Frequently Changing Filters | Forest Park, Flossmoor, Evergreen Park

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

As Americans, we inherently have busy lives full of things to remember on a day to day basis. Maintaining the heating and cooling system may not be a task that needs to be completed every day, but for most, checking the furnace’s filter just once a month is still too much of a task to remember. In order to make sure things continue to work properly, many homeowners will invest in fancy filters that can last for multiple months, so that they don’t have to remember to change the filter every 30 days. However, some of these homeowners are finding that despite the manufacturer’s claims that the filter should last 3 months or longer, the filter still needs changing every 30 days. Before you blame the manufacturer, take a moment to consider that the problem might not be your filter; it might be your HVAC system and the air quality in your home!

Finding the Source of Air Quality Problems

It is recommended that once you replace your filter or upgrade to a new type of filter you check it every 30 days to make sure that it is able to handle to air quality in the home. For some, 30 days comes and the filter that is made to last 3-6 months is still in good conditioner. For others, the filter already needs to be changed. The problem lies within the home’s air quality. You may have animals or other factors that are contributing to the dirty air in the home or you may just have filthy ducts. As the furnace circulates air through them, debris is picked up and caught by the filter. When this debris is excessive, it can waste a filter in 30 days or less. (more…)

Gas Company and Manufacturer Rebates are Still Available | Cicero

Friday, January 27th, 2012

The Federal Tax Rebates may be long gone in 2012, but that doesn’t mean you can’t save on the purchase of a new furnace and air conditioner this winter! Residents of Chicago and Northern Illinois can take advantage of rebates offered by Peoples Gas and Nicor. For a limited time, the local gas companies have partnered with ComEd to offer hundreds of dollars in rebates towards the purchase of select furnace and air conditioning systems. These high efficiency furnaces and air conditioners carry significant rebates of up to $400 per unit. In total, you can get up to $800 in rebates when you purchase a new energy efficient furnace and air conditioner. Even if you choose to only purchase a furnace you can still get rebates of up to $200.

Remodeling Your Home? Have Your HVAC System Cleaned

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Having work performed in the home can create quite a mess. From dirty floors and walls to construction dust on every surface, getting the home back to its original condition after the repairs or remodeling jobs have been completed can prove to be quite a task. Many construction companies will clean up after themselves, but nearly all of them forget about the mess they made of one very crucial system in the home: the HVAC system! All of that dust, debris, and odor will be swept up into the duct work to be transferred through the furnace and then re-circulated throughout the home. Depending on how extensive the work was, you may have a serious air quality and furnace efficiency problem leftover. You are going to need someone to clean up this system, and Four Seasons has got your back.

Cleaning Up After Construction

  • Duct Cleaning: Many homeowners have never had the ducts cleaned in the home, so odds are they are not only full of construction debris but also years and years of particle build up. A professional duct cleaning from Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning is the only way to restore this part of the system back to peak performance and bring clean air back into your home. Without this service, you could be left breathing in construction dust for years to come.
  • Heating and Cooling Cleaning: With all of that debris circulating through the ducts, it will have to pass through the furnace and air conditioner as well. If you aren’t using advanced filtration system to capture these particles before they dirty up the furnace, then you probably have a mess inside your system that could be causing a massive decrease in energy efficiency. Burners and heat exchangers that are coated in a layer or dust and debris cannot transfer heat as effectively and energy efficiency suffers. You will end up paying more to use the furnace every month because the system will need to burn more fuel to keep up. (more…)

Mild Winter Adds Up to Savings! | Bridgeview, Bedford Park, Posen

Friday, January 20th, 2012

As January inches closer and closer to its close, many of us are beginning to realize that this winter is not going to be as fierce as expected. We haven’t had to rely on the furnace as much as we have in recent years, and the decreased demand for heat has driven down the price of natural gas. The savings have begun to roll in and now all of this money that was to be allocated for heating and home is sitting around in need of use. Why not put that money to good use and invest it in your home? We cannot hope for these mild winters to continue in the future, but you could energy costs down even in the harshest of winters by making energy efficient improvements with Four Seasons!

Efficiency Improvements from Four Seasons

Any efficiency improvement from insulation to light bulb upgrades would make a difference, but upgrading the furnace and air conditioner will literally transform the way your home consumes energy. The combined energy use of these two systems makes up the majority of the energy use within the home. If these units are inefficient, that could add up to a lot of waste especially during the heavy use seasons. (more…)

Affordably Improving Comfort with Four Seasons | Homewood, Cary

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

One of the top complaints when it comes to home comfort is temperature inconsistency from room to room. Drafts and inadequate circulation are often the source of these types of problems, and many homeowners feel that they are at a loss when it comes to finding a solution to this issue. Many people can’t afford to blindly spend their money in search for an answer, but Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning has a few suggestions that any homeowner can cheaply implement in the home.

3 Ways to Even Out Your Home’s Temperature:

  • Furnace Fan: The first step towards improving circulation in the home would be to turn the furnace circulating fan to “On.” The fan is most likely set to the “Auto” position which would only allow the fan to run when the furnace is generating heat. By turning the fan on all of the time, more air exchanges will be made through the ducts of the home which will lead to better circulation and disbursal of air in the home.
  • Ceiling Fan: During the winter months, changing the direction of flow of the ceiling fan will help aide circulation in the home as well. A fan set to run clockwise will push air up. This effectively pushes that hot air that has risen to the ceiling back down into the room. This will help eliminate temperature variances from room to room and help optimize use of the heat created by your heating system. (more…)

Winter is Here and Your Home Needs Power! | Lombard, Lyons

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

Now that the snow has finally arrived, many of us are probably realizing that we didn’t miss it as much as we thought. Though this is only the first real snow storm of the season, there are bound to be more and with the snow comes ice and icicles. At Four Seasons, our biggest concern is what will happen when ice and snow buildup on power lines to the point that they collapse under the weight. This can leave entire neighborhoods without power for days, and in Chicago, even a few hours without heat in the home can become unbearable. It is because of this fact that there has never been a better time to consider having Four Seasons install an automatic generator in your home.

4 Reasons to Install a Generator from Four Seasons

  • Restores Power Instantly: Automatic generators are wired directly into the power supply of the home. The unit is able to sense when power is cut off from the grid and will turn on automatically. The transition is so seamless that you may not even notice the power outage!
  • Power as Much or as Little as You Want: Automatic generators can be customized to fit nearly any budget. You don’t have to power the entire home in order to purchase one of these systems. Power just the furnace and sump pump or power the entire home. It is your call, and Four Seasons will help make it as affordable as possible. (more…)

Have you ever thought that going green was simply out of your reach? Well, if you have you are not alone.
