Furnace Repair

Whenever a furnace starts acting up, you may notice a few signs that indicate that a problem is occurring. Although some signs are easily noticeable, others may not be. But regardless, if it’s a big issue or a smell one, it’s always best to address the problems as soon as you see them.

You can also perform some troubleshooting which might include checking your thermostat and making sure that it’s on and set to “auto”. You can also check to see if the furnace filter is clogged and check the circuit breaker to make sure that it hasn’t tripped.

However, if you’ve checked these three and there seems to be no problem, then more things should be going on with your furnace. In this case, it might be best to call a licensed HVAC contractor.

Some signs you need to watch out for to see if your furnace needs repair would include:

• Unusual furnace smells, e.g., burning smell, rotten egg smell, and other odors
• Odd noises, e.g., screeching, banging, clanking, or grinding
• The unit is difficult to start
• Inadequate heat provided
• Poor air quality
• Tripped carbon-monoxide detector
• A rise in home heating costs

In other words, if your pilot light is discolored, there are off smells detected, or your carbon monoxide alarm is not working, then you need an emergency furnace repair as these issues are serious and can potentially be very dangerous for you and your family.

Boiler Repair

During winter, we can always depend on our boiler to provide us with the necessary heat to help us feel warm and safe even in the most frigid temperatures. Many homes also use boiler heating systems for domestic hot water. So, we can definitely say that a properly functioning boiler is very crucial as it fulfills two very essential needs.

Unfortunately, many homeowners fail to recognize when their boiler is having issues. Because of this, their house is sometimes left with no heat or hot water until a boiler repair is scheduled.

These situations often put the home and its occupants in a very dangerous position. Not only do they have to spend very cold days without heating, but they also have to pay higher boiler repair costs since they will have to fork out the money for an emergency HVAC repair service.

With this said, it’s vital for homeowners to recognize the signs when a boiler is having problems. Here are some things to watch out for:

• Unusual boiler noises
• Water leakage
• Strange smells
• Slow water heating
• Rising energy bills
• Hot and cold spots

When you observe any of the signs mentioned above and other unusual boiler performance, call us right away.

Furnace Installation

All heating systems will reach a point where they need to be replaced; that’s inevitable. However, most homeowners try to hang on to their old systems as long as possible. So they choose to pay for costly furnace repairs repeatedly because they think it’s less expensive than buying a new one instead.

This is something that we definitely understand, considering that furnace installations aren’t very cheap. Unfortunately, although the idea of just sticking to furnace repairs repeatedly sounds tempting, it’s not the most economical decision at all.

Old furnaces are known to run inefficiently due to normal wear and tear. On top of that, there have been many technological advancements in the HVAC industry, making modern-day furnaces far more efficient than furnaces manufactured ten years ago.

In other words, if you’re holding onto an old heating system, you are just doing yourself a disservice. Your system would most likely be running inefficiently, which would cost you more in your heating and furnace repair costs.

With that said, homeowners would benefit more by opting for a furnace installation. Here are some of the major benefits you’ll enjoy when you choose to get a new heating system:

• Improved levels of energy efficiency
• Reduced home heating costs

• Improved comfort
