The Benefits New Heating Installation Could Provide You With This Winter

Posted on December 14, 2017 by Cunningham

By now there have been enough cold days this season that you likely have a good idea as to whether or not your furnace may need replacing this winter. However, if you have yet to have your furnace replaced, either due to the cost of replacement or due to the fact that you do not want to deal with the stress of having your HVAC system replaced, you may be surprised to learn how beneficial having your furnace replaced can be. If your aging furnace has been struggling to keep up with the needs of you and your family, here are just a few of the benefits of having it replaced this winter.

Boost Efficiency

If your furnace is 15-20 years old or older, you may not realize how inefficient your system is, and you may be surprised to discover how much money a new furnace could save you. A new furnace will be much more energy-efficient, which will help to greatly reduce the cost of heating your home this winter.

Benefit From a Programmable Thermostat

If your furnace is 20 years old, then you may not have a programmable thermostat. A high-efficiency HVAC system will come with a state-of-the-art programmable thermostat that will give you the ability to not only program your system to turn on and off at specific times, but also, systems with specific zones will allow you to heat certain rooms independently from the rest of your home. This will give you unprecedented control over how and when you heat your home, helping to further save you money on your energy bills.

Breathe Easier

If your furnace is 20 years old, you may be surprised by how much dirt, debris, and allergens have been collecting in your unit and your ductwork over the years. These irritants are then spread throughout your home when you run your furnace leading to increased allergy symptoms and other respiratory problems for you and your family. By replacing your aging furnace you will be helping to make the air in your home more breathable year-round.

4 Warning Signs Your Air Conditioner is Malfunctioning

Posted on June 30, 2017 by Cunningham

Air conditioning malfunctions can turn a joyful summer day into a sweltering nightmare. Luckily, knowing a few common warning signs can help you spot a problem before it becomes a serious issue. Listed below are four symptoms that signal your air conditioner requires the expertise of a HVAC professional.

Poor Air Flow

If the air blowing through your vents feels weak, a failing compressor is a likely culprit. On the other hand, there may be an issue with your ducts, especially if certain rooms are cool while others remain unchanged. To ensure your air conditioning continues to operate efficiently, it’s best to contact a HVAC professional as soon as you notice a discrepancy in room temperature.

Unusual Noises

Squealing or grinding sounds coming from your unit are never a good sign. Unfortunately, any sort of unusual noise can indicate a number of malfunctions and should not be ignored. For instance, a belt may have slipped or other mechanical piece could be loose. If you hear an unfamiliar sound coming from your air conditioner an immediate call to an A/C specialist is warranted and could save you from a more serious breakdown.

Unpleasant Odors

Strange smells coming from your air conditioner can indicate the wire insulation in your unit has burned out. However, if a musty odor is coming from your vents, there is a good chance mold is growing somewhere in your unit or in your duct work. Both problems call for the expertise of an air conditioner repair specialist.

High Energy Bill

If your A/C use has not changed, but your energy bill has suddenly gone up, your unit either needs a tune-up or is need of repair. Unfortunately, neglecting to have your system serviced on a yearly basis can lead to a lack of efficiency and more frequent malfunctions. To keep your energy bill down and your air conditioner in good health, schedule a tune-up today.

3 Reasons to Schedule an Air Conditioning Service in the Spring

Posted on March 31, 2017 by Cunningham

Before you know it, the hot and humid days of summer will be here, and it is important to know that your air conditioning system is going to keep you cool and comfortable. Many people just keep running their system year after year with little to no maintenance, but in the long run, that can be detrimental. Here are 3 good reasons why you should have your air conditioning system serviced every spring.

Regular service will keep your air conditioner efficient. When things aren’t taken care of, you will find yourself lowering the thermostat to stay comfortable. The system will have to work harder to keep things cool and the humidity low, which will, in the long run, cost you money on your utility bills.
A system that is taken care of will not break down unexpectedly. If you have it looked at before the season starts, chances are a worn-out part will be noticed and replaced before the hot weather starts. It’s no fun not having air conditioning during the dog days of summer when you have to wait for a part or a technician who is busy with other air conditioning issues.
Your air conditioner will have a longer life span. We know replacing an entire air conditioning system takes a toll on the finances, so it is wise to do whatever you can to keep it in good working order. An annual tune-up will keep everything running well so you can rest assured your system will be there to serve you for many years.

Scheduling service on your air conditioner system is a comprehensive way to make sure it is ready for the summer ahead. A technician will clean the system including the coils, lube moving parts, replace the filter, drain the condensate line, check fluid levels, inspect ductwork, and inspect wiring. This regular service will ensure your system is dependable and efficient, and ready to keep you cool.

An Overview of Our Maintenance Agreements

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Cunningham

Your heating and cooling system is one of the largest and most important pieces of your home. Routine maintenance not only keeps it running as efficiently as possible, but it can also extend how long your system will last and help keep your energy bills under control.

To keep regular maintenance of your system from becoming another item on your “Get to It Someday” list, we’ve got two maintenance agreements that include semi-annual inspections of your system – right before heating season and cooling season kick in.

Our Maintenance Agreement includes priority service, a 10% discount on replacement parts, no service charge for on-demand calls, and semi-annual inspections for the heating and cooling seasons. Our Platinum Agreement includes everything in the regular plan, PLUS all parts and labor are included for eligible repairs.

What exactly will a Cunningham Associates technician do for you during those semi-annual inspections? Just keep reading to find out!

During your Cooling System Inspection & Service, our technician will:

Inspect the evaporator coil and refrigerant lines.
Check the expansion device, the contactor, the thermostat operation and selector, the circuit breakers and fuses, the temperature drop, the fan motor, the fan blade for tightness, the start capacitors, the start relays, the temperature across the condenser coils, the wiring connections, the run capacitors, and the blower.
Inspect and clean the evaporator drain.
Replace the standard filter.
Clean the condenser cabinet and the condenser coil with water.

During your Heating System Inspection & Service, our technician will:

Check the gas burners, the pilot and tubing, the baffles, the manifold pressure, the gas inlet pressure, the termocouple / flame sensor, the pilot safety, the orifices, the fan and limit control, the thermostat, the fan capacitors and the vent system.
Set the burner air adjustment.
Inspect the gas valve and the combustion chamber.
Lubricate the blower motor, the blower and the bearings.
Adjust the blower belt.
Replace the standard filter.

All of the above checklist items should ideally be completed every year anyway – so why not get them done and save some money along the way? Contact us today to get started with the Maintenance Agreement that makes the most sense for you!

They’re a great company. Whenever we’ve had a problem, they’ve come out within hours. They replace a whole unit, and they do our annual service contracts. They always call and set it up, and they’re clean. They do a thorough job.

They’ve replaced the A/C unit, and they come out twice a year to check the units. They’re excellent. I can’t say enough good things about them. I like their service and their honesty. Their office staff and technicians are great.

They’ve done heating and air for me, and they’re fantastic. They’re prompt and knowledgeable, and they have quality service.

They’re excellent. The product they gave us was top of the line, and it far exceeded our expectations. The service is amazing. They’re my best service provider. Nobody else is as good as they are.

They get the job done. The people who come are always very courteous and helpful, and it’s someone you wouldn’t mind being in your home. You feel like you trust them, and it’s just a great guy. They do the job well, and they’re hard workers.
