When Is It Time to Call for Heating Services in Georgetown, TX?
Monday, January 26th, 2015Everyone knows that their heating systems aren’t invincible. No matter how sturdy your heater is, eventually it’s going to require some maintenance.
The question then becomes: when should you call for it? A lot of people like to wait until a problem occurs before calling for any sort of heating services. While this may save you some slight inconvenience, it will often cost you quite a bit in the long run. Let’s examine some of the best times to call for heating services, and why you shouldn’t wait until something breaks.
Annual Heating Maintenance
The old saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is just as relevant in heating maintenance as it is anywhere else. Preventive maintenance is extremely beneficial to your heating system in many ways. It can identify and fix any parts that may be threatening to cause problems, and ensure that your heating system in general is in the best possible condition it can be. This is especially important during the fall season, right before winter sets in and the demand on your heating system increases exponentially. It is recommended that you have your heating system checked at least once every year, in order to keep it in ideal operating conditions. Even if nothing seems to be wrong with your system, schedule the appointment anyway. You’ll reap a much larger benefit in the long run.
Any Time You Notice an Issue
Heating services can be a pain sometimes. You have to go out of your way to schedule the whole thing, and often make yourself available in case the HVAC technician needs to talk to you about anything. However, that’s no reason to ignore the signs that your heater is having trouble. Though not all issues with your heater present warning signs, there is no excuse to ignore any unusual noise or other behaviors that your system might present. Trust us, the sooner you react to any possible issues, the easier it will be to fix them.

What Are the Benefits of a Geothermal System?
Friday, October 31st, 2014Choosing a new air conditioning or heating system can be a difficult process considering all of the options available in today’s world. But if you need a new heating and cooling system, it’s tough to beat the efficiency of a geothermal system. Geothermal heat pumps depend on the stable temperature beneath the earth’s surface to circulate heat. Learn more about these systems in this guide.
Roznovak is your professional source for heating and air conditioning installation or any residential AC service here in Los Angeles.
How It Works
A heat pump is a type of system that moves heat from one area to another. In an air-source heat pump, refrigerant pumps through an indoor and outdoor component to move heat from the inside to the outdoors in the summer and from the outside to the inside in the winter. A geothermal system works a bit differently. Water or a water-refrigerant blend pumps through a set of coils buried underneath the ground. In the heating season, heat is absorbed from the earth and moved into your home. In the summer, heat is absorbed from the air in your home and safely deposited outdoors.
Some Benefits of Geothermal Air Conditioning and Heating
- Environmentally Friendly: Many people praise geothermal heating and cooling for its low environmental impact. Geothermal heat pumps do not release pollutants into the air and use far less power than standard AC and heating systems.
- Energy Efficient: Geothermal systems are incredibly efficient, saving a lot of money from month to month. In fact, as time goes on, the energy savings combined with the possibility of government incentives can offset the initial cost of installation.
- Fewer Repair Needs: Generally, geothermal systems require fewer repairs than some other types of heating and cooling systems because they contain few moving parts and because the outdoor components are buried underground, and not exposed to the outside elements.
Geothermal systems are also relatively quiet, have long lifespans, and you may receive local or federal incentives for installing the system. Geothermal systems are great for anyone looking to save money from month to month and retain quality heating and cooling.
