Identifying & Addressing

Common Problems

Many homeowners face heating challenges, especially as the seasons change. Recognizing these issues early can save you time and money:

Consequences of Inaction

What Happens If Not Treated

Neglecting heating system issues can lead to more significant problems: A malfunctioning heater can pose safety risks, including carbon monoxide leaks or fire hazards. Minor issues can become major expenses if not addressed promptly, leading to costly repairs or replacement. Ignoring problems can result in uncomfortable living conditions, affecting your well-being and quality of life. Continued strain on your heating system without proper maintenance can lead to complete system breakdowns, leaving you without heat during cold periods.

Tips for Maintenance

ONE

Change Filters Regularly

Keep your air clean and airflow unobstructed by changing filters every 1-3 months. 

TWO

Schedule Annual Inspections

Have a professional check your heating system each year before winter to ensure it’s in top shape.

THREE

Keep Vents Clear

Ensure all vents are unblocked by furniture or drapes for even heating.

FOUR

Seal Leaks

Seal any drafts around doors and windows to keep warm air in and cold air out.

FIVE

Thermostat Settings

Lower your thermostat when you are not home to save energy and reduce strain on your heating system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I change my air filters?

Changing your air filters regularly can impact the performance and health of your heating system. A good rule of thumb is to change one-inch disposable filters monthly. However, this can vary based on your environment and system usage.

What size unit do I need for my home?

The appropriate size for your heating and cooling unit depends on several factors, including the type of house, insulation, and attic space. An improperly sized system can lead to humidity issues and inefficient energy use. A qualified technician can determine the best size for your home.

Should I replace both my outdoor and indoor units at the same time?

Yes, typically. Outdoor and indoor units are designed to work together. Replacing both can ensure efficiency, performance, and could also provide warranty benefits.

Should I cover my outdoor unit in the fall and winter?

Covering your unit can prevent debris accumulation but ensure it is not operated with the cover in place. Cover it only if you plan to turn the unit off for an extended period.

What causes AC units to freeze up?

Low refrigerant levels, dirty evaporator coils, or defective blower motors can cause your system to freeze up. If you see ice, turn off the air conditioner and call for professional help.

How often should I have my heating and cooling system serviced?

It's recommended to have your system checked and cleaned twice per year, typically once every six months, to ensure it operates properly and safely.

Why do my ducts make popping sounds when the furnace starts or stops?

Popping sounds can indicate that your ducts may be too small for the airflow being generated. Consulting with a qualified technician can help resolve this issue.

What can I do about poor indoor air quality?

Regular dusting, vacuuming, and having a technician install devices like UV light units and special air filters can improve indoor air quality significantly.
