Even if we have a mild winter ahead of us, you’ll still need your furnace to get through the next few months. And the last thing you’ll want to do is wake up one day to a furnace that’s blowing cold air, or just not blowing at all.
Here are five of the most common HVAC repair issues your furnace might face this winter, and how to deal with them.
It’s a bitter cold night in January, and you’re in the middle of a vicious winter storm. It’s the type of blizzard your kids will tell their kids about someday.
“It was the worst storm anyone could remember. There was so much snow, schools were shut down for two weeks. The state closed off all the highways, no one could get to work. Then, in the middle of it all, our gas furnace stopped working.”
If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to schedule furnace service right away and soon enjoy the comforts of a properly heated home.
But if you find yourself having to wait for someone to fix your heating system, here are some things you can do to stay warm in the meantime.
The official start of winter is just two weeks away, but we’ve already seen some snowfall here in eastern Pennsylvania.
Before winter begins in earnest, you might want to start thinking about protecting your outdoor air conditioning unit from wintry weather.
That’s why we’ve put together this list of things you should do before snow begins to fall.
You can keep your outdoor air conditioning unit operating at its best in a few simple steps:
Winter is almost here. And while many of us will spend the next few weeks getting ready for the holidays, folks in the home heating repair world are thinking about a different kind of preparation.
We’re talking about all the things you can do to get your home ready for the cold weather months. From scheduling HVAC maintenance to inspecting your roof for leaks, there are a lot of steps you can take in these final weeks of fall to keep your home warm, dry and safe.
Winter can take us by surprise. One day we’re heading out to work in a light jacket, the next we’re digging snow shovels out of the garage.
But when it comes to your HVAC system, it’s easy to get prepared for winter.
It’s also essential. It’s one thing to have to try to buy rock salt after a storm hits, and quite another to call out a heating repair company in the middle of a blizzard.
Winter and fall don’t always feel like winter and fall. Some years we find ourselves shoveling snow before Thanksgiving and doing our last minute Christmas shopping on a 65-degree day.
And at times like these, it’s tempting to switch back and forth from your heating system to your air conditioning to keep things comfortable.
But as any heating and cooling repair company can tell you, that’s an easy way to drive up your energy costs and put a strain on your HVAC system.
That’s why we’ve put together these tips for dealing with unseasonable temperatures without having to touch your thermostat. (They’ll also come in handy if you’re looking for ways to lower your heating and cooling bills.)
Fall is here!
Well, technically, fall has been here since September 21st, although most of September and the first week of October felt more like late summer.
Then we woke up on this morning – it’s mid-November as we write this – and we could feel it. There was a crispness in the air, the humidity had vanished, and autumn had truly arrived.
For nearly every misfortune we encounter, there is also what we’ll call the “if only…” moment.
You lock yourself out of the house, and you say to yourself “If only I’d checked my pockets before I walked out the door.”
You get stuck behind a slow driver on the way to work and think “Wow, I wish I’d left earlier.”
Or your furnace breaks down on a day when the temperature won’t top 20 degrees, and you realize, “I guess I should have had a heating repair company inspect my furnace when I had the chance.”
This is a point that we’ve made again and again, because we’ve seen far too many homeowners suffer through a brutally cold stretch of winter thanks to an issue that we might have caught during routine furnace service.
Ah, fall.
The gorgeous colors of the changing foliage. The comforting smell of a nearby bonfire. The…sinking feeling of opening an unexpectedly high heating bill?
Nothing can suck the enjoyment out of the season like the realization that you’ll be paying more than you expected to heat your home.
Fortunately, there are things you can do to make your heating system run more efficiently, which will in turn lower your energy costs. Here are a few ways you can help your HVAC system this fall:
It’s almost Halloween, and that has us thinking about horror movies, and all the different types of horror movies there are to choose from.
There are zombie films, like Night of the Living Dead, stories about sinister Satanic forces like Rosemary’s Baby or The Omen, or monster movies like Alien or The Thing.
Then there’s the haunted house. We’d argue that these movies are scary because they’re so relatable. We know deep down that zombies or vampires aren’t real, but we’ve also been home alone at night, wondering What Could Have Made That Noise?
We’re not saying ghosts aren’t real, but most of the time, an unexplained noise is usually a sign that you need an HVAC repair service, not an exorcist. Here are a few of the ways that your heating and cooling system might be “haunting” your house.
