  • Extend the Life of Your Hot Water Heater

    Extend the Life of Your Hot Water Heater

    Extend the Life of Your Hot Water Heater

    Hot water heaters aren’t supposed to last forever, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still things you can do to extend the life of your hot water heater. It’s easier than you think!

    Keep Up With Maintenance

    The number one rule for prolonging the life of any HVAC system is to keep up with its maintenance. Don’t just address a problem after it’s happened. Actively work to keep your hot water heater in good health to prevent problems before they cost you.

    Regularly Flush Your Tank

    Over time, sediment from the minerals in your water will settle at the bottom of your tank. If you leave it for too long, it can compromise the efficiency of your unit and lead to internal corrosion. The way to prevent this from becoming a problem for you is to make sure you regularly flush out your tank.

    Check Your Anode Rod

    Anode rods keep your hot water heater from rusting from the inside out by attracting corrosion. After a few years, though, that corrosion can eat away at the metal rod until there’s nothing left, which is obviously a danger to your unit. Lucky for you, replacing a hot water heaters anode rod is one of the most cost-effective repairs a hot water heater often needs. 

    Insulate Your Pipes/Heater

    Although it may not directly affect your hot water heater’s longevity, insulating your pipes and heater can improve the efficiency of your property in several ways. If your hot water heater is struggling to keep your hot water hot, your bill is getting higher, or you worry about frozen pipes in the winter, insulating your pipes and heater will naturally raise the water temperature a few degrees to help reduce its strain.

    Test Your Pressure Relief Valve

    Your hot water heater’s pressure relief valve does exactly what you would think, it automatically releases water when the pressure gets too high to prevent catastrophic outcomes. If it’s faulty, though, it cannot do its job, which means your property is at risk. So, pop a bucket under your T&P valve, lift the lever, and let loose a few gallons. If the water stops completely when you close the valve, you’re good to go. If not, you have to replace it.

    Look At Your Gas Lines

    If you have a hot water heater heated with gas, inspecting your gas lines regularly is definitely a good idea. Having rust, cracks, or leaks in your gas line is not only a serious health hazard for you, but it can also jeopardize your hot water heater in more ways than one as well.

    Add An Expansion Tank

    Because water expands when it’s heated, only so much of it can fit into your hot water heater. With an expansion tank, however, you can minimize the risk of issues with your unit’s internal pressure by expanding the capacity of your tank, effectively prolonging your unit’s longevity.

    Get A Water Softener

    Hard water is horrendous for hot water heaters. The harder the water, the more minerals, like magnesium and calcium, are left able to collect at the bottom of your tank, leading to more frequent flushing. By investing in a quality water softener, you can reduce the sediment left behind in your hot water heater and prolong the life of your unit.

    Use Vacation Mode

    If you’re not using hot water, it makes sense that you shouldn’t have to pay for it – so don’t! If you have a modern hot water heater, your unit likely has a vacation mode that will reduce the temperature of your water while you’re away. Don’t be disappointed if your unit is a bit older, though. You can just as easily adjust the temperature inside your tank manually before and after you leave on your trip.

    For more information on extending the life of your hot water heater or investing in your property’s HVAC health, we encourage you to connect with our talented heating and cooling technicians at Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling by calling (602) 499-7855, or simply fill out the form in the sidebar.

  • Things To Check When Your Heat Pump’s Not Working Right

    Things To Check When Your Heat Pump’s Not Working Right

    Things To Check When Your Heat Pump's Not Working Right

    Your heat pump is likely not something you think about very often. If it’s working correctly, you barely even notice it’s there. When it’s not working, though, it’s all too obvious. Being stuck in the cold without sufficient heating is more than just uncomfortable. As many know all too well, being without adequate heat for an extended period of time can be incredibly dangerous. So, to help you get your heat pump back up and running when it’s not working right, here are some things you should check on first.

    Check Your Power

    If your heat pump stops working because it has no power at all, the first thing you’re going to want to do is check your breaker to make sure it hasn’t tripped somehow. If your circuit breaker has tripped, getting your heat pump back on should be as simple as resetting the breaker. If that doesn’t work, you may need to check to see if you have a blown fuse, which will need a trusted contractor’s touch, or call your local power company and ask about known outages in your area.

    Check Your Thermostat

    Anytime any of your HVAC systems go out, but the rest of your property has power, the first place you want to look is your thermostat. Is it working? Is it set to the correct temperature? Is your thermostat old and outdated, excessively dirty/dusty, or in need of recalibration? Any one of these things can have your heat pump on the fritz.

    Check Your Air Filters/Air Ducts

    All HVAC systems have air filters designed to catch dust and debris from the air as it circulates throughout your property. If your air filters are too dirty, however, your airflow will suffer, and your unit will not be able to function correctly, eventually shutting down entirely. The same goes for your air ducts too. If your air ducts are leaking air through holes or loose joints, or there is too much dust, dirt, or debris, your heat pump will have to work overtime to keep your property comfortable until it wears itself out.

    Check The Reversing Valve

    The reversing valve on a unit helps the system switch between your heating and cooling settings seamlessly. However, when one setting works but the other doesn’t, this is often a sign your reversing valve needs repair, which is a job best left to a trained HVAC professional.

    Check Your Outdoor Unit

    One of the most common causes of a defective heat pump is a problem with the outdoor unit. Being constantly exposed to the elements means you can experience blockages and clogs in your coils if they get too dirty, or even have your unit freeze up entirely. A frozen outdoor unit can result from clogged ducts, a worn-out motor, a damaged fan, a faulty valve, not enough refrigerant, blatant mechanical/electrical issues, or simply a dirty filter. If you see a lot of frost or ice anywhere on or around any component of your outdoor unit, it’s typically a good indication that your unit is freezing up or already frozen and you should seek immediate repairs to avoid future costs and concerns.

  • What You Need To Know About HVAC Changes in 2023

    What You Need To Know About HVAC Changes in 2023

    What You Need To Know About HVAC Changes in 2023
    With every new year comes new advancements in HVAC technology and standards, and 2023 is no different. Heat pumps and central air conditioners, especially, will see major upgrades in the coming year. Keep reading to learn what else is changing and what it means for you as a property owner.

    What’s Changing With HVAC Efficiency?

    As previously stated, the most significant HVAC changes in 2023 revolve around heat pumps and central air conditioners. One of the biggest changes is the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) increase for minimum efficiency standards. Starting Jan. 1, 2023, all units manufactured and sold in Arizona will need to have a minimum 15 SEER rating. That means residents and business owners purchasing units manufactured prior to that date must have the systems bought and installed before Dec. 31, 2022, as all units purchased and installed after this date will be subject to the new efficiency standards.

    Revolutionary New Refrigerants Headed Your Way

    Another big HVAC change happening in 2023 involves the substantial progress to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) plan to gradually phase out R-410a, a highly controversial hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant criticized for its negative environmental impact. As of 2023, cooling systems will come standard with R-454b refrigerant, and all manufactured air conditioners and heat pumps built starting next year will be compatible with this eco-friendly alternative. This will hopefully have a hugely positive impact on the nation’s contributions to global warming.

    Save More In 2023

    While upgrading to newer, more efficient HVAC equipment is always an investment, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) guarantees it will pay off. The efficiency standard increase alone has the potential to save property owners with heat pumps and air conditioners anywhere from $2.5 billion to $12.2 billion in as little as 30 years. That means, if your HVAC system is more than 15 years old, you will actually be paying more money just to hang on to it. Besides, there’s no better time to upgrade your heating and cooling systems!

    Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling is the ultimate one-stop shop for all your heating and cooling needs. Our talented technicians will happily stop by your property anytime to offer you insight and guidance regarding your HVAC needs and expectations for the coming year. As the new units begin to roll out, we can discuss your best upgrade options for your residential or commercial property and ease your mind about your installation process.

  • Get Your HVAC System Ready For Winter

    Get Your HVAC System Ready For Winter

    Get Your HVAC System Ready For Winter

    It’s about that time of year again, the time to get your HVAC system ready for winter. With a little help from Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling, though, it’s sure to be easier than ever this year. Simply read through our helpful HVAC maintenance tips below, and you’ll be good to go!

    Check Your Thermostat

    The first thing you want to do is look at your thermostat. If it uses batteries, replace them. Turn the furnace and AC on one at a time, and make sure you can hear your unit turn on and off. If you really want to go a step further to protect your property this winter, you can even consider upgrading to a newer, smarter thermostat for automatic heating and cooling.

    Replace Your Filter

    The next thing you want to do is change your air filter. A dirty, clogged air filter can degrade your air quality as well as your HVAC unit as a whole, leading to frequent repairs and other serious problems. A fresh air filter will maximize your airflow, keep your unit running smoothly, and ensure your air quality is at its best!

    Clean All Your Coils & Other Components

    A furnace’s heat burners, heat coils, chimneys, air ducts, and other components can get a buildup of dust and grime over time. If left to worsen, this can lead to significant problems with your unit’s overall efficiency and functionality. At the start of every season, you should ensure all parts of your furnace are clean and free of debris or other contaminants that can hinder your system’s performance and impact your air quality.

    Lubricate All Moving Parts

    Like any machine, your furnace has a lot of moving parts that will eventually wear down over time. One way to prolong the life of your unit and these individual moving parts is to make sure they are properly lubricated. Ensuring your belt pulleys, blower motor, condenser motor, and fan are all properly lubricated can dramatically extend the life of your HVAC system.

    Check/Relight Your Pilot Light

    A furnace that still has a pilot light will not turn on or function effectively without it lit. So, make sure after you’re all done cleaning and lubricating your furnace, you check your pilot light and relight it if necessary.

    Call Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling

    Think you may have found something wrong with your furnace or don’t feel comfortable messing around with its components? Don’t sweat it! Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling is here to help with all your HVAC needs throughout the year. We will have your furnace ready for winter in no time!

  • 5 Benefits of a New Smart Thermostat

    5 Benefits of a New Smart Thermostat

    5 Benefits of a New Smart Thermostat

    Are you still in the process of deciding if a smart thermostat is a worthy investment for your property? Stop deliberating and start reaching out to our reliable HVAC technicians at Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling to inquire about getting one as soon as possible. Below are just five of the many benefits you can enjoy by upgrading to a new smart thermostat.  

    Remote Access

    If you’re tired of needing to get up and physically check your thermostat every time you want to adjust the temperature or turn your system on/off, you’re going to love having remote access to your smart thermostat. All your settings are easily accessible from an app you can download onto your phone. Plus, you can check on your thermostat or change your preferences at any time, no matter where you are.

    Smart Programming

    Another important feature smart thermostats have is their smart programming. With the ability to schedule your property’s heating and cooling ahead of time, your thermostat can automatically adjust your thermostat settings unprompted. This is especially helpful if you work away from home most of the day and don’t particularly need your HVAC running while you’re gone. You can program your thermostat to turn itself on and off according to your schedule, so you save more money without compromising your comfort.  

    Cost-Effective

    Perhaps the best and most obvious benefit of smart thermostats is the savings. With greater real-time visibility of your thermostat settings and access to comprehensive energy reports that keep track of your usage, you can easily maximize your property’s efficiency and minimize your energy expenses. Plus, utilizing your HVAC systems more efficiently will also prevent unforeseen problems and repairs, cutting down on your costs even more!

    Long-Term Learning

    Smart thermostats don’t just track your energy usage and generate reports, though. Smart thermostats possess long-term learning technology that works in conjunction with untraceable sensors to learn more about your usage habits, including when you’re at home, working, sleeping, and more, so your thermostat can adjust to your habits accordingly. When your schedule changes, your thermostat will note these changes and adjust automatically to preserve your comfort.

    Smart Compatibility

    Think smart thermostats can’t get any smarter? Think again! Smart thermostats offer all kinds of convenient compatibility features, including voice controls and device pairing, so you can create a custom command network that controls everything on your property, from your lights and virtual assistants to your heating and cooling, from one handheld device.

  • 7 Questions To Ask HVAC Installers Before Hiring Them

    7 Questions To Ask HVAC Installers Before Hiring Them

    7 Questions To Ask HVAC Installers Before Hiring Them

    Choosing HVAC installers to work on the most valuable components of your property is no easy decision. You must set high standards and know what questions to ask to gain insight so that you can make the right decision for your home or business. Our heating and cooling specialists at Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling have even compiled a list of questions you should always ask HVAC installers before hiring them.

    Do Your HVAC Installers Have Proper Licensing/Qualifications?

    The first line of questioning that you need to ask potential installers is regarding their licensing and qualifications. Do they have the proper up-to-date licensing to oversee HVAC installations? What knowledge outside of their standard licensing qualifies them to be your trusted HVAC partner? Here at Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling, our heating and cooling specialists share more than 35 years of experience and are all non-commissioned and BPI/NATE-certified to guarantee a positive experience for you.

    Do You Have Insurance?

    The very next question you need to ask is whether or not your potential installers have insurance. Not having valid insurance can be a huge risk if anything were to go wrong during your installation. Choosing an insured HVAC partner is the only way to protect yourself from financial liability.

    Which Unit is Right for You?

    Once you feel like you’re with an installer that understands your property’s needs and has the level of professionalism and integrity you’re looking for, you can start to ask more in-depth questions to further improve the efficiency of your home or business. Trained, experienced HVAC technicians will always have good advice about which HVAC units will best fulfill your unique heating and cooling demands.  

    Do Your HVAC Systems Have Warranty Coverage?

    Although an average HVAC system should last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, anything can happen, which means it’s never a bad idea to inquire about warranties while you have the opportunity. Just make sure you double-check the specifics, like how long the warranty lasts, what it covers, and what the warranty requires of you to maintain its validity. The more you know about your warranty, the easier it will be to use it if you ever need it. 

    What Is the Total Estimated Cost for Your Installation Project?

    When working with any new HVAC technician, it’s important for you to communicate your budget expectations clearly and ask for as much detail as possible regarding your project estimates. The more you understand about your costs and expenses going in, the more prepared you will be for the unexpected. And don’t forget to ask your installer about other ways to save!

    Are There Any Rebates or Incentives Available?

    Special rebates and incentives for those seeking replacements and new installations can come from manufacturers, power companies, local governments, and other entities outside of your HVAC company, so don’t forget to ask about the potential savings and discounts available to you. You’d be surprised how quickly the savings add up when you consider rebates, warranties, efficiency boosts, and more.

    What Can You Do to Maintain Your New Unit?

    Finally, one of the last questions you want to ask your HVAC installer is how to properly maintain your new unit. Are there annual maintenance plans available that you can sign your property up for? How often should you change out your filters? Learn everything you can about taking care of your new unit, and you’ll never have to worry about anything going wrong.

  • What You Should Know About The R-22 Phase-Out Campaign

    What You Should Know About The R-22 Phase-Out Campaign

    What You Should Know About The R-22 Phase-Out Campaign

    Most industry experts already know that phasing out R-22 has been the plan for many years. With 2020 marking the official end of R-22 production, it’s time for home and business owners, like you, to start paying closer attention to the R-22 phase-out campaign and figuring out a plan for what you need to do once this once widely popular product is no longer available for purchase.

    Why Is R-22 Phasing Out?

    Now, you might be wondering if R-22 is so popular for its superior efficiency and safety, why is it even being phased out at all? And to that, we say: “to save the environment, of course!” As effective as R-22 is, it’s also a “Class II” ozone-depleting substance (ODS) responsible for significant environmental damage. For this reason, the Montreal Protocol and U.S. Clean Air Acts have flagged it for prompt discontinuation.

    What Will You Use Instead Of R-22?

    Are you worried about the inevitable R-22 phase-out campaign? Don’t be! The truth is that there are plenty of refrigerant options specially formulated to replace R-22. R-410a is an especially popular replacement choice, as it has virtually no impact on the environment and is actually superior to R-22 at latent heat absorption and distribution making it generally more efficient. That said, if your older system exclusively uses R-22, it may not be compatible with R-410a. You might have better luck with R-407c, but you should definitely speak with an HVAC specialist who can help you choose the right refrigerant for your property.

    When Will The R-22 Phase-Out Affect You?

    If or when this R-22 phase-out will affect you depends on the type of system you have now. If you have a newer unit that runs on R-410a already, this phase-out shouldn’t affect you at all. If you’re in the process of looking for a new system, simply make sure you look specifically for units that run on R-410a. If your property is running off old HVAC units, you will likely want to upgrade quickly. As R-22 continues to phase out, you can expect to see its cost continue to skyrocket until it is ultimately impossible to find. You can typically identify what type of refrigerant an air conditioner uses by its nameplate. The refrigerant it uses, related safety information, electrical ratings, and other important information should all be listed there.

    Who Can Help You Learn More?

    Eager to learn more about how the R-22 phase-out campaign is going to affect you or upgrade your not-so-green air conditioner to a better, cleaner model? Let Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling show you the way today by calling (602) 499-7855, or simply fill out the form in the sidebar.

  • Why is My Air Conditioner Running But Not Cooling?

    Why is My Air Conditioner Running But Not Cooling?

    Why is My Air Conditioner Running But Not Cooling?

    Your air conditioner literally serves one purpose: to keep your property cool during the hot summer. If it’s not doing its job, it’s time to troubleshoot potential problems. The good news is that Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling is here to make it much easier by giving you an inside scoop about what could be going on.

    Tricky Thermostat

    Tricky thermostats are a common HVAC problem. Dead batteries, loose wiring, and ambiguous settings can contribute to heating and cooling concerns. Don’t worry, though, problematic thermostats are one of the easiest things to repair. Check to make sure if you have batteries, they are charged and look to see that your thermostat is on and set to “cool.” If the problem persists, it may be a wiring issue, which should be repaired by a professional.

    Tripped Breaker

    Are you having problems with your power? If so, this will definitely affect your AC. Air conditioners run on electricity, which means if there isn’t any, your AC won’t work. Fixing the source of your power outage, whether it be a tripped breaker or a blackout, is key to restoring your AC.

    Obstructed Air Filter

    If you have power and your thermostat is working fine, your next step should be to check your air filter. Dirty, obstructed air filters are one of the leading causes of system malfunctions. Remember, the functionality of your air conditioner depends on its ability to circulate air throughout your property. Having an air filter covered with dust, pet fur, debris, and more can not only compromise its ability to work properly but also the quality of the air you’re breathing.

    Blocked Outdoor Unit

    Similar to your air filter, you will also want to make sure there are no leaves, dirt, or other obstructions blocking the airflow of your outdoor unit either. Hindering your heat exchange process will only put unnecessary stress on your unit that can lead to sudden and mysterious breakdowns. To prevent this, we recommend you carefully wash down your outdoor unit regularly, keep at least 46cm of clear space around your outdoor condenser, and keep it tightly covered in the off-season.

    Mechanical Mishaps

    No matter how well you take care of your air conditioner, there will likely come a day when you experience a simple mechanical issue, like a busted compressor or faulty fan motor. This is usually an easy fix too. Just reach out and let one of our remarkably skilled HVAC technicians know what’s up, and we can get it fixed up in no time.

    Refrigerant Leak

    Think of your system’s refrigerant as the magic fluid that keeps your cool air cold during the summer. It circulates continuously to ensure even temperatures throughout the season. If you have a leak and your fluid gets low, though, your unit won’t be able to adequately cool the air passing through. If you notice hissing noises or an icy buildup around your unit, you’ll want to call us for repairs as soon as possible.

    Improper Installation

    Have a newer air conditioner and still not satisfied with your cooling power? You might have a unit installed improperly. One of the main reasons we encourage all our customers to trust our installation services is because all it takes is one little mistake to compromise the efficiency of an entire unit. And it’s not always a simple fix.

    Leaky Ducts

    Your air ducts are what your cool air travels through to evenly disperse it through your property. If they’re worn and cracked or the joints are loose and leaking, the cool air never reaches the rooms it’s intended to reach, leaving you wondering why your property isn’t getting any cooler no matter how low you set your thermostat.

    Old Age

    Nothing lasts forever, so if your air conditioner isn’t working and your system is old (more than 15 years old), it’s likely just time for you to consider getting a replacement. The good news is that there are always newer, more efficient models coming out. So, if you need a replacement, you may even end up saving more money long-term!

    System Freeze

    If your air filter was filthy but replacing it didn’t make too much a difference, there’s a chance your system suffered obstructed airflow too long, causing the refrigerant to freeze the whole thing up. If your evaporator coil is frozen, there’s too much dirt in your drainage pipe, or you’re having an issue with your fan, your unit can freeze up and stop working properly. If this is the case for you, you will want to get a pro out there right away for repairs.

  • What is HVAC Maintenance and Why You Need It

    What is HVAC Maintenance and Why You Need It

    What is HVAC Maintenance and Why You Need It

    For years, temperatures across Arizona have soared above 100 degrees, and there’s no sign of getting any cooler anytime soon. At least, not outside. The temperature inside your property, however, can be easily controlled. So long as you keep up with your HVAC maintenance.

    What Is HVAC Maintenance?

    HVAC maintenance can be quite time-consuming and take quite a bit of knowledge and skill, but that’s only because taking proper care of your HVAC systems is vital for maintaining their efficiency. Many property owners choose to outsource their HVAC maintenance to qualified professionals for this reason alone. Trained HVAC technicians, like ours at Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling, have a comprehensive checklist they follow to guarantee every component of your system is fully functional. This can include filter changes, temperature tests, testing electrical components, checking refrigerant levels, and much more.

    Why You Need HVAC Maintenance

    There are plenty of appliances around your property that require little to no maintenance. Your HVAC systems, though, are not among them. In the summer alone, residents in Arizona pay the most in the country for air conditioning because of how hot it can get, often spending as much as 50% more than any other state to keep their properties sufficiently cool. Proper HVAC maintenance practices help prevent these costs from rising any higher by preventing inefficiencies and frequent repairs. Plus, it ensures your air conditioning will likely not fail you, even on the hottest day of the year.

    Risks Of Neglecting HVAC Maintenance

    Keeping up with your HVAC maintenance isn’t always easy, but it is important. What can start as simply a clogged filter reducing airflow can quickly turn into a frozen or short cycling evaporator coil and eventually lead to a system that doesn’t respond at all. And that’s the best-case scenario. Routine HVAC maintenance can help you detect and prevent other, more serious complications, like damaged compressor motors, refrigerant leaks, and more.

    Don’t Do It All Yourself

    There are plenty of ways you can help maintain your HVAC systems on your own, including keeping them clean and free of surrounding debris, changing your air filters, and making sure your vents are unobstructed to maintain proper airflow. However, when it comes to more technical maintenance, most of the time, you risk more harm than good trying to take care of everything yourself. If you’re serious about taking better care of your HVAC systems, you need a great HVAC partner!

    To partner with Tru Comfort Heating and Cooling, we encourage you to reach out to one of our friendly technicians today. We’ll help you create a cost-effective maintenance strategy that accommodates your property’s unique demands.
