When you are making decisions about home insulation materials, it's a challenge to know what the best material is for your Peoria or Bloomington, IL home. Cellulose is a good option for a low-cost and energy efficient insulation compared to spray foam insulation. Insulation contractors like cellulose as it is well-suited for insulating the walls of existing homes and buildings, since it can be installed from the exterior of the home with minimal damage. Loose fill insulation is pumped into attic spaces until it creates a thick, even blanket with a high blown in cellulose insulation R-value.
When spring kicks into gear, homeowners in Peoria start eyeing their thermostats, thinking: when it gets hot enough to turn on the AC, will my air conditioning still hold on for another summer?

A tune-up from AAA Northgate is actually the best way to save money and avoid expensive air conditioning repair for your Peoria IL home, all from the expert technicians at your leading local air conditioning contractor.

If your AC system is 5 to 7 years old, even if it is still working, replacing it with a high-efficiency ENERGY STAR unit could see your investment paid back in just a few cooling seasons. Air conditioners, along with furnaces and heat pumps, have become much more efficient in the last few years. If your system is costing you regularly in repair bills, it's worth your while to look at a high-efficiency replacement. When you start shopping for a replacement air conditioner, you'll see these two sets of letters: EER and SEER.
An emergency service call for your home heating and cooling system can cost $175 or more, on top of the cost of replacing a motor or a circuit board!.Not to mention the inconvenience and discomfort to your household when there's no heating or cooling. Prevent problems before they become costly repairs with our affordable maintenance programs. Keeping your system clean and in good operating condition can save you money year-round. For example, keeping your filters cleaned and the furnace tuned up can reduce the energy used to heat your house by up to 10%, while replacing a clogged filter can cut the energy use of an air conditioner by up to 15%.
Heat pumps function by transferring the heat energy in air from one place to another. By moving (instead of generating) heat, a heat pump is very efficient, producing between 3 to 10 times more energy than it consumes. Even when temperatures feel cold, heat energy is present. In winter, a heat pump extracts heat from the outside air, compresses it to a higher temperature and then delivers it to your home. In summer, it reverses directions, acts like an air conditioner, and removes heat from your home.
Outdated boilers are energy guzzlers. Upgrading to a high-efficiency boiler is an effective way to reduce your energy bills in your Morton or Pekin home. The annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) is the percentage of fuel that produces heat for your comfort versus heat lost up the chimney. Currently, ENERGY STAR gas boilers must have an AFUE of at least 90 percent, while ENERGY STAR oil boilers must have an AFUE of at least 87 percent. An electric boiler with no chimney losses has an AFUE rating of 100 percent.
If your Peoria home has an older system, the next heating season could be your furnace's last. Give yourself time to make an informed decision about what you're going to replace it with before it breaks down. Here are some key questions to ask about your existing furnace. A gas furnace more than 15 years old is past the average lifespan. The costs to replace major components when they fail (like heat exchangers) are going to outstrip the cost of a new unit. Here's a good rule of thumb: if the cost of service and parts is more than 40 percent of the cost to replace the unit, it's time to replace it!
A ground source heat pump, or geothermal heat pump, can turn your backyard into an energy source for efficient heating and cooling comfort for your Peoria or Pekin-area home or business. By circulating water through a loop system buried in your backyard, the geothermal heat pump transfers heat from the ground to air or water. While outdoor air temperatures fluctuate throughout the year, 4 to 6 feet below the surface, ground temperatures remain constant all year round. During the heating cycle, low-grade heat is extracted from the ground in a fluid, compressed to a higher temperature, and delivered to your home through standard ductwork or radiators.
There's never a convenient time for your heating system to break down or stop working properly, but our experience shows that heating issues tend to arise when your system is working its hardest. That means that your heating is more likely to break during the coldest periods of the year than during a mild fall evening. For the best heating and air near you, AAA Northgate offers a variety of residential heating maintenance and local furnace services to help keep your heating system operating in peak condition and delivering reliable and dependable heat all winter long.
While it's not a proven fact that your home comfort system will break down when you most need it, the likelihood that it will fail when it is operating at its highest capacity means you're more likely to need repairs on a cold and stormy January night or during the peak of an Illinois heatwave, rather than on a mild April night. Look after that investment! HVAC system maintenance is a proven expense-saver. With annual heating and cooling maintenance, equipment lasts longer, works more efficiently and potentially expensive repair problems are nipped in the bud.
Sweltering summer days and nights require your air conditioning system to work at peak capacity. If your cooling system stops working, it can quickly become an urgent problem.

The cracks and gaps in the walls, ceilings and floors of your house are a primary cause of drafts that cost you both comfort and money. Air sealing stops these drafts in their tracks. Air sealing tightens the building envelope, or shell, so less of the heated or cooled air in your home escapes. The result? Your house is more comfortable and your mechanical systems operate more efficiently. Moisture is your home's worst enemy. It can cause damage to finish, structural decay and mold problems. Air sealing acts as a moisture barrier, keeping moisture and mold out of your house.
Whether your unit is a furnace, a boiler or a heat pump, we have all the tools and knowledge needed to get the job done correctly the first time. Our technicians are always ready to diagnose your Illinois home's comfort problems and provide an effective solution for your heater repair needs. If you are in need of furnace repair, your heating system is likely experiencing a mechanical problem. No matter if there's an issue power getting to the system, failed parts or problems with the blower, our highly trained technicians can repair it.
