Repairing All HVAC Systems
Whether you own a ducted heat pump, a mini-split, or a furnace, you can usually tell when it needs professional attention. The average heating or cooling cycle is 10 to 15 minutes in length, so anything much shorter or longer than this should be cause for concern. If your system has trouble reaching your set point, then it’s clearly malfunctioning. Musty odors from heat pumps, burning odors from gas furnaces, and uneven temperatures with ducted units are other warning signs.
Rather than try to fix the issue yourself, rely on an expert for an accurate diagnosis and the most cost-effective repair. Some repairs involve the replacement of a component, in which case you may have to schedule a second appointment. For our part, we drive in fully stocked vehicles and can complete many repairs in a single visit.
Quality Products and Stress-Free Installation
Installing a new system is a big step, so don’t take it alone. First, you should have a technician inspect your current system and make sure replacement is the only viable option. Normally, gas furnaces and ducted heat pumps need to be replaced after 10 to 15 years. With ductless mini-splits, the lifespan is closer to 30 years. Oil and electric furnaces can last a good 25 years with regular maintenance. Besides lifespan, consider how well the system has been running and how often you’ve been repairing it. Inefficient systems are better off being replaced in the long run.
The technician could then help you choose a new system based on technical details like your home’s size, its rate of heat loss in the winter, and its insulation levels. You could also look into special features like a smart thermostat. Above all, we recommend considering products with the EPA’s Energy Star label since this attests to the system’s energy-saving ability. Financing is available on approved credit.
