Traditionally, a central air conditioning system heats with electrical resistance coils or by burning fossil fuels. A heat pump gives the homeowner the freedom of saving money since both of those are expensive options. Heat pumps make a lot of sense in the Spring area because this climate is perfect to help a heat pump operate at peak performance. Heat pumps install easily by replacing existing units and can reach efficiency ratings that are unattainable by other heating options. Additionally, heat pumps are the most reliable and long-lived when compared to traditional options. If your current equipment doesn't need to be replaced then there is no reason to switch. However, if you're shopping around for an update, heat pumps are an excellent alternative to consider, especially as natural gas prices continue to climb.

Most people have experienced an AC unit that is freezing. During certain circumstances, the evaporator coil inside of the blower unit can freeze solid and cause complications like leaks and a lack of cooling. The causes of this condition can be:

• Restricted airflow from dirty filters
• A malfunctioning blower that doesn't move air efficiently
• Refrigerant leaks
• Condensate drain problems

Everyone is probably familiar with the smell that comes from a furnace as it is being turned on for the first time in the season. Sometimes the smell will smell burnt and send homeowners into a panic. In this case, the offensive odor isn’t dangerous. The smell is the result of dust that has built up in the burner while the furnace was idle. To prevent it, schedule fall furnace maintenance before starting the heater. If the burning smells seem different, like maybe plastic is burning or there is a metallic smell like an electrical fire, there could be a serious problem. Shut down the unit until the source of the smell is determined. Seasonal maintenance can not only prevent alarming smells but can also prevent safety issues from occurring.
