FAQs
How often should I schedule maintenance for my HVAC system?
Most professionals recommend scheduling a thorough HVAC tune-up at least once a year. In Fountain City’s climate—where both heating and cooling are frequently needed—routine spring and fall checkups are ideal. These visits help ensure that your system runs efficiently and also catch minor issues before they turn into major (and more costly) problems.
What can I do if my air conditioner is blowing warm air?
First, check your thermostat to make sure it’s set to “cool” and verify that the temperature setting is lower than the current room temperature. Next, check the air filter; a dirty filter can restrict airflow and cause the system to blow warm air. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, call a professional to diagnose potential refrigerant leaks, failing components, or electrical issues in your AC unit.
How can I tell if my home’s electrical system needs an upgrade?
Common signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, and outlets that feel warm to the touch. Homes more than 30 years old often have outdated wiring that isn’t equipped to handle modern electrical loads. Upgrading can improve efficiency, reduce fire risks, and ensure your home is up to current safety codes.
When should I replace my old water heater?
A typical water heater lasts between 8 and 12 years, so if yours is within this age range and you notice rust or leaks, it might be time for a replacement. Signs of failing units include inconsistent water temperatures, unusual noises, and higher energy bills. Upgrading to a more efficient model can save you money in the long run.
What are the warning signs that my plumbing system needs professional attention?
Slow drains, odd gurgling sounds, frequent clogs, and unpleasant odors are all indications of potential plumbing issues. Additionally, low water pressure, dripping faucets, or any signs of unexplained water damage (like new wet spots on walls and ceilings) suggest you should seek expert help to prevent bigger, costlier repairs.
How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?
Watch for curled, cracked, or missing shingles, as well as dark spots and moss growth. Additionally, if you notice sagging along your roof line or see leaks and sunlight coming through the attic, it may be time for an inspection. Addressing minor issues quickly can prolong your roof’s life, while more advanced problems may require a complete replacement for lasting protection.
