We know that when it’s cold outside and your home’s furnace stops working, you’ll want it repaired as fast as possible. This makes it tempting to see if you can do the repairs yourself—maybe you can find an online guide that will show you how. You might even be able to save money if you do the repairs on your own.

There’s nothing wrong with doing basic troubleshooting with your furnace to see if there’s a simple reason why it isn’t running properly. But, troubleshooting is different from trying to actually repair a furnace: opening up the cabinet and using tools to fix a problem. We can’t stress this enough: do not attempt to repair your furnace if you cannot find a basic explanation for why it’s not working. Always call for licensed professionals for your furnace repairs in Decatur, GA.

Any natural gas-burning appliance in a house has the potential to become hazardous. This is true of any appliance that burns any type of fuel. Electrical devices can create dangers from high voltage shocks or electrical fires.

Because of the power of gas furnaces, people often find them intimidating and worry about them more—but if they were significant dangers, they would never be allowed into residential homes in the first place.

Choosing Your Next Heater: What You Need to Know

November 22nd, 2021

It is relatively possible to make it through an entire winter without a heating system in your home. We say it’s possible but that definitely does not mean that it is preferable. If you have a heater that needs to be replaced though, you might be looking at attempting to get through the next several months without a source of reliable warmth. We’d like to help you avoid that discomfort and hassle.

When it comes to getting a new heating system in your home, there is a lot to take into consideration. You don’t want to choose the wrong system and end up paying more money for less comfort. But this doesn’t mean that you should just throw up your hands and choose a space heater either.

Selecting a new heating system is no small decision. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when you need to find your next heater.

Why Is My Heater Shutting Off Early?

November 22nd, 2021
gas-burners-furnace

The HVAC system in your home is designed to turn on the heating system when the thermostat registers that the household needs warmth. The thermostat signals the heater to start its heating cycle, and then it runs until the thermostat detects the home’s temperature has reached its target setting. The thermostat then has the heater cycle down until it’s needed again.

As the winter temperatures continue to fall, you’ll notice your heating system will run in longer cycles. This is normal: your house will lose more heat to the outside, requiring the heater to run for longer to reach your desired temperature. (We recommend a setting of 68°F, which not only makes the heater run less often but also slows down heat loss to the outdoors.) 

But you may be experiencing something … different. A heater that seems to run in shorter and shorter cycles, shutting off early before it can heat up the house enough, then turning back on a short time later and repeating the process. Why is your heater doing this? And what can you do about it?
