Robinson Heating & Cooling can help you determine if boiler replacement is your best bet

Boiler replacement is not as well-understood as furnace replacement, which puts Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, Inc. technicians in the position of consultant when this question comes up with homeowners.

Boilers are similar to furnaces in that they play a role in heating your home, but the system it uses to get the job done is completely different than that for a furnace. While furnaces circulate heated air through the duct system in the house, boilers circulate hot water through pipes in radiators and radiant floor heating systems.

Boiler replacement does not have to wait until your unit completely shuts down. If your home has an older boiler, it may be worthwhile to investigate whether a newer, more efficient model would deliver enhanced comfort along with energy cost savings.

Heat pumps can supplement boiler replacement strategy

You have several choices when it comes to boiler replacement, some of which don’t involve replacing your boiler at all. Let us explain.

Your boiler may have several years of life left in it, making it sensible to keep it in operation with a little help from a friend in the form of a heat pump. A heat pump can help assist the boiler in heating your home on the milder winter days and can help distribute the hot water more efficiently throughout your home. It is even possible to connect it to radiant in-floor heating systems.

Some boilers can also double as hot water heaters, or with the addition of an indirect storage tank, the existing boiler can provide the domestic hot water for the home.

Our home heating experts can help you answer these questions with a free, no-obligation consultation. We will identify exactly which systems are ideal for your home’s configuration, and let you know what rebates and incentives are available to help you save money on any boiler replacement decision you make.

Robinson Heating & Cooling experts help homeowners make the best choice

Furnace replacement is a stressful proposition for every homeowner, which is why information is so important to the decision process and creating a sense of choice. The technicians of Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, Inc. understand the concern that comes with such a significant investment and take the time to educate their customers on the pros and cons of furnace replacement.

Furnace technology has come a long way in the past 15 or 20 years, making an investment in furnace replacement much easier to accept in the name of enhanced energy efficiency and dependability. Evaluating the current status of your home’s furnace is the first step in deciding whether to pursue furnace replacement or ride it out another winter.

Repairing your existing furnace often is a viable, short-term solution. However, if a replacement turns out to be the more prudent course of action, Robinson Heating & Cooling’s technicians will make sure you have the information you need to understand the situation and make the right choice going forward.

Some air conditioning repair jobs can’t wait for regular business hours

There is never a convenient time for your air conditioning unit to need repairs, but the timing can generate legitimate health concerns for some individuals dealing with serious health challenges. Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, Inc., offers a 24-hour air conditioner service in Green Bay and northeast Wisconsin.

As Wisconsin heads into the latter stages of summer, there remains ample opportunity for warm and humid conditions to extend through the night and create dangerous indoor environments should your air conditioner fail.

Some people with chronic medical conditions are especially vulnerable to extreme heat and can’t afford to wait for air conditioning repair. They may be taking medications that enhance the effects of extreme heat, and people who are overweight tend to retain more body heat.

24-hour air conditioner service is a necessity for some people

Robinson Heating & Cooling understands that 24-hour air conditioner service is a necessary option in instances when air conditioner repair is all that is needed to return your home to a comfortable level.

The CDC encourages caretakers of high-risk individuals to check on them at least twice a day during hot stretches of weather.

• Make sure they are drinking enough water
• Help them stay cool with fans and other air circulators
• Move them to a cooler environment if they show signs of heat stress

Schedule your air conditioner maintenance now to insure your system continues to run at peak performance. But remember, Robinson Heating & Cooling is here for you with 24-hour air conditioner service if a problem does arise.

Robinson Heating & Cooling brings quick service to air conditioning repair

Summers come and go quickly in Wisconsin, which is why homeowners have little patience for a long wait when it comes to air conditioning repair. Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, is Green Bay and northeast Wisconsin’s leader in air conditioning repair, punctuating its professional service with prompt response times.

An investment in air conditioning repair, paired with smart thermostat installation, can save money in the long run by creating a highly efficient home cooling system that keeps your home comfortable regardless of what Mother Nature has to offer on the outside.

How to know if your home needs air conditioning repair

Warm air – This one seems simple enough, but you would be surprised how many people don’t think to put their hand in front of a vent to check the air coming out. If it is warmer than you think it should be, double-check the thermostat to make sure it is in cooling mode and set the temperature lower than your home’s current temperature.

Strange noises­ – Clangs, bangs and booms are not noises you should hear coming from your air conditioning system. For that matter, neither are rattles, buzzes and other noises that may indicate air conditioning repair is in order.

Unpleasant odors – You know that damp, musty smell that comes with summer’s humidity? Well, your air conditioning system shouldn’t be pumping that smell into your house. A thorough cleaning of your cooling system often fixes this issue.

High indoor humidity levels – A properly working air conditioning system should be able to keep humidity levels in check inside your home. If it’s not, a Robinson Heating & Cooling technician can diagnose whether your system needs an adjustment or if a whole-house dehumidifier might be the answer.

Water puddles – It is common for an air conditioner to produce some condensation in the course of operation, but it’s not good if you see puddles of water around your unit.

Contact Robinson Heating & Cooling if you experience any of these to schedule an air conditioning repair appointment for your home.

Robinson Heating & Cooling helps homeowners reduce energy costs

Homeowners seeking an answer to rising energy costs are turning to smart thermostat installation in Green Bay as a simple solution. Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, Inc., installs a variety of leading brands that provide budget relief during peak heating and cooling seasons.

Smart thermostats are programmable devices that allow you to control your home comfort systems and adjust the temperature inside your home by time of day, or even remotely when you are away from home.

Smart thermostat installation is a highly requested service during the summer and winter months because of the high percentage of time a home’s comfort system is in operation. Smart thermostats give homeowners control over their heating and cooling systems even when they are away from home.

Additionally, investing in a whole house air purifier can produce cleaner air for your family to breath during periods when your house is shut tight, such as winter or hot stretches during the summer.

Smart thermostat installation by trained technicians

Like any aspect of your home comfort system, identifying the ideal smart thermostat from a sea of options can be overwhelming. Robinson Heating & Cooling’s technicians can explain the differences between smart thermostats on the market today and ensure your investment is the correct one for your home.

Most smart thermostats require more power than a set of batteries can provide. Since smart thermostat installation involves removing your existing thermostat and connecting the new unit to the proper wire, many homeowners would rather a trained technician handle this task than risk doing it improperly themselves.

Contact Robinson Heating & Cooling to schedule smart thermostat installation in your home.

Robinson Heating & Cooling is a leader among Wisconsin HVAC contractors

For all the time and effort you put into the visual upkeep of your home, it is what you can’t see that has the biggest impact on your family’s health. Air quality inside your home generally is poor compared to the air outside, yet relatively few homeowners invest in a whole house air purifier.

Homeowners increasingly are turning to Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, Inc. to provide whole house air purifier installation services in the Green Bay area. Robinson’s indoor air quality service helps remove pet hair, dust mites and other impurities so you can breathe cleaner air.

A whole house air purifier is a major source of healthier air

Here are some easy tips for cleaner air:

Change your filters — Dirty filters in your heating and cooling systems can release particles into your home’s air. Changing them every month is a good practice, particularly if you have pets.

Reduce asthma and other breathing triggers — Vacuum regularly, change your sheets and wash the blankets you use on the couch.

Minimize mold — The presence of mold can be a significant health risk for some people. Control the moisture levels in your home with dehumidifiers, and check for mold in places it is likely to develop.

Maintain your ventilation system –Clearing out airborne contaminants is a job for professionals. Robinson Heating & Cooling can properly ventilate even the trickiest areas of your home.

Change your carbon monoxide detectors –Carbon monoxide detectors have a limited lifespan. If yours are five years old or more, they should be replaced.

Robinson Heating & Cooling is a trusted Wisconsin HVAC contractor

Northeastern Wisconsin residents are blessed with several reputable HVAC companies, such as Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, Inc., who offer comprehensive heating, ventilation and air conditioning services for residential customers. It is a good idea to do your homework when researching HVAC contractors.

5 tips on how to decide between HVAC contractors

1. Make sure they are licensed and insured

Let’s start basic, and that is by checking that the contractors on your list have the appropriate state license. The last thing you want is an unlicensed individual manipulating your home’s gas lines, electrical and plumbing systems. That could end very badly. The state requires HVAC contractors to be experts in each before they will issue a license.

2. Never accept an estimate over the phone

There are too many variables in play to trust an estimate from contractors who have not even visited your home. The age of your home, the condition of existing ductwork and the type of windows you have are just some of the factors that experienced HVAC contractors will take into consideration when crafting your quote.

3. Accept only written estimates

Always get your estimates in writing. Should anything go wrong or not according to what you believe you heard, there is no way to prove it with having only a verbal agreement. Upstanding HVAC contractors will give you their bid in writing and will itemize every service they will perform on your heating and cooling systems.

4. Check out online reviews

Go to Google and type in the name of one of the HVAC contractors followed by the word “reviews.” Reviews that appear on Google generally are more reliable than those found on the company’s own website or a paid site such as Yelp. It is not unusual for even the best companies to have a negative review out there, but it is a red flag if there are too many negative reviews.

5. Question HVAC contractors who want to sell an older model

Yes, it may be less expensive than a current model year, but do you really want that if your family’s comfort depends on it? That’s not to say you should absolutely rule out taking last year’s model off the HVAC contractor’s hands, but make sure you have more information before making your decision.
