This winter really didn’t want to leave, but it is finally looking like it has taken the hint and is beginning its retreat. That doesn’t mean that your heater is necessarily done with its work for the season, of course. The nighttime temperatures are still pretty chilly, and you may need your heater to take the edge off just a bit for a while longer. Even if you are pretty much done with the system for the season, we suggest that you schedule repairs now rather than wait for the start of next winter.
We obviously deal with a lot of different calls pertaining to HVAC in Stamford, CT, but heating repairs are among the most common. Oftentimes, we wind up making fairly extensive repairs for systems that could have been largely avoided had the budding issues been dealt with in a more timely fashion. It may be late in the season to be thinking about heater repairs, but it really is in your best interest to deal with them right away.
Ideally, you would be able to invest in a great heating or air conditioning system, and then you’d never have to think about that system again. No ongoing maintenance needs, no emergency repairs, no eventual replacement—just a lifelong performance at peak efficiency and reliability levels. Of course, this is the stuff of fantasy—though you probably won’t see it adapted as a big-budget, small-screen series anytime soon.
For many homeowners, the word “heater” immediately conjures up and image of the furnaces in their homes. Furnaces are forced air heaters, meaning that they heat air directly and then distribute that heat throughout the house via a system of ductwork. Like any heater, furnaces have their pros and their cons. Many of these cons are corrected by the way in which a boiler, on the other hand, distributes heat throughout a house. That’s what we are going to be looking at today.
