With winter fast approaching, it’s time to make sure your homes heating system is ready to do it’s job when you need it most. There are things that you as a homeowner can do yourself like check and change the filter on your furnace. But there are other things that you would need a licensed professional to do to be confident that you are most likely to not have problems now that the outdoor temperatures are beginning to drop. Things like you electrical components, motors, compressors, venting on gas appliances, etc… If your system is relatively new, you may not feel the need to have a routine maintenance done, but as your system gets older, this could be the difference between a relatively minor, inexpensive repair to, if left unnoticed, an entirely new system changeout that will be very costly.

Summer Is Coming!!!!
It’s springtime in Maryland again and for a few short weeks in between the cold, windy March days and the hot, humid days of May and June, there are some perfect sunny, days where you can open up your windows and be comfortable without having to run the heat or AC in your house or car. Although it’s nice to breathe the fresh air and be able to save on your energy bill, the reality is the summer is not far away and with it, the sweltering, humid weather that comes with it. Many homeowners with aging HVAC systems forget that the first time the weather gets too warm, there is no guarantee that when they turn on that system for the first time, that it’s actually going to work. As HVAC professionals, we strongly recommend testing out the air conditioning system the first day it gets relatively warm just to confirm it will work when you need it to give you the piece of mind that you have nothing to worry about, and if it doesn’t, it will give you an opportunity to schedule a service call or if non-repairable, the opportunity to have an estimate to replace the system and make a good, no pressure decision on a good contractor with a fair price. As always, we’re here at SM Mechanical to give you any help you need when it comes to HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical repairs or projects for your home.
