Is your house cold in the winter and hot in the summer? One of the most common problems is not having proper cooling and heating systems. Have you had the chance to check your heater and exactly why it is not blowing out a steady stream of warm air? It could be clogged. Changing the filters on your system is extremely important because while it is stopping your house from being heated the way it should, it could start a fire or blow out the motor.
What an heating and cooling system does
Warms your house
Heating can come from an HVAC system, which blows hot air in and cool air out. It is installed in your house, so it is not a noticeable in-the-way type situation. It will help your house to stay warm in the winter without you even noticing it is there. If it is not maintained properly though be prepared for significant damage cost.
Cools your house
Cooling, on the other hand, is much of the same thing, but the repairs or maintenance can be different. The coolant will need to be recharged of course. That also includes the filters being changed to make sure the motor does not burn out and that the air can flow freely, so the machine does not have to work that hard. The more difficult either machine works, the more it will cost you in bills.
Choosing a contractor
When you are hiring a heating and cooling contractor you need to find out about their license and insurance. Ensure you are conversant with the type of your system and the history of its maintenance if it has already been installed. Tell them about any rooms that are uncomfortable too because they can understand your needs better.
