Perhaps the most common mistake homeowners make is waiting too long to call us. The sooner we get to a problem, the more money and inconvenience we can save you. When you wait, you risk the problem worsening and becoming a lot more expensive to fix.
Rising energy consumption is often one of the earliest signs you have an HVAC problem. You should also monitor how your system cycles. If it turns on and then off again quickly, the system is short cycling, which is inefficient. You should also listen to the sounds your system makes. Unusual noises may indicate a developing problem. A banging sound, for instance, suggests a blower problem or hard starting by your condenser unit.
HVAC Contractor for Installations
It’s an excellent time to consider a new HVAC system. Modern systems are more efficient than ever. That can translate to significant savings monthly and over the life span of the equipment. Many homeowners can also claim tax credits and rebates that can help offset the initial investment.
Upgrading your system is also an opportunity to reassess your needs. Many area homeowners, for instance, are pairing a heat pump with their furnace. The heat pump is just like an air conditioner when in cooling mode, and it provides more efficient heating than a furnace most of the time. On particularly cold nights, the furnace will take over to provide more robust heating.
Our team installs all types of HVAC equipment:
Boilers
Furnaces
Air purifiers
Heat pumps
Radiant heating
Air conditioners
Ductless mini-splits
Seasonal HVAC Maintenance Service
As a trusted HVAC contractor, we’re often asked how often to schedule preventative HVAC services. Our advice is to schedule twice a year. Book a cooling tune-up in the spring before the hot weather, and book a heating tune-up in the fall before the cold weather. This is good advice, even if you have a heat pump that provides both cooling and heating.
Most HVAC warranties require seasonal tune-ups as a condition of the coverage. Tune-ups increase efficiency and lower electricity and fuel consumption. It also makes it much less likely you’ll experience problems. The industry estimates that homeowners and businesses can avoid 90% of repairs through preventative maintenance.
