Winters in Florida aren’t like other parts of the country. Let’s face it, we’ve had New Year’s Days that have clocked in at 90° before. It’s almost laughable to even think about winter this early in the year. Still though, when temperatures do cool down, however briefly, you want a fully functioning heater doing its job well.
If you try to get by with a malfunctioning heater, you could find yourself with a plethora of repair needs, higher than necessary heating costs, and even a completely broken down furnace. For this reason, we can’t stress enough how important heating maintenance is, as this service allows our technicians to thoroughly inspect, clean, and adjust your system for optimal performance.
It’s not too late to schedule maintenance! Even with this service though, it pays to know what to look for in a malfunctioning heater—or in some cases, what to listen for. We’ve listed below 5 noises you never want your furnace to make (and if it does, please call our pros right away).
We get why you would ask this. After all, it’s not like we use our furnaces that much—we get a relatively small handful of solid weeks out the year where our temperatures drop low enough to necessitate their use. Therefore, why maintain them?
Investing in a new air conditioning system isn’t exactly cheap, no matter how affordable of a system you find. But this is definitely one of the most important investments you’ll make for your home, given the constant heat we have to deal with. There’s no denying that we deal with a lot of sunny and hot weather around here… so if you need a new air conditioner, you need it now!
It would be great if we had air conditioners that could self-diagnose themselves when something was wrong, and send us a notification about exactly what the problem is and how much it will cost to have a professional fix it.
It may seem strange to be talking about the installation of a new air conditioning system near the end of summer—but then again in Florida, it’s almost always summer! Plus, the end of summer is the most likely time for aging air conditioners to finally call it quits, as they’ve been under a lot of stress.
Are you thinking about upgrading your air conditioner? A lot of homeowners come to this same conclusion during this time of the year. We don’t blame you for kicking your current air conditioner to the curb—no one should have to go through a summer in St. Augustine with a faulty air conditioner. Florida heat is no joke!
Do you think of your air conditioning system as an investment? You should. It really is an investment for your home. These systems are expensive, and you expect them to last you around 10 to 15 years without much incident. Have you ever thought about what goes into maintaining a great air conditioning system though? It’s a little more than meets the eye.
Is it a little late to schedule an appointment for air conditioning maintenance? Sure—but it’s never too late!
Has your air conditioning system left you wanting more this summer? So many homeowners feel this way in this early summer weather. If you fall into this category you might be dreading calling up a professional HVAC contractor and hearing a professional tell you that you need to replace your entire air conditioning system.
