Questions
Why does my furnace smell funny when first turned on?
Dust accumulation in the heat exchanger burns off during initial use, causing a temporary odor. Ventilate your home afterward; the smell is not dangerous.
What are the benefits of a high-efficiency gas furnace?
High-efficiency furnaces (up to 96% efficiency) reduce heating costs by 14% compared to older models, minimizing heat loss and energy waste.
How do I determine the right air conditioning unit size?
A professional evaluates your home’s size, orientation, shading, and window placement to recommend a unit that ensures optimal cooling efficiency.
What causes an air conditioner to blow warm air?
Dirty coils or low refrigerant levels often cause this issue. Regular filter changes and professional maintenance can resolve and prevent such problems.
How often should furnace filters be changed?
Check monthly and replace filters every month to maintain system efficiency and indoor air quality.
Can I convert my wood-burning fireplace to gas?
Yes, Tin Craft’s certified gas fitters can convert wood fireplaces to gas, offering cleaner, more convenient heating with temperature control.
