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.”

There is nothing like a Wisconsin winter to highlight the importance of an efficient home heating system. Residential furnace repair is something that seemingly never happens during regular business hours, which is why Robinson Heating & Cooling, a division of Robinson Metal, Inc., offers 24/7 emergency service.

Robinson works with customers to fend off the high cost of furnace replacement with expert residential furnace repair services and tips to minimize your energy costs.

Taking steps to enhance your home’s energy efficiency and lower monthly heating bills can extend the life of your furnace in addition to lowering monthly heating bills.

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.

Did you know that most HVAC manufacturers void the warranty on your HVAC unit if yearly maintenance is not performed on the unit? It is highly recommended that preventative maintenance be administered every year to each of your HVAC units; this includes your furnace, air conditioning system, boiler, water heater.

Robinson Heating & Cooling understands that paying for multiple maintenance a year can become very costly. To help alleviate costs without compromising service, we offer the Preferred Residential Customer Maintenance Agreement. This program is designed to help our customers save money and time by offering discounts on parts, priority when scheduling appointments, reduced cost in labor, and much more. Contact us at (920) 490-3394 for more information on signing up!

With winter fast approaching, Robinson Heating & Cooling is here to help you prepare for the cold while saving money on heating bills. It can be very easy to forget to winterize your home until it’s almost too late. Don’t be caught unawares; begin winterizing your home when it is still consistently above 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside.

Begin by winterizing your outdoor equipment and areas outside your home. Robinson Heating & Cooling can assist you in winterizing your air conditioner, which will require draining hoses and performing a basic cleanup before shutting down your A/C for a period of months. Cleaning your roof of any debris and checking for loose branches on trees around your home will prevent possible damage that may happen due to snow build-up. Any exposed pipes should be insulated and secured before freezing occurs.

Indoors, first check for drafts around windows, doors, light switches, and power outlets. Seal any problematic places with a door or window sealant, or with specialized insulating plastic sheeting. Turn down your water heater and thermostat-for every degree you turn down your thermostat, you save 3% on energy bills.

Finally, call Robinson Heating & Cooling to schedule your yearly maintenance for your heating systems. Optimize your home’s heating system and save money on your winter energy bills!

A dying furnace has its warning signs, but they might not be inherently obvious. Here are a few hints that it may be time to replace your furnace:

1. 1. Your furnace is old. When properly maintained, the average lifespan of a furnace is 15 to 20 years. If you’ve had your furnace for a while, it may be time to replace it completely. Check out our specials for more information on saving money when replacing an HVAC unit in your home!
   2. There are hot and cold spots in your home. Uneven heating can occur when a furnace begins to get older. If you are sure that cold areas in your home aren’t due to poor insulation, your furnace may be to blame.
   3. Airflow is poor. If you can’t actually feel the air coming from your vents, there’s a problem with your furnace.
   4. Your bills are on the rise. This may be the most obvious sign that your furnace is on it’s last legs. An old furnace is less energy efficient, resulting in more energy usage and, yes, higher bills. If you feel that you are paying more for heat now than you were a few years ago, it’s most likely due to a dying furnace.

If you’ve tried replacing your furnace filter and it doesn’t seem to be helping much, it may be time to call Robinson Heating & Cooling to talk about replacing your furnace. Call (920) 490-3394.
