If your skin is constantly dry during January or you keep waking up with a scratchy throat, you might be wondering whether or not your furnace is drying out your house. Instead of just dealing with it, a whole-home humidifier could help make your home feel more comfortable.
Our team at Shafer Heating, Cooling, Electrical & Plumbing can help you figure out how much of the problem is indoor humidity and whether a whole-home humidifier makes sense for your heating system.
A pricey furnace repair estimate can leave you wondering if you’re better off buying a new system. But the cost alone doesn’t tell you which choice makes more sense for your home. A repair could give you years of reliable heat, or it could be one more bill for equipment that’s been causing you trouble. Our team at Shafer Heating & Cooling, LLC helps Hillsboro homeowners sort through those options. Here are five questions to help you get started.
A furnace doesn’t have to shut down completely to need attention. If the bedrooms are chilly even with the heat running, or you’ve noticed a new rattle when the system starts, it’s best to find out what’s wrong before the problem gets worse. The Shafer team helps Hillsboro homeowners figure out whether their furnace needs routine maintenance or a repair. Here’s how to tell the difference.
Fall weather in Hillsboro can be unpredictable, with the windows open letting in warm air one day and the heat running the next morning. Instead of waiting to find out something is wrong with your heater during the first cold snap, make sure everything is running strong with heating maintenance. Our team at Shafer Heating & Cooling, LLC comes out to inspect your system, locate worn parts, airflow problems, and other issues before your equipment is running full-time through a cold Ohio winter.
A furnace rarely goes from working perfectly to experiencing a shutdown without giving some warnings that something is wrong. You may notice the house isn’t warming up as quickly, the furnace is running differently than it usually does, or that your heating bill doesn’t match what you would expect.
The Shafer team helps Hillsboro homeowners figure out what’s changed and whether or not your furnace needs service. Here are seven signs to watch for before colder weather puts more demand on your system this winter.
Opening up your windows on a brisk day can quickly make your house feel refreshed. But once cooler weather settles into Hillsboro, most homeowners will shut their windows and leave them closed for months. When less outdoor air is entering your home, dust, pet dander, cooking particles, odors, and moisture can linger longer. That doesn’t mean you need to crack the windows all winter. It does mean fall is a good time to pay more attention to filtration, humidity, ventilation, and the equipment helping clean the air you breathe.
Our team at Shafer Heating & Cooling, LLC can help you understand what’s going on with your air when your home is closed up for the season and what to do to improve your indoor air quality.
Your AC may have made it through another Hillsboro summer, but that doesn’t automatically mean it’s ready to do it all over again next year. The end of cooling season is a good time to look back at how well your system handled the hottest days of summer, how often it needed attention, and whether or not your home stayed as comfortable as it used to. Our team at Shafer Heating & Cooling, LLC helps Hillsboro homeowners evaluate aging AC systems before another summer.
A new kitchen can attract home buyers, but some of the most useful home improvements are hiding behind your walls. The right electrical upgrades can make your home safer, more convenient, and better prepared for the appliances and technology you use. They can also give future buyers confidence that they won’t have to tackle an outdated electrical system themselves. Our team at Shafer Heating & Cooling, LLC helps Hillsboro homeowners make electrical improvements that support safety and convenience while making your home future-ready.
After months of scorching heat, late summer is one of the busiest times of year for an air conditioner replacement. Older systems are more prone to showing signs that they’re nearing the end of their service life. Many AC problems can be repaired, even in older systems, but there comes a point when replacing your AC makes more sense for your budget and comfort. Our team at Shafer Heating & Cooling, LLC helps Hillsboro homeowners make educated decisions based on long-term value instead of short-term fixes.
A circuit breaker is designed to protect your home, not inconvenience you. If a breaker trips, it’s doing its job by shutting off power before the electrical wiring overheats or turns into a fire hazard. Although an occasional trip isn’t necessarily a cause for concern, a breaker that keeps tripping is a sign that something isn’t right and needs attention.
The Shafer team helps homeowners throughout Hillsboro, OH, with electrical repairs, maintenance, and updates to keep their homes safe. The first step is understanding why your breaker keeps tripping so you can avoid bigger repairs and protect your home and family.
