Heating Maintenance Expectations in Tallahassee

Monday, September 25th, 2023

Many homeowners don’t think they need heating maintenance in Tallahassee, or they’ll at least look at you like you’re strange when you consider it. This makes sense because we live in Florida and we don’t deal with the temperature drops that many of our northern neighbors and family members do, but that’s still not the whole story.

We’d argue that heating maintenance in Tallahassee, FL is actually perfect for those of us who live closer to the tropics, and we’ll prove it. It’s true that we might not use our heating systems as much as someone who lives in Montana or New York, but we’re also less likely to upgrade our heating systems due to this limited usage. This means that you’ll want your heater working for longer, which is what maintenance is all about!

The Pros and Cons of Radiant Heating

Monday, May 22nd, 2023

There are two main types of heating systems in the world–forced-air heating and radiant heating. Contrary to some popular beliefs, they’re actually quite different from one another.

A forced-air heating system is something like a furnace or a heat pump, heating the air of your home which then allows everything else to stay warm. A radiant heating system in Tallahassee, FL is going to radiate heat through walls and objects using either electrical resistance or hot water.

Each heating system has its own pros and cons, and different homeowners enjoy them for different reasons. So, if you’re on the fence about your next heating system and you’ve never explored radiant heating, now is your chance! Keep reading to learn more about our radiant heating systems and why they might be perfect for your home.

The Best Commercial Deal You’ll Get This Season

Monday, April 24th, 2023

In the world of business, there are two terms that have a huge importance–supply and demand. These two words pretty much drive the entire business world, from supply chains to services. As a business or building owner, you’re likely well aware of this existence, which is why we think you’ll like this tip that we have.

As many commercial clients start shifting their focus to indoor air quality and air conditioning, commercial heating installations in Tallahassee, FL get left in the dust. This service will likely sit aside for half a year before the chilly temperatures return and commercial clients start investing in them. But because of supply and demand, the cost of a whole new installation might go up between now and then. Luckily for you, the price of a new commercial heating installation is likely to be lower now than it would be in the fall. This can be a big deal if you’re trying to save money or if you’re encountering problems.

Why Is My Furnace Dripping?

Monday, February 13th, 2023

Combustion of gas into warmth sounds like a simple process when we’re describing what a furnace does. But combustion is far from simple! Burning gas releases a whole lot of different chemicals into the air, from carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, and even water vapor. These chemicals are then sent out of your port exhaust so you don’t have to deal with them anymore, but sometimes there can be a hiccup in the system.

With some of our recently cold days, we’ve depended more and more on our furnaces. It’s understandable if you found a puddle under your system and immediately thought to call for furnace repair in Tallahassee, FL. A puddle is never a good sign and a leaking furnace can sound like a disaster, but it’s more common than you think!

Either way, continue to read this blog for more information and don’t forget to call our team for expert help if you need it.

Well, no not really. But you probably didn’t come to a blog to hear a one-phrase answer, right? You probably want the juicy details, the information, and all the stuff that makes our opinion actually worth something! Well, we won’t disappoint.

The idea of “late maintenance” is one that doesn’t really make sense in a seasonal sense, but it does in a routine sense. Heating maintenance in Tallahassee, FL is a service that you should be getting for your heating system once every year, but not many homeowners know why that is. And, when it comes to what time of year is the best, we usually recommend fall, but that’s another preference and not the rule.

Basically, as we’ll get into below, it’s more important that you have your heating system maintained regardless of when it is. As long as you invest in this service routinely, you’ll be in good shape.
