The weather is already getting cooler in Arizona, and it’s time to make sure your home’s heating system is functioning properly. Keeping up with heating system maintenance can improve the performance, safety, and efficiency of your heating system and reduce your risk of a mid-winter breakdown or the need for emergency repairs.
At B & J Refrigeration, we offer comprehensive heating and cooling services in Tucson, AZ, for home and business owners. We specialize in heating system maintenance, repairs, installations, and replacements and have experience working with all types and brands of heating systems. If your home furnace is behaving strangely, we can diagnose the problem and find the most efficient solution. We can also help you decide if it would be more cost-efficient to replace your furnace rather than repairing it. Here are some of the signs it’s time to replace your home’s furnace.
Uneven Heating or Cold Spots
If you feel cold spots or drafts in certain areas of your home, your heating system may not be operating efficiently. If your thermostat shows a specific temperature but all or part of your home feels much colder, you may need a new thermostat, adjustments to air distribution, or a new furnace.
Strange Noises
Most furnaces and heating systems make noise; however, if you start hearing strange new noises, there might be a problem with your furnace. If you hear a rattling, popping, banging, clanging, humming, screeching, whining, or squealing noise, call our heating and cooling specialists now.
Reduced Indoor Air Quality
An increase in dust, dirt, and allergens in your home could be a sign that your furnace isn’t operating properly. If you’re sneezing more often or cleaning up dust and dirt every day, call us for a furnace inspection.
Low Humidity or Dry Air
If the air in your home is dry and you’re experiencing itchy skin, dry hair and skin, or nose and throat irritation, your furnace may not be functioning very well. You may also want to consider a in-home humidity system to go along with your HVAC unit.
Increase in Energy Bills
If your furnace is old, worn out, dirty, or broken, it won’t operate very efficiently. If your energy bills have suddenly increased and you haven’t been using your furnace more often, you may need to upgrade to a more energy-efficient furnace. Our heating and cooling specialists can help you find the most energy-efficient furnace or heating system for your home. Installing an energy-efficient heating system can lower your energy bills and improve the comfort and safety of your home.
Sometimes, your heating system or furnace might just be so old that repeated repairs are only going to be a temporary solution. If your furnace is over 10 years old and has major problems, we will recommend furnace replacement.
