We mean troubles that don’t seem as obvious because they’ve come from some basic misunderstanding and errors made with the heater.
We’re going to go through some common mistakes homeowners make with their heating systems and their consequences. It doesn’t take much to change course or arrange for the heating service you may need to put your heater back on track.
The term radiant heating has a few different meanings when it comes to central HVAC for homes. The general meaning of radiant heating is a way that heat moves: waves of heat radiate off a hot object, and those move through space without heating the air until the waves meet another object and heat it. It’s the feeling you get from the pavement on a sunny day, or when you place your hand near a hot plate.
You never want any bad smells to come from sections of the house, such as moldy odors from the air vents. (This is a common problem called “dirty sock syndrome,” and our HVAC technicians can help you out if it occurs.) But few odors are more distressing and downright unpleasant than foul smells coming from a stinky garbage disposal.
