Routine Heating Repair & Maintenance

As a homeowner, you depend on your heater to keep you warm and cozy during the harsh winter months, which as we know can be quite cold here in Texas.

However, your heater also depends on you for it to function properly. Waiting until it starts to malfunction before scheduling Heating Repair can quickly wear out your system and consequently reduce its productivity. Your heater needs regular maintenance to increase its efficiency and reduce the need for repairs. Be proactive, don’t let your heater down. Pick up the phone and contact a Heater Repair Forney, TX expert today.

Importance Of Routine Heating Repair & Maintenance

Routine heating repair maintenance has its benefits, so to ensure your heating system stays in good working condition, it is important that these services are carried out regularly. To help you understand the importance of routine heating repair and maintenance, we’ve listed some of its benefits below;
Increased Efficiency
Without regular maintenance, your heater’s energy efficiency level will begin to decline, costing you more money on energy bills. Routine maintenance helps to keep your heater working at maximum efficiency.
Improved Safety
When carrying out maintenance works on your heating system, the technician will check to see if the system is running safely and doesn’t need any urgent repairs. This is highly recommended for heating systems that run on natural gas, as they can be very dangerous if problems are not detected on time.
Extended Life Span
Routine maintenance will ensure that your heating system stays in good working condition. A HVAC technician can reduce the effects of stress on your heater through minor adjustments, thus increasing its useful life value in the process.
Fewer Repairs
Approximately 85% of heating system repairs can be avoided with routine maintenance. This is true because technicians can easily detect potential issues and correct them before they develop into full-blown problems.

Most people who experience problems with their heating systems, often feel getting a replacement heater would be the best option. This isn’t necessary, and the decision to get a new heater should not be made in a haste.

Why Your Heating System Needs Preventive Maintenance

blog Chances are you don’t wait until your car breaks down before you have it serviced. Pretty much a no-brainer, right? Because with routine tire rotation, oil changes, and filter cleaning – among other preventive maintenance tasks – you’re simply going to have a better-running car. One with fewer repairs and a longer road life, too.

And yet you’d be amazed at how many home owners don’t extend the same kind of care and attention to their heating systems, even those who pre-pay for annual preventive maintenance.

If you’re part of that group, we invite you now to consider the top 5 reasons to have your heating system professionally cleaned and inspected, every single year:

Improved operating efficiency. Without regular maintenance, all kinds of things can and do go wrong that decrease your system’s operating efficiency. Filters get dirty and clogged, electrical connections loosen, and other parts need lubricating. That makes your system have to work longer and harder to do the same job. And that drives up your heating costs substantially while greatly increasing the likelihood of potentially costly repairs.

Longer system lifespan. Furnace manufacturers have improved their products to such an extent that when maintained, they can easily last 15 – 20 years. And yet, we routinely see high quality systems fail after as little as 7 years from lack of proper maintenance.

Added safety. When all of the fuel is not completely burned (combusted), carbon monoxide is emitted. Unfortunately, carbon monoxide is odorless, and the consequences of CO emissions can be harmful to your health.

Added comfort. A clean and well-maintained system evenly distributes heat throughout your home, thus eliminating those nagging hot and cold spots you’re probably familiar with.

If need be, replace your system on your terms. During annual system maintenance, we’ll be able to tell if your heating system is past its prime. Either way, we’ll share our findings with you and, if appropriate, explain why replacing your system now makes more sense than waiting for it to completely shut down. If you agree, then you’ll have all the time you need to make an informed, patient, and careful decision on which replacement system is best for your home and budget.

Even your heating system’s manufacturer recommends annual service to help you realize a maximum return on your investment.

So for added peace of mind all winter long, contact Absolute Air today to request our home heating cleaning & inspection service. More than anything, you’ll enjoy the added peace of mind that comes from knowing your system is in top working order.

How to Prepare for a Home Inspection

blog Whether it’s your first or fifth time, buying a house can be an exciting, overwhelming, and nerve wracking experience. Here’s part of the reason why: just when you find the home of your dreams, all those dreams can go up in smoke with a failed home inspection.

That’s why – buyer or seller – we urge you to follow these simple tips to help bring the buying or selling process to a smooth and successful conclusion.

For Sellers

Help ensure a smooth sale by having a home inspection before you list your home. This allows you not only to make repairs in a timely fashion and set a realistic listing price based on any repairs that you may choose to leave to the buyer’s discretion.

Clean your home as you would before entertaining royalty. All too often, buyers show up at a listed property for a showing or inspection only to find the home a total mess which, in turn, can sour their experience and make them fall a little bit out of love.

Make all areas of your home accessible to the prospective buyers. If you have a detached garage, leave the keys or garage door opener in a pre-determined and pre-communicated location. If the entrance to the attic is in a closet, move your belongings out of the way. And if you have cats or dogs, crate them – or better yet, remove them from your home during the inspection. That way there is no fear of them running out as the inspector goes in and out of the house.

For Buyers

Take the time to be at your home inspection, but try to leave the kids with a sitter or family member. The fewer the distractions for the home inspector, the better.

Understand that every home will have problems, even those newly constructed. Luckily, pretty much all such problems are fixable. The question is whether you want to be the one to fix it.

You can always ask the seller to correct things that you deem to be problematic, but in most cases, they’re not obligated to do so. If they say “no” to any of your requests, then you need to decide how badly you want the home.

Once you get the full report, read every bit of it, not just the summary.

Here’s a tip for you sellers. Never under-estimate the value of low energy bills for today’s home buyers. And since home heating and cooling costs typically account for about 60% of your electricity bill, to say nothing of related home energy costs, your home will definitely be more sale worthy if you have your heating and cooling systems professionally cleaned and inspected prior to the home inspection. For outstanding service with results you can depend on, contact Absolute Air today.

Should I Repair or Replace My AC System in Kaufman ?

June is a time for many things: graduations, weddings, family vacations, and air conditioning problems!

We’re at full tilt right now, doing whatever is necessary to help keep customers cool, comfortable, and happy. And yet, the right course of action is not always as clear cut as you might think, especially when an older AC system either shuts down completely or just isn’t operating up to par.

It’s at times like that when we’re most often asked: “Should we repair or replace our system”? Ah, if only we could hand out a rule book that make each such decision easy as pie. But not such book or set of rules exists.

What we can do, however, is offer you some general advice on when the “replace” option usually makes more sense:

How old is your system? – If it’s been on active duty for at least 15 straight years then, according to the law of averages, it doesn’t have very much left in the tank. The average lifespan of a central AC system is 15-20 years. That’s the point when it’s a good idea to start thinking about replacing your system even with any repair problems. That way, you get to dictate replacement system timing, and not your aging current system.

Does your heart skip a beat when you open your electricity bill? – Don’t you just hate that? Well, here’s something to help cool you off: today’s replacement AC systems are so energy efficient, that the money you’ll save on your electricity bill can pay for the new system in just a few years.
How much was that? – Another potentially shocking moment is when you receive an AC system repair estimate. Maybe, for example, you’re thinking $500 or so, tops! But then you look, and look again, and you see it’s about 4 times that amount. Is an old, wearing-down AC system really worth that kind of money? Most of our customers don’t think so.

If you’re at the “repair or replace” threshold, and just aren’t sure which way to step, contact Absolute Air today and we’ll give you our absolute best advice for your home, family, and budget.

Simple Home Improvement Ideas in Forney and Rockwall

Home ownership is much like a relationship. In the beginning, it’s spontaneous and romantic, full of promise and potential. But over time, it can lose its luster, where the things we once found charming and sweet suddenly become annoying. In fact, we can sometimes get so focused on the flaws, that we forget what made us fall in love to begin with.

So this Valentine’s Day – or anytime at all – make an effort to reignite that spark you once had for your home. Here are five simple tips to help you get started.

Drop a few pounds – Clear the clutter from your desks, tables, and counters. Get rid of the stuff you no longer use. Add smart storage solutions throughout your home, like a closet organizer for your bedroom; a coat, shoe, and accessory organizer for your mudroom; or, drawer organizers for your kitchen.

Switch things up – It’s easy to get bored with your surroundings. But you can easily change the look and feel of a space with a few new accent pieces or a new furniture arrangement. Add a pop of color with new window coverings, an area rug, or a new table centerpiece.

Fix it – Ignoring that nail hole in the wall won’t make it go away. Touch up peeling paint, re-caulk the tub surround, and replace that broken window screen. Nothing makes a home look unkempt like putting off a bunch of little, unsightly problems.

See the light – Lighting is everything. It can make a room feel warm and inviting, while bad lighting creates “drab and dreary.” Consider adding recessed lights in your kitchen for an overall glow, accent lighting to highlight a beautiful built-in, or under-cabinet lighting to make food prep easier and more enjoyable.

Have a sense of humor – Your home should reflect your personality. Are you the outdoorsy type? Place fresh flowers or plants in every room. Love to read? Turn a small closet into a cozy reading nook. Love to travel? Collect interesting pieces from all the places you visit to display in your home.

Speaking of home improvement, how’s your heating system been treating you lately? If you’d give it a “C” grade or worse for its energy efficiency and/or ability to provide whole-house comfort, then contact the home comfort specialists at Absolute Air today for the right solution, and always right on budget.

How to Add Moisture to Your Home in Kaufman and Crandall

One of the things that makes the winter blues even bluer is the dry, itchy skin that often comes along for the ride.

It’s easily explained, in that your home heating system makes for drier indoor air, and drier air leads to dry skin, hair, and more. But “easily explained” doesn’t make it any more fun to deal with. Speaking of no fun, here’s what else dry indoor can cause:

Shrinking and cracked wood floors, furniture, picture frames, etc.
Shock from static electricity
Frizzy, unmanageable hair
Cracked lips
Bloody noses

Even worse, dry air can cause or worsen existing problems with asthma, bronchitis, and other upper respiratory issues.

Well, while we may not have one magic cure-all for the winter blues, we can give you a few practical suggestions for adding moisture to your home throughout the duration of the heating season:

Instead of putting all your washed clothes in the drier, hang some of them up to dry indoors.
While you’re baking something in the oven, place a large pan of water on the stove. It can’t help but warm up, gradually evaporate, and add some much-needed moisture to your air.
If you have floor vents or baseboard units, place a bowl of water on or right nearby each one. Once again, the water will gradually evaporate and help eliminate a good chunk of the dryness.
Buy some house plants, or add to your existing collection. They represent a natural means to humidify the air around you.

For a more global solution, contact Absolute Air for air conditioning services crandall TX and ask about a whole-house humidity control system, one that adds much needed moisture to your home during the winter, and then extracts excess humidity while your AC system is running. That way, you’ll feel considerably better and more comfortable all year long, and you’ll save money on your home heating and cooling costs.
