After buying home, plan for expenses

Filed under: Chicago Furnace, heating and cooling — admin @ 6:04 pm

Many first-time owners don’t set enough funds aside for maintenance and emergency repairs, industry experts say.
January 01, 2010|By Amy Hoak

Chicago — On his road to homeownership, Scott Leibfried has learned one thing: Expect the unexpected.

He and his wife had an offer accepted on a home, only to later find that foreclosure proceedings were about to begin on it. That’s after they considered another home that was aesthetically pleasing but had major issues that came to light upon closer inspection.

For previously owned homes, an inspector will estimate the age of major components, giving the home buyer a sense of when they will need replacing. A furnace, for example, often lasts 12 to 15 years; a water heater from 10 to 12 years, he says.

Furnace repair contractor Chicago

Furnace repair contractor Chicago 1-8-2010 The snow has come and gone for the moment. The frigid temperatures according to the newscasters are to follow in the next couple of days. One of the most common problems we see with furnaces and boilers during the snow and then the frigid cold is the flue pipe freezing up.

The flue pipe rarely freezes completely, but what does happen is that the moisture that is created from the warm flue gases hitting the cold outside temperature`s creates condensation in the flue pipe then drains back down to the furnace or boiler causing pressure switch problems as well as an abundance of water backing up in the inducer motor which causes flash codes of three blinks, most manufactures use the same codes. Sometimes the water in the inducer motor also has to do with improper drain line installations as well as clogged drains from the secondary heat exchanger on high efficient furnaces or boilers.

Another problem with high snow and frigid weather is the PVC flue pipe that exits the side of your structure or home,on occasions when the PVC pipe was not raised 2 feet above ground level, snow drifts can block the Pvc flue pipe causing  pressure switch problems as well. You can`t stop Mother Nature but you can be aware of issues due to Mother Nature concerning your high efficient furnace.

Another problem we see when the weather is snowy and rigidly cold is gas meter regulators that clog up and decrease the flow of natural gas supplied to your structure or home. This is not real common but we see this problem 4 or 5 times a year and usually peoples gas or nicor gas takes care or the problem if our service technicians cannot. We can only clear snow or ice away from the regulator and clean the venting screen otherwise the gas meter belongs to the gas companies and they must do all the other repairs beyond our control.

In closing if you are having flash codes of three on your furnace look at the obvious problems mentioned above before condemning the furnace. It can be confusing, but correctable.

One other problem that can cause pressure switch problems besides a defective pressure switch is a crack or cracks in the heat exchanger, we will leave that for a different blog.

In closing We from Around The Town Heating say have a safe and prosperous New year and pay attention to the obvious first by Calling Around The Town Heating and Cooling for all your HVAC needs. 312-243-9896 or 708-388-2247 Thanks Big Ed!

Wrigleyville heating repair contractor Chicago, Go Cubby’s. Cubs don`t play in Chicago when its cold, however we Chicagoians do, we walk our dogs we ice skate we walk to the train, we walk in the windy city to our offices and work all day then back track to our homes in the cold to go to the warm safe haven of our homes.

The worst feeling is when you come home to find you have no heat, and your home is as cold as outside.  Now what do I do?  You being educated, knows that the answer is either on the sticker on your furnace or boiler or just a search on your laptop or desktop computer for a heating repair contractor near Wrigleyville Chicago.  Being you don`t have a maintenance agreement contract with no hvaccompany you probably are preparing yourself for a hefty bill. Some heating repairs are a in and out procedure and the cost is survivable  and other repairs can be a very ouchy cost. One way to help alleviate the chance of a heating break down is to keep your furnace filter clean, oil your water boiler circulation pump, drain your steam boiler weekly and have your heating system tuned up and keep your temperature setting on your thermostat down when your not home.
