problem or not.
Nothing lasts forever. But some things are so much a part of the house that we don’t always think of them needing to be replaced. Your toilet may have been in your home for many years. Maybe it was there when you bought your house, and you have no idea how long it’s been there! How can you tell if a toilet needs to be replaced? Here are the key signs that it’s time for a new toilet.
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” It’s one of the truest clichés when it comes to the care of your home. Any time that you can stop a problem from happening in the first place, do it! It’ll save you a much greater expenditure of time and money later on. And this time of year, when you’re considering prevention, your furnace should be at the top of your list.
Whether it’s gas or electric, brand-new or many years old, your furnace requires annual maintenance. This will help it to run more efficiently, and to keep your home more evenly heated. It’ll stop serious safety hazards from developing. Perhaps best of all, annual furnace maintenance will massively reduce the frequency of furnace repair needs. Here’s how it works.
It’s that time of year again! We need to make that autumn transition from cooling to heating, and think about making sure that our HVAC systems are ready for winter. For some, that means shutting down an air conditioner and preparing a heating system that hasn’t been running for several months. But for others, it means that our heat pumps need to switch from cooling to heating.
Heat pumps are much like air conditioners, but they aren’t exactly the same. It’s important to know the differences and how they affect the maintenance and repair needs of the system. If you’ve got questions about heat pump maintenance, we’ve got the answers for you. Check out this helpful FAQ.
