Double, Double, Toil & (Your System’s Heading for) Trouble

Unearth These Hauntingly Clear Signs That Your System Needs a Repair

From black cats bringing bad luck to houses being haunted, everything seems eerier when it’s Halloween. However, there’s one horror with the potential to haunt homeowners all year long—and that’s their living space losing its comfort.

Well, as the experts in air conditioning and heating in San Diego, Mauzy Heating, Air & Solar’s team can help you send this terror to its final resting place. But doing so means detecting and fixing any system issues quickly.

So keep close watch for these frightening signs that your system needs a repair.

Did You Hear That?

Some things go bump in the night, but your HVAC unit should never be one of them. Rather, it should operate quietly, never making a sound above a slight whisper. So, if you hear your system whine, groan, bang, creak or conjures up  some other terrifying noise, beware. Trouble is lurking around the corner.

Keep in mind, the chilling sound your system emits is a clear indication of the  horrific problem it’s facing. So, as soon as you hear a noise, give us a howl. We’ll accurately identify your system’s need for an HVAC repair in San Diego. Then, using our expertise, we will quickly use our magic on the issue at hand to prevent it from boiling over into a larger and more costly catastrophe that’ll leave you trembling.

Did You See That?

A cozy home is a real treat. However, if meeting your comfort demands means cranking up your unit’s thermostat, then listen up: Your system is tricking you. It has disguised itself as a healthy unit. But if you lift its mask, you’ll see your unit for the monster that it truly is—and that’s a vampire who feeds off of excess energy usage until it drains your budget dry.

You see, a healthy furnace or air conditioner attains and maintains a consistent temperature throughout your entire home—and it does so effortlessly and affordably. So if your energy bills are skyrocketing and your system’s performance is plummeting, then make no bones about it: Your unit’s heading to the graveyard. But fear not! Mauzy’s dependable repairs can bring your system back to life.

Did You Feel That?

Behind every corner of a haunted house rests a spine-chilling horror. Because of this, people navigate from room to room with extreme caution. However, it’s not just these spooky houses you need to fear. It’s your own home, too—and here’s why.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the quality of your indoor air can be as much as two to five times worse than outside air. Luckily, air conditioners and furnaces circulate and filter your air to keep those monstrous airborne pollutants buried. But if your unit begins malfunctioning, then enter your home at your own peril. You see, it won’t be long before those harmful contaminants start rising from the dead and resurrect gruesome allergy and asthma symptoms with them.

So, if your eyes start feeling red and itchy, your nose begins running or you find yourself sneezing more, then it’s time to have your system inspected.

Here Lies Your HVAC Unit

Believing that your comfort system will last forever is just witch-ful thinking. Unfortunately, every comfort system must eventually be put to its final rest. But the trick is to replace your aged system before you come face-to-face with expensive repairs and terrifyingly high-energy bills.

In short, the average furnace or air conditioner lasts about 15 years. However, some units may have shorter lifespans. So to help facilitate the repair or replacement decision, follow the 5,000 rule: Multiply the age of your system by the repair costs. If that number exceeds $5,000, then replacing your unit is your best bet. Conversely, if it’s less than $5,000, opt for a repair.

If you are still torn on what to do, then let Mauzy ease your mind. Our team will use its expertise to help you carve out the decision that’ll unearth perpetual peace of mind.
