As winter rolls in, it’s extremely important you know how to prevent pipes from freezing. The areas where pipes are most susceptible to freezing include the attic, basement, crawlspace, and exterior walls. These problem areas are typically poorly insulated, allowing the cold air to have a greater effect on plumbing.
Your furnace has been sitting around, idle, all summer long. Most people don’t even think about their heating system until temperatures drop, and unfortunately, by then it might be too late to fix any small problems before winter starts.
Standard home inspections provide valuable information about visible plumbing and HVAC components, but they can’t identify everything. If you’re getting ready to buy a new home or are scheduling a home inspection, be sure to ask these questions to ensure you’re informed about your next house.
Chicagoland’s oldest homes are more vulnerable to freeze-thaw cycles than most. Ignoring furnace maintenance can increase the risk of frozen pipes, leading to costly water damage and plumbing repairs.
When the first cold snap hits, or the first muggy week of summer rolls in, you might wonder, “Should I be doing something about my furnace or AC?” You probably should, but don’t worry, we’re here to help.
Is your home struggling to maintain the same temperature from room to room?
Uneven cooling is usually a symptom of something specific, but it could also be a wide variety of potential issues.
The moment you sign the closing papers on your first home, you inherit a heating and cooling system you’ve probably never had to think about before.
When your furnace or air conditioners are working as they should, it’s easy to put maintenance on the back burner. But, the longer you put off regular maintenance of your heating and cooling systems, the more expensive your energy bills and repairs will be.
Before things go bad, there are a few signs that your HVAC unit might need replacing sooner than later. Knowing what to look out for helps you better prepare to limit your heating and cooling downtime.
The days are growing longer and the temps are getting warmer. You’re thinking about summer barbecues and swimming lessons. Take a moment to also consider re-acclimating your home.
