What are the benefits of having a well maintained heater or air conditioner?

The most direct benefit of having a heater and air conditioner in top condition is effective temperature control in a home. Outside of that primary purpose, there are tertiary benefits that are easy to overlook. The humidity of a home is greatly affected by the cooling and heating process that these machines use. The cooling of air with a compressor is a process that also results in moisture condensing. This is especially felt in wet heat that commonly follows summer storms. The heating of a home also causes the air to take in moisture from its surroundings. One of the other major benefits of a functioning ventilation system is the air filters. These devices are critical in keeping the air clean and fresh in a home. The following list includes some of the most critical factors that a heating and air conditioning system affects:

  • Bacteria- Clean filters will capture airborne bacteria that could cause health problems in a home.
  • Humidity- The heating and cooling process in these machines helps to keep the relative humidity of a home at a comfortable level.
  • Mold- If a home develops a mold problem, it can be a major health hazard for all residents. Clean filters are key in capturing spores that are circulating through the home.
  • Pet dander- This is a common issue in homes that have one or more animals living in them. An effective filtration system will prevent this substance from circulating and causing respiratory problems.
  • Dust- This is one of the most critical portions of air quality in a home. Filters capture so much of the dust that circulates that it may eventually clog the filter.
  • Pollen- This is commonly thought of as a seasonal issue, but can cause problems for residents all year. Filters will prevent most exterior pollen from ever entering a home.

When is a good time for a homeowner to search for air conditioning service or heating repairs?

Most experts are in agreement that the main air conditioning and heating units of a home need to be inspected once a year. During this inspection a technician will search for common problems and help to prevent service breaks. Experts also agree that filters in the ventilation system need to be changed or cleaned once every three months. If a homeowner follows this schedule diligently, they can avoid most of the emergency issues that can crop up. Nobody wants to be in the dead of a St. Paul winter without heat or in the middle of a hot summer without air conditioning.

What are some of the most common problems that can spur a homeowner into seeking air conditioner repairs or furnace repairs?

If a homeowner suspects that their air conditioner or heater is having issues, they shouldn't hesitate to call a technician. Responding quickly to problems can save money and is the responsible decision to make. Preventive maintenance is almost always less expensive than responding to complete breaks in the machinery. A homeowner shouldn't be afraid of possible costs or timing of the repairs because in the long term it is always more efficient to respond immediately. The following list illustrates some of the most frequent issues that a homeowner will witness:

  • The air conditioner or heater will not start when prompted. This can be a problem with the thermostat or may be a much bigger issue with the mechanisms in the main unit.
  • Utility costs have risen without a change in usage. This points to a problem with ventilation leaks or clogs.
  • The home has very noticeable cold spots or hot spots. This is also a problem that usually stems from clogged or leaking vents.
  • The air conditioner or heater starts slowly and runs long. This is an indication that the thermostat may be malfunctioning. There may be more serious issues in the main unit itself.
