It’s Easy To Be Thankful for These Professional Heating & Cooling Services
Holidays may be about spending time with family and eating lots of delicious food, but it’s also about remembering to be grateful for the things in life that are so easy to take for granted. Even something as simple as having a home to live in is worth being thankful for - many people aren’t so fortunate.
To take it one step further, a home with a working HVAC system is even more of a blessing. Then, of course, it’s impossible not to consider the professional men and women who keep that system functioning. This article will outline three invaluable services that HVAC technicians provide to illustrate how they keep homes safe and comfortable year after year.
Providing Heat All Winter
Most homeowners dread the thought of having their furnace go on the fritz in the middle of a bitterly cold winter night - which, incidentally, is when it tends to happen the most. A house without a working heater can get dangerously cold, dangerously fast. The whole family will need to bundle up around a space heater or fireplace or retreat to a motel or neighbor’s house to stay warm.
Fortunately, such an unpleasant scenario can usually be avoided with the help of a heating service professional. Most heater issues stem from inadequate maintenance, so having a pro perform routine heater service is the best way to ensure the unit does its job all winter. But even if an unexpected problem does arise, it’s good to have a dependable HVAC company that can show up at a moment’s notice and perform furnace repairs (or an all-out replacement) quickly.
Providing Cold Air All Summer
Pennsylvania summers may not be as extreme as the winters, but they’re nothing to scoff at, either. Just as losing heat in the winter can be an unpleasant and dangerous experience, so can losing cooling power in the summer. There’s still enough heat to cause heatstroke or hazardous levels of dehydration - so keeping the AC in good shape is crucial.
If the AC is malfunctioning, the home may also become very humid, which can cause all kinds of problems in its own right, such as mold growth and wood damage. HVAC technicians can perform maintenance and inspections to ensure the system is ready for summer - not to mention show up without delay should the unit stop working in the middle of a hot and muggy day.
Ensuring High Indoor Air Quality
Another vital service HVAC techs provide is to improve a home’s indoor air quality (IAQ). Poor indoor air quality - a high concentration of pollutants in the air - can threaten the health of everyone in the home, so maintaining high IAQ is essential.
Staying on top of air filter replacement and keeping the heating and cooling systems well-maintained go a long way in improving IAQ, but they can only do so much. Other methods HVAC professionals use are regular duct cleaning, installing air purifiers or UV air sanitizers (which help neutralize harmful airborne pollutants), and maintaining proper humidity levels using a whole-home humidifier (or dehumidifier).
Whether they’re repairing a busted AC, performing seasonal furnace maintenance, or providing any number of air quality services, HVAC technicians work hard to ensure the safety and comfort of homeowners everywhere - and that’s something to be thankful for!
