For many homeowners, when they think of a furnace system, they imagine the gas-burning one that’s become so iconic. Don’t get us wrong, natural gas-fueled furnaces are some of the most efficient and powerful models on the market, and our team specializes in the installation, replacement, and repair of these units. Gas furnaces are iconic because they work, and they’re still available for customers who need them. But for the sake of this blog post, they’re not the only type of furnace available!
We’ve seen a fair amount of homes in our time with highly efficient and technologically advanced HVAC systems paired with old thermostats that might have been from the ’70s. While we’re not going to fault anyone for their aesthetic preferences (some of those old thermostats look pretty groovy!), we do think that it’s time that homeowners evaluated the importance of their thermostats. After all, a thermostat is a piece of technology that performs a vital function for a home!
Springtime is officially here! Before we get into talking about air conditioners, it would be a good idea to enjoy the season for what it is! Temperatures are going to be milder, which means you can spend more time doing fun things outdoors. We don’t really have to worry about heat for another couple of months at least, so why not start planning out the garden and start doing some hikes?
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.
Maintenance is important for a lot of appliances and equipment, not just your HVAC system. For instance, if someone told you that you never had to change the oil in your car, you’d look at them like they were crazy, right? Likewise, with cleaning down your countertops and surfaces, some things in your home need to be taken care of, or you’ll see a huge hit to your home comfort and an expensive cost down the line.
A new air conditioner can be quite an investment. Homeowners will pay for anything before deciding it’s finally time to purchase a new AC system. We completely understand, money doesn’t grow on trees and it’s becoming increasingly more important to save every penny you can! That being said, sometimes purchasing a new AC can be a way to save money if you’re looking at it from a long-term perspective.
Winter is in full force and by now you’ve probably noticed some strange things about your heater. You might have realized that it’s struggling to do its job. Or perhaps it’s not cooling certain rooms where you spend a majority of your day. Your bills are only getting higher as you keep it on longer and try to get every last degree of heat out of the system that you can. What gives?
There’s a phrase we hear all too often in this industry: “Well, it works, doesn’t it?” This phrase is our kryptonite because it can be the difference between a decent heating system and a heater that’s in terrible need of repair but suffers from neglect.
