It’s Hot in Here…No Kidding.

Sure, it’s hot in your house now, but that won’t last much longer.  Few feelings compare to walking into your warm house, with its efficient furnace, away from the piercing wind-chills and snowy winter weather outside.  I know it seems weird to talk about this in July, but you may be glad that you tackled your home’s heating system in late summer.

Traditional furnaces burn seven days a week, 365 days a year, which is why many ABQ area homeowners are asking, “Should I turn my furnace off over the summer?” The answer isn’t a simple “yes” or “no,” however.  It’s based on several factors, like your type of furnace and its household use, as well as your personal preferences.

Daylight Electric and Appliance of Belen wants you to stay on top of your home’s heating and air conditioning system.  None of us in the Albuquerque area want to wake up on one late September morning shivering because our furnace stopped working efficiently!  For your heating and air conditioning needs call Daylight Electric and Appliance at (505) 864-3980.

What is Load Circulation?

Whether this is a brand-new furnace installation or you are getting ready to replace an older heating or cooling system, it is very important for you to get a load calculation done by a contractor.  The load calculation is an estimation of what exact size of a furnace is needed for your castle.

Here are some things included in the calculation –

1.  A complete inspection which includes walls, ceilings, and floors

2.  Assessing windows, doorways, and the size of the room

3.  Finding drafts

4.  Complying with building codes

A professional furnace installer knows all these things and much more.  In the long run you probably will be replacing your furnace with one of the same BTU rating.  Please allow us to help with this task from start to finish.  We are Daylight Electric and Appliance.  If you are replacing a furnace in the Belen and ABQ area just call us at (505) 864-3980.

Living on the Edge.

That may be a bit dramatic, but when your furnace is about to conk out you had better be ready to keep it humming along through a long Albuquerque winter.  Fortunately, there are warning signs that indicate your home’s furnace is about to “give up the ghost”.  Even one day without heat could be agonizing.

Here are some of those signs –

1.  How old is your furnace?  That’s the obvious place to start.

2.  Have your utility bills gone up?

3.  Have there been previous repairs?

4.  Is the flame yellow instead of blue?

5.  Does your furnace make strange noises?

Daylight Electric and Appliance understands.  A hard-working consistent furnace is a big part of your family’s ongoing comfort this winter and for many to come.  They have experience in all types of HVAC and electrical services.  This winter and in every season count on Daylight Electric and Appliance serving Belen and Albuquerque at (505) 864-3980.

Sick and Tired of being Cold?

When we talk about being sick and tired we mean it literally.  An improperly heated home or office can make people sick and it certainly can wear you down.  It seems like winter should be over soon in the Albuquerque area, but if you have lived here long enough you know that is not true in early February.

Here are a few signs that you need to be thinking seriously about replacing your furnace –

1.  It has reached “retirement age”.  That is usually about 18-20 years, but it could vary.

2.  Increasing service calls.  At some point, just replace it already!

3.  Look at your heating bill.  Has it gone up dramatically in the last few winters?

If you have made the decision to have a new furnace installed, we will be there for you.  We are Daylight Electric and Appliance.  We have been serving Belen NM and the surrounding area for a very long time with expert repair and replacement of any and all models of furnaces.  Why not warm up to the idea?  Give us a call at (505) 864-3980.
