5 Reasons That NOW is the Time to Replace Your Inefficient HVAC System

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

1. Lowering Your Utility Bills
Whether you realize it or not, your current furnace could be costing you more than it should in heating bills. If your furnace is 15-20 years old, it’s probably not heating your home as efficiently as the newer models with higher AFUE ratings. Even if your heating system has been replaced within the last ten years, the technology has advanced enough to consider an upgrade.
2. Fewer Repairs
Repair costs can add up if you are constantly repairing your furnace. Routine maintenance for your furnace can help reduce the need for repairs, but as furnaces age, they tend to need more repairs and replacement parts. If you need frequent repairs for your furnace, it may be time to replace it with a newer one.
3. More Consistent Heat
While maintaining consistent temperatures throughout your home involves several factors, such as insulation and thermostat control, your furnace could also be the reason you aren’t getting enough heat to all parts of the house. If some rooms are colder than others, or if your heating bills have recently gone up, it may be time for a furnace replacement.
4. Safety
There’s higher potential for safety concerns with older or poorly maintained furnaces. In addition to fire hazards, carbon monoxide poisoning is another serious threat. When the heat exchanger stops working because it’s corroded or faulty, carbon monoxide can leak into the home. If you’ve had your furnace for more than 20 years, it could create safety hazards that you may be unaware of.
5. 25 Months 0% Interest with 25 Equal Monthly Payments
We know some of you are waiting for a great opportunity to switch from your old inefficient heating and air conditioning system. For a limited time, we have 0% interest for 25 months (with approved credit). 25 equal monthly payments required. No lengthy applications and approvals within minutes!

5 Top Reasons to Hire a Licensed and Insured HVAC Contractor

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

Believe us we know that as a Licensed and Insured HVAC contractor, we will not have the best pricing against these “fly-by-nighters”. But we feel the reasons far outweigh the pricing they can give to a homeowner.

1.  Licensed and Insured HVAC Contractors will be there in the years ahead. They are not “fly-by-nighters”. They have done what is required to be a “real” business. Licensed contractors won’t have the prices that “fly-by-nighters” have, but they will be there for any warranty or problems you may experience.

2.  You could be liable if the “fly-by-nighter” gets injured doing the work at your home. That’s right, without the license and insurance that a legitimate HVAC Contractor is required to have, you are liable for injuries on your property.

3.  You could be violating the law. Not only isn’t this “fly-by-nighter” not paying the proper taxes and permit costs to your locality, you can’t be sure where your new equipment came from.

4.  You void any equipment warranty. Manufacturer’s require a licensed contractor to install HVAC equipment in order for your warranty to be upheld. It is being suggested that the license number of the contractor will be required in order to register for your warranty.

5.  Safety for your family. Last but in no way least! If your “fly-by-nighter” doesn’t do your wiring properly or your ventilation properly, you could be risking your family’s health and safety.

5 Tips for Prolonging the Life of Your HVAC System

Friday, May 11th, 2012

We thought this week we would discuss how to prolong the life of your HVAC unit. It’s a major household expense and everybody likes to get their money’s worth!
1. Regular Maintenance. Obviously, you have regular maintenance done on your vehicle even when it is new. It’s the same for your HVAC unit. This enables you to keep within your warranty plus heads off any problems with older units! If you want more information, we recommend you check out this website:http://www.amana-hac.com/Home/HeatingCooling101/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/PreventiveMaintenanceFAQ/tabid/177/Default.aspx
2. Changing your filter! A clogged filter can obstruct the air flow for your unit in both the air conditioning and heating modes. If you have animals, it’s even faster to become clogged!
3. Keeping debris and shrubs away from you unit. A clean unit is able to operate at the best ability it can. When it has shrubs and debris (like lawn clippings, leaves and trash blown there behind the unit), it can obstruct air flow thru the outside unit and get into the mechanical workings of your unit.
4. Avoid unnecessary starts and stops: Instead of shutting your unit off when you are not there (during the working day or vacations), change your thermostat settings. In the summer raise the thermostat setting to 76-80. If you shut it off and your house reaches 85-90 degrees inside, your system is going to go thru unnecessary strain to get down to the temperature that you are seeking.
5. If you are having issues, don’t keep lowering the temperature on your thermostat, call us instead and SHUT YOUR UNIT OFF!
