Home and business heating systems are expensive appliances that require skill for both installation and repair. The types of heating devices available include a boiler system that distributes steam or hot water to radiator units and a forced air heating system that typically comes as part of the home HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) appliance. At one point it was possible to get just a home heating furnace installed, but with modern HVAC systems it is easier to install the combined appliance.
The home and business owner has many uses for today’s Expert Heating Contractor. For instance, the contractor will generally offer a regular maintenance plan that will improve both the overall life of the appliance as well as it’s function and energy efficiency. Considering that over time the HVAC will lose refrigerant pressure, the coils will slowly clog and the system will collect dirt, having a regular maintenance plan seems like a great idea. One of the important steps in this maintenance is cleaning the air exchange and ensuring the overall airflow in the system. The air exchange unit is shared by both the A/C and the heating components and tends to collect dirt inside the vanes of the coil which blocks the air flow. To eliminate this problem the technician will remove the coil and clean it in an acid bath.
Like any appliance we own, our heating systems will fail and eventually need replaced. To ensure the job is handled properly it should be done by an Expert Heating Contractor. Ideally, the end result should be better than the original installation. For example, many homes have the heating and A/C unit installed in the attic wherever the appliance will fit. Unfortunately, these appliances are typically installed with the least amount of care possible. In many cases they have the minimum amount of support required and some may actually not have the proper amount of strapping in place. In other cases the system will have mismatched equipment or the appliances are low quality devices that fail often.
