Water heaters rarely send a signal before they fail, and when they do it can cause expensive water damage. The best strategy to avoid an emergency is to learn about water heaters in advance. First step? Talk to the professionals at Standard Oil. Most tank-type water heaters are warranteed for 5 to 7 years. If your water heater is between 5 and 10 years old, it's time to start shopping - and we can help. Standard Oil installs water-heating equipment by top names such as Bosch and Vaughn. Do you heat your home with a boiler?
You vacuum your floors often because you can't live with the buildup of dirt, dust or pet hair. That same debris also collects inside your ductwork, and over time it can become a breeding ground for mold, bacteria, dust mites and other microbes that get blown into your home every time you turn on your furnace, heat pump or air conditioner. This is one reason the U.S. Environmental Agency says indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Keeping your ducts clean can help prevent health problems caused by breathing in indoor pollutants.
Sometimes there are small steps you can take to restore your air conditioning without the need for a service call. This interactive troubleshooting tool (below) can help you save time and money by helping you "zero in" on the problem. If after taking these steps you still have a problem, please contact us immediately and we will dispatch one of our trained HVAC technicians to your home.
Federal and state energy tax credits and manufacturer rebates have saved homeowners hundreds - even thousands - of dollars in recent years. When you are ready to upgrade to a new high-efficiency system, contact us to learn about the latest programs, including special low-interest financing deals that may be available to lower the cost of upgrading to a new air conditioning system.
Forced hot air systems continue to grow in popularity because the ductwork used for heating can also be used to cool your home with a central air conditioning system. These systems share some other common components as well, including the air handler that circulates air throughout your home. Because of this, these systems are under constant use and require maintenance or replacement. One other common issue with furnaces is the air movement can cause more dust particles to become airborne. Ask one of our service experts about duct cleaning and air system purification equipment.
