A gas log fireplace is a wonderful luxury for a home in Arizona. We don’t rely on heating systems as much as other parts of the country that deal with colder winters… but that doesn’t mean we can’t also enjoy the beauty of a fireplace.
If you’re interested in meeting with the professional heating, air conditioning, and energy-saving team at Magic Touch Mechanical, you have a great opportunity this weekend at the Maricopa County Home Show. This event is held a number of times a year as place where hundreds of companies that provide services for homes and gardens can gather, offering consumers a chance to shop for home improvements and innovations.
Cleaning the fireplace. Sounds like a chore, doesn’t it? If you have a wood-burning fireplace, you know all about scooping out and removing the ashy remains of the last fire.
Proper comfort and energy efficiency in your home is about more than the AC and heater. It’s also about the ventilation system that carries conditioned air to the rooms. It’s easy to put the ductwork out of your mind since you can’t see most of it, but that’s a mistake. Air ducts with damage will start to leak air, and this will have an impact on your comfort, energy savings, and even the quality of your indoor air.
The cold weather (or cooler weather, as the case often is) in the Valley of the Sun starts later in the year than in most other parts of the country. You can delay arranging for regular heating maintenance until around December—but you can’t delay it forever.
Although people who don’t live in the Valley of the Sun might find the idea of heating a home here absurd, residents know that we can experience some cold evenings during the winter. It’s important that you have your home’s heater in the best shape for when it finally has to turn on after long months of hot-weather hibernation.
Although we don’t worry as much about keeping our homes warm during the year in Tempe, AZ as we do keeping them cool, the fireplace is an interesting exception. In most homes, the fireplace isn’t there to serve as a heating system.
Right now, Magic Touch Mechanical is offering a special $75 off on attic insulation. We already offer low prices for blown-in cellulose and fiberglass insulation or fiberglass batts.
One of the key services we provide to assist homes with increasing energy performance is duct testing. Using special equipment, our highly trained specialists will find out the state of the ventilation system in your home and discover how it can be improved.
