Understanding the Defrost Controls for Your Heat Pump
Monday, November 11th, 2024Is a Gas Furnace Safe for Your Home?
Monday, October 28th, 2024Natural gas is a common energy source for homes to power stoves, ovens, water heaters, drying machines, boilers, and furnaces. That it’s so common across the country will tell you that using natural gas in your home is safe. If you use a natural gas furnace to heat your home—and it’s the most common type of heater in the US—you can feel comfortable that you don’t have a dangerous object, some kind of ticking time bomb, in the house.
That’s the basic answer to the question, “Is a gas furnace safe for your home?” It’s not the full answer, because no natural gas appliance can be 100% safe all the time. Any furnace requires regular maintenance as well as targeted furnace repair in Perry, GA when needed. We’ll explain the ways a furnace might become unsafe and what you can do to prevent it.

Watch Out for These Potential Heat Pump Problems
Monday, September 16th, 2024Heat pumps are one of the best options available for homeowners when it comes to taking care of their comfort. A heat pump does the job of both cooling and heating a home, and it does so at greater efficiency than the more conventional method of pairing an AC and a furnace.
If you have a heat pump, all you have to do when the cold weather starts this year is adjust the thermostat to provide heat. Your heat pump will easily switch over to its heating mode, reversing the direction that it works so instead of moving heat out of your house, it will move heat into it. That’s it!
But a heat pump can malfunction, just like any other piece of equipment. We want you to be aware that you may need heat pump repair in Perry, GA at some point, so we’re going to look at several potential heat pump issues.
Warning Sounds You May Hear From Your AC
Monday, September 2nd, 2024Air conditioning systems don’t run in complete silence, although advancing technology has made them quieter than ever. When the AC in your house is running, you’ll hear the whir of the fan motor and the hum of the compressor motor, the whoosh of air moving through the ductwork, occasional dripping from condensate moisture being removed from the system, and that’s about it.
If you do hear something different, or the AC is louder than normal, it’s sending you a sign that something is wrong. It may be a simple problem, or it may require you can call for expert HVAC service in Warner Robins, GA to diagnose the AC and see what needs to be fixed. Here is our guide to the common AC warning sounds to look out for.
Yikes! Why Are My AC Bills So High?
Monday, August 19th, 2024Unless you have an electric water heater or furnace, the air conditioner is the most electrically demanding indoor appliance in your house. When an AC switches to cooling mode, it can consume around 3.0 kilowatts per hour per hour. By comparison, just running a ceiling fan consumes 0.025–0.075 kilowatts per hour. When you have to run your AC regularly, you can expect to see an increase in your regular electric bills.
But if you’ve had the same AC for several years, you’ll have an understanding of how much that increase will be during the summer. When that increase starts to seem abnormally high and you know you aren’t doing anything different with cooling your home, it’s something to pay attention to. You may need to schedule AC repair in Warner Robins, GA with our team. You might even need to consider replacing the air conditioner.
We’ll look into why an AC might become a massive power-draining below. This will help you know what you need to do to get those costs under control.
Leaky Air Ducts—Why This Is a Big HVAC Problem
Monday, August 5th, 2024The ducts in your house are a key part of the HVAC system: you don’t get any circulation of air or heated or cooled air sent to the rooms without it. Unfortunately, the ducts can sustain damage from corrosion, wear, aging, poor installation, vermin and insects, and construction that can create air leaks.
But are a few holes in the ductwork a big deal? Yes! It’s a reason we offer duct services in Warner Robins, GA to test and seal ducts. Below we’ll go into why leaky air ducts are a problem that requires a swift professional solution.
