Introduction to Heating and Cooling Systems
At Four Seasons Air Specialists, we understand how vital your home’s heating and cooling systems are for maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures and air quality. These systems need regular maintenance to prevent costly repairs and ensure efficient operation. Let’s dive into how you can keep your systems running smoothly with some basic understanding and routine care.
Common Problems and DIY Fixes
- Thermostat Malfunctions: Sometimes, the issue might be as simple as needing new batteries for your thermostat or making sure it’s set correctly.
- Dirty Filters: A frequent issue we see at Four Seasons Air Specialists is a dirty air filter. A clogged filter restricts airflow, forcing your system to work harder. We recommend checking and replacing your filters every 3 months to prevent this issue.
- Pilot Light Issues: For those with gas furnaces, the pilot light going out can be a common but fixable issue. If it frequently goes out, however, it might be time to call us for a check-up.
When to Call a Professional
While many minor issues can be addressed on your own, certain problems require the expert attention of our trained professionals at Four Seasons Air Specialists. These include:
- Refrigerant Leaks: Handling refrigerant requires certification due to its hazardous nature. Our certified professionals are equipped to manage these safely.
- Complex System Diagnostics: Frequent breakdowns need a comprehensive diagnostic, which our technicians can perform thoroughly.
