A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one place to another, from inside your home to outside or from outside to inside. In the winter a heat pump works like a heater, extracting heat energy from outside and transferring it inside. In the summer the process reverses and it will remove heat from your home and transfer it outside similar to an air conditioner.
In the winter, being snug as a bug in a rug in your home can be cozy, but it can also play havoc with your indoor air quality (IAQ) here in Ohio, creating some significant health problems. At Kellermeier Plumbing & Heating, we recommend taking precautions to avoid the common issues associated with winter indoor air quality.
There are a few things to check in your home in the case that your furnace is blowing cold air, such as your thermostat settings, air filter, and your home’s ductwork. If you can’t figure out the issue, give us a call at 419-823-1394 and we will inspect your furnace.
During the colder months of an Ohio winter, frozen pipes can be a real concern. It is not only about the pipes freezing and you not having water. The bigger issue is when the pipes burst, causing all levels of havoc and damage to your home.
Most of us rely on our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems on a nearly daily basis in Bowling Green. We just take it for granted it will always be working when we need it.
It’s understandable that maintenance tasks often fall by the wayside. Many Haskins homeowners follow the mantra of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Everyone is busy and many seemingly more important priorities tend to creep up every month to consume time and money.
It is an “Oh no!” moment when you approach your home’s thermostat and see its screen is blank. Does it mean your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning is broken?
With all the options available for setting your programmable thermostat, it is easy to get confused. Of course, this defeats the purpose of a programmable thermostat––it is designed for you to “set it and forget it,” making your life easier. Naturally, anything can be confusing at times, so feel free to contact our qualified Kellermeier Plumbing & Heating team members with any questions you may have about your programmable thermostat.
Are you changing your home’s AC filter regularly? Not replacing your filter every three months can overwork and damage your unit.
