If you’ve followed our blog for very long, you’ve probably seen us talk about the importance of routine professional maintenance. Maintenance helps both your air conditioner and your heating system, or heat pump, work as effectively and efficiently as possible for as long as possible. Without maintenance, you could struggle with frequent repair needs, inefficient system operation, and a shorter equipment lifespan.
Even more problems can crop up if you have a gas-powered system, which can become harmful if not properly cared for due to components such as heat exchangers and gas lines that could theoretically become damaged.
But we also know how easy it can be to brush off a service you don’t seem to need right now. Especially if you don’t know what actually happens during this service.
We’re here to get rid of some of the mystery–read on as we uncover what actually happens during your heating maintenance session, and why these steps are so important.
The thermostat you use to control your heating and cooling systems is an important component. It essentially serves as the “brain” of your HVAC systems, and without it, you simply could not get the comfort that you need in your home.
Getting professional repairs done for your air conditioner when it needs it is one of those services you don’t want to put off. Delaying AC repairs can leave you with a completely broken down machine, and no way to stay comfortable throughout the rest of our long and hot summer.
If you’ve been following our blog for very long, then you’ve likely heard at least a little bit about the importance of maintenance. Preventative maintenance is vital to making sure that your air conditioner and heating system stay in great shape. But it’s important to know that not all HVAC systems are created equal, and therefore have different maintenance tune-up needs.
There aren’t many things that HVAC professionals will tell you to do on your own when it comes to servicing your cooling system. And the fact of the matter is, for big repair needs, this is true, especially since there are various components of an HVAC system that professionals need special training and licensing for, such as the refrigerant in your air conditioner, or natural gas if we’re talking about a heating system.
Summer heatwaves are fairly common in the southern portions of the United States. While summer temperatures in New Jersey and New York rarely reach over 90 degrees Fahrenheit, it still gets pretty humid in the Garden State. During these heatwaves, you should focus on keeping the inside of your home cool and comfortable. 
In our previous blog post, we addressed a question that many of our homeowners ask in late winter/early spring–
Perhaps you’ve heard of a ductless system before, but don’t quite know what it is or why it’s so different from a standard HVAC system.
Are you one of the many homeowners who rely on one of the most dependable heating systems around? That’s right, we’re talking about the boiler. Since boilers have fewer moving parts than their furnace or heat pump counterparts, they accumulate less wear and tear, and in general last longer as a result.
When you live in a climate like ours, one that changes drastically from one season to the next, then it’s nice to know that you can enjoy the comfort brought to you by a year-round heat pump system. Whether it’s one of the coldest days of the year or the hottest, you can rest assured that your heat pump will keep you comfortable—that is, until it stops keeping you comfortable.
