The Problem With Leaking Ducts

Monday, March 13th, 2023

What if every time you tried to take a drink of water on a hot day, 30% of it leaked out of the glass before it hit your lips? Wouldn’t that make you angry? And then, if you tried to eat a delicious sandwich for lunch, 30% of it fell right into the trash before you got a taste. Again, another obnoxious thing that would make anyone livid.

Well, those might sound fantastical, but in the HVAC world they’re not so unrealistic. For instance, a set of air ducts in disrepair could be leaking up to 30% of the conditioned air that’s created by your air conditioner (or heater) and losing it before it reaches the rooms of your home. You might not be able to see it because it’s being leaked elsewhere and because it’s air, but it could be happening. It might be time to call a professional for duct sealant in Tallahassee, FL.

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.

Is Now Too Late for Heating Maintenance?

Monday, January 30th, 2023

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.

A Guide to Caring for Your Ductwork

Monday, December 5th, 2022

When you think of your air conditioning system, what are you actually thinking of? That outdoor unit that you whack weeds around? Maybe the thermostat on your wall that you use to regulate temperatures in your home? Those are both reasonable starting places when it comes to the air conditioning system. But there is more to your AC than meets the eye. We are talking specifically about your ductwork.

If you use a central air conditioner or a heat pump to cool your home, then you use air ducts to distribute this conditioned air throughout your living space. These ducts are most likely hidden away behind walls, above ceilings, below floors, in the attic, etc. But being out of sight does not mean they should be out of mind. Your air ducts will cause serious issues if they are not kept in great condition.

3 Perks of Heater Maintenance

Monday, November 21st, 2022

We know that the rest of the country is starting to hunker down for the colder months of the year. Around here though, the holidays are often marked by sunshine and warm weather. But just because we don’t see snow doesn’t mean it doesn’t get chilly at times.

The next few months are going to get cooler, especially at night, which means we will be relying a bit more on our heating systems. When you need to turn on your furnace or your heat pump, you should know that it will warm your home effectively and efficiently. Heating maintenance can ensure this is the case.

Signs That You Need Furnace Repairs

Monday, November 7th, 2022

Living in Florida, it is easy to take our warm and sunny weather for granted. We get that. For the most part, your heating system is really the last thing on your mind.

Until you need it, that is. And especially until you need it and it’s not functioning properly!

While we may not have the dangerously cold temperatures and heavy snowfall that they get up north, we certainly have enough chilly weather in the winter season to need our furnaces to operate reliably.

And, since there is no such thing as a 100% reliable furnace, we definitely need to know what signs of furnace trouble to be aware of. Keep the following tips in mind, and let us know if you suspect the need for repairs.

3 Reasons You Need a Ductless Mini Split

Monday, October 24th, 2022

Looking for a new way to cool your home? Or maybe you want a more efficient heating system so you can pay less for our brief heater use. Either way, it may be time to try something new from the conventional split system air conditioner that uses a single outdoor unit and indoor unit/air handler to send cool air through a network of ducts.

We wrote another blog post recently about some of the benefits of ductless systems, and in case you weren’t still convinced, below are some more reasons to make the plunge on this installation now!

Here in Florida, where heat and humidity are just a part of our daily life, our air conditioners run non-stop for a good chunk of the middle of the year, and sometimes for long stretches during the winter. If you are ready for a new air conditioning installation or the time for an air conditioning replacement has come, ductless may be the way to go.
