Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and efficiency of your HVAC system. Benefits include:

• Better Air Quality: Regular maintenance includes cleaning and replacing filters, which helps improve indoor air quality by reducing dust, allergens, and other pollutants.

Heat pumps are an excellent choice for Menlo Park homeowners due to their energy efficiency and versatility. Here are some benefits of installing a heat pump:

• Year-Round Comfort: Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, making them a versatile solution for all seasons.
• Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, making them more energy-efficient compared to traditional heating and cooling systems. This can lead to significant savings on your energy bills.
• Environmental Benefits: Because heat pumps use less energy, they produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, making them an environmentally friendly choice.
• Quiet Operation: Modern heat pumps are designed to operate quietly, providing a comfortable and peaceful indoor environment.
• Improved Air Quality: Heat pumps can help improve indoor air quality by filtering out dust, allergens, and other pollutants.

Clean and well-maintained air ducts are crucial for efficient HVAC operation and good indoor air quality. Signs that your air ducts may need attention include:

• Visible Dust and Debris: If you notice dust and debris around your vents, it’s a sign that your ducts may need cleaning.
• Uneven Heating or Cooling: Inconsistent temperatures throughout your home can indicate blockages or leaks in your ductwork.
• Increased Energy Bills: Higher-than-normal energy bills can be a sign that your HVAC system is working harder due to dirty or damaged ducts.
• Mold Growth: Musty odors or visible mold around vents can indicate mold growth inside your ducts, which can negatively impact your health and indoor air quality.

If your HVAC system breaks down, it’s important to take the following steps:

• Check the Thermostat: Ensure that your thermostat is set to the correct mode (heating or cooling) and temperature. Sometimes, simple adjustments can resolve the issue.
• Inspect the Power Source: Check if the system is receiving power. Look for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses and reset them if necessary.
• Replace Air Filters: Dirty air filters can restrict airflow and cause your system to shut down. Replace the filters if they are clogged.
• Call a Professional: If the problem persists, contact Glover & Son Heating & Air Conditioning. Our technicians are available 24/7 to diagnose and repair any issues, ensuring your system is back up and running quickly.
