Noises Your Boiler Should NOT Be Making

Monday, October 7th, 2019

One lesson you learn very early on in the HVAC industry is that every heating or cooling system has its own noises it makes. This exists on a spectrum, from normal noises of the heating or cooling process, to the noises that spell disaster to every homeowner who hears them.

There’s a misconception that boilers don’t make as much noise as other heating systems like furnaces or heat pumps, but that’s just not true. Sure they might run quieter since they’re not a forced-air system, but they still make noises when they’re having issues and you should still be on the lookout for those issues. Whether it’s banging, shrieking, or grinding, your boiler could be warning you that you need some work on your HVAC in Avon, OH. These problems can be costing you money on your heating bill that could only get worse the longer you ignore them!

The Value of a Great AC Maintenance Plan

Monday, August 26th, 2019

When it comes to getting the most bang for your buck, an air conditioning maintenance plan is well worth the cash. A lot of the time, homeowners think that if they’re just vigilant enough looking out for problems, their AC will last forever, but this is not a good mentality to have. Considering the lifespan of an AC unit, as well as looking out for signs of inefficiency and energy waste, an AC maintenance plan is becoming more widespread.

Not just that, but a yearly maintenance plan to check up on your AC could save you a ton of money in the long run. Inefficiency leads to higher energy bills which can run your budget through the roof. It’s also bad for the environment when everyone lets their air conditioners run as inefficiently as possible.

That’s why, if you’re looking for air conditioning maintenance in Avon, OH, we’ve listed our own AC maintenance plan below to help get you back on track.
