Heating and cooling your home can be one of the biggest users of energy. Efficiency in this area can bring great savings. Heating and cooling depend on many contributing factors.

Reasons to get your system checked before the winter starts.
Reason #1 — No Warm Air
Cold or cool air is one of the most obvious signs of a faulty heater. If you’ve turned on your home’s heater but it feels more as if the air conditioner is on, then something may need to be checked. In these instances, it’s prudent for you to get professional assistance. Not dealing with a faulty heater can result in increased energy bills and less comfort in your home. You don’t have to face the winter with a broken heater, get the heating repair you deserve!
Reason #2 — An Increase in Energy Costs
Even if you’re feeling warm air when you turn on your heater, it may still be wreaking havoc in your home. If you’ve noticed an increase in your energy bill, the culprit may be your heater. Drafts and leaks may cause your heater to work less effectively than it’s meant to. This will basically cause the warm air to leak through the vents before it reaches the rooms you want to keep warm. A professional team can come and take a look at the heater and repair any issues it may be causing. You and your family can feel comfortable while keeping the heating bill low!
Reason #3 — The Smell of Burning
Most of Florida, including Brevard County, residents only use their home’s heaters for a few months out of the year, most may not know about the obvious telltale sign of heater malfunction. The heater’s been off for quite some time, turning it on may result in an odd smell. This is just the dust that’s gathered throughout the year burning away. But if the same burning smell remains for some time, then it’s best you get the heating repair as soon as possible, this could be a hazard or could result of a fire.
One last thing to keep in mind is that being uncomfortable in your own home can also wear on your mental health as well. Ensuring that you have a comfortable home will keep you happy and healthy throughout the year.
