"I have had heating and air companies tell me in the past that I have a crack in my heat exchanger. I cannot see the cracks but assumed that you need magnification to see them. Is there a way to tell if this is true or if they are just trying to scam?" There are a couple of things that should have been done there. If it is a very small hairline crack, you are probably not going to see it unless you have a heat exchanger camera and you go in there with a light and find it. Different heat exchangers from different makers are more prone to fail in certain spots than others so it is important that you have that information also. A picture can be taken with these cameras or like with our devices they have a screen that the home owner can watch while the technician performs the test. This can and should be done so that you can be confident in the work that is being done and so that you can see what is they are finding.If they do find a crack in the heat exchanger, it should be disabled immediately because of the carbon monoxide risk. We disable all of ours when we come across this because it is a safety hazard. We do this because the risk of CO coming into your house is not worth the risk of not turning it off. We turn it off, turn off the gas, put a sticker on it, that way if a company comes behind us they will know that we a have found a cracked heat exchanger. Now I have had these phone calls before where companies will come behind us and say they can't find any leak. So I, on this occasion, asked the technician and he said to me, “did they take the top off the unit?” and they guy said no and so our tech told him that if he took the top off he would find the area that has the crack and it has a marker around it. So if you are going to get a second opinion make sure you have someone that is qualified and knows what they are doing. This is nothing to play with. So you want to make absolutely sure that there is no crack or any damage before you turn that gas back on. Your friend in comfort and energy savings, Derek Cole
5 Ways to Warm Up on Cold NightsThere's nothing quite like a cold night to make you appreciate the warmth of your bed. But if you're someone who gets chilly easily, those cold nights can also be pretty miserable. If you're looking for ways to stay warm this winter, look no further! Here are five tips to help you stay cozy all season long. Wear layers: This one's a no-brainer. When the temperature starts to drop, put on an extra layer (or two...or three). You can always take layers off if you get too warm, but it's better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. And when it comes to choosing your fabrics, stick with natural fibers like wool and cotton. They'll trap heat better than synthetic materials. Close the blinds: Believe it or not, up to 30% of heat loss in a home occurs through the windows. So on cold nights, close your blinds or curtains to help keep the heat in. Just be sure to open them up during the day to take advantage of any solar gain. Cook dinner: Cooking dinner can actually help heat up your home—plus, you'll have a delicious meal to enjoy when you're done! So go ahead and crank up that oven or stovetop and get cooking. Just be sure to open a window if you start to feel too warm. Do some laundry: Running your dryer for even just 20 minutes can add some much-needed warmth to your home on a cold night. So go ahead and throw in a load (or two) of laundry before you go to bed—just be sure not set it on "high" or you'll risk overheating your home. Sleep with extra blankets: This one's pretty self-explanatory. On especially cold nights, sleep with an extra blanket (or two...or three). And if you really want to stay warm, invest in a good down comforter—they're well worth the price tag! ------ Derek Cole is the General Manager of Simmons One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning®, an independently owned and operated franchise based in Laurinburg, North Carolina since 1953.

Maintaining your home's HVAC system involves more than just setting the thermostat to your desired temperature. One of the simplest and most effective steps homeowners can take is regularly changing their air filter. This small task can have a big impact on your indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and overall comfort. Why Changing Your Air Filter Matters Improved Air Quality Your HVAC system's air filter plays a crucial role in trapping dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles. Over time, these particles can accumulate and clog the filter, reducing its effectiveness. A clean air filter ensures that the air circulating in your home remains free from these contaminants, providing a healthier environment for you and your family. Enhanced Energy Efficiency When your air filter is clogged, your HVAC system has to work harder, which can increase energy usage and lead to higher utility bills. By replacing the air filter on a regular basis, you ensure that your system operates efficiently, saving you energy which can save you money. Prolonged HVAC System Lifespan A clean air filter helps maintain airflow within your HVAC system, reducing the risk of it freezing over and system malfunctions. Regularly changing the filter can extend the life of your HVAC system, preventing costly repairs and replacements down the line. How Often Should You Change Your Air Filter? The frequency with which you should change your air filter depends on several factors, including the type of filter you use, the size of your home, and whether you have pets or allergies. Here are some general guidelines: Standard filters (1-3 months): These are the most common filters and should be replaced every 1-3 months. High-efficiency filters (6-12 months): These filters have a longer lifespan but should still be checked regularly (monthly). Homes with pets or allergies (1-2 months): If you have pets or family members with allergies, consider changing the filter more frequently to maintain optimal air quality. Check ANY Air Filter ONCE per MONTH (Put an alarm on your phone as a reminder) Steps to Change Your Air Filter Changing your air filter is a straightforward process that most homeowners can handle. Follow these simple steps to ensure a successful replacement: Turn off your HVAC system: Safety first! Make sure your system is turned off before you begin. Locate the filter: The air filter is usually located in the return air duct or at the blower compartment. Remove the old filter: Carefully remove the old filter, taking note of the direction of airflow indicated by arrows on the frame. Insert the new filter: Insert the new filter, ensuring it is oriented correctly according to the airflow arrows. Turn the system back on: Once the new filter is securely in place, turn your HVAC system back on. Conclusion Regularly changing your home's air filter is a simple yet critical task that can significantly improve your indoor air quality, enhance energy efficiency, and prolong the life of your HVAC system.
