It just takes one hot day without air conditioning or one chilly day without the heater to realize what most homeowners take for granted. When the power goes out or the system fails, you realize how thin the veil is between you and how people lived 100 years ago. It's an unpleasant but possibly necessary reminder of how fortunate we are in the present era. Of course, it's difficult not to take something you wake up to daily for granted. But it doesn't mean you can't do a few things to ensure that you keep it. Here is the heating and air Chapel Hill information you require.
Purpose
It's simple to say, “Well, the A/C cools the house, and the heater heats it,” and it's not much more complex. The A/C component of your heating and air system does not function as well as you may assume. Instead, it removes heat from the air before recirculating it around your home. The temperature of the air is reduced via a cold evaporator coil. Of course, the work is performed by a complex system, but that's it. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the heater is powered by electricity or gas and uses a furnace to warm the air.
Problems
It would be ideal if your heating and cooling system could operate without interruption indefinitely. Still, there are just too many moving components and intricate equipment for that to be the case. Something will go awry at some point. For example, if you have a refrigerant leak, the evaporator coil cannot keep the cold that changes your air. The system's “conditioning” component is no longer operational. If your filters become too clogged, it may be hard for air to enter the system in the first place. A hundred more minor components might fail or wear out, causing the system to malfunction or operate inefficiently.
Maintenance
Most homeowners know that they should change their filters every month or two, but most are unaware of what other maintenance they should be performing. The answer is “minimal.” However, this does not imply that the system is self-sustaining. Wise homeowners will hire a heating and air service provider to come out yearly and do a comprehensive maintenance check on their system. Not only will this restore the efficiency lost during the previous year, but it will also alert you to any significant problems that may be forming. You may have such issues resolved now before they leave you stuck without contemporary conveniences on a day when you need them.
