Balancing My HVAC System

A few months ago, I realized that something was wrong with my HVAC system. It seemed like no matter what I did, some rooms were hot and some rooms were simply getting too much cooled air. Instead of trying to troubleshoot my air conditioner on my own, I called out a professional HVAC repairman for help. They went through each room of my house when the system was running to measure the outgoing airflow and to check for issues. They discovered some serious balance problems, which they resolved after running a few extra lines. Check out this blog to learn more about HVAC in general.

Avoid These Wintertime Woes With Routine Heater Maintenance

After being outdoors all day or even just for a few moments in between driving and doing errands during the winter, your home can feel like the best place in the world due to the warmer temperature indoors. While using your heater everyday can be a luxury that you take for granted, you will certainly notice the absence if it stops working.

In order for your heating system to continue performing as well as it should throughout winter, you need to make sure that routine maintenance is done. If not, you should consider the possibility of some of the following problems occurring this winter.

Expensive Repairs Needed Suddenly

Wintertime can often mean a lot of extra expenses, from buying Christmas gifts to replacing snow tires on your car. One expense that you don't want to experience during winter is major repairs to your heating system. Not only will these repairs cost you money, they can also mean your home will not be kept warm for days or weeks until the repair is taken care of.

Whether your home has forced air heating, radiant heat, or geothermal heating, major repair work will cost you money and the time it takes for the work to be done can make your home practically unlivable depending on the climate you live in. 

Some Areas of the Home Aren't Kept Warm

It can be frustrating for some rooms in the home to be cooler than others during the winter, especially if this includes the bedrooms. In order for your entire home to be kept comfortable, the heating system needs to be maintained on a regular basis. Dust, debris, loose parts, and other issues can lead to your entire home not being kept warm consistently.

With routine maintenance, each room should be kept at the same temperature--a necessity when every room is used by your family.

Heating Costs Are Higher Than Expected

While you may be comfortable with using your heating system throughout all of winter, you may not be prepared for the bill to suddenly spike up more than normal. A common reason why your heating bill may be much higher than you are used to is due to the heater not working properly. A thorough cleaning and any needed repairs can help get everything working again so that your heating bill will not unexpectedly rise.

 With the average cost of repairing a heater around $267, you need to consider the necessity of routine maintenance. Not only can it save you money, it can also make sure that you are not faced with any preventable issues during the winter.
