Expert HVAC Services in Strafford
Your furnace and air conditioner will give you several signs that they need repairs. Hearing strange sounds coming from your system definitely warrants further investigation. Listen for things like rattling, which can suggest loose or broken parts. Whistling can indicate an air leak in the ductwork. If you hear banging from your gas furnace, it’s typically because of an issue with the ignition process. Regardless of what you’re hearing, FTS Heating & Cooling can assist.
There are some problems that just can’t wait. For example, if your air conditioner starts leaking refrigerant, you’ll want this situation handled quickly. Coolant is a hazardous substance, and a leak will also affect how your AC runs. It also takes special training to handle refrigerant. Our technicians will know how to tackle this issue. We offer same-day service, so reach out if you experience a problem that needs prompt attention.
Other issues we can repair include the following:
- Short cycling
- Foul odors
- Uneven temperatures
- Excessive humidity indoors
- Poor airflow
Like all appliances, heating and air equipment does not last forever. Air conditioners can run for about 15 years before needing replacement. With furnaces, the usual life span is 15-20 years. If your system is outdated and no longer functioning as it once did, contact FTS Heating & Cooling to arrange a replacement.
It’s also time for an upgrade if you frequently need to make repair appointments. If the repairs aren’t lasting, then your system is most likely beyond help. Use this handy tip as a guide: If your total repair costs exceed more than half the price of an upgrade, then consider replacement.
A crucial way to keep your HVAC in top shape is to get an annual tune-up. We recommend scheduling an AC tune-up in the spring and a heating tune-up in the fall. The appointment starts with a comprehensive inspection. Our technicians look for any existing problems. We can often fix them during the maintenance appointment. If the problem is more extensive, this gives you time to schedule a repair before the weather turns. Addressing minor issues earlier, before they grow and affect other components, helps save you money.
Yearly maintenance will also help extend the life span of your cooling and heating units. The service will also satisfy the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty. Just make sure to schedule a tune-up each year for both your AC and furnace with FTS Heating & Cooling.
To save money, enroll in our maintenance plan. In addition to regular tune-ups, you’ll receive an annual filter voucher and 24/7 smart system monitoring.
