Particularly in very warm or cool climates, the heating and cooling systems in our homes can be put under great stress. During long summers, we often run our air conditioners nearly twenty four hours a day under harsh conditions. Heavy usage places these systems under stress which can cause malfunction and failure. If you are a home owner, chances are that at one time or another you will need heating and cooling repair. As these systems have grown in complexity and usage over the past few decades, professionals speciliazing in the repair of heating and cooling systems have seen a surge in business.

Symptoms that your heating and cooling systems are in need of repair are:

1. air not getting cold, even with the thermostat turned down and the fan running
2. air not getting warm, even with the thermostat turned up and the fan running
3. abnormal sounds originating from your heating or cooling unit
4. intermittent shutting down of your outside air conditioning unit’s main fan
5. excessive moisture appearing on ventilation pipes, or inside ventilation pipes
6. excessive consumption of freon by your air conditioner

Most heating and cooling repair companies will provide a FREE estimate to service or repair your system. Doing a search on google will provide you with local results for heating and cooling companies. We suggest you get quotes from at least 3 companies to ensure you get the best deal possible. In many cases, your system will require only minor maintenance. In these cases your cost will consist mainly of the parts needed as replacements, with a bit of labor cost built in. Total replacement of your heating or cooling system can be quite costly. Be aware that the government offers tax subsidies for the purchasing of energy efficient systems that have less impact on the environment.
