It’s recommended to schedule HVAC maintenance at least once per year to ensure your system operates efficiently. For heating systems, schedule a fall tune-up, and for air conditioners, book a spring maintenance visit. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and extends the lifespan of your equipment.

Common signs your AC or furnace needs repair include:

• Inconsistent temperatures or difficulty maintaining comfort.
• Unusual noises such as banging, rattling, or screeching.
• Higher energy bills without a clear reason.
• Weak airflow or uneven heating/cooling.
• Frequent cycling on and off.

If you notice any of these issues, contact Pincher Creek Heating & Air Conditioning for a professional assessment.

Furnaces typically last 15-20 years, while air conditioners last 12-15 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and environmental factors. Proper care, including annual tune-ups and timely repairs, can help extend the life of your HVAC system.

The best air conditioning system depends on factors like home size, insulation, and budget.

• Central AC is ideal for homes with existing ductwork.
• Mini-split systems are great for homes without ducts or for zoned cooling.
• Ducted heat pumps offer both heating and cooling in one energy-efficient unit.

We install and service Armstrong and Samsung AC systems, ensuring you get the best cooling solution for your needs.

If your AC is blowing warm air, the issue could be:

• Low refrigerant levels due to a leak.
• Dirty air filters restricting airflow.
• Thermostat issues (incorrect settings or malfunctions).
• Frozen evaporator coils due to lack of maintenance.

A professional technician can diagnose and repair the issue to restore your cooling system.

To keep your air conditioner running efficiently, follow these steps:

• Change air filters regularly (every 1-3 months).
• Schedule routine maintenance to keep the system clean and optimized.
• Keep vents and registers clear of obstructions.
• Seal air leaks around windows and doors to prevent loss of cool air.
• Upgrade to a high-efficiency AC system if your unit is over 10 years old.

You may need a furnace replacement if you notice:

• Uneven heating or frequent cold spots in your home.
• Rising energy bills due to an inefficient system.
• Frequent repairs adding up in cost.
• Strange noises like banging, clanking, or screeching.
• A furnace older than 15 years that no longer performs well.

Our team can assess your Armstrong furnace and recommend whether repairs or a full replacement is the best option.

Boilers provide even and consistent heating throughout your home. Benefits include:

• Improved energy efficiency compared to forced-air systems.
• Reduced allergens since boilers don’t use ductwork.
• Longer lifespan, often lasting over 20 years with proper maintenance.
• Quiet operation with no noisy fans or blowers.

We install and service Noritz boilers for Pincher Creek homes and businesses.

To maintain peak furnace performance, follow these best practices:

• Change air filters regularly to prevent dust buildup.
• Schedule annual furnace maintenance to catch small issues early.
• Keep vents and ducts clean to improve airflow.
• Upgrade to a smart thermostat for better temperature control.

Duct cleaning should be performed every 3 to 5 years, or more frequently if:

• You notice excessive dust around vents.
• You have allergy symptoms inside your home.
• There is visible mold growth in your ductwork.
• You recently completed home renovations that produced dust and debris.

Professional duct cleaning improves:

• Indoor air quality by removing dust, allergens, and contaminants.
• HVAC system efficiency, reducing strain on the unit.
• Energy savings by improving airflow.
• Overall home cleanliness by reducing dust circulation.

High indoor humidity can lead to mold, mildew, and discomfort. To control humidity:

• Use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture.
• Ensure proper ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens.
• Schedule regular HVAC maintenance to keep airflow balanced.
• Install a whole-home dehumidification system for long-term control.

For optimal performance, commercial HVAC systems should be serviced twice a year, with:

Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, reduces energy costs, and extends the life of your HVAC system.
