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.

Robinson Heating & Cooling is ready for whatever Mother Nature brings

There is a saying among Wisconsin residents that if you don’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes. Conditions and temperatures can change within the same day, making efficient heating and cooling systems a must for homes and businesses.

Especially during transition months such as March and April, it is not unheard of to have the windows open one minute and the furnace engaged the next. The specialists at Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, Inc., are prepared to service your systems any time of year, ensuring a seamless transition inside even when the thermometer acts like a yo-yo.

“Heating and cooling systems in Wisconsin need to respond quickly to weather extremes, and it’s our job to make sure our customers’ homes and businesses remain comfortable regardless of the conditions,” notes Brad Anthony, sales representative for Robinson Heating & Cooling.

Heating and cooling service and maintenance plans

Annual or semi-annual maintenance by a service professional is an important step in keeping your home comfort system running at peak efficiency. It also may be a requirement of the manufacturer’s warranty.

Robinson’s Annual Energy Saving Agreement features precision maintenance and professional cleaning of heating and cooling systems. It includes benefits ranging from priority status for residential furnace repair and a 15 percent discount on repairs to extend the life of the equipment.

“We saw how quickly the weather can change during the historic cold snap we had in late January and early February,” Anthony says. “Temperatures shot up 70 degrees within three days of record-setting cold and intense demands on heating systems. The same thing can happen in spring, which makes an efficient cooling system as important as your heating system.”

Be proactive to prevent residential furnace repair

Change your furnace filters – It sounds basic (and it is), but you might be surprised to learn that regular replacement of furnace filters is one of the most commonly overlooked steps in home heating system maintenance.

How often is regular replacement? Every month during the heating season is a good idea to ensure maximum air flow helping extend the life of the furnace and minimize dust. This is especially true if you have pets in the house.

Invest in more insulation – Cold air can seep into your house from a variety of sources, including windows, poorly insulated attics, walls and crawl spaces. Older homes have a higher tendency for poor insulation, making your furnace work harder and making it more likely you will require residential furnace repair.

Schedule professional maintenance – Beyond taking basic steps to improve the efficient operation of your home heating system and keeping the heat it generates inside, annual visits from an HVAC professional can ensure optimal performance and potentially head off residential furnace repair events before they happen.

Robinson Heating & Cooling offers an annual energy saving agreement that includes a 15 percent discount on all repairs, priority status for service and other benefits.
