Why Won’t My Furnace Turn On?

Posted on October 20, 2021October 20, 2021 by support@witdelivers.com

If your furnace won’t turn on, it’s easy to feel frustrated and anxious. After all, with your furnace not working, you could get too cold at home and you could even have your pipes freeze. Fortunately, there are a few things you can check when your furnace won’t start. You may be able to do something to get your furnace started again.

If you try all of these and your furnace blower is not working or it isn’t heating, call us at Airmasters Heating & Air right away for furnace repair in North Little Rock. We’ll get your furnace back on as soon as we can.

Air Filter Issues

When you leave an air filter in the furnace too long, it fills up and your furnace has to work extra hard to get the air it needs. This can cause it to work too hard. Some units will shut off when they have to work so hard, while others will break down. If your furnace won’t start, try changing the air filter and see if that helps.

Your Pilot Light Went Out

Check for a blue flame near the bottom of your furnace, or wherever the pilot light is located on your unit. Without this, your furnace won’t turn on. If it’s out, relight it if you know how or call us for help.

The Gas Supply is Too Low

Make sure your gas supply is turned all the way on. Your furnace can’t work without this. Some homeowners think it’s safer to turn this part of the way off, but this only ends with your furnace not working. It should be all the way on or all the way off.

The Thermostat Got Reset

Make sure your thermostat is set where you want it to be. If it got bumped, it could be the reason why your furnace won’t turn on. You’d be surprised how often we diagnose this as the problem behind a furnace breakdown.

Changing Your Furnace Filter FAQ

Posted on October 20, 2021October 20, 2021 by support@witdelivers.com

Here at Airmasters Heating & Air, we get a lot of calls with questions about furnace filters. Here’s what you need to know to keep your furnace running well so you can stay warm this winter.

How Often Should I Change My Filter?

We recommend changing your filter once a month when you’re running your furnace every day. If you’re not running yours that often or you want to be sure it needs changing each month, ask one of our professionals. We’ll evaluate your particular furnace and tell you how often we think you should change your filter.

What Type of Filter Should I Use?

Most people find that normal furnace filters work perfectly fine for their needs. If you struggle with allergies at home or you worry about indoor air quality, talk to one of our HVAC professionals about using a furnace filter with a higher MERV rating. These filters trap more particles but they can also cause your furnace to experience more wear and tear. We’ll help you decide if they are right for you.

How Do I Change My Furnace Filter?

Find the access panel in your furnace. Remove any screws holding it in place and flip it up or remove it. Take out the older filter and put the new one back in its place. Make sure you install it with the proper side up so it filters effectively. Replace the access panel and note the date so you know when to change the filter next time. Dispose of the older filter.

Call Us For Furnace Maintenance

If you aren’t comfortable changing your filter yourself or you’re not sure how to access it, contact one of our professionals. We’ll help you find the solutions you need so you can change your filter regularly. And for other heating services give us a call to have a professional heating expert evaluate your North Little Rock furnace for repairs, maintenance and even replacement. We are North Little Rock’s trusted HVAC company!

Safety Tips for Your Space Heater

Posted on October 20, 2021October 20, 2021 by support@witdelivers.com

Space heaters can be a great way to keep yourself warm without paying to heat the whole house. However, they are also a significant cause of house fires. Here’s what you need to know to use a space heater well and avoid these complications to get you home’s or room’s heating in North Little Rock just right safely.

Check the Heater

Before you plug in a space heater for the first time, check it over. Look at the plug, the cord, and the place where the cord connects to the heater. If you see any fraying of wires, any cracks in the heater or the cord, or any signs of excess wear, replace the heater or get it fixed before you use it.

Give It Some Space

Space heaters should be at least 3 feet from anything that can burn, including rugs, window coverings, furniture, and more. In addition, they should be kept out of doorways and high traffic areas so they don’t trip anyone or get knocked over and left that way.

Avoid Extension Cords

Plug your space heater directly into the wall, avoiding extension cords. Using these can cause overheating which can lead to a fire. If you want to plug your space heater into a power strip, make sure the strip is rated for appliances like this so that it does not overheat, either.

Call Airmasters for Heating Help

If you have any more questions about how to use space heaters safely, reach out to us at Airmasters today. We’ll make sure you have the best heating options for your family and that you can always use them safely and securely. When you need help with your heating in North Little Rock, call us for an expert heating technician to perform heating repair, maintenance or replacement to keep you warm all winter long.

Why is My Furnace Leaking Water?

Posted on October 20, 2021October 20, 2021 by support@witdelivers.com

Are you wondering “Why is my furnace leaking?” or “What to do when furnace leaks?” at Airmaster we have the answers you need and furnace repair in North Little Rock fast. It can be worrisome to see puddles of water under your furnace. While we can diagnose the problem remotely, there are a few reasons why you might be seeing all that water.

Condensation

In high-efficiency furnaces, condensation usually leaks out of the furnace and into your floor drain. If the drain gets clogged or the condensation tube clogs or breaks, you will see puddles of water on the floor.

Internal Drain Clog

Is your air conditioning still working some days? If it shares an internal drain with the furnace and that drain clogs, it can send water to the furnace instead. The leaking water has to go somewhere so it usually ends up puddling on your floor.

Broken Heat Exchanger

When your secondary heat exchanger breaks, you’ll see puddles of water form around your furnace. This can be an expensive repair, so call someone right away to find out what is wrong.

Furnace Humidifier Problems

Do you have a humidifier? If it’s not working well, your furnace can leak water into your furnace, which then leaks out onto your floor. Regular system maintenance can usually find these problems before they get bad enough to cause leaks.

Call for Furnace Repair First

If your furnace isn’t working, it’s a good idea to call for furnace repair first. Our technicians will always let you know if we think that you might be better off replacing your furnace instead. We’ll let you know exactly what is going on with your furnace, how much it would cost to fix it, and what your other options might be.

We can talk you through the pros and cons of furnace repair vs. furnace replacement, too. This gives you all the information you need to make an informed choice about how to proceed with your home heating.

Situations Where You Should Consider Furnace Replacement

There are a few common situations where we often end up performing a furnace replacement. If one or more of these describe your situation, we can help you out.

Your furnace is old. Most furnaces last between 15 and 30 years, depending on the make and model, as well as on how you use it. If yours is older than its projected lifespan, it may not last much longer even if you do repair it this time.
Your furnace emits carbon monoxide. This gas is dangerous and deadly. If your furnace is emitting it, you need to replace it now. No repair will make you as safe as replacement will.
Your heating bills keep going up. As your furnace gets older, it will use more energy no matter how well it is running. Lower these costs by replacing the furnace.
The cost of furnace repair is more than half the cost of furnace replacement. This is a good rule of thumb when deciding how to invest in your furnace.
You have to get your furnace repaired regularly. Frequent repairs can indicate that your furnace isn’t worth keeping up anymore. Eventually, you will need to repair it and you may not want to invest more in it before you do.
You are cold at home even when your furnace is working well. Your furnace may not be powerful enough to heat your home or you may simply need a new one to stay warm efficiently and effectively.

Furnace Replacement in North Little Rock

If you decide to get furnace replacement in North Little Rock rather than furnace repair, we can help you choose a great new furnace for your home. We’ll match you with a furnace that suits your needs, then order it and install it according to manufacturer specifications. Before long, you’ll have a great new furnace and you’ll be warm, too!

Protect Your HVAC System After a Storm

Posted on September 13, 2021September 13, 2021 by support@witdelivers.com

Are you concerned about your HVAC system after recent storms? We don’t blame you! However, you don’t need to stress out. Here are a few things you can think about to make sure your HVAC system works well no matter how high the waters rise.

Regular Maintenance

One of the best ways to protect your HVAC system after a storm is to think about protecting it BEFORE the storm. Making sure your home is ready to withstand a flood at any time can go far towards keeping it working well when one comes.

Start by checking out the state of your gutters, especially those over or around your outdoor HVAC equipment. Make sure they are free of buildup and debris so water can flow through them, rather than getting stuck and pouring out of them. You’ll also want to make sure they don’t empty close to your HVAC equipment. If they do, get some drain extenders and change the water flow.

If your outdoor HVAC equipment is in a low-lying area, you may want to surround it with sandbags or use them to direct water flow away from the area. This can keep your unit from being submerged and requiring flooding repair in the storm’s wake.

After the Storm

If you did your best but you think your HVAC system might have suffered anyway, don’t turn it on! This can cause shorts, fires, and more problems. Instead, call out an HVAC technician to evaluate it and let you know if it needs work before it can run well again.

You may even want to consider replacing it rather than HVAC repair, especially if it was partially or entirely submerged when flood waters rose. If you choose to go this route, the experts from Airmasters can help you choose the best new unit for you.

Your ducts can also be affected by storms and flooding. If your home suffers damage near ductwork, make sure the ducts are intact and don’t have debris or mold/mildew growth inside of them before you use your system again. If you’re not sure, call for help to avoid illness, allergies, and asthma problems and improve your indoor air quality at home.

At Airmasters, our North Little Rock HVAC technicians are experienced in dealing with the aftermath floods can leave behind. We’ll get your HVAC repair completed as soon as possible, and even help you with other flooding repair, so you can get your home back to normal. Call to make your appointment today!

Air Conditioning & Heating Tips

Air Conditioning Tips

A good day is when your AC in Little Rock or the surrounding areas throughout Central Arkansas does what it’s supposed to do. And then there are those not-so-good days. Calling for HVAC service in Little Rock as soon as you see signs of a cooling system problem can prevent the headache and expense of a major repair job. Bonus Benefit: Acting promptly can also spare you the higher utility bills that go hand in hand with a poorly functioning air conditioning system.

(501) 223-2665

You should have your AC in Little Rock checked when you notice any of the following symptoms:

Decreased air flow from the registers
Unfamiliar noises coming from the air conditioner
Moldy odors coming from the ductwork when the air conditioner is running
The air conditioner cycles on and off more than it used to
The breaker for the air conditioner in the electrical panel keeps tripping (or the fuse keeps blowing)
Ice appears on your air conditioner or piping, either inside or outside the house
Your outdoor fan in the air conditioner won’t come on

If you notice any of the above, call Airmasters to have your air conditioning system checked and regularly serviced.

Heating Tips

Don’t let your heating in Little Rock slip away! Make sure all your doors and windows are tightly shut. Check for leaks and replace old weather stripping or caulk.
Use your window shades and drapes to maximize heating benefits. Keep shades closed at night to conserve heat. During the day, open shades to let sunlight in.
Add humidity for winter warmth. It’s an often overlooked comfort factor: Humid air feels warmer than dry air. Increasing the humidity of your home also helps you resist winter colds and moisturizes dry skin. Ask the Little Rock HVAC experts at Airmasters about a humidifier that works for your situation!
Keep your furnace air filter clean. A dirty or clogged filter can make your furnace work harder, which costs you more.
A high percentage of the heat escaping homes is lost through the attic. Make sure you close off any attic vents or fans during the winter and check on how well the attic is insulated. Airmasters’ technicians can help!
Remember to call Airmasters for 24 hour furnace repair in Little Rock if you experience any issues!

Common AC Problems in the Summer time

Posted on July 13, 2021September 20, 2021 by support@witdelivers.com

Summertime means that you will be using your air conditioning a lot, and so you need it to work well. You rely on this appliance to keep you and your family cool and comfortable throughout the warmer months of the year.

If any of these are going on at your property, give us a call and we can come out to do AC repairs in North Little Rock and the surrounding areas to get things working again!

The AC Only Blows Warm Air

Blowing warm air is not what you want your air conditioner doing when it’s hot outside and you are seeking relief. However, this is a common issue that AC units experience after not being used for a long time. Because your appliance is dormant during the winter time, debris can get trapped inside, and then when you go to turn it on, they are blocking cold air.

The AC Won’t Turn On

Many of out customers call us to report that they are trying to turn on their air conditioner but nothing is happening. This issue can also be caused because the AC has been off for many months leading up to the summer. It’s time to call us if this is the case, so we can do an inspection and see if anything is broken or if the wiring is faulty.

The Refrigerant Levels Are Low

Another reason that your AC unit may not work well when you go to use it during the summer is if there is low refrigerant levels. The signs that this may be the root of your issue include low power air coming out, or if the air is not getting cold enough. If this is happening, it likely means there is a leak somewhere, and you need to bring in a professional.

Buying A New AC For The Summer

Posted on June 21, 2021August 9, 2021 by support@witdelivers.com

Is it time for a new air conditioning unit for your home? Now is the perfect time for AC installation in North Little Rock and the surrounding areas, because we aren’t too far into summer yet.

If you replace your AC unit now, you have the best chance of staying cool all summer long, and for many summers to come. Here are a few things we can help you consider when you get your AC through Airmasters.

Picking An AC System

At Airmasters, we are here to help you decide on which kind of air conditioner will work best at your property. After discussing the following factors with you, we can recommend a great product that is going to keep you cool for years to come.

The size of your home. Generally, larger homes need larger AC units or you may choose to install two, each to cool a different part of your home. We’ll look at your house and talk you through your options.
Your air conditioning usage patterns. If you use your AC every day, 9 months out of the year, your needs are different from those of someone who uses their AC a few times a week for 6 months. We’ll get a feel for your usage patterns before we recommend units.
Your energy-saving preferences. Energy Star rated units cost more up front, but they can save you in the long run. We’ll help you decide what is best for you and your family.
Your budget. If you need budget-friendly options when it comes to air conditioners, we’ll do our best to find units that won’t break your bank. We can also help you find financing options so you can get the cooling you and your family need.
