Frequently Asked Questions About Heating Services
We’ve put together answers to frequently asked questions about our heating services in South Bend, IN.
How is the correct furnace size for my home determined?
We’ll do this with a Manual J calculation that takes into account your home’s occupancy, the number of windows and their orientation, the climate where you live, and your home’s insulation. With this information, we’ll be able to determine the correct size of furnace for your needs.
If my furnace is brand-new, does it still need maintenance?
Yes, it’s still important to get a yearly tune-up for your new furnace because that’s how it stays well-functioning and set up to last you as long as possible.
Why would I consider a ductless mini split?
You may want to get a ductless mini split if you live in a condo or an old home where it’s not possible to install or modify ductwork. Ductless mini splits can also be used in conjunction with existing central heating systems to add extra heating capacity to specific rooms in your home. They’re great for garages, basements, and new additions to your home that aren’t hooked up to your home’s HVAC system.
How do I know my furnace is working correctly?
Pay attention to how well-heated each room is in your home and if the temperature is generally stable across your home. It’s also a good sign if it’s not making any unusual noises and if you’re not noticing any unexpected spikes in your energy bills.
Should I get my furnace repaired or replaced?
This will depend on the age of your furnace, the severity and price of repair, and the current level of efficiency of your furnace. Speak to our team to explain your circumstances, and we’ll guide you to the right decision for your needs.
