When we do a fall tune-up, we have a checklist of items we always go through to make sure every part of your system is working properly.
We came out early Sunday morning because one of our customers said their unit was not cooling. We don’t want anyone to have to wait in this heat!
We get a lot of calls from customers who see ice on their air conditioning units. Sometimes you can look down into the compressor in the outdoor unit and find that it’s encased in ice!
You are never supposed to need refrigerant in your AC system. It’s true! So if you have a refrigerant loss, that means you have a leak somewhere.
At Jaric, we will always give you options, but we will also help you find the best solution for your HVAC situation. The cheapest solution is sometimes not the best solution in the long run.
We recently serviced an air conditioner that hadn’t had a filter change in over a year. Eventually, it became so clogged that no air could flow through the filter, and it froze their system. It was so frozen that it took hours to thaw!
What time of year is it? You guessed it, it’s tune-up season! We are hitting a lot of tune-ups every day, and we are hitting them hard.
If you haven’t had your spring tune-up yet, call us! We will make sure both your upstairs and downstairs equipment is doing everything it’s supposed to do to keep your home comfortable for the summer.
Let’s talk about the heat exchanger in your furnace. Once your heat exchanger gets to be about 20 years old it’s likely to have developed rust. And once you’ve got rust, you’ll end up with cracks and holes in the exchanger.
If the coil is cold, and it’s cold outside, it will start to frost. When this happens the unit will have a period of defrost time. It will make some noises you’re not used to hearing, and you’ll see that steam, but there’s nothing wrong with your unit!
We’ve been getting questions from our heat pump customers about when to turn on emergency heat. The answer is: try to wait as long as you can before you turn on your emergency heat.
When we do a fall tune-up, we always head up to the attic to make sure your furnace is working properly. We want to make sure you are safe and warm for the winter season.
