If your home has been damaged by
floodwaters or other disasters, you should schedule an inspection with an HVAC
specialist. This is true even if you don't see any obvious problems. Water may
have washed debris into the system, though the external ports or the vents in
your home, and that will need to be cleaned out. Water left behind after a fire
or flood can also lead to mildew growth in places that you don't think to dry
out, such as ducts. Water might also have caused damage to any of the
electrical parts of your water heater or HVAC system. You don't want to run a
system that may have electrical problems or other undiagnosed water damage.
If you've never had your HVAC service Wilmington DE, you should
call a professional. If you want your system to stay in top shape, you need to
have it maintained every year. Staying on top of your maintenance will reduce
the amount of repairs you'll need and increase the life of the system. You'll
also save money on your regular heating and cooling costs by keeping the system
in good shape and at peak efficiency.
If your system's performance has decreased,
even a small amount, you should have it looked at by a professional. We tend to
see this kind of performance reduction as the normal side effect of an aging
system, but that shouldn't necessarily be true. While it's expected that your
system will work slightly less well after a year than it did right after it was
installed, the drop off in efficiency can and should stop there in a system
that is well looked after. Click here to learn more about William G Day heating and cooling. Often,
a decrease in efficiency is due to a small problem, like low coolant levels. It
can, however, also be the sign of a bigger problem that needs to be corrected
right away.
You should never try to keep running a
system with obvious problems or that is working at reduced efficiency. Doing so
wastes money on energy costs and can promote greater damage. Even if the cause
of the efficiency reduction is something minor like dust, continuing to run the
system will make it work harder, which can cause strain and lead to earlier
failure. It's better to have the system inspected and repaired so you can avoid
these problems. Please check out http://www.williamgdayco.com/
