"Because we took advantage of their yearly inspection plan, we didn’t pay anything extra."
Korey came and checked our a/c yesterday, he carefully checked the entire system, changed our filters, and made sure the temperature output was nice and cool from all the vents. Because we took advantage of their yearly inspection plan, we didn’t pay anything extra. We are very happy with Arthur’s Air Conditioning and Heating. Their entire staff is friendly, and accommodating.

"Thanks for the fantastic service at a critical time!"
Clayton Alexander of Arthur's Air Conditioning and Heating came out on time on a cold 6 degree Sun morning with a -10 wind chill. My heat pump/electric coil system was not heating properly & my house was down to 63 degrees and getting colder. Clayton was able to diagnose a faulty switch for the electric coil part of the heating. The heat pump itself was working fine but couldn't keep up with the demand by itself. Clayton was able to patch the system so that both the heat pump and electric coil could work while the part was being ordered & received. Thanks for the fantastic service at a critical time!

When it comes to keeping your home warm throughout the colder months, choosing the right furnace is crucial. After all, you do not want to purchase a brand new furnace and realize later that it cannot perform as you need it to.
The four most common types of furnaces are:
Single-stage furnaces: These furnaces deliver a continuous stream of heat at maximum capacity, ideal for regions with mild winters due to their simple design.
Two-stage furnaces: Offering more control than the single-stage furnace, these can switch between lower and higher settings based on weather conditions, enhancing efficiency and delivering even heating throughout your home.
Variable-speed furnaces: With adjustable blower motors, these furnaces can customize airflow to match your heating needs precisely, maximizing energy efficiency and maintaining consistent comfort.
Modulating furnaces: The most advanced option available, modulating furnaces can finely adjust heating output to accommodate your home's temperature requirements, leading to exceptional comfort and efficiency.
If you are not an expert in home heating technology, there is no need to worry—our team can walk you through the available options and help you choose a unit that is suitable for your home based on your needs, budget, and circumstances.
Understanding Furnace Efficiency Ratings
Furnace efficiency ratings, often referred to as annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) ratings, measure how efficiently a furnace converts fuel into heat over a typical year. The AFUE rating is represented as a percentage, indicating the amount of fuel converted to heat compared to the amount of fuel consumed.
A higher AFUE rating means the furnace operates more efficiently, with less wasted energy. For example, a furnace with an AFUE rating of 90% converts 90% of its fuel into heat, while the remaining 10% is lost through the exhaust. Modern furnaces are available in a range of efficiency levels, typically from 80% AFUE (standard efficiency) to 98% AFUE (high efficiency). While high-efficiency furnaces may come with a higher initial cost, they can significantly reduce your energy bills over time.
It's also important to consider that the ideal AFUE rating for your home might vary based on your local climate, the size of your home, the size of the furnace, and your heating needs. In regions with colder climates where furnaces are used extensively, we recommend a high-efficiency model.
Determining whether you need to replace your furnace or if it simply requires some repairs can be challenging. Often, the symptoms of a failing furnace can seem minor or sporadic, making it hard to judge—or even notice—the severity of the situation.
To help you make informed observations, we've compiled a list of straightforward signs that can indicate your furnace might be due for a replacement. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to consider replacing your furnace.
Investing in a new, energy-efficient furnace can make your home more comfortable, lower your energy bills, and improve the quality of the air in your home.
Aged Furnace
Most furnaces have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years, and efficiency can significantly decline as they age.
Rising Energy Bills
An unexpected increase in your energy bills may suggest your furnace is losing the ability to heat your home efficiently. Older furnaces have to work harder to provide the same level of heat as newer models. In other words, they consume more energy and cost you more.
Frequent Repairs
If you find yourself calling for furnace repairs more frequently than you have in the past, it might be cost-effective to invest in a new system.
Inconsistent Heating
Uneven heating or noticeable cold spots in your home could be signs that your furnace can no longer distribute air properly.
Excessive Noise
Older furnaces often start to make strange noises, such as banging, popping, or rattling. These sounds can indicate that its parts have worn out or that the unit is struggling to fulfill its duties.
Visible Signs of Rust or Damage
Physical signs of wear and tear, such as rust around a furnace or on its components, could indicate that it's time for a replacement.
Poor Air Quality
An increase in dust, dirt, soot, or rust particles in your home can be a sign that your furnace is not filtering the air effectively.
Frequent Cycling
If your furnace turns on and off more frequently than it should, it may be overworking due to inefficiency or a faulty thermostat.
