Your Heating System’s Report Card

November 14th, 2022

Yep, you heard that right! Just because your heating system doesn’t go to school or take any tests, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t grade its performance every few months or years. Your heater provides a valuable service to your home and it’s important that it keeps doing so efficiently, otherwise you’ll be the one paying the consequences with your own money.

Does your heating system need to work perfectly? Of course not, but a furnace that’s barely functioning, or running with frequent repair needs and obnoxious noises is one that’s in dire need of furnace replacement in Warsaw, IN. We’re just trying to help customers figure out if they need maintenance, repairs, or a whole system replacement before their unit breaks down on the coldest day of the year.

Ready to get started? It might be helpful to pull up a notepad or a pen so you can take some notes to have with you when you grade your own heating system.

What Might Be in Your Ducts?

October 17th, 2022

Air ducts are a spot in your home reserved for one thing only: air. That’s not just because they’re called “air ducts,” but because it relates to their sole function. Air ducts are supposed to bring cool, conditioned air in the summer (and heated air in the winter) throughout your home and deposit it into the rooms where you can feel it. Without air ducts, you’d simply sit in your uncomfortable room while your AC or heater churned out the temperatures you wanted but only in the area that it worked.

Air ducts are great, but the truth is that they don’t get nearly the attention they deserve. Sometimes they fall into disrepair (which we can help with), but even when they’re in relatively good shape, they’ll get covered in contaminants. Those contaminants can end up in your breathable air if you don’t hire a team for air duct cleaning service in Warsaw, IN.

3 Things to Avoid With Sub-Par Commercial HVAC

September 12th, 2022

Commercial air conditioning really matters. In fact, some might argue that it matters more than residential air conditioning. At least with a residential system, a full breakdown or faulty system is going to lead to a family or just a few people being uncomfortable. But with commercial air conditioning, a broken or malfunctioning air conditioner could be absolutely devastating to your bottom line. Customers might head to a different bakery or retail shop, and that split-second decision could lose you a patron for life.

Of course, most business owners understand this. If your place of work is too hot and uncomfortable, you’re likely already aware of this fact. That’s why we want to make sure we get across that our team has specific expertise when it comes to commercial AC repair in Warsaw, IN.

Let’s Learn About the Compressor

August 8th, 2022

Compressors and air conditioners go hand in hand. The compressor is kind of like the engine of the system if you’re comparing your AC to a car. Without it, the air conditioner doesn’t really do much other than blow lukewarm air through the vents of your home. The compressor is the component that turns your air conditioner into an air conditioner, allowing it to actually cool the air that goes through the system. It’s so important that it warrants its own blog post.

Today, we’re going to talk about AC compressors in Warsaw, IN. We’ll talk about what they are, how they work, and why exactly a compressor problem is a big deal. Our hope is that after this blog post, you’ll be ready to invest in the right services to keep your system in good condition, or to replace an old system with a faulty compressor.

3 Major Benefits to AC Maintenance

June 13th, 2022

We talk a lot about the importance of AC maintenance on this blog, but sometimes we can get lost in the weeds. An HVAC professional can focus so much on telling customers to invest in AC maintenance, that they can forget to talk about why it’s so important to schedule this kind of service. After all, for many customers, a quick online search is the only method of obtaining this kind of information, so we need to switch our focus and talk about three major benefits of maintenance.

When you think of AC maintenance in Columbia City, IN, you probably think of an unnecessary service—something that you can invest in if you want to feel good or pay for a pro to just “check things.” The truth is much more complicated.

A Smoking Heater Is a Red Flag

February 14th, 2022

Have you ever heard the phrase “where there’s smoke, there’s fire?” Well, this phrase is almost always going to be true, since smoke is a direct product of fire. Our homes aren’t really heated by “fire” anymore, so we don’t deal with smoke problems indoors like we used to. Fires, especially residential fires, are a lot less common than they were in the old days.

However, we’re not out of the woods yet. The most common type of heating in Plymouth, IN is the gas furnace. They’re affordable, reliable, and they’re incredibly efficient. They heat your home using the heat that’s brought from the combustion of natural gas. Today, we’d like to talk about a situation that we hope you never encounter.

If there’s smoke coming from your furnace, then there’s likely something very serious going wrong. Let’s talk about why there might be smoke and what you can do about it.
