The term “repair” is often one that brings an immense amount of stress to customers in our area. Whether it’s hearing that your car needs a “repair” or your HVAC system needs a “fix,” it’s often going to make you think about the draining numbers in your bank account, and the month of tightened expenses that will make you watch everything you buy.

Air filters are becoming more common in homes that rely on things like air conditioning or heating throughout the year. Our area is no exception to that, being a place where an air filter can make a huge difference during our scorching hot summers or our chilly winters.

Troubleshooting a Heat Pump Issue: Our Guide

October 7th, 2024

It’s that time of year where customers start switching their heat pumps from cooling to heating modes. This is the great part about these systems: with just a flip of a switch or a touch of a screen, you get powerful heating instead of efficient air conditioning. These methods all use electricity and refrigerant so there’s no need to brace yourself for the incoming fuel bill.

However, these systems still require proper maintenance and repairs when something goes wrong.

In fact, a heat pump requires twice as much maintenance as an average air conditioner or heating system, due to the fact that it runs twice as much as either system. More stress means more problems are likely to arrive if the system isn’t cleaned, inspected, and maintained.

So, first schedule maintenance with our team. Then let’s do a walkthrough of your system to see if we can’t help troubleshoot a heat pump repair in Southlake, TX.

The Strange Smells of Fall: Detecting a Malfunctioning Heater

September 23rd, 2024

One of the easiest ways to tell if your heating system is on the fritz is with your nose. That’s right, as the old adage says, the nose always goes. Your nose is a powerful tool that can detect even a minor amount of dangerous particles in the air, from cooking smoke to leaking gas, or issues with your air conditioner.

A cracked heat exchanger can emit unusual noises and smells, indicating a potentially dangerous problem such as a gas or carbon monoxide leak.

While there are some important things your nose can’t pick up, like carbon monoxide (which we’ll talk about later), you should rely on your nose to tell you when something is wrong and schedule an appointment with our team for HVAC repair in Grapevine, TX.

Don’t worry, the price of this work should be secondary when the result is a safer home for you and your family. Safety always comes first, so make sure you tell us about the strange odors you’re detecting.

Heat pumps are everywhere. It’s true, if you were to look at a comparison of heat pump technology 15 years ago with now, you’d see a major spike in the usage and distribution of this technology. But it’s not an accident.

But the big advancement comes from their ability to bring heat into your house during a cold season. If you’re exploring this option for the first time, check out this comprehensive overview on how heat pumps work and why they’re a smart choice for year-round comfort.
