Emergency services

While a properly functioning HVAC system is essential for keeping your home comfortable, it's important to be prepared for the occasional emergency. Homeowners will experience a handful of different emergencies with their HVAC systems, and knowing when to call a technician can save you time and money. One of the most common HVAC emergencies is a loss of coolant. This can happen if there is a leak in the system, and it can cause the unit to overheat and shut down. Another typical emergency is a clogged air filter. A clogged air filter can restrict air flow, causing the unit to work harder and ultimately leading to a breakdown. Other HVAC emergencies include frozen coils, burned-out motors, and tripped circuit breakers. Some of these issues will require the help of a technician.

Heater installation and repair

As water heaters age, they become less efficient and more likely to break down. If you're noticing any of the following problems, it may be time to replace your old water heater.

The water from your tap isn't as hot as it used to be. This could be due to a build-up of sediment in the tank, which insulates the heating element and prevents it from doing its job properly.

You're starting to see water leaks around the base of the heater. This is usually a sign that the tank is rusting and failing.

Your energy bills have gone up, even though you're not using hot water more than usual. This could be because older water heaters are less efficient than newer models.

Heater Maintenance and repair

Problems with old water heaters are not only expensive to repair but can also shorten the lifespan of the heater. The most common issues are corrosion and deposits. Corrosion is caused by oxygen in the water, which oxidizes the heater's metal. On the other hand, deposits are caused by the build-up of minerals in the water, which can clog pipes and reduce efficiency. To prevent these problems, it is important to regularly flush the heater and to descale it every few years.

Furnace installation and replacement

Many people depend on furnaces to keep their homes warm during the winter. However, furnaces can also be a source of problems. One common issue is old age. As furnaces get older, they become less efficient and more likely to break down. If your furnace is more than 20 years old, it may be time to call a technician for a replacement.

Another potential problem is poor maintenance. Like any other type of machinery, furnaces must be regularly cleaned and serviced to function properly. If you neglect to maintain your furnace, it will become less efficient and more likely to break down. Lastly, furnaces can also be a fire hazard. Call a technician immediately if you notice any signs of a gas leak, such as a hissing sound or a rotten egg smell.

Furnace Repair and maintenance

The first step is to understand how your furnace works and what can go wrong. Your furnace has a burn chamber where fuel is burned to create heat. The heat is then transferred to the air by a set of coils. The blower circulates the warmed air through your ductwork and into your home.

Several things can cause your furnace to stop working, such as a dirty burner, a cracked heat exchanger, or a faulty blower motor. To prevent your furnace from breaking down, it must be serviced regularly. This includes cleaning the burner assembly and checking for cracks in the heat exchanger. In addition, you should change your filter every few months and ensure that nothing is blocking the airflow around your furnace.

Boiler services

Old boiler units usually cause loud banging coming from the walls. This is due to the old boiler unit settling and becoming unsecured over time. The old boiler unit will eventually need to be repaired or replaced as it will become less efficient and cause your energy bills to increase. Upkeep of old boiler units is vital to maintain efficiency and prevent future issues. If you hear a loud banging noise from your boiler unit, it is likely time for some repair or replacement. Don't ignore the problem, as it will only get worse with time. Be sure to consult a professional to get the best advice for your situation.

Radiant heating services

Radiant heating is a type of system that provides targeted heating to specific areas in a room rather than evenly heating the entire space. There are several advantages to using radiant heating instead of traditional HVAC systems:

• Radiant heating is more energy efficient because it only heats the areas that need to be heated rather than the entire room.
• Radiant heating is more comfortable because it doesn't rely on circulating air to distribute heat.
• It is less expensive to install because it doesn't require ductwork.

Filter replacement

The average person spends a lot of time indoors, and the quality of the air inside our homes and offices can have a major impact on our health. That's why it's essential to make sure your HVAC system is equipped with clean filters. Over time, filters can become clogged with dust, pet hair, and other debris, making them less effective at trapping harmful particles. If left unchanged, dirty filters can cause a number of problems, including reduced airflow, increased energy consumption, and reduced efficiency. For these reasons, it's important to regularly check and replace your HVAC filters. By doing so, you can help ensure that the air in your home or office is clean and healthy.

Ductless heating and air systems

A ductless HVAC system is a heating and cooling system that doesn't rely on ductwork to distribute air. Instead, it uses individual air handlers mounted on the walls or ceiling of your home. Ductless HVAC systems have a number of advantages over conventional methods:

• They're much more efficient because they don't lose heat or cool air through leaky ductwork.
• They're easier to install because you don't have to run ductwork through your walls or ceiling.
• They're more versatile because you can control each air handler individually.
• They're more affordable.

Indoor air quality products

It is a little-known fact that the air we breathe indoors can be up to five times more polluted than the air outdoors. This is due to a variety of factors, including the off-gassing of furniture, carpets, and building materials, as well as the presence of dust, mold, and other allergens. Fortunately, there are a number of different air quality products that can help to improve indoor air quality. HEPA filters are designed to remove 99.97% of airborne particles, while activated carbon filters can effectively remove odors and VOCs.

Smart home thermostats

One way to save even more money on your energy bills is to upgrade to a smart home thermostat. Smart thermostats have a number of advantages over traditional thermostats. First, they are much more accurate in terms of regulating temperature. This means that you won't have to waste money heating or cooling your home to compensate for a faulty thermostat. Second, smart thermostats can be controlled remotely, so you can ensure that your home is at the perfect temperature when you arrive home from work or vacation.

UV air sanitizers

As the coronavirus pandemic has made clear, maintaining good indoor air quality is essential for both public health and peace of mind. In the past, the best way to improve indoor air quality was to open windows and doors to let in the fresh air. However, that is often not an option in today's urban environments. UV air sanitizers are a new type of technology that can help to improve indoor air quality by killing bacteria and viruses. UV light is known to be effective at killing harmful microorganisms.
