Is There a Wrong Time for a Furnace Replacement?

If your furnace refuses to turn on or does not seem to be running as it should, A-1 Heating & Cooling is always ready to assist you. But to help you save both time and money, we suggest you first go through these several troubleshooting tips.

Questions to Ask Before a Furnace Replacement

Ready or not, winter will soon be heading into the St. Albert area. If your furnace barely made it through last year, or if you have been told it is time to replace it, now is the time to get it done. When properly maintained, it could last you for up to 20 years. So, you want to make sure to ask these six questions first before replacing it.

Keep Your Home Comfortable This Summer with Air Conditioner Repairs

Today, more than ever, your St. Albert home should be a place that you can count on to be comfortable. However, if your air conditioner is malfunctioning in the heat of summer, your home is not going to be all that comfortable. That is why it is essential to understand whether your air conditioner needs repair or should be replaced.

Things to Look Out For to Know When Your Furnace Needs to be Repaired

It is never a good idea to put off furnace repair because you could be putting your and your family’s safety at risk. You also risk causing damage to your St. Albert home and additional damage to your HVAC system. However, there might be a time where you might not be able to avoid delaying repairs temporarily whether it is because of a budgeting or scheduling issue on your end.

Why Getting a New Central Air Conditioner Means You Should Consider a Furnace System Overhaul

Did your air conditioner limp along this past summer with one breakdown after another? Now is a good time to replace it so that you can avoid the spring rush and be ready for next summer. But here is something you should consider about having your AC replaced. When it comes to your home’s heating and cooling system, it is very unlikely that both your air conditioner and furnace will fail or need to be replaced at exactly the same time. However, upgrading your entire system will save on installation costs and can provide you with the perfect HVAC system to provide your family with greater comfort and efficiency.
