Humidifiers are amazing systems. When we started to realize that dry air was becoming a problem in our homes, boiling a pot of water or purchasing a small, portable humidifier just wasn’t enough. Manufacturers started creating groundbreaking systems known as whole-home humidifiers that could actually add humidity to the entire space of a home. This made the process more effective and these systems were also more energy-efficient since they could distribute humidity better and utilized a home’s HVAC system.
However, we’re not in the business of convincing homeowners in Wenonah, Glassboro, or Swedesboro about purchasing humidifiers. Your home is your home, and we believe everyone should choose how they treat the air in their homes. Instead, we’d like to talk about how you might benefit from a home humidifier in Gloucester County, and why humidification technology could be a huge boon for your house.
One of the toughest aspects of being a home or property owner is the fact that anything can go wrong. Unlike renting or living with family and friends, if your heating system breaks down, or your door hinges break off, it’s your responsibility to fix, which can be a lot to handle! We understand just how stressful this burden can be, and it’s what drives us to try and help our customers not just with great HVAC services in Avalon, Ocean City, and Sea Isle City, but to offer great advice too.
Have you ever seen those signs at a bus station or train station that say “if you see something, say something?” Well, the same concept could be applied to your home heating system. Unless you’re perfectly happy with the heat that your heater provides, the heating bills you pay, and the quiet nature of the system, you might have a problem that needs to be fixed. Simply put, if you notice something wrong or uncomfortable with your heating system, tell us!
What does the word “complete” mean to you, in terms of your home comfort? Does a completely comfortable home just mean that the temperature is exactly as specified on your home’s thermostat? Well, what if the air quality is abysmal and you’re constantly coughing, sneezing, or generally just feeling stuffy? We wouldn’t say the job is complete in that situation.
We’d like to be very clear before we get into the details of this blog. Maintenance is absolutely necessary for your heating system every year. When we say “routine” maintenance, what we’re really saying is yearly maintenance. This service gets more valuable the more regular it is because it allows our technicians to keep it running at peak efficiency and performance each and every year. One or two skipped maintenance appointments are just the start of a bad trend that could lead to a system breakdown or more.
Wouldn’t it be great to have the whole family over this year for Thanksgiving, so you can truly focus on what you’re grateful for? This is entirely possible, and the closer the holiday gets, the more excited homeowners are to cook some delicious food, share in some holiday traditions, and warmly embrace their loved ones. However, this might not be possible with furnace problems.
Humidifiers are extremely valuable in our neck of the woods. Right now it might be hard to feel that way, since we just came from one of the hottest and most humid summers in recent memory, but we hope you’ll change your mind. When temperatures start to drop in the winter, your health and the health of your heating system can begin to suffer. Energy and fuel bills might rise, and homeowners everywhere might get frustrated until the warm temperatures of next year arrive.
It’s maintenance season! Whether you’re switching the heat pump from cooling to heating mode, or you’re just dusting off your old furnace for another reliable winter of cozy comfort, maintenance is a must! Many homeowners in Avalon, Stone Harbor, and Sea Isle City believe that maintenance is an additional “optional” service that can sometimes come with a heater purchase. While we understand where that sentiment comes from, it’s unfortunately not very accurate.
HRV and ERV systems are quite interesting topics of conversation. When we mention their names, homeowners rarely know what they are or how they work. But when we talk about what they do, all of a sudden everyone wants an ERV or HRV machine. They provide a valuable service in your home that can’t be done by any other system.
Cooling season is coming to a close, even though it’s taking its sweet time. And heating season won’t be here for another few weeks. This is precisely the reason why some people love the fall, we get a brief period of time where temperatures are mild and we don’t even need our HVAC systems! It’s the perfect time to go check out some fall foliage, take that last hike of the season, and save money on your energy bills.
