If you own a business or a commercial building, your HVAC system might be one of your biggest concerns. That’s especially true if you have an aging HVAC system or one that isn’t meeting the current needs of your building. But business owners have a lot of other things they need to focus on! You should be able to rely on your HVAC system. If you don’t have a rooftop unit, you might be amazed at how much better they can make things for your building. There’s a reason most commercial buildings have rooftop units for their HVAC systems. Actually, there are several reasons!
We talk often on this blog about some of the components of your air conditioner being particularly critical to its operation. The refrigerant is an obvious one, since that’s what absorbs the heat from your home and then releases it outside. And the compressor is what makes all that possible, pressurizing that refrigerant and keeping it moving. But no amount of cooling power will actually keep your home comfortable if the blower fan doesn’t work.
Here are three of the most common issues that can cause your air conditioner’s blower fan to stop delivering that cool air to where it’s needed.
It’s possible that you’ve never heard the phrase sacrificial anode rod. You might not even know where in your home you would find one—but it’s there. Any guesses? The anode rod is a component of your tank water heater, and while the water heater itself may last for 15 years or more, the anode rod won’t. It’s a part that needs to be replaced regularly, which is why it is referred to as sacrificial. If all this comes as a surprise to you, read on. We’d love to shed some light on this mysterious topic.
When your furnace starts up to run a heating cycle, you may notice some noise. This noise is normal and not a call for concern. Older furnaces tend to be a bit noisier than modern ones, as newer models are designed to run quietly.
However, sudden and unusual loud noises should not be ignored. Strange noises can indicate serious problems or damage to your heater and a sign that you need heating repair in Stamford, CT.
It’s crucial to watch out for screeching, rattling, or banging sounds that your heating system may produce.
If your furnace keeps turning on and off repeatedly, cycling too quickly between the heating cycle and the resting or cool-down period, you have a short-cycling problem. Short-cycling wastes energy and actually damages the furnace by causing it to run at above normal temperatures for an extended period of time. This can lead to breakdowns and costly repairs.
As you might have noticed, the furnace in your home turns on and off several times per hour, sometimes even more frequently. Depending on how cold it is, it may do so even more often—even hourly. This cycling is necessary because climate control isn’t like flipping a switch, and a “constant” temperature doesn’t really exist as far as your furnace is concerned. When it happens too frequently, though, your furnace is likely out of whack.
The furnace in your home is just like any other machine, in the sense that it has moving parts that need to work in a certain way for your home to be warm. When something goes wrong with the way it operates, problems are bound to arise. This can lead to gaps in heat or hot and cold spots in your home. Having regular service performed on your furnace can help prevent short cycling from happening and other serious issues from developing within the system…

Radiant floor systems, baseboard radiators, and steam radiators are great for centralized heating of a building. However, the effectiveness of these heating articles primarily depends on how good the boiler is working at the backend.
