Does Your Furnace Have a Repair Hangover from Last Winter?

Monday, October 10th, 2016

Here’s a situation that you don’t want to run into when the first chilly day of winter arrives: a furnace that breaks and stops working almost as soon as it turns on.

To Replace or Not to Replace? That Is the Annual Furnace Question

Monday, September 26th, 2016

Each fall, you need to ask if your furnace will make it through the next winter in good shape, performing at high energy efficiency levels, and without safety concerns. Eventually, you will need to have the furnace replaced—no mechanical device can last forever—and maybe this is the year to schedule the replacement job with our HVAC professionals.

End-of-Summer Issues to Watch for in Your AC

Monday, August 15th, 2016

It’s mid-August, and that means we’re coming closer to the end of summer. The air conditioner that works to keep your home cooled down has probably done a significant amount of work during the last few months, and that’s why it’s a wise idea to pay close attention to it during this time of year. Even with regular maintenance in spring to tune-up your air conditioner, all the strain of the summer workload can turn into malfunctions. The sooner you catch the problems, the less likely that you’ll end up trapped in the late summer heat with a busted AC.

The Different Air Filters for Your HVAC System

Monday, June 13th, 2016

If your home’s HVAC system is like most in the region, it consists of an air conditioner and furnace installed within a single cabinet that connects to ductwork and uses the same blower fan. Air enters the cabinet through a return air duct, and between this duct and the cabinet sits a special filter. The filter protects the internal components of the AC, furnace, and blower from dust that can lead to stress on the mechanical parts.
