Although you probably haven’t needed to turn your home heating system on yet this season—we’re experiencing a hot-to-warm fall so far—it won’t be long until it will be putting in regular work. We hope that you’ve already arranged for a maintenance visit from one of our heating professionals to see that your heater is ready for the job. (If you haven’t, it’s certainly not too late to sign our Proactive Service Agreement!)

What You Can Expect from Heating Maintenance
Monday, October 3rd, 2016
Now that it’s October, we strongly recommend you arrange for a heating maintenance visit from one of our professionals as soon as you can. As November closes in, you can expect HVAC professionals to get busy, so now is an excellent time to take advantage of a slower period and have this vital job ticked off your “to-do” list. Seasonal maintenance helps identify repairs or efficiency adjustments before the heating season, ensuring your system is ready for the colder months. When choosing a technician, ensure they are certified by organizations like North American Technician Excellence (NATE), which indicates a high level of training and expertise. Certified technicians use specialized tools to inspect and maintain heating systems.
Our business is committed to providing reliable HVAC services and ensuring our customers receive the highest level of satisfaction with every visit. Proper licenses and insurance, including liability and workers’ compensation insurance, are required for HVAC contractors in Louisiana, and we ensure compliance with these standards to provide you with peace of mind.
We’ve already discussed why heating maintenance is so important in a recent post. Now we’re going to take a close look at what you can expect when one of our experts comes to your home for the service. We’ll use a gas furnace for our example, since this is the most common type of heating system in the area. Radiant heating systems, while not as common, provide comfortable and efficient heating without losing heat through ducts. However, they come with a higher initial installation cost and do not provide air conditioning. After maintenance, our technicians can walk you through the operation of your heating system to ensure you understand how to use it efficiently and safely. The process is different for other types of heaters, but you can expect our technicians to know exactly what to do.

It’s a Warm Fall… But It’s Already Time to Pay Attention to Your Heater!
Monday, September 19th, 2016
The start of fall is this week—but it might as well still be the middle of summer with the hot temperatures that we’re still enjoying. With the weather the way it is now, how in the world can you think about the winter ahead and taking care of your heating system?
Problems That Occur When a Furnace Isn’t Venting Properly
Monday, March 7th, 2016
With spring upon us in just a couple of weeks here in Shreveport, LA, you are likely getting ready to shut your furnace off for the season, if you haven’t already done so. Hopefully, you haven’t had any serious problems with your system this winter. However, if you’ve noticed your furnace hasn’t been venting properly, it’s best to take care of this issue now rather than putting it off until the next warming season.
Boiler Problems That Can Happen in Late Winter
Monday, February 22nd, 2016
Most Elm Grove, LA residents don’t give much thought how their boiler functions, until it has a problem. Even then, as it’s nearing the end of winter you may be tempted to hold off on repairs until next winter. This could prove to be a detrimental mistake as small issues have a way of turning into expensive boiler repairs.
Is My Furnace Supposed to Rust?
Monday, February 15th, 2016
Even though you may not understand the science behind how a furnace works (and we don’t expect you to) you’re likely well aware that water is not a component of a functioning system. That being said, why are you noticing rust in your heater? This is actually not an immediate cause for concern, but it’s still an issue that you should keep your eye on.
The Benefits of Having a Service Contract for Your HVAC Equipment
Monday, February 1st, 2016
We’ve written before on our blog about how important it is to arrange for annual maintenance to inspect, clean, adjust, and generally service your home’s air conditioning and heating systems. You can call up a professional HVAC company twice a year (once in spring for the AC and then again in fall for the heater) to schedule this routine maintenance. However, a better approach is to sign up for a service contract, such as the Proactive Service Agreement that we offer.

Furnaces are the most common type of home heating system in the country. You probably have one working now to provide winter-time comfort for your family. But did you remember to arrange for a maintenance visit for it during the fall? This is one of the most important services to schedule each year to keep your HVAC system working in the best shape for the longest time possible.
