This winter, you’re hoping to have a brand new furnace to keep you warm. But there are so many furnaces to choose from. You’re left wondering, which is the right one for your Boulder home?

It’s understandable that maintenance tasks often fall by the wayside. Many Broomfield homeowners follow the mantra of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Everyone is busy and many seemingly more important priorities tend to creep up every month to consume time and money.

Your furnace plays the key role in keeping you warm in your Boulder home, but even with routine maintenance, it does not last forever. Nobody wants to think about replacing any major household system, but it’s generally more cost effective to be proactive in your thinking about it.

Fall is the perfect time to schedule furnace maintenance. You want to be sure all parts are working so you don’t have any surprises this winter.

Taking care of your HVAC system includes seasonal maintenance. With fall here and colder weather encroaching, it makes good sense to use some of these tips to help this season.

Short cycling is a term used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) world to explain a situation where a furnace or air conditioner turns on and off too frequently. The “short cycle” is the period of time that your HVAC equipment is actually running, and the shorter this cycle, the harder your system needs to work. Our team at Efficient Comfort wants you to understand the concept of short cycling, why it can be harmful and costly, what causes the problem, and what you can do about it.
