Our HVAC services cover everything your system needs – from routine maintenance that prevents problems to emergency repairs when something goes wrong. We handle furnace repairs, air conditioning service, duct cleaning, and system installations.
In Hawthorne Terrace’s climate, your HVAC system works hard year-round. Our maintenance programs keep it running efficiently, which means lower energy bills and fewer surprise breakdowns. We also upgrade older systems to more efficient models that can handle Connecticut’s temperature swings better.
Whether it’s a quick repair or a complete system replacement, we provide honest assessments and transparent pricing so you can make informed decisions about your home’s comfort.
In Connecticut’s climate, you should schedule HVAC maintenance twice a year – once in spring before cooling season and once in fall before heating season. This timing ensures your system is ready for the extreme temperatures we experience.
During maintenance visits, we clean components, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, and test safety systems. This prevents most breakdowns and keeps your energy bills reasonable. Systems that skip regular maintenance typically fail during peak usage times when you need them most.
Most homeowners save money overall with regular maintenance because it prevents expensive emergency repairs and extends equipment life significantly.
Call for immediate HVAC repair if you notice strange noises like grinding, squealing, or banging sounds coming from your system. These usually indicate mechanical problems that get worse quickly if ignored.
Other urgent signs include no heating or cooling at all, unusual smells like burning or gas odors, and dramatically higher energy bills without increased usage. Ice forming on your AC unit during summer or water pooling around your furnace also require prompt attention.
Don’t wait on these issues – they rarely fix themselves and often cause additional damage when left alone. Early intervention typically means simpler, less expensive repairs.
If your system is over 15 years old and repair costs exceed half the price of replacement, it’s usually time for a new system. Older systems also use more energy and break down more frequently, making replacement more economical long-term.
Consider replacement if you’re facing multiple repairs within a short time period or if your energy bills have increased significantly despite normal usage. Modern systems are much more efficient and reliable than units from even 10 years ago.
We provide honest assessments about whether repair makes financial sense or if replacement is your better option. Sometimes a simple repair buys you several more years, and sometimes it’s just throwing money at a dying system.
High energy bills usually indicate your HVAC system is working harder than it should. Dirty air filters are the most common culprit – they restrict airflow and force your system to run longer to reach desired temperatures.
Other causes include leaky ductwork, which lets conditioned air escape before it reaches your rooms, and aging equipment that’s lost efficiency over time. Poor insulation or air leaks around windows and doors also make your system work overtime.
We can perform an energy assessment to identify exactly where you’re losing money. Often, simple fixes like filter changes, duct sealing, or minor adjustments dramatically reduce energy consumption and monthly bills.
First, check your thermostat settings and replace the battery if it’s battery-powered. Make sure the system is set to heat or cool mode and the temperature setting makes sense for what you’re trying to achieve.
Next, check your circuit breaker panel for tripped breakers and look at your air filter – a completely clogged filter can shut down some systems as a safety measure. Also verify that any emergency shut-off switches near your equipment haven’t been accidentally turned off.
If these basic steps don’t restore operation, call for professional service. Don’t attempt to force the system to run or bypass safety features – this often creates bigger problems and safety hazards.
Most routine maintenance visits take 1-2 hours per system, depending on what we find during inspection. We clean components, check all connections, test operation, and address any minor issues we discover.
Simple repairs like replacing a thermostat, fixing a loose connection, or changing a faulty capacitor usually take under an hour. More complex repairs involving major components might take several hours or require ordering specific parts.
We always provide time estimates upfront and keep you informed if we discover additional issues that might extend the service time. Our goal is to complete work efficiently while ensuring everything is done properly.
