Professional HVAC Services in Sidney
A proactive approach to your heating and cooling systems can save you money long term. That’s why we recommend spring cooling tune-ups and fall heating tune-ups. Tune-ups help lower your operating costs, avoid repairs, and extend the life of your equipment. In addition, most HVAC warranties require seasonal maintenance as a condition of coverage.
Even with routine maintenance, repair issues can crop up. Look and listen for potential performance issues. Malfunctioning HVAC equipment can use more electricity or fuel. Irregular cycling is a common early sign of a problem. High or low humidity can suggest issues. Don’t ignore uneven heating and other airflow issues. Other notable signs include unusual noises and unpleasant smells, including mustiness.
Heating a home in our region, even with a natural gas system, can be expensive. One way to save is to upgrade to either a high-efficiency furnace or boiler. Doing so will cost more initially but can reduce fuel consumption by 10% or more. An alternative is to switch to a dual-fuel heat pump, which pairs a mid-efficiency air-source heat pump and a mid-efficiency fuel-burning furnace. The heat pump will provide your air conditioning and the bulk of your heating. When it’s too cold for the heat pump to be effective, your furnace will provide the heating instead.

Water hardness is a common problem in our service areas. Many homeowners spend unnecessarily by not scheduling water heater service until there’s a problem. A better approach is to schedule annual maintenance. Our plumber will flush the system to remove all scale deposits. We’ll also check the anode rod and replace it if needed. If you have a tankless system, we’ll descale it and replace any filters.
Our hard water can also reduce appliance lifespan and make your pipes more prone to clogs. That’s because scale and soap scum can build up in drains and block them. You should schedule professional drain cleaning at the earliest indications of a clog, such as slow drainage. It’s also a good idea to schedule hydro jetting every few years. It will remove scale and grease from the sewer pipe and pipe walls.
Consider investing in a garbage disposal system as well. Garbage disposals make kitchen cleanup quicker and easier while slowing the rate of trash accumulation. They also break food particles down into very small bits. That makes you less prone to clogs in your kitchen sink.
