Frequently Asked Questions
The right furnace size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window quality, ceiling height, ductwork, and how cold it gets in Medina County. A proper load calculation helps prevent short cycling, uneven temperatures, and higher energy use. Gene’s Refrigeration Heating & Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical can evaluate your home and recommend a system sized for comfort and efficiency.
Common causes include a thermostat setting issue, a dirty filter restricting airflow, blocked vents, duct leaks, or a burner or ignition problem. If the system runs but rooms stay chilly, a professional diagnostic can pinpoint whether it’s an airflow, control, or equipment issue so you can restore consistent heat.
Many homeowners save energy by keeping the thermostat steady when they’re home, then setting it a bit lower while sleeping or away. A programmable or smart thermostat can automate schedules, reduce unnecessary run time, and improve comfort. If your home feels drafty, sealing air leaks and improving insulation can make thermostat adjustments more effective.
Uneven heating is often tied to airflow and duct design. Closed or blocked registers, dirty filters, undersized returns, leaky ducts, or poor attic insulation can all create temperature swings. A technician can check airflow, duct balancing, and system performance to help your home heat more evenly.
In a cold-weather area like Medina, a higher-efficiency system can reduce fuel use and improve comfort, especially if your current unit is older or your home needs a lot of heat. The best value depends on your utility rates, how long you plan to stay, and whether your ductwork and airflow support the upgrade. Gene’s Refrigeration Heating & Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical can walk you through options that fit your home and goals.
Most homeowners schedule a professional check once a year before the coldest part of the season. A thorough visit typically includes verifying safe ignition and combustion, confirming proper venting, and checking that the system is operating within safe ranges. If you’ve noticed headaches, soot, or unusual condensation, it’s smart to schedule a safety check sooner.
Frequent cycling can be caused by a clogged filter, thermostat placement, airflow restrictions, an oversized system, or a sensor issue. It can waste energy and increase wear on components. Replacing the filter and ensuring vents are open are good first steps, but persistent cycling should be diagnosed by a heating professional.
Many furnace replacements can be completed in a day, though duct modifications, venting changes, or electrical updates can add time. To prepare, clear a path to the furnace area, secure pets, and make note of comfort issues you want addressed (like noisy operation or cold rooms).
