Meyer & Depew Addresses Heating Challenges Homeowners Face During Extreme Winter Weather Conditions

KENILWORTH, NJ, March 14, 2013 (Press-News.org) As the winter season enters its latter stages the bitterly cold temperatures have placed considerable strain on home heating equipment that has had to run virtually non-stop during the prolonged cold snaps. In addition, "roller-coaster" temperature swings have placed "stop-and-start" stress on home heating equipment as it is called upon to first keep the home warm and comfortable during a plunge in temperatures, then sit idle for prolonged periods of time as warmer weather blankets the region. For many unfortunate families the result has been no heat on the coldest days.

When heating equipment fails to operate it can lead to uncomfortable and potentially disastrous results. Although to some people the winter may seem harmless, to many of us it can create a great deal of discomfort. The NJ-based heating and cooling company, Meyer & Depew, understands these circumstances and has been consulting with homeowners, advising them of the best ways to maintain a warm, comfortable home until the warm days of spring arrive.

"Whether your heating equipment is three years old or thirteen years old, knowing that it's operating properly means peace of mind and lower energy bills," said Bobby Ring, President of Meyer & Depew. "If your house has an aging heating system that has experienced problems in the past, or even if it's only several years old and has performed well, it's smart to have a trained HVAC technician perform a winter-season system evaluation."

Having a heating system regularly inspected is the best way to ensure peak performance for the rest of the winter. This approach can help avoid more expensive future repairs that would have been inevitable had the system not been inspected. In addition, it can determine if replacement, rather than repair, is more cost efficient. Meyer & Depew installs the energy efficient heating systems that save homeowners money in the long run. This type of replacement has the potential to lower heating bills for years to come.

"Homeowners can perform their own periodic maintenance checks every few weeks during the heating season to determine the quality of the air filter and heat exchanger," advises Ring. "But if the house isn't being heated evenly or if there are humidity abnormalities, it may be a result of a furnace malfunction. And then it's time to call in the professionals."
