Monday, April 2nd, 2018

technician-looking-at-furnace“I’m not gonna make it … You go on, leave me behind!”

You’ve probably heard dramatic words like these spoken in many movies and TV shows. What do the heroes usually do in such extreme cases? They pick up their friend and carry them onward, refusing to let them expire.

You don’t have an audience watching who’ll be disappointed because of an emotional attachment to the furnace.

Help, My Heat Pump Won’t Switch to Heating!

Monday, January 22nd, 2018

cold-sweater-manWhen it comes to Summit, NJ heating for a home, a heat pump is a fantastic device. This comfort system serves both as a forced-air heater and air conditioner. When used properly, a heat pump can help a home save around 30% off the costs of using a furnace during the winter.

A heat pump becomes a much less fantastic device when it doesn’t work right, of course. Even the best constructed and maintained heat pump can develop faults.

That brings us to the title of this post: What do you do when your heat pump won’t do the “heat” part of its name?
