Boiler, Furnace, and Heat Pump Maintenance and Repair

Boilers provide heat via boiling water and then dispensing it throughout your home through various radiators or baseboard heaters. Generally fueled by gas or oil. A Furnace creates heat via coils instead of using water. A motorized blower allows the air to flow over the coils and to flow through your ductwork. Propane, natural gas, and electricity can all be used as a power source. Alternative furnace options include oil, geothermal and solar -powered. A Heat Pump, using electricity, moves (pumps) the air throughout the home via the duct work, instead of actually generating it. By taking the “heat/air” from a cooler room and moving it a warmer one is how you keep a warm space warm and a cool space cool. Every type of heater is given an AFUE rating that allows you to know how much fuel is converted to heat. (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). The higher the AFUE rating, the more efficient the heater unit is! Fred’s Home Service can help you determine which of these heat option best fits your lifestyle and budget!

Air Conditioning Services

Did you know that in 1902 the first modern air conditioning system was developed by a young electrical engineer, Willis H. Carrier, to solve a humidity problem at a New York Publishing Company? Just image what humidity can do to the paper and layered inking techniques used back then. Carrier treated the air inside the plant by having it blow across chilled pipes. The air then cooled as it passed over the cold pipes, and since cool air does not carry as much moisture as warm air, this process reduced the humidity in the building and corrected the moisture content of the paper. This method of reducing the humidity in the plant also had the side benefit of reducing the overall air temperature hence a new technology was born.  Ever since then the processes of air conditioning have continued to be improved on and made available to mainstream residential consumers and housing. But as with anything, even the best of the best, they all still need routine maintenance and care. Maintenance catches small problems before they become a costly and complete breakdown.  Fred’s Home Services can provide even the most budget conscious family a cost-effective maintenance schedule. And when it is time to replace your whole house system, Fred can help you make the wisest choice for your household needs.
