If your furnace is producing a strange smell, you should always treat it with caution. While the cause for the odor may be benign, it could just as easily be harmful to inhale. When in doubt, always open windows to ensure ventilation, and evacuate your Mequon home.
Here in Wisconsin, we’ve reached the season that makes you say, “Gosh, it’s so dark out. Is it really only six in the evening?” Before the days get too short, remember to check off heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) maintenance from your autumn to-do list.
Fortunately, ductless mini splits can provide all the essentials for home comfort—warm air, cool air, ventilation, and humidity control. Plus, they’re much more efficient than a standard air conditioner and furnace combination.
Did you accidentally stumble upon your air conditioning (AC) unit’s “winter weather” setting? Nope. You’re probably experiencing a freeze up.
Your air ducts circulate a supply of fresh and properly treated air. But since ductwork mostly hides behind walls, ceilings, and floors, many Wisconsin homeowners don’t take the time to monitor its condition.
In fact, you can save between 5 and 15 percent of the energy used for your air conditioning by changing your filter in combination with other energy-saving actions.
The reality is airborne contaminants, such as dust, dirt, and pet dander, can negatively impact the indoor air quality (IAQ) of your Wisconsin home. At Interstate Heating Co, Inc., we want you to breathe in fresh air, which is why we offer maintenance to keep your HVAC in top shape.
Be sure you take the time to perform basic maintenance regularly as well as invest in a professional AC tune-up at least once a year. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), good maintenance can save money and reduce your energy usage.
Zone controls are a series of dampers retrofitted in your ductwork, coupled with thermostats. They block or permit air from entering customized zones throughout your home. Zoning allows you to control different temperatures in different parts of your home.
It’s about to heat up here in Sussex. Make sure your air conditioner (AC) is primed for the Wisconsin summer heat rays by scheduling a seasonal maintenance visit.
