We don’t often spend a lot of time thinking about our heating and cooling systems. That is until they stop working or start costing us an arm and a leg in energy usage.
At JM Mechanical we understand that your family’s comfort and the cost to keep them that way is a major concern.
That’s why you’ll appreciate knowing that JM Mechanical can take care of all your heating & cooling needs:
HEATING FAQs
How often should I service my furnace or heating system?
We recommend scheduling a furnace tune-up once a year, preferably in the fall before the cold season begins. This helps prevent breakdowns, extends the life of your system, and keeps it running safely and efficiently.
How can I prepare my furnace for winter?
Start the season with a clean furnace filter and schedule a professional tune-up. You should also test the furnace in early fall, clear the area around the unit, and check your carbon monoxide detectors.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
First, check that your thermostat fan setting is set to “AUTO” instead of “ON”. Other causes could be a safety shutdown due to a dirty filter, an issue with the pilot light or igniter, or a lack of gas supply
Why does my furnace smell like something is burning?
A slight burning odor when you first turn on the furnace for the season is typically normal; it's just dust burning off. However, if the smell is persistent, chemical-like, or smells of burning plastic or rubber, you should turn off the unit and call a professional.
What are the common signs my furnace needs a repair?
Look for insufficient heat or airflow, unusual noises (like banging or grinding), frequent on/off cycling, a persistent burning smell, or a sudden spike in energy bills.
