We receive countless calls every time the temperatures drop below normal ranges, as homeowners here in Canton encounter problems with their home’s heating system. With the record-low temperatures and extreme conditions most of the country is currently experiencing, our The K Company professionals want to share some insights and tips with you to keep your indoors cozy while Old Man Winter blusters away outdoors.
Our team at The K Company, Inc. regularly gets calls about frozen heat pumps. Though common, a heat pump freeze-up usually means your system’s components are not working correctly. Sometimes you can fix it yourself. But oftentimes, you will need to call a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professional, like us, as the problem may require a part replacement or complex repair.
A furnace is a major investment for any Akron homeowner. Although it’s not something that will need to be done frequently, most people will face the decision of needing to purchase a new heating system sometime during home ownership.
This issue happens more often than not with older furnaces, and it could be a sign you are ready to upgrade your Cleveland home’s heating and cooling system with a new model. At the 10-year mark, furnaces start to lose efficiency and begin breaking down more frequently.
It is an “Oh no!” moment when you approach your home’s thermostat and see its screen is blank.
Is it serious? Does it mean your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning is broken? Not necessarily. In fact, most of the time, it is something minor and can be easily fixed.
In the winter, being snug as a bug in a rug in your home can be cozy, but it can also play havoc with your indoor air quality (IAQ) here in Ohio, creating some significant health problems. At The K Company, Inc., we recommend taking precautions to avoid the common issues associated with winter indoor air quality.
If your furnace seems to be producing heat inconsistently around your Canton home to you, you’re not alone. Many homes have varied conditions from room to room, causing spotty heating or cooling.
Homeowners generally favor heat pumps for their efficiency. However, a number of common issues can cause them to run very inefficiently.
Having a team of professionals inspect your HVAC system is great, but if an issue is discovered, it’s important to have it addressed soon.
One reason Ohio homeowners love heat pumps is they function as an all-in-one unit. Instead of purchasing and maintaining a separate furnace and air conditioning system, you can simply transition your heat pump from the heat setting to the cooling setting and vice versa as seasons warrant.
