Cooling season is coming to a close, even though it’s taking its sweet time. And heating season won’t be here for another few weeks. This is precisely the reason why some people love the fall, we get a brief period of time where temperatures are mild and we don’t even need our HVAC systems! It’s the perfect time to go check out some fall foliage, take that last hike of the season, and save money on your energy bills.
That being said, winter weather will soon hit Franklinville, Gloucester City, Swedesboro, and other areas in our county. Everyone in those towns will need powerful heating systems to remain comfortable. This includes you if you’re reading this blog post and are in our service area!

You might be happy with the fact that temperatures are finally starting to warm up, but forgetting about your heater is the last thing you should be doing right now. Your heating system, like it or not, is going to be required for next winter, and even the winter beyond that. So, if there’s a problem with your system now, it’s not going to go away and will likely get worse over the months where your system sits collecting dust.
Winter can be hard. This year is especially hard with a global pandemic and so many other related hardships for the folks in our area. The least we can do is help your heater work the way it should and promptly address any problems.

We talk a lot on this blog about the importance of professional service. Sometimes, especially in regard to heating problems, there’s just nothing you can do as a homeowner that won’t risk safety, further damage, or the voiding of your warranty. The HVAC industry is a place where professionals are becoming more and more important, and you can’t just call an amateur that works for a few bucks an hour.

It’s the first week of fall and you’ve excitedly turned your heater on for the first time. You’re probably happy to feel that warm air draft in through your air ducts as you get cozy under a blanket with a book. Come on, did you forget that fall is the coziest season?
Before you start thinking about how sad it is that summer is ending, remember to think about the fun times ahead! Spooky Halloween costumes, cozy holiday parties in December, there’s really no season that doesn’t have it’s perks, right? So, in light of the changing seasons, it’s time to start thinking about your heating system.
Fall is a time of changing leaves, spooky Halloween decorations and lowering temperatures. In order to enjoy all the other benefits that come with this cozy season, your heater needs to be in working order. Otherwise, you’ll be spending most of the fall worried and stressed out about the condition your heater is in.
We don’t expect you to be able to answer that question right away. In fact, most homeowners have no idea how efficiently their system is running at all, mainly because as long as it gets the job done, what’s the point of noticing how efficient it is?
Heaters are not supposed to make noise. No, this isn’t dependent on the type of furnace you have, from boilers to ductless heat pumps, they’re all supposed to operate relatively quietly. That’s why these sounds are so important to notice—they can clue you in on a sinister problem that’s starting to develop within your heater.
