You Need Professionals to Fix These Furnace Problems

Monday, February 19th, 2024

We discourage people from attempting to repair their HVAC systems on their own. We’re even more adamant when it comes to trying amateur repairs on a furnace. Some basic troubleshooting is fine—we encourage that—but anything that involves taking out tools and tinkering around inside the furnace is off-limits. It’s that’s not just us saying that. In many jurisdictions, it’s illegal for anyone to work on a gas furnace unless they have proper certification. It’s an issue of safety: for you, your family, and your neighborhood.

We’re going to go through several common furnace repairs that you must leave to the professionals. If you’re in any doubt about whether you need a furnace repair in Greenville, SC or not, don’t hesitate to call us. Caution is the best method when it comes to a malfunctioning furnace.

Some Ways You Can Use a Ductless Mini Split in Your Home

Monday, January 22nd, 2024

Ductless mini splits are changing the ways that people heat and cool their homes. Instead of needing to rely on a built-in network of ducts and a central cooling and heating system, they can instead install a ductless mini split that uses wall-mounted air handlers (all connected to a single outdoor unit) to send conditioned air around the home.

But what if your home already has ductwork? Does that mean there’s no reason to have a ductless mini split installation in Greenville, SC? Not necessarily. Ductless mini splits are flexible devices that can serve different purposes. You can use this flexibility in your home as well.

It’s Still Not Too Late to Arrange for Heating Maintenance!

Monday, December 11th, 2023

Regular maintenance for your HVAC system is one of the best gifts you can give to it. And that means it’s one of the best gifts you can give yourself because you’ll have a heating system that will keep your family warm with few troubles through the season and save you money.

We recommend our customers schedule their heating maintenance in Greenville, SC with us during the fall. It’s good timing that ensures heaters are prepared for whenever the first cold weather arrives and they have to get to work.

But what if you missed the fall months for making an appointment? No, don’t decide your heater can just sit out maintenance for the year. That’s a huge mistake! It’s better to get it done later than not at all, and since our winters are shorter than others, you’re still not too far behind. (After all, winter doesn’t technically start until more than a week after we post this.)

Here’s the important thing to keep in mind about heating maintenance tune-ups and inspections: there is no expiration date for maintenance. You don’t lose out on all the benefits if you miss the recommended window. As long as you have maintenance for your heating system each year, you’re in excellent shape—far better than if you skipped it.
