Sooner or later, your heating, ventilation and air conditioner system will wear out. It may sputter its way to oblivion via a series of expensive repairs, or it might just suddenly give up the ghost one day after a decade or two of loyal service.
Pay attention immediately if the air coming from your vents has a burnt aroma. That acrid smell could be caused by one of several things, some worse than others.
If you also notice that your air conditioner is sending out warm air instead of cool air, your system may have jumped a track and turned on the heater.
Which is better? It depends, but usually the better choice is to select Auto (short for automatic).
It’s more energy-efficient, a good reason in itself, and it causes less wear and tear on the components, which can extend the life of your air-conditioning system.
Spring is here, at least on the calendar, and now is a good time to get your air conditioning system ready for warmer weather.
If your thermostat isn’t properly placed you may have pockets of hot and cold air in your home or business.
For example, a thermostat next to the kitchen and laundry room will pick up the heat generated by ovens and clothes dryers. The thermostat won’t realize the temperature may be quite different in other rooms.
Some people like to run the air conditioner all the time when they are in a hotel so they can revel in chill air.
But that’s a bad move, especially if you are doing this at home and paying the energy bill.
Here’s the situation: Your thermostat is at the temperature you want. The air stops blowing and the indoor unit shuts off.
All is fine, but the outside unit keeps running rather than shutting off. What’s wrong?
Poor design is often the downfall of the duct system providing your home or business with heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
There are several reasons why your heat pump doesn’t start. Some solutions are easier than others.
Some simple fixes in this article...
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?
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.
Many government leaders are pushing for homes and businesses to switch to heat pumps for financial and environmental reasons.
New York State is among the most eager.
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.
Power surges, dirt, age and water are threats to the control board that is the quarterback of your gas furnace.
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.
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.
