Solar Energy as a Renewable Resource?

Solar flares are all over the news as we head towards the next "solar maximum" in 2012. With recent brilliant displays of northern lights, scientists are concerned that this next solar maximum could deal a devastating blow to our electronic power grid and communications systems. However, solar energy as a renewable energy source is an energy source that is continually replenished. Renewable sources of energy vary widely in their cost-effectiveness and in their availability across the U.S. These include energy from water, wind, the sun, geothermal sources and biomass sources such as energy crops.

Solar technologies use the sun's energy to provide heat, light, hot water, electricity, and even cooling, for homes, businesses, and industry. Despite sunlight's significant potential for supplying energy, solar power provides less than 1% of U.S. energy needs. This percentage is expected to increase with the development of new and more efficient solar technologies.

Concentrating solar power systems focus sunlight with mirrors to create a high-intensity heat source, which then produces steam or mechanical power to run a generator that creates electricity. Flat-plate collectors absorb the sun's heat directly into water or other fluids to provide hot water or space heating.

At Service Experts Heating and Air Conditioning the Lennox® SunSource® Home Energy System fully integrates solar power, harnessing the sun’s free and renewable energy to reduce the electricity used by the heat pump or air conditioning system. This cost-effective renewable energy source can make homeowners eligible for solar rebates.

What Are The Most Common Furnace Problems?

Across the country, temperatures have dropped tremendously and winter has officially started. With that come questions from our customers on what causes the most common furnace problems.

Here are the top heating problems and malfunctions that may cause your furnace or heating equipment to break down:

1. Lack of Maintenance causes unexpected breakdowns, poor comfort or increased energy costs
2. Furnace or heating system pilot or ignition control problems, resulting in intermittent or no heat.
3. Dirty or clogged filters resulting in air flow and comfort problems
4. Air flow problems from fan motors, belts and bearings, causing furnace overheating or poor heating control.
5. Thermostat malfunctions causing no heat, fan or comfort problems.

A tune-up can help to prevent nearly all heating problems that result in no heat or low comfort levels. During a tune-up, all the components are checked and serviced so they operate correctly. Always remember, furnaces of any age may post safety hazards from combustion or gases.

If you haven’t scheduled your furnace tune-up or looking to upgrade your old system, then call us today at 678-534-5344 or 866-EXPERTS. Also, take advantage of our Winter Clearance Sale while inventory lasts before February 29, 2012.

Don't Neglect These Six House Repairs

In this economy, you may be tempted to delay or skip minor home maintenance repairs and inspections in your home.  But don’t be dollar-foolish, when it comes to home maintenance and repairs, the $300 you save today can result in expenditures of $3,000 or even more within the next month or year if hidden problems in your home go unnoticed and become worse.

The six house repairs not to neglect before they become gigantic, expensive jobs later:

1. Annual HVAC Inspection

The furnace blower is not working properly. Cost to repair or replace: $100-$150. Possible consequences of letting it go: a broken heat exchanger.

Potential savings down the road: $300-$1,000 to replace the heat exchanger or $750-$3,500, depending on the energy efficiency, to replace indoor or outdoor furnace components.

2. Chimney inspection

There's no chimney cap. Cost to add: $150. If you let it go, rain water can get into your chimney, damage the chimney liner and damper, and even saturate mortar joints -- causing mold. Potential savings: $2,000-$4,000 to replace the chimney liner.

3. Termite inspection

An inspection might find subterranean termites that come from the ground or flying termites. If left untreated, these bugs damage framing, trim, drywall, furniture, carpet, copper and other soft metals. Termites cause more than $5 billion in damages a year in the U.S., says Paul Curtis, director of quality assurance for Terminix in Memphis, Tenn.

4. Power washing and sealing wood deck

Power washing gets rid of stains, algae, mold, mildew and moss. Algae and mold can make your deck slippery and dangerous, says Justin Lee of JL Power Washing in Williamsburg, Va. Sealing your deck after it is cleaned helps prevent water damage.

5. Dryer vent cleaning

The purpose is to get rid of lint buildup. If your dryer is not on an exterior wall, it's likely that the vent leading outside is clogged up, says Gessner of A Step in Time Chimney Sweeps.

Potential savings: your home, your furnishings, your belongings and your life.

6. Carpet cleaning

If the carpet looks dirty, you've waited too long because some soil can't be removed with vacuuming. This soil will bind to your carpet and dull the texture, shortening the life of the carpet.

Your home also will be healthier with pollen, bacteria, insecticides and dirt removed, says Howard Partridge, founder and president of Clean as a Whistle, a cleaning company outside Houston.

If you've been considering replacing your old, worn-out heating and air conditioning system, we're now offering the lowest prices of the year on furnaces and top-quality air conditioners. It's the perfect time to upgrade or replace your old system. Better still, our financing can help you save with some of the lowest payments the industry has to offer.

But you'll need to hurry because this offer ends when inventory runs out or by February 29, 2012. Call us today at 678-534-5344 | 866-EXPERTS or book your free appointment right now. Get your coupons and schedule now.
