We all know the difference between the heating and cooling settings on a thermostat.
But what’s the difference between the On or Auto switch? How does this setting impact the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in your Salem home?
Is this a serious issue—does it mean your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning is broken? Not necessarily. In fact, most of the time, it is something minor and can be easily fixed!
From replacing air filters to scheduling maintenance, cleaning your cooling system can prevent breakdowns and keep your home comfortable.
Your fuel-burning furnace has a number of mechanisms allowing it to run safely and effectively. These features prevent fires and protect your indoor air quality (IAQ). They also work to prevent internal errors from damaging large portions of your furnace.
Everyone loves to save money, and it’s a good idea to review different aspects of your budget now and again to see if there are more opportunities you have missed in the past. Considering how to reduce your energy bills is always a great idea in the springtime.
The same goes for a heat pump. The outdoor unit might be in perfect working condition. Still, the heating and cooling process stops without an indoor evaporator coil, connecting refrigerant lines, and a fan to blow conditioned air through ductwork.
Furnace filters. They’re one of those items not really on the top of everyone’s minds, but they are important and can have a big impact. At Mill Creek Heating LLC, we know with the right furnace filter, you can save money and improve your Albany indoor air quality (IAQ) in one fell swoop.
ENERGY STAR® recommends keeping it 7 to 10 degrees cooler when you are sleeping during the winter to save on utility costs.
Our team of experts understands how high energy bills can rise, especially during peak seasons where your heating and cooling expenses increase.
The average life span of a furnace is 15 to 20 years, but this can vary greatly depending on how well you have maintained your system.
