What are the most common reasons that people call for heating service?

While it may not stay cold in our area for very long, winter can be quite severe. Routine maintenance checks are possible before the weather turns colder so that any potential problems can be fixed before they become more serious. In the colder months, we are often contacted by the following issues: Lighting problems: Need assistance lighting pilot lights. Heating system not operating properly.

How can I heat my house more efficiently?

The best, but most costly, solution to replacing your furnace is to get a more efficient furnace. High-efficiency furnaces can save 25% on your energy bills. This means that the cost of a new furnace will pay for itself quickly. You can set your thermostat at a higher temperature to increase efficiency in summer. However, you can reduce your heating costs by keeping your thermostat at a lower temperature during winter. To ensure heat evenly distributes throughout your house, do not block vents like you would in summer. You can save energy by closing the vents in rooms you don't use often. Ceiling fans can heat your home in winter even though it might seem counterintuitive. If the blades are turned clockwise, they will do the same. Ceiling fans can be installed to improve energy efficiency, both in the summer and winter. Annual furnace maintenance will keep your furnace running efficiently and prevent any possible problems.

What is a heatpump?

A heat pump is an air conditioning and heating system that combines both. A heat pump can be installed with any combination of indoor systems including dual-fuel and all-electric to keep you warm throughout the year. A heat pump heats your home by transferring heat from cold outside air. Sometimes, however, this heat is not sufficient to provide the desired warmth. To supplement the heat pump, many people turn to an electric heater or gas furnace.

Why should I choose equipment with variable speed fans?

Variable speed equipment is more efficient and provides a more comfortable environment. Traditional systems use only one-speed fans and only read temperature. Variable airflow systems use variable-speed fans, which are more efficient as they can run at lower speeds when it is not needed. They can also measure temperature and humidity. These systems can remove more moisture than traditional systems, which increases your comfort in hot weather. Variable-speed fans are quieter as they can run slower when necessary.

What is a 2-stage compressor?

A two-stage compressor works in two stages, as the name implies. Two-stage compressors can have one compressor with two stage, or two compressors. The unit will run in the lower stage the majority of time, but it is still at full capacity. On the hottest days, however, it uses stage two which is at maximum capacity. The system does not run at maximum capacity, so it is very efficient and will help you save money on your energy bills. Variable-speed compressors are an alternative to two-stage compressors. They have a lower capacity and provide greater efficiency.

What is a dual fuel system?

Dual-fuel systems include a heat pump, indoor coil and a gas furnace that work together to heat your house. The heat pump is responsible for most of the heating work. However, the furnace can be used to supplement it. The furnace will replace the heat pump if the temperature falls below a certain level. This system is very efficient and can save you money. To determine if dual-fuel systems are the right option for you, schedule a consultation.
