Your Pleasant Hill HVAC Company

At Glover & Son Heating & Air Conditioning, we offer a variety of HVAC systems tailored to meet the specific needs of Pleasant Hill residents. Our recommendations include:

• Central Air Conditioning Systems: These systems provide efficient cooling for your entire home, ensuring consistent comfort during the hot summers.
• Ductless Mini-Splits: Ideal for homes without ductwork, these systems offer flexible installation options and precise temperature control for individual rooms.
• Heat Pumps: Offering both heating and cooling, heat pumps are an energy-efficient option that can significantly reduce your energy bills.
• High-Efficiency Furnaces: We install furnaces that provide reliable and effective heating during the colder months, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable.

Improving the efficiency of your HVAC system can help reduce energy costs and enhance comfort. Here are a few tips:

• Regular Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance to keep your system running efficiently. This includes cleaning and inspecting all components, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring all parts are in good working order.
• Upgrade Your Thermostat: Consider installing a programmable or smart thermostat to better control your home’s temperature and reduce energy usage.
• Seal Ductwork: Ensure that your ductwork is properly sealed to prevent air leaks, which can lead to energy loss and reduced system efficiency.
• Change Air Filters: Replace your air filters regularly to maintain proper airflow and reduce strain on your HVAC system.

Zoning systems divide your home into different areas or "zones," each with its own thermostat. This allows for more precise control over the temperature in each zone. Benefits include:

• Enhanced Comfort: Zoning allows you to customize the temperature in different areas of your home, ensuring optimal comfort in each zone.
• Energy Savings: By only heating or cooling specific zones, you can reduce energy consumption and lower your utility bills.
• Reduced Wear and Tear: Zoning can reduce the workload on your HVAC system, potentially extending its lifespan and reducing the need for repairs.
• Flexibility: Zoning is ideal for homes with varying heating and cooling needs in different areas, such as multi-story homes or those with large windows.

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 isn't performing as it should, follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:

• Check the Thermostat: Ensure that your thermostat is set to the correct mode (heating or cooling) and temperature. Sometimes, simple adjustments can resolve the problem.
• Inspect Air Filters: Dirty or clogged air filters can restrict airflow and reduce the system's efficiency. Replace the filters if they are dirty.
• Examine the Outdoor Unit: Make sure the outdoor unit is free of debris, such as leaves or dirt, which can obstruct airflow and affect performance.
• Check the Power Source: Verify that the system is receiving power. Look for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses and reset them if necessary.
• 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.
