When the heating system stops working in a home, the phone call that heating contractors get often goes as follows: “I think my thermostat stopped working. We’re not getting any heat.”
In our area, we cannot go for very long without a working heating system. When the heater breaks down, you need it to start working again ASAP, especially if there are seniors or small children in the home, and if you have no alternative means of keeping warm.
The heating and air conditioning (HVAC) industry is one that’s often changing. New technologies allow for better efficiency and greater home comfort.
Most technicians recommend that homeowners seek out services for their furnaces once a year. This can improve efficiency for the winter and take care of some of the wear and tear the heater may have developed over the year.
Looking for a way to save money on heating and cooling without getting rid of your older HVAC system? One simple change can make it a lot easier for you to stay comfortable, and it can help you regain control over your monthly heating and cooling costs.
Today’s furnaces and AC systems are safer and sturdier than they have ever been before. But this does not make them any easier to service.
Your furnace has been a huge help through the years, but at some point you’ll have to move on to a new unit. Of course, you don’t want to spend the money unless it’s necessary.
There are many parts of our state that are pastoral or rural, leaving many homeowners getting their home’s water from a well. This isn’t a bad thing, but water that comes directly from a well tends to be “hard water,” aka, water that has high mineralization.
If you need to install a new heating system either now or in the imminent future, one of the most important things you need to assess before installation is the efficiency of the system(s) you are reviewing. The major types of heating systems – furnaces, boilers and heat pumps – come with an assessment you can easily see right on the packaging.
It’s pretty frustrating listening to the sounds of your furnace starting up and then almost immediately shutting down. If you hear this happening, it usually means that your system isn’t igniting.
