Replacing and installing more efficient thermostat.
Thermostats and Programmable Thermostats
If your air conditioning or furnace is not working, it may be due to a
faulty thermostat. If you suspect your thermostat and want to check we troubleshoot thermostats and repair or replace as needed.
As a note, there are two main types of thermostats, low voltage and
line voltage. It's important for safety to install the proper type for
your furnace, as each type of thermostat is designed for different
types of furnaces.
Programmable Thermostats
Programmable thermostats gives your thermostat a brain and help you to
save on energy bills. A programmable thermostat allows you to set the
desired temperature for different times and days of the week. With a
programmable thermostat, you won't inadvertently leave the heat on too
high or air conditioning on too low at night or while the family is at
school and work during the day. A programmable thermostat will even
tell you when you need to change your furnace filter! Call us today about installing a programmable thermostat so that you can start saving on energy bills
Central Heating and Air Conditioning Repairs
If your heating or air conditioning system is making strange noises or
is running weakly or not at all, it may need professional repair.
Whether a component needs replacement, air ducts need sealing, or a new
air conditioner or furnace would make sense, we will determine the
source of the problem and provide you with a solution.
Duct Inspection and Sealing
Sealing air ducts in your home is a step that can save you both energy
and money. Often the joints in the duct system are sealed with duct
tape. While duct tape is an extremely useful product, it is only a
temporary measure when it comes to sealing ducts!
Ducts often run through attics, crawl spaces and basements where
extreme heat and cold can cause separation at the joints. Permanent
sealing requires painting with mastic, a thick, gooey substance. When
ducts are also properly insulated, you can save even more on energy
bills.
Ducts can leak as much as 25% of their cargo of air that has been
warmed or cooled. In addition, air contaminated with undesirable
particles can leak into your ducts from the attic, crawl space or
basement. If you notice a layer of dust drifting in from your air
vents, this is an indication that leaks have already sprung.
Duct inspection, permanent sealing and insulation of the ducts are
recommended as key energy-saving steps.
We start by inspecting your ducts. If the system is sealed with duct
tape only or if it is already leaking, we recommend sealing with
mastic. We can also advise you as to whether additional insulation of
your ducts for further energy and cost savings is desirable. Call us
