Have You Had Your Home Winterized Yet?

The U.S. Department of Energy has estimated that as much as 30% of energy in a home is wasted because of drafts. However, there are a few fixes that you can accomplish yourself that can cut down on this and make your home more energy efficient. One way is to use the old fashioned draft snake to keep cold air from entering your home or warm air from escaping under the door. The old snake at the door is a great solution, but there are some even better ideas that will go a lot farther in creating a warmer climate indoors when the weather is cold outside during long winter months. One of the best ways to add to the energy efficiency of your heater is to have regular heater maintenance performed each year. Your professional HVAC service company can schedule this for you and that way there will be no need to worry that everything is all set when outside temperatures begin inching their way toward the freezing mark. Heating service will also increase the efficiency of this appliance. If you are thinking about new heater installation, this is a good time to discuss that with your HVAC contractor.

It might seem counterintuitive, but the onset of cooler weather marks the perfect time to get a home heater repair and service.  We serve customers all across the San Fernando valley, from Burbank to Thousand Oaks.

Many people hold off on repairing their unit and seeing if the furnace will survive the season.

How to Avoid 90% of All System Failures

Dirt.  Five year olds love it, plants can’t live without it, and you’re breathing it in every day.  Not just breathing it in – you’re paying to inhale the largest cause of your home’s dust and allergy problems. You’re probably thinking that’s an exaggeration.  But the simple truth is that you are paying to run your heating and cooling system, more and more as the weather heats up.  And since dirt is the number one cause of system failure – 90% of all failures, in fact – chances are good that dirt is keeping your system from running at peak efficiency. Before you invest in a family set of gas masks or prepare for a nomadic existence in the Sahara (hey, at least then you won’t be paying for the dirt), you might want to give your heating and cooling professional a call. “Your system works hard,” says MightyServ. “It’s constantly circulating and cooling the air that keeps your family comfortable. Like anything else that works, it gets dirty and has to be cleaned. Scheduling the maintenance for your home’s heating and cooling system is as important as changing the oil in your car – if you don’t do it, eventually

3 Benefits of Duct Sealing Service

By insulating and sealing your ducts, you can improve the efficiency of your system dramatically. Your conditioned air can easily be thrown back into areas that are not conditioned with proper ducts or ones that are improperly sealed. You will definitely be losing efficiency when this happens. Also, the non-conditioned air will be pulled by the non-sealed ducts and will cause your system to work that much harder to keep the desired humidity and temperature in your home. Different appliances such as furnaces and water heaters can also release gases that are dangerous like carbon monoxide which may then get sucked into the ducts through return ducts that are leaky. With that said, below are 3 benefits of duct sealing services. Energy savings This is usually the most common reason why people look for duct sealing services. When you are saving energy, you are going to lower your energy bills, which means a job that is high quality, can pay for itself over the years in energy savings. It also benefits our environment to conserve energy. The less amount of energy you use to keep your home comfortable, the less of an environmental impact it will have. Comfort Often, you

Canyon country home air conditioning: preventative maintenance

One of the most important services an HVAC company can provide is preventative maintenance. Even if you have an AC system that seems to be running perfectly day after day, it may be time for you to have a certified technician come and check the system over. He will be able to do many little, inexpensive jobs that could keep you from ever needing to make a service call after a total breakdown. Preventative maintenance is one of the best ways to keep your home comfortable all year around. For example, your drain lines could be leaking slightly, making it harder for the HVAC system to drain away the excess water that is collected while it is running, especially in very hot weather. It will probably still be running, and you may not even notice any lessening in performance levels, but that does not mean that all is well. If the drain line stops working entirely, you will have quite the problem on your hands. However, a preventative maintenance call for your Canyon Country home air conditioning system could catch this leak and repair it while it is still small and inconsequential. When you work with a HVAC company they

Inventors Devise New Way To Maintain a Comfortable Body Temperature

Most people’s first instinct when they feel too warm or too cool in their home is to head for the thermostat on their central heating or air conditioning system. Inventors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), however, have produced a new device which could help people maintain a comfortable body temperature without having to leave their seat. The idea of a personal cooling device would probably sound like science fiction to most people. The MIT team, though, have managed to produce a wristband device which can cool or warm someone according to their own personal preference. The new device also impressed judges in the MITs Making and Designing Materials Engineering Competition (MADMEC), where the device was considered worth a $10,000 prize. Known as Wristify, the appliance could soon be heading onto the mass market. Before that point, though, there is still much work to be done. The four MIT alumni and students who designed the device were largely motivated by what they saw as the mounting financial and social costs of energy consumption in the United States. A great deal of the energy used today, perhaps as much as 16.5 percent of the USA’s total energy usage, is devoted

Standby generators available

Power outages and fluctuations cost the U.S. $30 billion in productivity annually. But there is protection from an unexpected power outage for the average homeowners: adding automatic power generators to their total heating and cooling systems. The Automatic Home Standby Generator from Carrier is more convenient and more powerful than retail portable generators, offering homeowners the ability to restore power and maintain a relatively normal routine during power outages. Unlike portable generators that must be refilled with gas, using up to 400 gallons over a two-week span, the Automatic Home Standby Generator is powered by natural or LP gas and is permanently fixed outside the home. When power outages occur, the system automatically senses loss of electricity and restores power to the selected circuits in about 30 seconds. The Carrier generator enables the continuous operation of vital equipment in the home powering up to 12 circuits. Now, during power outages a resident can enjoy a safe, comfortable and inhabitable home without any interruption of service from electrical appliances like heating and cooling systems, refrigerators and freezers, TV’s and much more. Give us a call for more information!
