FAQ: 3 Gas Furnace Questions

Monday, February 6th, 2023

A gas furnace is a popular heating system in the tri-state area. Nearly every municipality where we’re located has access to natural gas, and it can still be more affordable than electricity depending on the prices. This is why most HVAC contractors are seen working on gas furnaces: they’re just some of the most common and reliable appliances we use.

However, furnaces do need repairs every once in a while, and sometimes those repairs can be unique. We want to talk about three distinct tips that homeowners can be aware of when looking at the longevity of their furnace lifespans. We’ll seek to answer questions like, How does my furnace keep heating if my basement is too cold? Or, When will my furnace call it quits?

Then, hopefully customers can call us for gas furnace repair in Westchester County, NY if they think that’s what’s required.

3 Complicated Issues With Air Ducts

Monday, October 17th, 2022

Homeowners can have a tough relationship with their air ducts. They’re certainly not the most exciting part of the HVAC system, but they’re necessary for almost any forced-air heating or cooling system, aside from ductless units. This is just a natural truth about our industry, so it’s important to view air ducts as a necessary component.

However, air ducts can run into their own problems which can be hard for homeowners to identify. Eventually, when left to their own devices, air ducts can fall into disrepair and become broken. This might make it impossible to feel the comfortable air coming from a brand-new heating system, or a state-of-the-art AC unit. That’s never a situation that anyone wants to be in, so we advise customers to read on and call our team for support

Let’s talk about three unique problems that can cause homeowners to call us for duct repair in Westchester County, NY.

Stuffy Air: Causes, Symptoms, Solutions

Monday, August 22nd, 2022

Stuffy air is a term that’s widely used in our area. While people can mean a variety of different things when they say that air is “stuffy,” there’s usually one main point: that there’s dust or something in the air that makes it hard to breathe. Usually, what follows someone saying that the air feels stuffy is the desire to open a window for some freshness. But in many areas, especially in Westchester County, that might not be a good idea.

Many of our customers live in buildings or homes that sit right outside of a garbage loading area, or where vehicles are constantly stalled in traffic. Opening a window might make the air smell even worse. So what can be done?

Well, an air filtration system in Westchester County, NY is going to go a long way in preserving the quality of a home’s air without the need for allowing outside contaminants to get in.
