Most homeowners may want to skimp out on the installation, thinking that the equipment will pay for itself, should reconsider.

Having your equipment work harder will increase your energy bills AND will wear out your system FASTER. If you’re going to be purchasing new equipment, you would want your system to last you as long as you can so protect your investment by getting a proper install – that way, your energy bills will remain low and you’ll elongate the life of your system as well.   Get your install done right the first time!

Those quiet and soothing sounds can typically mean that your system is operating just as it should. In contrast, your system may be under a lot of distress if you’re hearing strange or disruptive noises. Curious to what it could mean? Titan is here to help you distinct the most common “weird” noises that your system makes and why!   RATTLING A “rattling” noise could mean a few things depending on where you’re hearing it from. If it’s coming from the outdoor unit, there may be something stuck in the system such as debris or twigs. This may be an at-home fix you can do – make sure your unit is off and it’s secure to work on and remove any obvious disruptions. If you still hear rattling or have a suspicion that the rattling is coming from the inside, call your local HVAC professional to come diagnose and solve the issue.   HISSING Attempt to determine if the “hissing” noise is light, which could indicate that your air filter may need to be replaced or switched out for the correct sizing or type. Make sure to purchase the right air filters and replace them regularly.   If the hissing sound is more loud and detected from the walls, it may be an air leak or loose ductwork. If this is the case, call your Twin Cities technician to help repair this.   CLANKING If there’s an apparent “clanking” sound that may largely indicate that there are loose parts such as internal parts rubbing together. If not attended to, these loose parts could cause some serious damage to your system. Please call your HVAC experts immediately before the issue evolves into a larger and more expensive case.   Titan Heating & Cooling is licensed in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas.  Offering the best products in the industry in Rheem equipment.

Titan is prepared to provide you with the top winter saving hacks! With just a few simple steps, you can be on your way to ultimate savings on your heating and cooling.   Prepare your home – start by inspecting your home for any leaky areas and seal them immediately and accordingly. The most common methods are caulking and weather stripping doors, keeping the cold air out and the warm air in. Install & use your thermostat – a programmable thermostat, when used properly, can ultimately save you hundreds a year on heating and cooling. Just by setting your thermostat 5-10 degrees lower for eight hours while you’re asleep at night can save you 5%-10% a year. To compromise for the lower temperature at night, make sure to stack on blankets and clothes for a comfortable night’s sleep. Check your filter – whether spring, summer, fall, or winter, you should be consistently checking and replacing your filters according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Dirty filters restrict the flow of air therefore increasing the use of energy. Clear your registers – often overlooked, this winter you can check all your registers to make sure nothing is blocking them. Make sure there isn’t any furniture, rugs, or carpet covering the registers. Consider switching equipment – if your system is in due of an upgrade, switching to a more energy efficient model such as ENERGY STAR appliances will help lower your bills and can even provide you with tax credits.   Saving this winter is easy as 1-2-3! You can always utilize these steps for extra savings, but make sure to contact us for pre-season maintenance and tune-ups for your system. This is essential in preserving the life of your system and making sure its running at its peak efficiency. Call us today at 651-714-8931! [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
