Should you run your furnace in the spring?  It's March, and the Ohio weather is finally warming up past 30 degrees. Woohoo! However, that doesn't mean that it's time to turn off the furnace just yet, as your furnace is an important part of your home in most seasons of the year, not just the winter.  In the spring, you might think it's a good idea to turn off your furnace for many reasons, including reduced costs and energy conservation. However, here are two good reasons why you should keep your furnace on:  1. Spring temperatures can drop The average lowest temperature in the spring is 50 degrees, but we know it can get even colder than that on some days (today, it's 23 degrees!). Without heat, even a 50-degree day can get pretty chilly, and a cold home often contributes to health issues. Such health issues can be as insignificant as the common cold, but you'd be surprised to learn that cold temperatures in your home can lead to more serious conditions, like he...

  Summer time is just about here! That means road trips, cookouts, vacations, and of course, air conditioning. Many of us don’t run our air conditioner much throughout the year until the Summer. This sometimes leaves us scrambling when it breaks when it seems like everyone else is getting theirs repaired, too. However, outside of your air conditioner no longer working, how do you know if it’s time to upgrade or service your air conditioner? At Joe Behr , we know this can be a tough question and we’re here to help! Poor Air Flow One way to know that it’s time to get your air conditioner serviced is when you notice lower air flow than normal. Air flow refers to the amount of cool air that is making its way through your duct work and into your home. Sometimes your air may seem like it’s barely seeping out of your vents. It could be the result of blocked ducts. If you haven’t had your ducts cleaned recently, they are probably backed up by debris, dust, dirt, pet dander, and allergen...

As temperatures start to warm and the heat is slowly turned off in your home, it may be time to install a new A/C unit . Luckily, there are many options to choose from when you find yourself in need of a new air conditioner. Here are some things to consider when searching for your new unit!  Cooling capacity is likely the most important thing to look at when finding the right air conditioning unit. The key is to knowing the square footage of the building that you want to cool and picking the unit that has enough tonnage to handle the job. Picking the right size unit is crucial as a unit that is too small will not cool the space effectively and a unit that is too big could lead to humidity issues within your home, which is obviously not ideal!  Energy efficiency is another thing to consider when trying to find a new air conditioner. AC's are ranked by their efficiency according to SEER's (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings. Currently, units are required to have a minimum...

With the winter temperatures here to stay, furnace problems could be appearing. Some problems are far less in-depth than others, but regardless of the problem level, Norwalk Huron Heating and Air Conditioning wants to help take care of them for you. There are a few issues that we see reoccurring in  commercial and residential heating systems . 1. Dirty Filters - A dirty filter is one of the leading causes of costly repairs being needed. The filter helps keep dust, mold spores, and other debris out of the furnace. When it is full, or just old, the filter no longer properly retains these particles which can lead to build up inside the furnace. A clogged furnace will eventually quit working, but leading up to that, your furnace will work harder to produce heat meaning higher energy costs for you. 2. Ball Bearings and Belt Wear - If you notice a strange noise beginning to sound while your furnace is running, a worn blower belt or worn bearings may be the cause. A blower belt will...
