Home HVAC System Troubleshooting: Furnace Blower Wouldn’t Shut Off

When the blower assembly is in optimal condition, the entire furnace works smoothly as a result. However, should it fail to work the way it was intended, there might already be problems with its inner workings.

Choosing Professional Air Conditioning Installations

When referring to Edmonton, very few will associate air conditioning with a necessary utility within the home. However, we need to recall that summer temperatures can reach as high as 34ºC (1). Such conditions can be very uncomfortable for the average individual while children and the elderly are placed at a particular risk. Why should professional installation companies be chosen?

Worry-Free Systems

Professional companies will only work with the most trusted brand names. As opposed to purchasing a generic unit that may be prone to faults, these modern systems are guaranteed to provide an Edmonton home with years of enjoyment with only a minimal amount of maintenance. Air conditioning units (whether standalone appliances or "central air" variants) are very real investments. It therefore only makes sense to select a firm which is able to service the latest models.

Regular Maintenance Options

Although there can indeed be times when an air conditioner suddenly fails, this is normally a rare occurrence. The vast majority of problems take place from a lack of regular maintenance (2). Trustworthy companies are able to offer these services from time to time. Even if only carried out once a year, this is an excellent way to make certain that the system is in top shape.

Air conditioning should never be considered a luxury. On the contrary, it is a necessary fixture within countless Edmonton homes. Now that this technology is quite affordable, working with a professional installation company is the best way to beat the heat.

Switch to a Tankless Water Heater in Edmonton and Enjoy These Benefits

water heater edmonton, edmonton hot water tanks "As the summer slowly draws to a close, the cooling component of your HVAC systems will gradually make way for the heating sources, notably the home furnace and the water boilers. If you are still reeling from the energy bills you spent for the summer season, keep in mind that winter is but three months ahead, and another round of heavy spending might be imminent. One of the best ways to avoid this is by switching out your old water heating system for a tankless water heater in Edmonton. This device heats water instantly as it flows though it and doesn’t store any water internally, apart from what is in the heat exchanger coil. This coil is usually made from copper due to its high thermal conductivity."

Edmonton Emergency Drain Cleaning Experts Can Avert Domestic Disasters

Plumbing problems can be very upsetting, especially when they occur at the least anticipated times, which they tend to do. Backflow not only causes a horrid mess, but it’s also a major source of potential health hazards because of all the bacteria and other microorganisms that make their homes in putrid water. This is why drainage issues need to be taken seriously at the beginning of such problems by having your local Edmonton contractor do some drain cleaning. You and your family should be protected against waste substances that are not supposed to be in your kitchen sink or bathroom. Not just because these are harmful to people’s health, but also because the stench is often unbearable.

Heating Repair: Common Problems Encountered by Forced-Air Furnaces

The forced-air furnace is the most preferred home heating system in Canada. Forced air furnaces distribute optimum indoor heat evenly throughout every room in a home through a structure of vents and air ducts. These furnaces are generally powered by natural gas, propane, oil, or electricity. Some models consume a combination of two types of fuel: wood-electric or oil-electricity. This set-up allows the forced-air furnace to meet the heating demands of homeowners during extreme weather conditions. Unfortunately, forced-air furnaces lose their efficiency as they near the end of their service life. Your furnace will eventually begin to break down, prompting the need to call a trusted heating service to come and repair the furnace. Fortunately, forced-air furnaces will exhibit warning signs before they fail.

How to Tell If Your Central Air Conditioning Unit is Low on Freon

Your central air conditioner and refrigerator are pretty much cousins. Both appliances work the same way: they suck air in and cool it down by moving the heat from the sucked air to the refrigerant. This substance, colloquially known as “Freon”, doesn’t technically run out per se, but there are signs that indicate the need for a refill or, as air conditioning technicians in Edmonton call it, a “recharge”. Central air conditioning systems use refrigerant that can technically last a lifetime, but certain circumstances can cause issues with the coolant supply. Accidental damage, natural wear and tear, and contaminants are some of the most common reasons. One of the first things you should check for signs is the thermostat—sometimes, units simply need to be reset electronically and may not actually need a recharge at all1.
