Many home heating & cooling systems are not running at their peak because of years of improper maintenance and poor ventilation systems
You Change the Oil on Your Car Don't You???
WeatherMasters can increase performance of your system to ensure it run less, last longer and
SAVES YOU MONEY !
Heating and Cooling Equipment
Incorrect gas pressure can cause a furnace to burn too hot which can use more fuel than necessary and it also deteriorates the heat exchanger at a much faster reducing the life of the equipment
Incorrect gas pressure if too low can cause the equipment to run longer to make heat costing more and reducing the life of the equipment
Heat pumps and air conditioners that aren't charged correctly run out of balance and need to be checked and the units cleaned every season.
This should be done at the beginning of every summer before the system is called up to cool your home and the reason it needs to be checked during that period is so that the outdoor temperatures are conducive to achieving accurate pressure readings that are more accurately accessed in warm temperatures
Proper cleaning and Tuning can add
years to the life of your equipment and
lower the amount of energy it uses
Air Ducts
Having an unbalanced system effects the equipments ability to cycle properly and it can over stress the equipment, increase maintenance cost and reduce the life span you should be able to have before replacement is neededDuct systems that have not been sealed properly can allow air to escape into unconditioned parts of the home like attics and crawlspaces which will affect pressure boundaries that need to be separated.
Duct work that is leaking or uninsulated where it needs to be allows air to escape instead of being delivered throughout the home which causes the equipment to run longer to get the home up to the desired temperature.
This is a typical situation we see where duct separation goes unnoticed Properly secured and sealed ducts eliminates any chance of leakage
In the case of older systems with gravity venting to expel flue gases, an unbalanced system can create negative pressure causing back drafting which pulls the fumes to escape back into the home which leads to carbon monoxide poising
Duct work can get filled with years
of dust & debris restricting air flow
Contaminated / dirty ducts inhibit positive air flow which can cause the hot air to stay in the furnace longer than it is designed for and again reduce the life of the equipment. Contaminated ducts also affect indoor air quality. Dirt build up in duct systems is like never changing the air filter on your automobile.
Air quality is compromised !
Ventilation
An important thing to do with any home is to make sure that dryers and exhaust fans ventilation is properly installed and and insulated where it runs through crawlspaces and attics
Uninsulated venting introduces a different temperature into these spaces during summer and winter especially and this causes condensation to form on the pipes, drip down and soak into building materials. This affect is a major cause of mold and mildew taking root in these unseen areas
Exhaust fans to kitchen ranges and bathrooms that are not vented to the outdoor
send moisture and steam into attic and crawlspaces collecting in areas and starting mold growth

Poor vent configuration constricting air flow cause dryers to overheat
Lint Build up from years of operating without maintenance or cleaning
Exterior dampers don't operate correctly prohibiting lint and air from escaping
