Trusted HVAC Repair in Aurora
Modern thermostats read temperature using a small electric component called a thermistor. That part can fail over time. When it does, it will provide inaccurate readings. Inaccurate readings can also happen because of grime buildup on the thermostat contacts.
Watch for these other signs you may need an HVAC repair:
- Poor airflow
- Unpleasant smells
- Warm or cold spots
- High or low humidity
- Loud or unusual noises
- Rising energy consumption
Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling Installation
Many households in Aurora get their heating from a furnace. The industry measures furnace efficiency with the annual fuel utilization ratio. AFUE indicates how efficiently a furnace burns fuel. A typical rating for a standard gas furnace is AFUE 80. That means a system converts 80% of the fuel it burns into heat. High-efficiency furnaces have an AFUE of 90 or up. Is that added cost worth it? It is for many homeowners because of the long-term savings and incentives like rebates and tax credits.
Many homeowners in the area don’t find it necessary to invest in a central air conditioner. An alternative is a ductless air conditioner or what’s commonly called a mini-split. These systems have individual indoor units and don’t need ducts. You can, for instance, have a unit in the bedroom and living room. That would typically cost you a lot less than installing central AC if your home doesn’t have existing ductwork.

Schedule a Seasonal Tune-Up
We recommend scheduling heating tune-ups in the fall before you ever need to run your heat. Schedule a cooling tune-up in the spring before you ever need to run your AC. This way, our technician is the first to run your system each season. That goes a long way toward avoiding many common repair issues. There are many other reasons to schedule regular tune-ups as well. HVAC warranties tend to require them. Once our technician completes your tune-up, we’ll provide you with the documentation necessary should you ever need to make a claim. Tune-ups improve energy efficiency, which reduces your carbon footprint and lowers your operating costs. Routine maintenance is also the key to maximizing a system’s lifespan.
