Turn it Off…Keep it on.

Around this time, many Colorado Springs homeowners ask themselves, “Do I need to turn off my furnace in the Spring?”  We’re not talking about putting the thermostat in the “off” setting.  We’re talking about turning off the pilot light, completely shutting the system down, and not worrying about it again until it gets cold out.

Here are some pros and cons –

1.  It saves money

2.  It saves energy

3.  You won’t accidentally be heating your home this summer

On the other hand –

1.  Just remember to turn it back on this fall

2.  Maybe your furnace is hard to reach

3.  Will there be another cold snap this spring?

I Didn’t Ask for a Cold Shower.

So, you are increasingly having trouble getting hot water while taking a shower.  Now, usually you’d blame this on the hot water heater.  You have become increasingly aware that you’re getting plenty of hot water everywhere else around your Colorado Springs area castle.  It COULD BE that the anti-scald device is too high, or there’s a bad shower mixer valve.

If it happens to be an incorrectly set scald device, then you could take the handle or head off.  Turn the device to the right and check the temperature.  If your shower mixing valve is the root of the problem, then a disassembly of the entire unit may be necessary and you may want to take off your DIY hat and call a professional.

The professional plumber to call in the Colorado Springs area is Altitude Heating and Air for your plumbing, air conditioning, and home heating needs.  Altitude Heating and Air is almost always the right choice before you roll up your sleeves and perhaps make things worse.  In Colorado Springs rely on Altitude Heating and Air at (719) 209-4955.

How Did you Finish the End of the Summer of 2019?

It’s hard to imagine that another summer will soon be upon us here in Colorado Springs.  As it pertains to your HVAC system, the decision-making process of transitioning seasons becomes important.  Unless you’re a trained HVAC technician, it can be tough to tell whether a malfunctioning A/C needs new batteries in the thermostat or a more extensive repair.

Here are some signs to look for now –

1.  Your air conditioner is more than 10 years old.

2.  Last summer it started to become cranky.

3.  Energy bills are way up.

4.  R-22 Freon…no longer available in the U.S.

Just because April is dawning and not July in the Rockies don’t get complacent.  If you want to enjoy the hot summer days to come you need to act now.  Colorado Springs area HVAC expert Altitude Heating and Air will get you ready for this summer and many more in the future.  Call Altitude Heating and Air this time of year for even faster service at (719) 209-4955.

We’ve Got a Ways to go Boys and Girls.

If your aging furnace didn’t keep your Colorado Springs home comfortably warm during the winter, it’s a good time to seriously consider replacing it.  Why replace a furnace now rather than waiting until the fall of 2020?  Because upgrading your heating system in the spring offers some big benefits.

HVAC contractors are slower this time of year.  Now is the time to do some comparison shopping before deciding on that new heating system.  You can plan your home’s budget much easier by “pulling the trigger” this time of year.  It is logical to assume that your furnace is not going to heal itself this summer!

For these and other reasons why you should replace your furnace in the spring, please contact us at Altitude Heating and Air.  We will give you the whys and the wherefores on the subject and you will hear it from the very best in the HVAC business in Colorado Springs.  We are Altitude Heating and Air.  Please call us at (719) 209-4955.
