It is Transition Time.

As you make the transition from fall to winter here in the Central New Mexico area, it is easy to switch on the heat without giving it a second thought. However, there are a few important things to check before turning on your heater for the first time this season. It is always safety first, of course as you get ready for the cold weather to come.

Here are some troubleshooting tips – 

1. Is there an uncommon smell like burning dust? 

2. What does your carbon monoxide meter indicate...if you don’t have one, get one! 

3. Listen for noises…does it sound like it is struggling to run normally?

When you notice any of the above signs it may be time to call a heating expert in Belen and Central New Mexico. That begins and ends with a call to Daylight Electric and Appliance. Their expert HVAC techs will come to your home or office and inspect the problem. Call Daylight Electric and Appliance of Belen this fall at (505) 864-3980.   
 

Fish Swim, Airplanes Fly, and Boilers Boil…Right?

No, that’s not the case!  Boilers in operation today do not boil water.  The term “boiler” is an old carryover reference from the past when steam boilers were common.  They boiled water to make steam.  Today’s boilers are water heaters that typically use natural gas.  Most of them can heat water in a range just under 200 degrees at the top end.

What are a few things you should know about your boiler system?

1.  Is your boiler standard-efficiency or high-efficiency?

2.  What kind of radiation does it have?

3.  Who maintains your home’s boiler?

That last one is easy.  If you live in Belen, NM or the greater Albuquerque area the answer should be Daylight Electric and Appliance.  They service and repair boilers and other types of heating systems throughout Central New Mexico.  Trust Daylight Electric and Appliance with the care and maintenance of your boiler by calling (505) 864-3980.
