Don’t Let Your Furnace Boom

Monday, November 8th, 2021

A booming furnace is a bad thing to encounter. Don’t get us wrong, every heating system makes some kind of noise when it turns on and starts to heat your home. As air goes through your ductwork, the air ducts will expand and contract based on the temperature differential, and this can sometimes make noise. Noises aren’t inherently bad when you hear them in your home.

However, many noises are. We like to use the term “loud and uncomfortable noises” because that separates the good noises from the bad noises pretty clearly. If you encounter any loud or uncomfortable noises, like a booming sound, then you probably need heating repair in Covington, LA.

Based on how common this booming noise is when we get calls from homeowners, we’d like to spend today investigating how this noise comes up and what might be going on inside your furnace when it does.

Why Furnace Problems Can Become Dangerous

Monday, October 25th, 2021

We’d like to start off this blog by reassuring homeowners everywhere that furnaces aren’t inherently dangerous. What this means is that a furnace is designed with various different safety systems to ensure that it doesn’t endanger you or your family. Regardless of the type of furnace you have, it’s designed to be safe.

However, like all dangerous things in this world, a furnace can become unsafe if it’s mistreated or neglected in a certain way. The machine that provides your heating in Covington, LA could be a gas furnace, which means it’s burning gas in order to produce heat for your home. This combustion can be dangerous if there’s a problem occurring that isn’t fixed by professionals.

Let’s cover some of the common problems that can crop up with a gas furnace, and highlight the importance of fast repairs. Neglect can quickly allow a problem to fester and compound into additional problems, which will ultimately make your furnace unsafe.

Monday, July 19th, 2021

The term “replacement” is kind of a boogeyman in the HVAC industry. Homeowners want to keep running their air conditioners for as long as possible because they know that replacement costs a lot more money than a quick repair. While in theory this makes sense, in practice it actually doesn’t.

If your air conditioner has reached its limit, is beyond its standard life expectancy, or it’s just not working properly, replacement services are actually going to be better than an air conditioning repair in Covington, LA.

Don’t worry, we’re going to break it down. We’ll talk all about when you should start thinking of replacement rather than repair. Keep this nifty guide handy so you’ve got something to reference as you check the condition of your AC.
