Why furnace blower doesn’t work

Not getting enough warm air in your home or business?

Energy bills rising?

Do you hear unusually loud noises from the furnace?

Do you smell a burning odor near the furnace?

Why your furnace leaks

There are a few common reasons why your furnace is leaking.

First, however, what kind of furnace do you have?

Look for the yellow AFUE label on your furnace.

 

Why your HVAC smells

Your nose often is the first sensor to detect problems with your heating, ventilation or air conditioning system.

We should learn as children that an odor of rotten eggs, of course, means there may be a gas leak. Open your windows, leave your building and alert the authorities. 

New refrigerant is more eco-friendly

A new refrigerant will replace R-410a, which can harm the environment if it leaks from an air-conditioning system. R-410 also contributes to global warming. The change is effective Jan. 2, 2023.

HVAC coils, fins rusting? It’s a dog-going problem

The coil and fins on your outside HVAC unit can withstand weather, but not frequent visits from a dog.

Urine from dogs contains acid that eats away at these important parts. Repeated doses of urine will corrode the fins and coils, which will hurt your unit’s efficiency and can ultimately shut it down.

Ventilation works best with busy fans

Two of your best friends for ventilation are the fans in your bathroom and kitchen. Fans bring fresher, cleaner air at little cost.

Don’t be reluctant to use them often. 

Don’t touch that thermostat!

What works for one appliance does not automatically work for another appliance.

Case in point: Yes, you can save energy by turning off lights.

But you won’t save energy by constantly turning your HVAC on and off.

Good news, bad news on prices

Manufacturers warn of price hikes

How to spell sustainability? VFR.

Sustainability is a very important word now, but our parents and grandparents knew it by different phrases.

“Get your money’s worth,” they said.

“Make it last.”

“Don’t waste anything.”

“Think ahead!”
