Even in our chilly climate—even with Punxatawny Phil insisting winter was not coming to an end—there’s no doubt we’re well past the halfway point of winter. We’re in the home stretch! In the not-too-distant future, we’ll be thinking about petunias and picnics, not heating system repair. But in the meantime, there’s still a chance something could go wrong, making your winter even chillier.
If you only have a minor heating system problem, is it safe to ignore it at the end of the season? After all, you won’t be using your heat for much longer. Do you need to get that heating repair in Cambridge, MA done now, or can you wait until next fall? We strongly urge you to get repairs promptly, and for good reason. Here’s why.
Welcome to fall, the season when you need to rush around getting ready for a New England winter although you’d really rather just curl up in your favorite sweater with a hot drink! One of the most important things to do before winter is schedule heating maintenance, which has many benefits.
Once your maintenance has been performed by a qualified technician, you’ll enjoy higher efficiency, more cozy comfort throughout your home, and a dramatically decreased risk that you’ll have a heating breakdown during the winter or even require any sort of repairs. But the truly critical thing about heating maintenance is that it will keep you, your home, and your family safe. Here’s how.
Houses have so many systems and functional parts. There are water pipes and drainage pipes, electrical wiring and circuit breakers, ventilation ducts, furnaces, and air conditioners. There might be sump pumps, air purifiers, and more. It may seem like you constantly need to find a new expert to call in when something goes wrong with a different part of your home.
However, some of those experts may work on more home systems than you realize. Do you know who you should call when you need work done on your gas line? It’s a plumber! We’ll explain exactly why, and when you might need their services.
A suspicious or unpleasant smell in your home can be hard to ignore, especially when you walk in the door from outside and the odor assaults you. If that smell is coming from your air conditioner, you need the help of a qualified technician to get it sorted out. But what could cause an air conditioner to make a bad smell? What in the world is wrong? We’ll explain the most likely culprits.
Annual maintenance for your air conditioner makes a huge difference in a lot of ways. It improves how well the system works, keeping you more comfortable. It restores the system’s efficiency, which drops over the course of a year’s hard work. It can keep your air conditioner under warranty for longer, and even keep it running for more summers than it would otherwise survive.
One of the most impressive things maintenance can accomplish is reducing the need for AC repair. It can cut the likelihood—by 85%!—that you’ll need to have your air conditioner repaired over the course of the summer. How exactly does AC maintenance help you avoid the problems that would require AC repair? We’ll tell you all about it.
It might not seem like it quite yet, but warm weather is coming! And with it will come the need to use your air conditioner. If something goes wrong and your cooling system doesn’t work well when you need it to, it’s best to already have a plan in place for what you’ll do. That way, you won’t panic, and you won’t have to make a dozen phone calls.
Your best bet is to know exactly who to call when your air conditioner or other cooling system breaks down, makes a funny noise, or fails to provide the cooling you need. This means you need to know that an HVAC contractor handles the type of system you have. We perform HVAC repairs on air conditioners, heat pumps, mini splits, and more. Here are some of the most common concerns we see.
When you imagine a plumbing emergency, chances are, you’re thinking about a frozen, burst pipe, perhaps spraying water that immediately turns into icicles. And it’s true that this is a reasonable concern in our climate (except for perhaps the icicles). But sometimes, a plumbing emergency actually has to do with your water heater.
If you’re like most people, you don’t think about your water heater much, unless you suddenly find yourself taking a cold shower. But that means you might not be taking the precautions that could prevent problems. What kind of emergencies can water heaters have? What can be done to prevent them? We’ve got some helpful information for you.
As the weather gets colder and colder, it’s time to figure out exactly how to stay cozy this winter without paying unnecessarily high heating bills. In our area, heating comprises the majority of your utility bills for the year which is understandable in this cold climate. How can you strike a balance between keeping warm and saving money? By setting your thermostat properly this winter. Here’s how.
