Everything to Know About Your Heater’s Blower Fan

Monday, December 26th, 2022

Did you know that every heating system that heats the air of a home relies on fans? This type of heating system is called a forced-air heating unit, and those fans are specifically called blowers. They’re a vital part of the heating process.

Heating systems don’t operate like fireplaces or stoves. Those kinds of systems just send the heat outward in an inefficient way, but they’re mostly used for slight comfort and ambiance. A fireplace is just not going to be able to heat all of the rooms of your house while a furnace will, as it works with a complex fan system.

The blowers are so vital to your home’s heating, that a problem with them could cause a serious hold-up in your home’s comfort and efficiency. And no, we don’t recommend customers try to fix these components themselves. Let’s talk about why a broken blower fan might need heating repair in Columbia Falls, MT.

Is Your Furnace Making This Sound?

Monday, November 14th, 2022

There are many noises a machine like a furnace can make. If it’s gently whirring in the distance while it provides your home with heat, or even if it clicks once to turn on, these are sounds that you shouldn’t be worried about. After all, a furnace needs to give you a sign that its working, and those can be good noises, as long as they’re not too loud.

However, there’s one noise we want to talk about today, and that’s booming. A booming furnace requires heater repair in Kalispell, MT, even if it still works efficiently. That booming sound is a particular kind of problem that could lead to safety issues down the line, or even a full breakdown if it’s neglected for long enough.

Let’s talk about a booming furnace. We’ll cover why this happens, the science behind it, and what you can do to stop it.

Fall Is Perfect for Heater Maintenance

Monday, September 19th, 2022

September is here (and almost gone), which means we’re full steam ahead towards the rest of the fall season! It’s time to bust out the Halloween costume and send the kids back to school because the leaves are going to be changing colors and our schedules are likely to change.

This is good news for anyone who is trying to plan ahead. Unlike summer or winter, fall is a season where temperatures can be more mild and you’re not in dire need of assistance when it comes to your heating. Sure, if you wait long enough eventually it will get cold enough to warrant a heating emergency, but until then your heater isn’t going to be as needed. That’s why we recommend investing in heater maintenance in Kalispell, MT.

Maintenance is going to help your system last longer and perform better during this cold season. And down below, we’ve listed some reasons why fall is the best time to get it!
