Heating FAQs

There are a few things you can do:

• Run your system’s fan continuously. Constant circulation will help even out the temperature.
• Adjust your manual dampers (if you have them) to increase/decrease airflow according to your comfort needs.
• Ensure that no air returns are removed or blocked. Without them, it will be difficult to control your home’s temperature, especially in rooms where those returns were removed.
• Consider a zoning system to set and control individual temperatures in each area of your home.

Closing registers can actually do more harm than good. Your system is designed to move a certain amount of air, meaning it will work harder to circulate that air into blocked-off rooms. This can put unnecessary stress on your system.

If you want to lower energy bills or are experiencing hot and cold spots in your house, talk to us about installing a zoning system.

If you’re not remodeling, pipes can be installed on the underside of the floor (between joists) with aluminum paneling. These hydronic pipes connect to either a boiler or water heater to heat your flooring.

Absolutely. Maintenance ensures your boiler functions safely and efficiently. During maintenance, our tech will ensure burners are clean, pumps are lubricated (when necessary), and zone valves and expansion tanks are working properly. Water quality is also incredibly important, especially for high-efficiency water boilers. We’ll take a water sample and test it for any abnormalities.
