Congratulations on your electric furnace! The simple fact that your furnace is electric means that your home is being heated with high levels of efficiency. While some energy is lost from even the newest and most energy-efficient gas furnaces, every bit of energy that your electric furnace consumes is turned into heat for your home. There are still things that can gradually decrease the efficiency of your electric furnace over time. To keep that high-efficiency level, follow these tips.
While you’re enjoying the beautiful weather and foliage of autumn in Connecticut, keep in mind that the heating season is just about here. If you haven’t had to turn your heat on for a cold night just yet, you will soon. And when you do, you want that heat to be reliable. We hope you heeded our advice and scheduled your heater maintenance so you can be aware of any concerns before you require heat. But even if you did, it’s important to be aware of the signs that indicate your heater needs repair.
What’s that you say? You’re still using your air conditioner, so it’s not really fall yet? Well, perhaps there will still be some hot days, and then there will certainly be some mild ones, but we all know that the days are getting shorter, and winter is creeping closer. It’s time to schedule heating maintenance because you don’t want to be caught by surprise when the first truly cold weather arrives.
There are several reasons to schedule your maintenance sooner than you think you need to, and they all involve avoiding inconvenience, saving money, or both.
You may have encountered this scenario in many aspects of your life: something has gone wrong, and instead of having it addressed promptly, you delayed repairing an item or system. You kept using it. Then, when you finally got around to seeking repairs, you found that ignoring a small problem had caused a much larger problem to occur. This can happen with many things—a bicycle, a car, a gutter on your house. And it can definitely happen with your air conditioner.
But what if you want to get repairs done as soon as a problem occurs, to avoid having this unpleasant scenario play out… and you simply don’t know how to tell when there is a problem with your air conditioner? Here are some basic signs you can keep an eye (or an ear) out for so that you’ll know when it’s time to call a professional.
An air conditioning unit is a complex system with many components. Although regular maintenance and any necessary repairs should be done by professionals, there is one thing you can–and should!–do yourself to keep your air conditioner running as efficiently as possible and decrease the likelihood of costly repairs down the line. Changing the air filter is a simple process and will only take a moment. If you’re unsure what to do, we’ve got you covered. Follow these directions, and your air conditioner will thank you.
About this time of year, the battle over the thermostat begins in earnest. We’ve enjoyed a very mild start to the winter, but the solstice has come and gone, and you can count on temperatures becoming seasonal. This means you can also count on your thermostat being the center of many comfort issues. What if we told you we have the perfect solution to your problem? Let us elaborate a little more below.
It looks like the weather has finally caught up to our holiday season, meaning you have turned on your heating system for the season. Forced air systems can heat homes very quickly, but they can also dry out your indoor air. Every home needs a certain amount of moisture, aka, humidity, to be comfortable and balanced. Otherwise you may develop itchy skin, dried out eyes, noses and throats, and even see damage to wood products in the form of splintering and cracking. One of the best ways to keep your indoor humidity levels balanced during the winter months is by using a whole home humidifier.
This is the time of year when time flies. It’s the last push to the end of the year for businesses, the holidays are around the corner and daylight gets shorter and shorter each day until just before Christmas. It can be very easy to forget to take care of your commercial heating system, but you don’t want to be reminded when the system malfunctions and requires repair. So do yourself and your business a favor and call to schedule maintenance for your heating system before the holidays hit.
There have been a number of storms heading up the coast since August, and we have been lucky that they’ve missed us. But we won’t be lucky every time, and as we have seen, a lot of our weather has been extreme enough to shut down the power for several days at a time. One of the best ways to protect your family and your home during prolonged power outages is by installing a whole home generator. The electrical pros at Celco Heating and Air Conditioning have years of experience with whole home generators, but first, let’s take a look at some reasons why they are important.
Are you feeling that chill in the air in the evenings? Are you looking at your wood pile picking out the choice pieces for your first fire of the year? It is that time of year, but we have one question to ask you: have you called your Celco Heating and Air Conditioning expert to schedule annual fireplace cleaning? If not, then it’s time to give us a call.
