Monday, October 18th, 2021

We want to reassure you upfront that natural gas furnaces are not “dangerous” appliances to have in a home. If they were general health hazards, they wouldn’t be allowed into homes in the first place. Modern manufacturers of HVAC equipment build furnaces to the highest safety standards and with multiple precautions built in. If you’ve regularly maintained your furnace and scheduled furnace repair in Pasadena, CA whenever it wasn’t working right, there is minimal chance of the furnace operating unsafely.

But any appliance that burns natural gas can potentially create health hazards because of toxic gas byproducts, and it’s important to know about what may go wrong. In this post, we’re going to look at one potential gas furnace danger and what to do about it: the cracked heat exchanger.

Here’s Why Now Is the Perfect Time for a Heating Tune-Up!

Monday, October 4th, 2021

We don’t get the kind of seasons around here that we see in movies and on television. That’s a good thing in our opinion since we get beautiful sunny weather and mild winters for the majority of the year. No crazy snowstorms for us!

That doesn’t mean we’re off the hook though. Our heaters need to be in good shape when the winter rolls around, otherwise, we’ll still be cold and uncomfortable, especially during the night. It’s important that you schedule your heater for maintenance around this time to help it last longer and run efficiently. Heating systems that undergo a routine tune-up every year will not only save you money in the long run, but will also need repairs less often than an unmaintained system.

Today, we’re going to talk about the benefits of a heater tune-up. We’ll specify why fall is the perfect time of year to get your heater serviced by a professional.

Monday, September 9th, 2019

While things are certainly cooling down in our area now that we’re moving through September, residents around here know that they can’t just put their air conditioning systems out of mind. Whether you just want to be prepared for the occasionally hotter day to come, or you’re thinking in the long term, you definitely want to be prepared.

There are some individuals out there who may try to convince you that the only way to do so is to invest in a brand new,  likely quite expensive,  air conditioning system.

But there are other options to consider that come with a much smaller price tag.

Furnace Repair Services Can’t Always Wait

Monday, February 26th, 2018

heating-servicing-callsWe live in Southern California, which means that we tend to focus much more on our heating systems than our air conditioning systems. When we run into problems with our furnace, it doesn’t tend to hit us as hard as it might back east, which can lead homeowners to sit on a furnace problem when it arises.

This is invariably a mistake. The sooner one deals with a furnace problem, the better, and while we only have a few weeks of cool weather left in the season, getting an issue addressed by a professional quickly can save you a lot of money and heartache.

Furnace Repair Shouldn’t Fill in for Furnace Replacement

Monday, January 1st, 2018

commercial-air-conditionersSummer ends late here, as the warm temperatures we’ve recently experienced have shown. Only now, with Halloween looming, are many of us turning off our air conditioners in favor of our heaters, which makes now a good time to get your system checked for any problems, and repaired if any are found. This goes doubly true for commercial properties such as office buildings and retail spaces, which need a reliable air conditioner to do business and might not have been able to shut it off before now because their operations depend on it.

AC Repair Calls Can Come Day or Night

Monday, August 28th, 2017

AC-repair-servicesAir conditioners are far more than a luxury in Southern California, especially in the foothill communities where temperatures can hit triple digits well past Labor Day. We never anticipate a sudden, unexpected breakdown in an air conditioner, but when it comes, you need to get it dealt with fast before your home feels as hot and unpleasant as the outside air does.
