Cities We Service
Keeping homes comfortable in Kalamazoo County takes equipment that can handle all four seasons. Bartholomew Heating & Cooling, Inc. brings trusted HVAC service to the cities listed below:
Don’t Fall into the Trap of Neglecting Your HVAC Equipment
Fall in Michigan is furnace prep season. Before the first real cold snap rolls through, it makes sense to schedule Kalamazoo HVAC service. That goes for not only gas furnaces but heat pumps and hybrid systems as well.
Run a test cycle early.
Turn the thermostat to heat and let the furnace or heat pump complete a full cycle. Listen for odd startup sounds or weak airflow. If you smell burning dust, it’s all right. This is normal when you first turn the system on.
Schedule heating maintenance in early fall.
A maintenance visit gives your HVAC contractor time to inspect burners, safeties, airflow, and controls. This boosts performance and lessens the likelihood of a midseason breakdown.
Look at the humidifier if you have one.
Fall is the right time to check pad condition, water flow, and settings before winter dryness settles into the house.
Do not ignore uneven heating.
Cold rooms, weak airflow, or longer furnace cycles in fall usually get worse once winter hits. Catch those problems now.
