Sizing the equipment load requires the consideration of several factors. Ceiling height, construction, window size, placement, and dozens of other variables need to be considered to properly size a heating and/or cooling system. A professionally conducted load calculation is the foundation of an effective system.

Heating and cooling systems work incredibly hard to perform their functions for your household. The constant stopping, starting and continual operation can wear down a machine quickly and unexpectedly if the proper care and maintenance is delayed. However, by performing preventive maintenance, or servicing your system regularly, you can maximize the life-cycle of your heating or cooling unit and guard against many unexpected failures. Preventive maintenance inspections performed on a regular basis can uncover leaks, rust, rot, soot, frayed wires and corroded electrical contacts.

If your hot water tank is 10 years old or older it is not very efficient and you should consider replacing it. When your tank is gurgling or popping, sediment has built up and it is only a matter of time before it leaks. When the temperature is not consistent, the components may be worn out and it is a good time to change it. Consider replacing your hot water tank with a 98% efficient on demand heater.
