Why Your Heater Isn’t Evenly Warming Your House

Monday, December 13th, 2021

The invention of central heating systems was to ensure that living spaces throughout a house enjoyed an even level of warmth. Maybe a few temperature fluctuations here and there because of windows and insulation and room placement, but in general, central heating is designed to give all the spaces that need a proper level of warmth.

So if you have a central heating system, such as a furnace or heat pump, that is leaving parts of your house too cold (or some parts too hot), there’s something wrong. The solution may be a simple one, or you may need to call our team at Moon’s Air for heating repair in Shreveport, LA. We’ll look at a few possible reasons your central heating isn’t spreading the warmth around evenly.

Gas vs. Electric: Which Is the Best Type of Furnace?

Monday, November 15th, 2021

Furnaces can run from a wide range of fuel types. There are even wood-burning furnaces in use today, although they burn a type of compressed wood pellet that makes them more energy-efficient than old-fashioned furnaces. Other fuel types include oil and liquid propane. However, for most homes, it comes down to two energy choices: a gas-burning furnace or an electric furnace.

The “gas vs. electric” choice often isn’t difficult. If you live in an all-electric home that doesn’t have access to a natural gas line, a gas furnace is not an option. (On the other hand, an electric furnace isn’t your only option for winter warmth; you can also consider a heat pump, which is a whole other topic.) But there are situations where you may find yourself balanced between gas and electric. Is there a better choice between the two? It depends. We recommend you schedule professional furnace service in Mansfield, LA with our team to help you determine your best heating installation.

We’ll give you a head start thinking about furnace type below as we list the pros and cons of these two popular furnaces.
