Top Benefits of Geothermal Heating and Cooling
June 4th, 2018Important Signs That You Need Air Conditioning Repair
May 21st, 2018
It always seems to happen on the hottest days of the year. When you need your air conditioner the most, it runs into some difficulty.
Luckily there are a number of easy maintenance tasks you can manage on your own including regular filter changes. However, there are some cases where simple maintenance won’t do the trick. That’s when you need to call the experts.
So, how do you know when you’re facing an issue you can resolve yourself or if you need to call the experts? Here are some signs to watch for.
Don’t Hesitate if You Need Air Conditioning Installation
May 7th, 2018
Temperatures are rising every day, and soon enough, every home in the Fort Wayne area is going to need their air conditioner to run on a daily basis. If you need a new air conditioner installed in your home, now is the time to do so. Hesitating could be a big mistake.
Why? Because installing a new air conditioner now means that you’ll avoid a number of issues later on in the summer, such as inefficient operation and flat-out breakdowns. Dealing with such issues in the middle of a heat wave isn’t something anyone wants to deal with. Installing the system now means you’ll be covered by the warranty all summer long – and many summers to come as well – and the improved efficiency of a new unit means that those monthly air conditioning bills won’t be nearly as high as they might otherwise.
Size Your New Air Conditioner Carefully
April 23rd, 2018
With summer on the way, households with old or worn-down air conditioners need to think about installing new ones. In general, spring is the ideal time to install a new air conditioner. It allows you to enjoy the benefits of such a system – including improved efficiency and a reduced risk of breakdowns – and ensures that you won’t have to deal the higher costs of running an older system.
If you’ve decided to install a new air conditioner this spring, the very first thing you need to determine is the power output level of your system. Frankly, it may be the most important aspect of your air conditioner, and it needs to be balanced very carefully against the needs of your home.
Time to Get Your Air Conditioner Serviced!
April 9th, 2018
The weather is still comparatively cool here in April, and you probably haven’t had much call for your air conditioner yet this year. That’s going to change, however, and by the time the first hot day arrives, you’re going to need your air conditioner to function reliably, for days on end in some cases.
Naturally, no one wants their system to break down right in the middle of a heat wave, and a good repair service can move quickly to correct that problem if necessary. But we believe that it’s better to prevent the problem from starting in the first place than to deal with it after it’s already caused a lot of damage. In order to do that, you should schedule an air conditioning servicing session now, before the temperatures get much warmer.
Burners are a Key Part of your Heating System
March 26th, 2018
Heating season is coming to an end for another year, and homeowners throughout the area will be powering down their heating systems in favor of their air conditioners. That makes now a good time to schedule a maintenance session and have a professional technician give your furnace a close look.
Among the most important components in any forced-air furnace is the burner array, which provides the heat that makes the furnace function. Any technician worth their salt will give the burners a thorough examination as part of every maintenance session. As a homeowner, it pays for you to understand a little more about how the burners work and what happens when they run into trouble.
When to Call for 24/7 Emergency Furnace Repair
March 12th, 2018We’re approaching the end of the heating season as winter slowly turns into spring. Ironically, this is the period when furnace breakdowns and serious heating repair jobs become the most common: not because you’re running your system more often than normal, but because months of use have taken their toll. Unfortunately, a furnace breakdown isn’t exactly something you can just ignore. There are still plenty of cold days to come in the next few weeks, and without proper heating, your home could turn into a popsicle very quickly.
The good news is that our emergency furnace repair services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That means you can get a technician out in the middle of the night or over the weekend to get the problem corrected the right way. Having said that, emergency services do cost extra, and before you pay the additional cost, you need to determine if and when an emergency problem is called for. At the end of the day, only you can make that decision, but we’ve prepared a few tips to help guide you if you have some questions.
Problems to Look for Late in Heating Season
February 26th, 2018
As hard as it may be to believe, we’re moving into the tail end of winter, and the weather will begin to warm up in just a few weeks. That doesn’t mean that your heater will be getting a break, however.
Indeed, late the season is the time when your system is most vulnerable to repair issues: having been working on a daily basis for months, and subjected to increasing strain as wear and tear take their toll. You should keep an especially close eye on your heating system this time of year and call in a repair service if you detect any problems.
Things to Look for in an HVAC Service
February 12th, 2018Heating services are vital for keeping your furnace or boiler up and running during the depths of winter, just as air conditioning services are necessary to keep your home cool and comfortable in the summer. Ideally, your HVAC system will work as expected every time. We recommend periodic maintenance sessions from a qualified service to help with that.
Don’t Wait to Schedule Furnace Repair Services
January 29th, 2018We’re in the throes of winter here in Fort Wayne, IN, which means your household furnace is likely performing daily duty in an effort to keep your home comfortable. If your system needs repairs, you need to schedule them sooner rather than later. The more time goes on with your furnace operating with a problem, the more likely the damage is to spread and the greater the likelihood that it will shut down completely: requiring immediate action before your home resembles an ice box.
