When your heating system doesn’t keep the house comfortable, there’s usually a problem that’s been around a while. You might have to start bumping the thermostat more often or notice the system stays on longer than it used to. A lapse in performance is a sign that shouldn’t be ignored for too long. In older systems, it can be due to wear on key components. In newer ones, it’s often a sign of something out of balance, like airflow, insulation, or calibration.
Cooling tends to follow the same pattern. The system still runs, but it can’t seem to catch up when the heat sets in. Constant cycling or uneven room temperatures point to an issue with load handling, not just age. That’s why we take the time to look beyond the obvious. Our technicians work with Lennox, Goodman, and Daikin systems every day, so we know how they behave when something’s off and how to get them working correctly again.
Some plumbing problems don’t show up until you put the system under stress. That could mean running multiple fixtures at once, doing laundry while someone’s in the shower, or using the kitchen sink after a heavy rain. If the water backs up, pressure drops, or you hear gurgling in the drains, there’s likely something wrong with how the system is venting or draining. These are signs that the plumbing is operating near its limits.
Slow plumbing can happen with undersized pipes or buildup inside the line, especially in homes that haven’t had a plumbing inspection in years. We approach these problems by testing the system under load and finding the exact point of failure. It could be a partial blockage, a problem with the sewer line, or a venting issue that’s affecting flow. Whatever the cause, we’ll find it and fix it in a jiffy.
