These are all indicators that it may be time for a furnace replacement. Although your trusty furnace may have given you years of reliable heat, by keeping it around and continuing to repair it, you and your furnace might only suffer more. As the heating experts that St. Louis homeowners have trusted since 1947, the team here at SmartHouse wants you to know a few things about furnace replacement. A replacement gas furnace or boiler will be able to provide your home and family with the uninterrupted heat, luxurious comfort, and energy-efficient reliability that they deserve.

Air conditioners are complicated systems with many moving parts and pressurized refrigerant. They also live outside running constantly on the hottest days and sitting dormant all winter. These factors make annual maintenance a ‘must-do.' At SmartHouse we offer a very thorough Precision Tune-Up that includes a careful diagnostic review of your system along with preventive maintenance and performance testing. Count on a precision tune-up from SmartHouse to provide comfort and energy efficiency all summer long.

You probably interact with your current thermostat on a consistent basis. And, most likely, it is rectangular, whitish, with little arrows that let you change the numbers on the screen.

At SmartHouse, we can troubleshoot and install traditional thermostats like yours. But we also think you should know about some more recent advancements in thermostat technology: programmable thermostats and smart (communicating) thermostats.

If you've been on the hunt for the best way to lower your energy bills, the answer may be right underneath your feet - literally. Geothermal energy systems make the most of the consistent temperatures that exist in the ground beneath your home. How can this help reduce your energy usage? Well, that constant temperature of the earth's crust gives your heating and cooling system a head start, by absorbing and dissipating heat whenever necessary. Then it's time to discover how a geothermal system can reduce your energy bills, all while providing your home with the heating and cooling you need for all four seasons.

You depend on your home to protect you from the unpredictable elements of the outdoors - but did you know that tiny cracks and gaps in the construction of your home can also pose a threat to your overall comfort, and more importantly, your health? By air sealing your house, you can live in a home that keeps harmful pollutants and contaminants outside, keeps your indoor temperatures stable, and reduces your indoor drafts. We often recommend combining air sealing with an insulation upgrade, to boost the effectiveness of both home improvements.

Choosing the right equipment to replace your failing air conditioner, furnace, or boiler is key to making your heating and cooling replacement a lasting success.
