Since our father had a HVAC business, I had grown up accorporationing him to some site visits.
Therefore I had an proposal on how to complicationshoot some of the issues with any HVAC unit, however even though I did not work in this industry, I had some proposal on how to check on these units to ensure they functioned optimally.
When our unit stopped working one Winter time afternoon, I set out to complicationshoot it before contacting an actual HVAC repairman. The first thing I evaluated was the temperature control & it was set to on. The next heat & AC product I evaluated was the gas furnace filter & to our surprise, It was completely jammed with dirt & debris. The jammed media air cleaner had caused the boiler to malfunction & so it apparently needed a boiler repair. I contacted the HVAC repairman who showed up the next afternoon. The heat pump repair revealed what the two of us already knew that the media air cleaner was jammed. The professionals explained why the media air cleaner was so dirty. One of the reasons was that the two of us had set the heater’s fan on, which meant that the sieve collected the pollutants. Another reason was that the temperatures outside were too freezing & so the electric heat pump was working overtime & so was the media air cleaner. The main reason the component was jammed was that the component was of low quality. The heating corporation supplied a sieve of HEPA which was the best quality which would help with indoor comfort. Though I knew more about heating than most homeowners, I had ignored the frequently required HVAC tune-up. Thankfully the hydronic heating unit the two of us had in the guest house did not have an media air cleaner.
