It’s Time to Stop Bringing Winter into Your Home!

warming up by a house radiator It’s winter again, and although it’s the time to bring in the Christmas tree and the holiday cheer indoors, you don’t have to bring in the cold weather inside too! Heating Repair Company Philadelphia installs and repairs heating units in your home/business to keep everyone warm and comfortable this cold season. The company understands the importance of installing and repairing your heating system so as to contribute to positively: 

 1. Better Health

 Cold weather, especially when experienced indoors contributes to poor health particularly for the elderly, small children, and people who have been unwell for an extended period. However, a properly functioning heating system will keep your home/business warm and reduce cold-related health problems.

 2. Extended Life for the Heating System

Heating Repair Company Philadelphia realizes the importance of repair and maintenance of your heating system so as to extend its life. It will save costs in buying another heating unit too soon. Besides, depending on the manufacturer, some heating systems need to undergo periodic maintenance so as to uphold the device’s warranty.

 3. Maintains Business Productivity

Adequate warm temperatures in your business will encourage employee productivity as they will not suffer from the effects/discomfort of the cold. Customers will also be comfortably warm enough to browse through your shop for an extended period.

 Choosing a Heating System

The main two factors to consider when selecting heating device are –

 1.     Energy or Fuel Source

You should investigate on the most affordable and available source of fuel or energy so as to determine the type of heating device you would like to install. In Philadelphia, heaters can use propane, biodiesel, heating oil, geothermal energy, electricity, and solar energy which have recently emerged and can save on electricity bills.

 2. Distribution System

Most heating systems use water or forced air already heated. The only difference comes in how the water and air are heated and dispersed around the home/business.

 Hot water based heaters circulate hot water from the boiler to copper piping around the house and provide more uniform temperatures around the building than forced air heaters. The hot water in the boiler is usually for domestic consumption.

 Forced-air heaters distribute the heat through air ducts. It is the most used form of heating in U.S. as this system can be used to air condition buildings, humidify and filter the air.

 However, unless you are building/renovating a house, if the heater is not old, it would be preferable to use the already installed heater that came pre-installed with your home/business, to save cost in installing a new one. However, occasional maintenance and repairs by our company are always the wiser options!

 Our top priority at Heating Repair Company Philadelphia is to ensure your heating system’s efficiency. The more efficient your heating system is, the longer your device lasts and the less the cost of operations which lead to a big difference in total annual costs over the system’s lifetime.

Why do you need to carry out maintenance works on your cooling and heating system?

Why do you need to carry out maintenance works on your cooling and heating system?

Heating Repair Company Philadelphia and HVAC Repair Company Philadelphia.

HEATING REPAIR COMPANYApart from the money you spend buying or building the house, installing your heating and cooling system is vital! It is one of the largest investments you will ever make trying in your home. Proper service not only helps keep you’re A/C system running efficiently but also helps to give you’re A/C unit more life and prevent premature replacement. On the other hand, poorly maintained air conditioning systems lead to increased cost of cooling and heating system repair and replacement.

Your repair and maintenance partners Heating Repair Company Philadelphia and HVAC Repair Company Philadelphia will show you why maintaining your cooling and heating system is important. The following are the things that can happen to a poorly maintained cooling and heating system.

 1 Clogging of the evaporator coil

Failure to replace your air filter every 30 days could lead to clogging of your evaporator coil. Apart from leading to poor cooling and heating, this will lead to irreversible damage to your compressor. The result will be high operational costs for repairs and replacement of the compressor.

  2 Failure of the condenser coil

Not cleaning the condenser coil in the outdoor unit for years can lead to its premature failure consequently increasing cooling and heating repair and replacement costs. For your systems to operate at their maximum potential, you certainly need to ensure your condenser coil is regularly cleaned.

 3 Premature compressor failure

Your pets, dogs or cats, should not be allowed to turn the condenser unit into their territory. The deterioration that is likely to result from your canine clawing their paws at the condenser unit may cause poor performance, premature compressor failure, and high operational costs.

  4 Home fires

Your high voltage electrical connections should be done at the highest standards to prevent damage by resultant fires. Not to mention that such fires can cause damage running into thousands of dollars, if not caught on time. Hence why we recommend frequent maintenance works.

  5 Health problems to the family

For both your cooling and heating system, air must flow through the ductwork to give you the required temperatures in your house. However, if your ducts have taken a long time to clean, they may have accumulated a lot of dust and dirt which is passed on to your family’s airspace. This may cause respiratory health problems to members of your family.

Should I use a Ductless Mini Split HVAC system for my Philadelphia home?

Man installing a Ductless Mini Split - Ductless Mini Split HVAC system installation, maintenance and repair services in PhiladelphiaWith so many different types of HVAC systems available in the Philadelphia area, trust Daniels HVAC to match the right HVAC system for home’s needs. Each HVAC system that is available in the Philadelphia area has advantages and disadvantages. To see if a Ductless Mini Split HVAC system is right for you, we need to look at a couple of quick things:

  • Are you having a room addition built in your Philadelphia home?

  • Are you renovating your attic or basement to a livable space?

  • Do you want the flexibility of having different temperatures in different rooms?

  • Do you have a Philadelphia home that does not currently have air-conditioning?

  • Do you like to save money?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions above than a Ductless Mini Split Unit installed by Daniels HVAC may be the perfect choice to provide heating and cooling comfort in your Philadelphia home. To understand what makes the Ductless Mini Split System unique, let’s look at how a Ductless Mini Split System works.

Ductless Mini Split HVAC Overview

A Ductless Mini Split System is a unit that has one outdoor compressor unit that goes to independently controlled pods or units located in each room. Residents in Philadelphia can understand this concept having seen independent radiator heaters or baseboard heaters that have been traditionally used for many years in Philadelphia homes. Because this is a heat pump system the technology allows it to:

  • Pump heat out of the inside of each room independently and pump it outside during the summer.

and

  • Pump in warm air from the outside into each room independently during the winter.

This process of heat transfer is extremely efficient with very few moving parts so maintenance on these types of heat pump systems is very low. To see more about how a heat pump system works click here.

Ductless Mini Split System versus traditional heat and air conditioning systems

Adjusting Ductless Mini Split - Ductless Mini Split HVAC system installation, maintenance and repair services in PhiladelphiaA Ductless Mini Split System installed by Daniels HVAC in Philadelphia, in many ways, is more efficient than a traditional forced air heating and air-conditioning system.

A traditional heating system that utilizes a forced air, gas or electric furnace works from a simple concept of heating air and then forcing it into the home through the ductwork. This ductwork has been routed throughout the walls, ceilings and floors of the Philadelphia home. Because the heated air, in some cases, needs to travel some distance to get to rooms within the home it loses some of its heat and efficiency (as much as 30% depending on the insulation used!) In addition, many older forced air heating systems in Philadelphia do not have return vents independent for each room or area creating an inefficient capacity for recirculation and reheating. Traditional forced air heating systems in Philadelphia also can create cool zones (areas that received no heat) within the home based upon how the ductwork was positioned.

A Ductless Mini Split HVAC system eliminates the need for ductwork, therefore instantly it is more efficient than traditional heating system. It additionally will allow for the elimination of cold zones commonly found in traditional heating systems as well. Add to that the advantage of being able to set the comfort level in each room can significantly increase the efficiency and drastically reduce your heating bill. By lowering the temperature in rooms seldom used you can essentially decrease the workload that the heating system needs to keep the home comfortable.

Pro’s and Con’s Ductless Mini Split HVAC system

Cleaning the filters in the Ductless Mini Split HVAC system in PhiladelphiaYou’ve  come to know Daniels HVAC in Philadelphia as a straight shooter over the last 25 years… and were going to be no different here.  In this article we have addressed many of the advantages of a Ductless Mini Split HVAC system; but we should discuss the two disadvantages of this type of system:

The Wall Mounted Unit

Unlike a traditional forced air heating and air-conditioning unit that has a centrally positioned blower, a Ductless Mini Split HVAC system uses independent units mounted on the wall 6-8 inches from the ceiling. Depending on the size and layout of the room, this unit may create a visual point that might not match the style of the room.

Heat Pump Technology

Because the Ductless Mini Split HVAC system utilizes heat pump technology (see article on heat pumps) in extreme cold conditions a backup heating system may be necessary. To keep with the comfort zone advantages we would recommend utilizing an electric baseboard heating system that would only kick in to help keep the temperature at your desired comfort level.

When experience counts

Daniels HVAC has been the Philadelphia area expert in Ductless Mini Split HVAC system installations, maintenance and repair for years. With our reputation and customer service going back 25 years in the Philadelphia area, customers have come to trust our expertise when helping decide which HVAC system will work best in your Philadelphia home. Because there are so many different systems available such as the Ductless Mini Split HVAC system, we can discuss with you your needs, budget and application of your HVAC unit to make sure that you get the very best price for the HVAC unit that will fit your individual need.

Professional TIPS for Maintaining your Plumbing System Philadelphia

Professional TIPS for Maintaining your Plumbing System Philadelphia

women calling daniels hvac companyA very important part of your home is the plumbing system and it remains one of the most frequently used also. You are doing so many things that have to do with the plumbing work in the house – you take a shower, visit the toilet, do the dishes, wash your hands, do your laundry and so on. That is not all; the boiler heating in a lot of homes is directly connected to the central plumbing system, take for example, your water heater. Blocked drain is plumbing problems commonly experience at home and they do more harm than good. This is the major reason why you need the help of a professional plumbing repair company that will help to completely remove the chunk of grease or hair that is plugging your drainpipes. But professionals cannot be in your house every time, so you need to know few tips on how to keep your plumbing system running as smooth as possible. Highlighted below are few tips on how to ensure smooth and efficient running of your home plumbing system:

Be Familiar with Your Plumbing System

This is definitely one of the most important things you need to know about your plumbing system. To maintain your home plumbing, you must know where your pipes are located, their direction, which one leads to which one and so on. During renovations or some basic home repair activities, piping can be damaged unknowingly with either nails or staples. You can get stud sensors from any hardware store closer to you to know where water shut-off valve are located and how to turn it off in case of any emergency or when there is need for you to do so.


Keep Your Drains Clean


It is very vital to have your sewage drains inspected and cleaned by a professional on a regular basis. This is necessary to increase their lifespan. It is better and cost-efficient to maintain them than to pay heavily for them to be repaired or replaced pipes.

Avoid Chemical Drain-Clearing Products

You can easily use chemicals to clear your drain pipes, but the truth is they do more damage to the drainpipes than good. It is very amazing to know that some of these problems can easily be corrected with the use of common chemicals, but it might lead to corrosion of the cast-iron drainpipes and because the clog cannot be removed totally by the use of chemicals, there might be reoccurrence of the problem sooner than you expected.

Always Check for Leaks

gas meter / gas pipeingIf you want to enjoy your plumbing system as you should, then you must always check for leaks. Failure to do this will cost you extra bucks as a lot of water will be wasted. Well, it might be a bit cumbersome to do, so the best way to do it is to check the water meter to know the level before going to bed when no one else is using water, then check the meter again when you wake up before anybody else do.

Avoid Future Clogging

The pressure puts by backed-up water on wastepipes badly stress and shortens their lifespan. Try as much as possible to avoid plug-ups by taking good note of what goes down your drains. As much as possible, keep hair out of your bathroom drains, food scraps out of the kitchen drains and things like toilet paper and sewage out of toilets. Prevent buildups by installing screens over drains in tubs and showers and make sure you pull out hair on a weekly basis. Remember, grease is liquid when hot, but solid when cold, avoid pouring grease down the drain.

You cannot afford to stay in a place that is either too cold or too hot; this will create a lot of discomfort around the house. To live a comfortable life, your heating system must be well maintained through regular servicing by a professional HAVC repair company.  This will not only keep your heating system in an excellent working condition but will also ensure you are comfortable during the winter months. It is pertinent to note that sending your heating system for repairs need huge costs; one of the major ways of avoiding such expenses is through regular precautionary maintenance.

So many heating and air conditioning repairs could be avoided if they are not neglected and are given essential regular preventive maintenance measures. In most cases, they are neglected and are noticed when it is already too late, probably when the ventilating, cooling or heating function already weakens or do not turn on anymore. There is no need to worry yourself much about this as the contractors handing the cleaning, maintenance and inspection can take up the burden. All they need to do is to check the safety controls, system’s operation, connections, electrical components and so on. Yes, this will come with a price tag, but you will be certain of having peace of mind. It is very vital to have HVAC unit service regularly to provide comfort and convenience needed by your family.

Highlighted below are few reasons why you need to invest in your HVAC unit maintenance:

  • Increases Your Units ’Lifespan: To prolong your units’ lifespan, regular maintenance is needed. It helps to keep it in best working condition. If your heating unit has not had a tune up in a while, it might be working overtime. Regular maintenance helps increase units’ lifespan and prevents unnecessary breakdowns.
  • Lower Energy Bills: Your HVAC units breathe and run efficiently when you maintain it on a regular basis. The resultant effect of this is decreasing energy bills which put more money back into your pocket. Any major issue is addressed before they get out of control.
  • Improved Air Quality: When an expert inspects your HVAC unit for any safety hazards, you are improving the air quality and creating a safer environment around your house. Your heating unit can cause fires if left for too long unmaintained. Regular maintenance will ensure clean ducts and air filters which will both increase functionality and improve air quality.

TIPS & TRICKS TO KEEP YOUR HOME WARM FROM THE BEST HEATING REPAIR COMPANY

HEATING REPAIR COMPANYIn Philadelphia, the temperatures can get really cold sometimes especially during the winter months. It has become a common phenomenon for homeowners to begin to contemplate on the readiness of their heating system in handling the winter months, whether they will be able to run constantly. There is no doubt about it; keeping your home as warm as possible is one of the things that will be at the top of your list when getting ready for winter.

There are many occasions where the outside temperature will drop, especially during the winter, all you need is to keep calm and make use of tricks highlighted below to keep your home as warm as possible:

  • Make Use of Rugs and Several Carpets: When you lay a number of rugs and carpets over hardwood floors, you are trying to retain heat as much as possible. This will not only retain heat, but will also make your family’s feet feel better when they walk around the house barefoot.
  • Invest In Insulation: Another very effective trick is to put plastic film around your windows to insulate your home. These plastic films are reasonably priced and are very effective in preventing drafts of cold wind from blowing past any warped and old window frames. Thinking about where to get plastic films, do not worry yourself much; they can be purchased from majority of hardware stores around you. All you need to install them around your windows is just tape. Insulation is very useful when you need to save money. This does not have to be costly. You can also try foam weather stripping for both your windows and doors; this will help to keep valuable heat ensnared inside.
  • Keep Your Doors Closed: Simple right? But it is one of the most effective ways to keep your house as warm as possible. Keep your doors closed either you are in a room or not. Close your doors immediately you leave a room. This action helps not only to trap heat, but also to retain heat. When you leave your doors open, you are creating room for heat to escape and do not forget, more cold air will rush in. This method is particularly important for staying warm at night.

AIR CONDITIONER, IMPROVING THE LIFESPAN

AIR CONDITIONER, IMPROVING THE LIFESPAN

man doing air conditioning repair philadelphia pa.It is no more news that poor working condition of your air conditioner will put you in a very sticky, hot and humid condition particularly in the summer; and to the elderly, extreme temperatures could be more dangerous. You need to stay comfortable by having an air conditioner that is in perfect condition. Your air conditioner may not work correctly based on variety of problems; from thermostat or sensor not working correctly to compressor or motor failure to dirty filter or evaporator and to low level of refrigerant.  It is very vital to have a trustworthy and experienced technician check up your system as improper care like failing to fix a leak, adding the wrong refrigerant or making so many other errors can create more problems.

If you have neglected a checkup for so long, chances are that your air conditioner may not function as well as it should. Leaving debris and dirt congesting the cooling fins can considerably reduce the effectiveness of your air conditioner and to crown it all, will reduce its lifespan. It is obvious you cannot do everything; only an expert can fix things up, but most of the routine cleaning chores can be easily handled by you. It is pertinent to note that purchasing a new air conditioner may be the best solution in some cases; at www.DanielshvacPhiladelphia.com, we have technicians that will help you choose the best option as well as the right size for your home, bearing in mind your lifestyle.

So what can you do to guarantee optimal working condition of your air conditioner? Highlighted below are some tips that will guide you in maintaining your system:

Clean the Condenser

One of the most important things to do before cleaning your condenser is to switch off the power at the main electrical panel. Have your outdoor unit cleaned.  Clean the condenser fins. They usually get dirty mainly because air is suck through them by a central fan, pulling in dead leaves, dust, dead grass and floating cotton. The cooling ability is reduced when the debris obstruct the airflow. You might want to check the owner’s manual for direction on how to do this efficiently.

Restart the Condenser

After cleaning, turn the power on and set the house thermostat to cool to power on the compressor. The insulated tube should become cool after few minutes. If you mistakenly switched your AC off while the compressor was running, you need to at least wait for five minutes before switching it on again; this is simply to decompress the compressor before restarting.

Clean the Indoor Unit

To do this, you need to also switch off the power at a nearby switch or at the main source. Pull out the furnace filter, check it for dirt buildup, clean it or replace it if necessary. Vacuum the evaporator fins with a brush just like you did with the condenser in the outdoor unit. You might also need to check the manual for details on this or visit us at www.DanielshvacPhiladelphia.com 

Is Cleaning my heating vents needed?

sneezing - Heater repair services in PhiladelphiaFor those homes in Philadelphia that utilize a forced air heating system that relies on ductwork to channel the heated air throughout the home, you may have noticed clouds of dust or even odd smells when you fired up your heater for the winter; this more than likely was a result of a buildup of dust and debris in your heating ductwork. Daniels HVAC has been serving the needs of Philadelphia homes for over 25 years. Our experience in the different areas of heating for your home gives us a unique perspective and ways to help you live a more comfortable and problem free winter. Take a look at some of the information about the need for, and how to properly clean, your forced air heating ductwork in your Philadelphia home.

Allergy Sufferers Beware

Because the ductwork in your Philadelphia home is something you don’t generally think about throughout the year it is the ideal nesting place for dust, allergens, debris, fungus and mold that can easily cause allergy sufferers to have a miserable winter season as well as make it easier to get sick. While many Philadelphia residents are never affected by allergens it can certainly make for an uncomfortable time for many that suffer from these allergens. Properly cleaning the vents and ductwork can significantly cut down on reactions from the debris and contaminants that can often build up inside of the ductwork.

Location, Location, Location

It is the location of the floor vents that is most common in Philadelphia homes that makes them most susceptible for collecting dust and debris. Because they are on the floor they collect dirt just like your carpet and floors do, only the dirt builds up around the vents or goes down into the ductwork making it more difficult for your vacuum cleaner or mop to resolve. Because the floor vents are traditionally positioned within the walkway, the vent can act like a cheese grater on the bottom of your shoes knocking the dirt off and into the ductwork. This dirt can combine with the dust pulled into the system from the return vent and create a hodgepodge of dirt and debris into your ductwork system. Unattended over a period of time this can create mold, fungus and other allergens that can start to put off a foul smell.

Can I save money and clean the ductwork myself?

Cleaning Heater Vents - Heater repair services in PhiladelphiaWhile Daniels HVAC does recommend the regular and general cleaning of the heating vents, the ability of the standard homeowner to be able to effectively clean the ductwork within the home is very difficult. Daniels HVAC in Philadelphia utilizes special tools and techniques to properly clean the ductwork to remove dirt, debris, mold and other contaminants. While utilizing long vacuum hoses may sound effective it can sometimes just push the larger particles further down into the system, making it more difficult later on. Not to mention, for most Philadelphia homes ductwork is not simply going straight lines; the ductwork bends and twists within the walls moving around electrical wires and water pipes, so having the proper equipment is a must.

What is the best way to keep my ductwork clean?

The simplest and most effective way to help keep your ductwork clean is to regularly change your filters. Even cheap HVAC filters do a good job of catching particles that can continue to circulate through your forced air heating system when replaced every 30 days. More expensive filters can work better on the finer particles that can often result in allergens and often say you can go up to 90 days between changing, we do not recommend any filter being in the system that long. Regardless the filtering capacity the filter you should still regularly replace the filters to remove the contaminants every 30 days.

Do electrostatic filters really work?

Actually yes. Electrostatic HVAC filters installed into your Philadelphia home can bring an added layer of protection as the electrical current creates a drawing effect for dust particles that pulls and traps them in the filter material. While I’m not sure it’s fully justifies the price that some of them are going for, they actually do have a measurable reduction in dust circulation within the home.

When Experience Counts

Daniels HVAC has been the go to heating expert in Philadelphia for over 25 years. We know how important it is to be able to get a heating system expert out quickly; but just as important is one that will treat you fairly. We pride ourselves in living and working in the same community in which we serve; Philadelphia has always been our home and suspect it always will be.
