Common Signs You Need Heating Repair
Monday, October 9th, 2017
With fall officially here, most residents are turning off their air conditioners and turning on their heating systems.

Ducts get damaged just like any other portion of your home. In some cases, that can be direct damage, as when rats or squirrels get into the crawlspace and gnaw on the material, or someone inadvertently creates a problem while working on some other part of the house. Other times, it can come from simple wear and tear, such as when two fitted parts lose a bolt and create an opening.

Monday, January 16th, 2017Winter is here in Plano, TX, and if your heating system is on its last legs, you might be looking at a new one before too long.

How to Lower the Costs of Heating
Monday, November 14th, 2016Your heating system is one of the most important parts of your home here in Frisco, TX, and with winter coming, it’s going to see use every day soon enough. Extra use means higher bills, and certainly, you’re going to be paying more for heating in the winter than you do in the summer.

By taking a few preventative measures, you can make a big difference in those pesky monthly costs. Here’s a list of ideas for you:

Monday, September 19th, 2016Many homes in the Garland, TX area use boilers and similar systems to keep their homes warm during the winter. With autumn officially here this week, now is a good time to fire up your boiler and watch for any potential problems or issues that may crop up. Doing so now gives you the chance to handle any repairs or similar issues before the weather gets too cold, ensuring that your boiler is ready to go when you need it to be and will respond reliably each and every day.
Maintenance for Your Heater Is a Good Call!
Monday, September 5th, 2016Labor Day marks the beginning of the end of summer, and while heating season won’t officially begin for a few more weeks, now is an excellent time to start preparing for the colder part of the year. Your heater has likely sat unused for months, building up dust and exacerbating existing problems that could turn around and bite you when you finally fire the system up. Instead of waiting until you need the system to find out if there are any problems, better to check now, while you have plenty of time to make any repairs you might need and otherwise get everything set to go. The best way to do that is to schedule a maintenance session from a trained technician sometime in the coming weeks.
