Heating & Air Conditioning Tips

Schedule a maintenance service call before the heating season begins. If there are any problems with your system, it’s better to find out before it is cold outside! Do the same for your cooling system before the sweltering season begins.

Replace your heating and cooling air filters every month that they are in use. Operating your system with old, dirty filters means energy is wasted and your system may even become damaged. While you’re at it, check and clean filters in your home’s air cleaners and humidifiers.

If you have a forced hot air heating system, check your furnace’s blower compartment and blower coils. Vacuum them if you see dirt and dust. You should also check the fan belt tension and lubricate the fan and motor bearings.

If you have a steam heating system, check the shut-off valve for any leaks.

Bleed hot water system radiators at least once a year.

Keep your furnace area clear of any debris or clutter. Not only is it a fire hazard, but it may also keep your system from operating efficiently.

To make sure you’re getting the most out of your heating system, keep the heating registers and vents throughout the house free of dust, dirt and pet hair by vacuuming them at least once a year, more often if you have pets with lots of hair!

Listen for odd sounds when your heating or cooling system kicks in. If you hear anything unusual, call us to head off problems before they become serious.

Signs it’s Time for a Heating Repair

As a homeowner, your heating system is essential for keeping your home warm and comfortable, especially during the colder months. But it’s easy to overlook early warning signs that your heating system needs professional attention. Here are the key signs that it may be time to schedule a heating repair.

1. Uneven Heating Throughout the House

Does one room feel like a sauna while another feels like a freezer? If your heating system isn’t distributing heat evenly, it’s a clear sign something’s wrong. This could indicate issues with the ductwork, thermostat, or the system itself. A technician can diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

2. Rising Energy Bills

If you notice a spike in your energy bills without changing your usage habits, your heating system might be working harder than it should to keep your home warm. This is often a sign of inefficiency caused by failing components or a need for maintenance.

3. Constant Cycling

A properly functioning heating system turns on and off at regular intervals. If your system is constantly cycling (turning on and off repeatedly) or running non-stop, it may signal a faulty thermostat, clogged filters, or other mechanical issues that need repair.

4. Unusual Smells

If you detect burning, musty, or foul odors coming from your heating system, something’s amiss. A burning smell could indicate dust buildup, while musty odors might point to mold growth in the ducts. Persistent unpleasant odors should always be checked out by a professional.

5. Weak Airflow

If your system isn’t producing strong airflow, your heater might be struggling due to clogged ducts, a failing blower motor, or other internal problems. Weak airflow can limit your heating system's efficiency and make your home less comfortable.

6. Your System is Old

Heating systems typically last around 15–20 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is nearing or has exceeded that lifespan and requires frequent repairs, it might be time to evaluate whether a replacement would serve your home better.
