Furnace Maintenance

You rely on your furnace an average of 1,200 hours per year, and unpredictable weather can push your heating and air conditioning equipment to the max. That’s why most manufacturers, and our experts here at Airco Service, recommend at least seasonal furnace maintenance to keep it working safely and efficiently through the coldest months.

Here is a basic maintenance checklist you should perform once per month:

• Change filters
• Clean dust from air returns
• Vacuum dust and debris from around the inside unit
• Remove dirt and debris from around the outside unit

Keeping up with these basic tasks is important to extend the life of your HVAC equipment. However, today’s furnaces have parts that require professional attention. At Airco Service, we offer our customers bi-annual maintenance plans to have one of our friendly technicians clean and service your equipment to get your furnace in peak shape for the season.

For most people in Oklahoma and Arkansas, the only time they think about their furnace is when it stops working during the first freeze.

Here are a few early warning signs that can tell you if your furnace needs to be repaired or replaced:

1. You have higher than normal utility bills.

Even though Oklahoma and Arkansas weather tends to be all over the place, your energy bills shouldn’t be. If you’ve noticed an increase in the amount you’re sending your gas or electric utility since last year, you may need a furnace repair or replacement.

2. You hear noises coming from the furnace.

Properly functioning heating and air conditioning equipment should operate quietly. If your furnace or blower is making moaning, banging or any other unusually loud noises, it’s time to call one of our expert technicians.

3. You experience hot or cold spots in your house.

If you shiver every time you walk into your bedroom or sweat every time you’re in the den, you may have leaky heating and air conditioning ducts. Our technicians can inspect your ductwork to make sure they’re properly sealed and functioning correctly.

4. You notice your pilot light is yellow.

If you have a propane or natural gas furnace, your pilot light—the small, always-burning flame that ignites the burner when your heat kicks on—should burn blue. If you notice a flickering, yellow or orange flame, call a service professional right away.

5. Your air quality is poor.

Have you had worse allergies or experienced the sniffles more than usual this winter? If so, you may be experiencing the effects of poor air quality stemming from problems with your HVAC unit.

6. Your furnace is more than 10 years old.

If your furnace is more than 10 years old or has required frequent repairs, it may be time to consider a new unit. Newer, more energy-efficient furnaces will heat your home or business more quickly and evenly than older units can, and they can save you up to 30% on your energy bills.

Nobody wants to hear that they’re facing a full replacement when it comes to their heating and air conditioning units. The good news is, when the time comes to replace your aging equipment, you have options, and our licensed technicians are here to answer your questions and find the right heating, venting and air conditioning (HVAC) system for your family.

Heat Pump

A heat pump works exactly like your air conditioner, but in the opposite direction. Where an air conditioner takes warmth from the air inside and moves it outside during the summer months, a heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it inside during the winter. Heat pumps are most effective during moderate temperatures, and a supplemental heating source may be needed for months when the mercury stays lower on the thermometer.

Electric

Electric resistance heaters work the same as the space heater you have under the desk at your office. Electricity flows through a series of coiled wires, which shed excess energy in the form of heat. Air is forced over the coils, carrying heat to the rest of your home or business. Electric heaters tend to be expensive to operate, and are most often used as supplemental heat sources for heat pump systems.

Geothermal

Geothermal heat pump systems (ground source heat pump systems) work similarly to the heat pump systems described above, but use the constant temperature of the ground to keep your home or business comfortable while reducing your energy consumption by up to 80%. Technicians install a series of fluid-filled pipes 50-400 feet deep in the ground, which are then connected to a heat pump.

Natural Gas

Because Oklahoma and Arkansas enjoy an abundance of supply, natural gas furnaces are common. You might even be eligible for rebates when you install a natural gas furnace.
