Sudden rising energy consumption is often among the earliest signs you’re experiencing HVAC troubles. That’s why we encourage homeowners to monitor their energy use month to month and year to year and to contact us for heating or cooling repairs as soon as possible.
Malfunctioning air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and electric furnaces can use much more electricity. Likewise, gas furnaces can waste a lot more fuel. You can monitor your usage manually or invest in a smart thermostat that does it for you.
You should also monitor how your HVAC system cycles. HVAC cycles vary from home to home and system to system. Still, a typical cycle lasts 10 to 15 minutes, and the system should cycle two or three times an hour. If you have a system turning on more frequently, it’s short-cycling. That can create significant excess wear on your equipment.
Conversely, running for extended periods also indicates that you need repair. For an AC, you might have a refrigerant leak or a problem with the condenser. Electric heaters might have a problem with the heating element, and gas furnaces might have a combustion or heat exchanger issue.
If it’s time to upgrade your heating or air conditioning system, our installers are ready to evaluate your home and offer the best options. We work with traditional ACs, furnaces, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits.
Heat pumps are an intriguing option if you currently have a central AC and furnace. They’re essentially two-way ACs that can heat and cool. Newer heat pumps work at lower temperatures than they used to, so they should be sufficient in most areas around Garden Valley.
If you’re at a higher elevation that experiences more extreme temperatures, you might need a hybrid system or a dual-fuel heat pump. This is where we pair a heat pump and furnace. The furnace only runs when it’s too cold for the heat pump to be efficient.
If your home does not have ductwork, a mini-split might be the solution. These systems are also great for rooms that are always hotter or colder than the rest of the home. They also work for home additions, converted attics or garages, and outbuildings.
Seasonal HVAC services are the best way to save money and avoid headaches. We recommend scheduling an air conditioning tune-up every spring and a heater tune-up every fall. Most HVAC warranties require it. Routine maintenance lowers operating costs and helps avoid repairs. It also extends the lifespan of your HVAC equipment.
You may also want to consider a maintenance program, such as our protection plan. It includes fall and spring tune-ups at a discount, along with electrical and plumbing inspections. We’ll handle the remembering and scheduling for you.
Membership comes with many additional perks as well. Members receive priority scheduling. We waive diagnostic fees for members during regular business hours. You’ll also get a 15% discount on repairs or system enhancements.
