Monday, February 6th, 2023

Don’t Neglect These Late Season Heating Repair Needs

Monday, February 22nd, 2021

Alright, let’s face it, our winters are pretty brief. In fact, in other parts of the country we are pretty sure folks would laugh at us if we told them what residents here consider “cold,” right? Especially the last couple of weeks!

Still though, you are probably like most Gulf Breeze residents and used your heater a little bit, right? Regardless of whether your furnace gets used for months or only gets a little “airtime” each heating season, the fact is that sooner or later it will need repairs. This is particularly true if you have an aging system—one that is 10-15 years old.

Of course, with such minimal use, and because we’re almost done with winter anyway around here, you might be tempted to put off late-season heating repair needs, right? We really encourage you not to do this, as it could leave you with a broken-down system next fall when you need it again. Or depending on the problem, it could impact your AC system too. But how do you know if you have late-season heating repair needs?

Signs Your Furnace Is Struggling

Monday, January 25th, 2021

It’s the middle of winter… which doesn’t mean much for Florida residents. But let’s face it, the contrast in temperature definitely makes winter feel cold to us in comparison to summer! And when we get cold, we want a heating system that functions like it is supposed to, while doing so affordably, right?

The best way to keep your furnace working well is with maintenance. Professional, annual, furnace maintenance allows our technicians to fully inspect, clean, and adjust your furnace. This ensures that it operates as efficiently and effectively as possible, for as long as possible.

That doesn’t mean, however, that your furnace will never have a repair need between maintenance sessions. In fact, due to natural wear and tear or even unprecedented damage, you could find yourself facing a few repair needs over the course of the system’s lifespan. The important thing here is to be aware of when your furnace is showing signs of repair needs, so you can call us right away, before those needs become much more urgent.

Read on as we uncover some of the most common signs of a struggling furnace!

Is Heater Maintenance Worth It?

Monday, January 11th, 2021

Let’s face it. “Florida” and “cold” are rarely words we see used in the same sentence. It’s true, our winters are relatively mild when you compare them to what the rest of the country experiences. Still though, when our temperatures drop, the drastic difference is enough to make us feel chilly. While 60°F is “nice” to those who live in the Midwest, it’s downright arctic to us!

Alright, maybe that’s a little dramatic. But the point is, we need fully functional and efficiently operating heating systems in our homes to stay comfortable in the wintertime. But how can you ensure that yours is fully functional and is operating as well as it can? Well, with maintenance!

So, yes, heater maintenance is worth it. But don’t just take our word for it and stop reading here! Continue on as we uncover why you should call for heater maintenance today if you haven’t done so in a year or longer.
