A Dirty Furnace Is Serious Business

Monday, November 27th, 2023

Appliances get dirty over time, this is just a reality of being a homeowner. It’s not just our indoor appliances either, cars, trucks, tools, and even our favorite pieces of furniture gather dust and can get dirty. In most cases, a rag of soapy water or some conventional cleaning supplies will do the trick.

In the case of a dirty furnace, however, you might run into more problems than you might initially think. Furnaces do complicated work in order to keep your home comfortable and safe. Even just a small amount of dust or dirt could clog up the system and cause it to break down or run less efficiently. In some cases, the soot or grime that builds up on the burners could cause your furnace to crack and become unsafe as well.

From the inside to the outside, it’s important to call for furnace repair in Gastonia, NC in case you’ve got a dirty system.

Why the Brand Matters

Monday, July 10th, 2023

Have you ever compared two air conditioner models and been confused why one with seemingly identical parts and a similar feel, might cost more? Then you notice the “Carrier” brand name on the product, and it all starts to make sense. Brand labels represent more than the average air conditioner system.

We do this subconsciously with cars all the time. A Ford or GMC truck is going to conjure up a different picture in our minds than a Toyota. Our expectations change and technology behind each product shifts from brand to brand, which is why it’s so vital that you really understand why our partnerships with brands like Carrier and York really matter.

Today, we’re going to talk about how brand names relate to air conditioning in Gastonia, NC. We’ll discuss the two major partnerships we have, Carrier and York, and talk about why they might be worth more than a generic AC or heating system.
