3 Signs it's Time for Furnace ReplacementApart from a lack of proper maintenance, there are many other reasons you might discover you need a furnace replacement or replacement parts for your furnace this season.

  1. Pilot Light Failure Many of us have had an inconvenient moment when we realized the pilot light on a stove, oven, gas water heater, or furnace has gone out. Sometimes this can be because of something inconsequential. However, if your gas furnace will no longer correctly light or stay lit, you should have an HVAC technician come and take a look. If this is an issue, you’ll need to be especially attentive for the smell of sulfur (or like rotten eggs) that could signal that unused gas is leaking into your home.
  2. Broken Thermostat A broken thermostat can be a tricky problem to diagnose. It can be as simple as the switch inside having snapped from becoming brittle if you still have an older model. Before a full furnace replacement, check that your thermostat is correctly working. While both may still need to be replaced, they often go out at different times.
  3. Mechanical Issues (Usually Preceded by Strange Noises) Part failure, such as the failure in the regulation of the fan on a heater can signal it is nearing time to replace your home’s heating system. Furnace replacement time can also be signaled by strange mechanical noises coming from your HVAC unit. Clearly, there are normally lots of sounds from a system that is interconnected throughout your home, but just like with the other machines you use with motors and fans there are certain sounds that indicate furnace replacement or at least replacement of some of the mechanics of it is imminent.

When the weather starts to cool off, you might wake up on a chilly morning and find out that you need to turn the heater on in your home to heat it up. Sometimes, after the heater has not been turned on in a while, it will not work properly. It sometimes doesn’t even blow hot air, or it can even produce a funny burning smell that can cause some concern. If you have regular heating maintenance done on your furnace when it first starts to get cold, you can make sure your heater is working when you need it to. No more chilly mornings — you can have your home heat up to a comfortable temperature, so you can go about your day. Heating maintenance can be regularly scheduled with a professional heating and air company. It is a good idea to have heating maintenance done annually to make sure that your furnace is working properly and efficiently. Regular maintenance can include checking your furnace for any problems, checking to make sure all bolts and screws are tightened, filters are clean and unclogged, and to make sure that every part of the furnace is working like it should. When regular maintenance is done on your furnace, it will not only ensure that your furnace works when you need it to, but it can also save you from paying for expensive repairs in the future. When you have your furnace looked over once a year, they can find small problems and fix them before they become a big problem. Maintenance can also extend the life of your furnace, giving you more years before you have to pay to replace your heater.  If you are interested in setting up heating maintenance for your home , contact us today at Air Kool Heat & Air. We can check your furnace and make sure you and your family stay warm all winter long.

When it comes to heating your home , most of us don’t realize that there are more options besides forced air, some of which might be better for your needs! Here at Air Kool Heat & Air, we want to let our customers know that there are many heating options out there that can keep you nice and toasty during those chilly winter months. As we head into the cooler weather, here are a few heating options for you to consider if your current option isn’t going to last another season. Boiler- A boiler is a tried-and-true option that many people forget about when it comes to heating because it’s older. However, boilers are a long-term solution for many people who are living in older homes that weren’t built with forced air vents in mind. Using hot water or sometimes oil, boilers distribute heat by first heating another material and allowing that material to circulate. Furnace- A new furnace is a great option for heating efficiently and when and where you’d like heat circulated. With the option to modify or upgrade, a furnace works for those who would like to keep their heating options open for the future. Heat Pump- Heat pumps work with the transfer of air. This is a great and efficient way to heat any property. There are many heating options out there, and we at Air Kool Heat & Air would be happy to discuss them with you today. Give us a call to learn more.
