Trusting a Pro for Furnace Repair

Monday, November 13th, 2023

A lot of people take pride in homeownership. It makes sense—being a homeowner is a difficult task but often incredibly rewarding. Nothing quite feels like the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment after someone has found a DIY solution to a complex problem occurring in their home. The only issue is that the risk vs. reward in these kinds of situations can differ drastically.

For instance, doing some intense cleaning or painting the walls in a home can have marginal risk when measured against the huge reward one might get from this work. But furnace repair in Westchester, NY often has high levels of risk for a low amount of reward. Don’t get us wrong, furnace repairs can often be expensive, but the cost of this work is worth every single penny when compared to what could go wrong when homeowners try to do it themselves.

It’s true that we only have about a month left of winter before temperatures are supposed to start warming up. However, a month can feel like a decade when someone is struggling with a furnace that’s starting to fail. Repairs should never be reserved for only fall, mainly because some of the worst problems occur right at the end of winter when homeowners think they’ll make it through the whole season without them.

Today, we’d like to focus on the idea of last-minute repairs. Technically, no furnace repair in Westchester is last minute because we provide these services year-round. But to a homeowner preparing for the spring, it can feel like a waste. We’d like to talk about how these types of repairs are never a waste and how they can actually save a home that might otherwise become cold from a furnace breakdown.

How Does Your Furnace Tell You It Needs Repairs?

Monday, February 12th, 2018

heating-system-upgradesForced-air furnaces are a common means of keeping homes warm in the area during our long, cold winters. They usually run on a daily basis for months on end, and few homes can go without them for even a few hours. Furnaces are comparatively simple forms of heating: using burners and heat exchangers to warm the air in a centralized location, then blowing the heated air through the home via a series of ducts.

The system is efficient and inexpensive, especially when you used models with the EnergyStar label, but like any system, it runs into trouble from time to time. When it does, homeowners need to move fast to get the problem treated, let their house turn into an icebox while they wait for repairs. The sooner one can spot the signs of a serious problem, the better.
