24 Hour Emergency Service
As the chilly October winds start to creep in, your home’s boiler might be hiding some spooky secrets. You don’t need to be afraid, however! Robbins Heating & Air Conditioning is here to guide you through the eerie signs that your boiler might be in need of saving. So, grab your flashlight and let’s explore the haunted world of HVAC!
Well, it’s not really haunted. All these signs have logical explanations…
As a homeowner, sometimes it can be challenging to know when to call for emergency AC repair and when it can wait. Of course, when the forecast calls for triple-digit temperatures and your AC won’t turn on, then it’s obviously an emergency situation. But sometimes it’s more nuanced than that.
For example, what if your AC isn’t working optimally but it’s late summer and you don’t think you’ll need it until spring? Then what should you do? It gets tricky, doesn’t it? Let’s explore this topic in detail so you’ll know when to pick up the phone pronto and when to wait it out.
It may be officially summer, but temperatures here in Colorado can turn on a dime. And although it may seem strange to think about your heating system in the middle of summer, it’s actually the ideal time to consider how well it’ll perform when temperatures drop unexpectedly.
If you’re feeling uncertain about the state of your home’s heating system, now’s a great time to do research on what type of system might suit your needs. Many homeowners wonder if boiler systems are still reliable and affordable options for heating your home. Our answer is yes, without a doubt. Read on to learn about the benefits.
Heat pump systems should operate quietly. The only sound it should make is when it turns on and off and the gentle whoosh of air flowing from the vents. But every now and then, they’re likely to create some noise.
However, this doesn’t mean that every sound it ever makes is normal. There are certain sounds that mean your heat pump in Colorado Springs is due for some attention from our professional HVAC technicians.
Although some of these noises will occur when you are already noticing poor performance from your heat pump, some of them could be an early warning sign. It’s important to pay attention to any unusual noises your heat pump makes to make sure a minor sound doesn’t turn into a major headache. Keep your ears peeled for any of these problematic noises.
We’ve experienced some intense heat waves lately that might have challenged your HVAC system in Colorado Springs. How well does your AC perform when temperatures skyrocket and it’s under duress? You can’t afford to have your AC break down during a heat wave. Let’s look at things you can do to hopefully avoid that from happening.
When unusually high temperatures strike, a common question we get from homeowners is, “What temperature should I set my AC at during a heat wave?” In a nutshell, the answer is you should set it at the highest temperature that you’re comfortable with, but we’ll answer this in more detail below.
Today’s home comfort systems are designed to work effortlessly and quietly so that homeowners hardly even know they’re on. When it comes to your home’s air conditioning system, it should be relatively quiet. All you should hear is the sound it makes when it turns off and on and the quiet flow of air from the vents.
When all’s not right with your air conditioner, it’ll be sure to let you know. The most obvious way it’ll do so is by disrupting your home’s harmony with loud and sometimes obnoxious sounds. You shouldn’t ignore these sounds for many reasons, the primary reason being that doing so will only make whatever issue is causing the noise worse. If you hear any of these noises, be sure to call us for AC repair in Colorado Springs so we can restore your home’s harmony ASAP.
If you’ve ever searched for a tutorial on YouTube, you’ve probably found at least one video on the subject you were looking for. It seems like there’s a video for just about anything you want to learn how to do. When you combine the accessibility of YouTube videos with the fact that so many people are visual learners, it’s easy to see why it’s become so popular for DIYers.
However, there are some things you should never make a DIY attempt at, even if it seems like you’ve found a helpful tutorial. One of these is the installation of HVAC systems. Not only is it potentially dangerous, but you also run the risk of damaging the expensive system you just spent a hefty chunk of change on. Here are reasons you shouldn’t attempt a DIY AC installation in Colorado Springs.
The bad news is that your air conditioner needs to be replaced. The good news is that you’ve never had so many options for cooling your home. It’s quite possible that there’s a better option for cooling your home than the outdated AC that hasn’t been serving you well.
The first step in any AC replacement is researching your options and knowing what you want. Let’s go over all of the options there are for cooling your home. We know that the thought of a new air conditioning installation in Colorado Springs is a stressful one but we’re here to make the process as easy as possible.
If you have a boiler in your home that’s nearing the end of its lifespan, you’ve got a bit of a dilemma on your hands. If you’ve been happy with the solid service and reliability your boiler has provided, you may be wondering if you should get a new one when the time comes or replace it with a different kind of system.
A boiler usually outlasts other types of heating systems such as gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps. But a boiler won’t run forever and perhaps you’ve needed boiler repair in Colorado Springs too often for your liking. Once you’ve had 15-20 years of solid service from your home’s boiler, perhaps it’s time to consider having it replaced. Let’s go over the signs that you have a boiler that’s ready for retirement.
A heat pump is the workhorse of a home. It pulls double duty to cool and heat your home year-round. Because it works so hard in the winter, spring, summer, and fall, it’s important to know the signs your heat pump in Colorado Springs needs repair.
Luckily, just like with any major mechanical system, your heat pump gives some noticeable signals when it’s in distress. This is especially true for a heat pump that hasn’t been serviced twice a year on a regular basis. If you notice any of these problems with your heat pump, give us a call to schedule a heat pump repair.
