As the holidays approach, we depend more and more on our heating systems to keep us nice and cozy. When you’re enjoying the snowy weather, opening presents, or sipping a nice cup of warm coffee, it’s likely as enjoyable as it is because your home is toasty.

Fall is one of those seasons where we try to talk about heating maintenance in Greenfield, IN as much as possible. It’s not because we’re trying to sell a particular service, or because we like doing heating maintenance more than repairs, but simply because it’s more effective now.

The HVAC industry has changed a lot over the past several decades. Back in the old days, one of the best ways to discover a new HVAC technician was to find one through a neighbor or family friend.

So, the news has come in and it’s certain: you’re going to need a new heating replacement. This can be a rough thing for most families to hear, since those purchase costs can extend well into the thousands of dollars, and they’re usually purchases that people didn’t really plan on.

The short answer is yes, so if that’s what you were looking for, we’re glad you stopped by! All jokes aside, we know that you’re here for more than just a yes or no answer.

Heating systems do have expiration dates, contrary to what many people think. We’ve all got that family member or neighbor who still runs that old 20 or 30-year-old heating system that technically still works, but looks like it’s about to fall apart at any minute.

Sometimes, heaters can make noises that sound simple or harmless, but they can really be an intricate problem affecting one or more components of the system. A booming gas furnace, for instance, sounds really bad when a good cleaning of the components might do the trick to alleviate it.

We’ve been talking a lot about heaters this year, and that makes sense. We’ve only had cold months so far, but looking forward, it’s clear that we’ll need to transition at some point to talking about air conditioners.

The short answer is yes, absolutely. But to answer that question in full, we need to discuss a few nuanced points about air conditioning repair.

You can hear the faint dripping in the other room. Whether you’re on your phone or a laptop, you’re stressed out trying to determine the next steps and you’re worried about what might happen if this leak keeps going.

If you were to search online for “AC repair near me” in any search engine, you’d get a lot of results. Many of those results would be sheer advertising, asking you to call or sign up now to get a professional on the line.

Water heater service can be tricky. Depending on the problem, a water heater can have all sorts of malfunctions. They can leak, run into sediment problems, corrode, and even have trouble regulating the temperature.

So, it’s finally time that you got your air conditioner repaired. That’s good news! An AC problem can become multiple problems, or a much worse problem over time.

While it’s not quite summer yet, we’re all smart enough to know what comes after spring. This means that hot temperatures are on their way, whether we’re prepared for them or not.

Isn’t it a pain to plug that big, energy-sucking monster from the closet every year? It barely fits in your window, it doesn’t even work very well, and it could lead to a serious back injury in the future if you’re not careful.

A water heater isn’t designed to last forever. Sure, we’d love it if it could, but there are just some laws of the universe that we just can’t get over no matter how hard we try.

The HVAC industry is large and there are a lot of professionals you’ll meet on your journey for air conditioning or heating support. But one thing is clear, the most reputable and trustworthy technicians will let you in on some industry secrets that might save you money or give you more time to make an educated decision.

Sometimes when dealing with a leak or a drain clog, it can be the first time a homeowner really pays close attention to their kitchen or bathroom plumbing system. This is sometimes the moment when people realize there’s a strange dip in their sink plumbing, whether you’ve got a pipe made of PVC or copper, it’s usually going to look like this.

Yes, we know that thinking about a heating system during record-breaking highs in August can sound crazy—but it’s not. Especially if you’re concerned with your budget or saving money this year, we can guarantee you that the earlier you start considering your heating options, the better off you’ll be.

Most customers think they can diagnose their air conditioners on their own when there’s a problem. While we encourage curious customers who enjoy learning about the technology, this is simply not the case.

Air conditioners run in a specific way we call a “cooling cycle.” This kind of method makes sense for total comfort throughout your home, but it’s a very specific way a system operates.

Is anyone ever truly “ready” for the fall? It’s usually such a hectic time of year, and can be too hot or too cold in the beginning. Then, by the time the winter is almost here, it’s exceptionally cold and we don’t even feel like we’re in fall anymore.

The water heater is the true workhorse of your home. It keeps you supplied with hot water whenever you need it.

Indoor air quality can be a complicated thing to discuss. There are a lot of facets to it.

Many of our customers have been proud heat pump owners for at least a year, while others might be thinking about making their next home comfort appliance a heat pump system. Congratulations!

Thermostats are deceptively small while playing a pretty massive role in your home comfort. They’re the brains of your HVAC system, giving you a smart and convenient interface to work with while signaling to the system whether it should start or stop. Smart and Wi-Fi thermostats are all the rage these days (for some great reasons we’ll get to below), but this leads to an inevitable problem.

Plumbing systems are complicated, but with human innovation, we’ve made things a bit easier for day-to-day life. For instance, the invention of the plunger is one of the single most practical tools you can have for your home that can treat numerous different plumbing problems.

Your water heater is not supposed to drip water or leak at all, that part should be pretty clear to any homeowner. However, what isn’t clear is whether your hot water heater is on its way out and needs to be replaced, or just needs a fast repair.

Last year was a hard year for many people, whether it’s trouble with a new job, a new stage in life, or even just a large and unexpected investment. Sometimes, a heating system could be all of those things, and a new unit might cause a lot of stress in families.
