We talk a lot about heater problems on this blog. Many of them are problems that decrease the efficiency of your heater, make it unstable, or just make it not work the way you want it to. Rarely are there any immediate safety issues that have to be addressed the moment they occur. A problem with your heat exchanger definitely is one of them though.
“Preventative” is a word that should be welcomed with open arms in your home. When we talk about “preventative heating tips,” what we’re really talking about are ways you can avoid repairs in the future by preventing them today. Overall, preventative maintenance is the difference between a broken down heater in the middle of the winter and a heater that, while it might still struggle, will ultimately keep you safe and comfortable throughout its lifespan.
It’s getting colder and colder each evening. The temperatures steadily drop and as you get cozy in bed, you drift off to sleep knowing that your heater is churning out warmth that will keep you safe, secure, and sleepy. That’s all wonderful until your heater churns out a groan and shuts down completely, rendering your home cold and uncomfortable. This is a nightmare scenario.
That’s a good question. Regardless of how you’ve gotten to this blog post, either with dissatisfaction from your last heating job or because you’re a big fan of our dad jokes and intimate HVAC knowledge, you probably have a contractor you regularly work with. Homeowners might like having that one person they can always call, but what if that contractor isn’t as good as you think they are? What if you’ve been using the same heating contractor for a decade or more, without knowing that you’re losing money every time you call them?
Heat pumps are one of the best new technological advancements to come from the HVAC industry in the past twenty years. With technology that started in central air conditioners, they’ve now become adequate heating systems that are powerful enough to keep most of the country warm and cozy during the winter. However, that isn’t necessarily the case when the reversing valve gets stuck.
Heater maintenance is a vital service for your heater. Do you think you could escape it because this year you bought a heat pump to replace your furnace? Well, too bad, because you’ll need maintenance twice a year instead of just once. The fact of the matter is—if your heater is working hard, it’s going to need maintenance.
Short-cycling is a term we use fairly often in the HVAC industry. While we want homeowners to notice this kind of problem and call to have it fixed, it can sometimes be difficult. After all, many homeowners just think that if their air conditioner is on and working, then it’s probably fine to ignore. Unfortunately, that’s how problems like short-cycling can quickly turn into system breakdowns.
When you read the title of this post, you probably thought the following: “Wait, there are air conditioners other than a central AC?” While, yes this is absolutely the case, we don’t want to discourage you from investing in a central air conditioner if you know you’ll be using it for the right reasons. Central air conditioners are the most common type of air conditioning system for a reason, and we don’t want to continue without mentioning that.
If you were to answer that question before reading this blog post, what would you say? “The compressor compresses, right?” While you might be on the right track, unfortunately, it’s a bit more complicated than that.
