Barstow’s HVAC Company for Repairs

Even with a well-maintained unit, you may still need one or two minor repairs done during the year. Leave these to a professional, and you’ll save yourself time and money. The technicians on our team will come in a fully stocked truck, which means they might complete the repair then and there if you approve their estimate. Our estimates come with no obligation, so you can take your time to make an informed decision.

Malfunctioning heaters and ACs will usually give you warning signs like loud noises or bad odors. Also, take note of the length of each cycle. If it’s considerably shorter or longer than 10 to 15 minutes, and if you feel the air is lukewarm, then have technicians over for an inspection; the issue could be some obstacle to airflow or a failing blower motor.

Heating/Cooling Installation: The Basics

Usually, ducted heat pumps and gas furnaces break down after about 15 years. Oil and electric furnaces last 25 years, and mini-splits can last for around 30 years. You’ll want to take these average lifespans into account when considering system replacement. Chances are that you’ll get something that’s even more energy-efficient than your current unit. You could also switch from a single-speed to a variable-speed unit and add zoning controls to set a different temperature in each room.

With single-speed units, it’s important to consider blowing capacity. One of our service techs will make sure you get something that suits your home based on size, insulation level, and rate of heat loss, all while staying within your budget. A team could also help you if you’re building a new home and considering ductless mini-splits for select rooms.

Maintaining Your Heater and AC

Even the newest system needs maintenance because small issues will arise and, if left alone, cause premature wear and tear. In the long run, lack of maintenance will shorten the system’s lifespan, and along the way, you’ll have to deal with costly repairs and high utility bills.

A maintenance visit will take one to two hours of your time, and the short and long-term benefits will make the slight inconvenience worth it. While it can’t prevent all repairs, you’ll have peace of mind that your system won’t break down when you need it most. And the manufacturer will likely honor its warranty when repairs do come up.

Tune-ups can cover these and other tasks:

Wiring assessments and replacement

Cleaning for components like coils and burners

Adjustments of out-of-balance fans, belts, and panels

Tests for prompt start-up and smooth airflow
