Even for the most seasoned homeowner, heating, cooling and plumbing issues can really make you scratch your head sometimes. No sweat, we’ve got answers to some of the most common questions we get:
What are the signs my furnace needs maintenance or repair?
If you’re hearing strange noises, noticing uneven heating, or your energy bills are suddenly through the roof, those are red flags something’s up with your furnace. Regular professional tune-ups can help prevent breakdowns and keep things running at peak efficiency.
How do I know if my AC system is energy-efficient?
Take a look at the SEER rating – anything below 13 is considered pretty inefficient by today’s standards. If your cooling system is on the older side, chances are it’s an energy hog costing you way more than it should each month. Upgrading to a modern, high-efficiency AC can make a world of difference.
When should I call a plumber for a clogged drain?
As soon as the plunger and store-bought drain cleaners have failed you! Letting slow drains or clogs fester can lead to bigger headaches down the line like pipe damage, leaks and nasty odors taking over your home. Best to bring in the pros at the first sign of trouble.
Why is my water heater not producing enough hot water?
Could be a few different issues there – sediment buildup reducing capacity, a faulty thermostat, or you may just have an undersized unit for your home’s hot water needs. Having an expert inspect and repair it (or recommend an upgrade to a tankless model) is your best bet.
What are the benefits of regular HVAC maintenance?
Keeping up with seasonal tune-ups for your heating and cooling can really pay off big time. It’ll help extend the life of your system, lower those energy costs by keeping things running at peak efficiency, and allow a tech to catch small issues before they snowball into costly repairs.
Do I need to replace or repair my sewer line?
Frequent backups, slow-draining fixtures, and foul odors are all signs of a potential sewer line issue. Luckily, with today’s trenchless repair methods, fixing a damaged line doesn’t necessarily mean tearing up your whole yard. Definitely have an expert take a look ASAP though.
What should I do if my heating system stops working in the middle of winter?
First things first – don’t panic! Go ahead and check the basics like thermostat settings, circuit breakers and air filters. If swapping that filter or resetting the breaker doesn’t get things fired up again, it’s time to call in the pros. Henco offers 24/7 emergency heating repair so you don’t get left out in the cold.
How often should I schedule AC maintenance?
At an absolute minimum, you’ll want a tech to give your cooling system a full preventative tune-up once a year before summer kicks into high gear. Keeping up with that regular maintenance pays off big time by improving efficiency, extending equipment life, and preventing untimely breakdowns.
Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air?
Could be any number of potential culprits there – from low refrigerant levels and dirty coils restricting airflow to an outright compressor failure. Having a certified tech come out with the right diagnostic tools is key to pinpointing and resolving that warm air issue quickly and effectively.
How can I reduce my energy bills during extreme weather?
Smart thermostat, meet programmable thermostat! Upgrading to one of these cool gadgets allows you to better regulate temperatures and cut down on wasted heating/cooling when you’re not home. Keeping up with routine HVAC maintenance is also huge for maximizing efficiency. And don’t forget the low-tech solutions like sealing air leaks and insulating properly.
What are the benefits of trenchless plumbing repairs?
Where older sewer line repairs would have meant digging an ugly trench clear across your beautiful yard, trenchless methods get the job done with minimal disruption and landscaping damage. Basically just a couple small access holes! Faster completion and lower overall costs are other major benefits.
