Every way a Clark County home stays warm.
Do you work on oil furnaces?
Yes. There are fewer around than there once were, but plenty are still running in the older housing here, and they are a genuinely different service call from gas: a nozzle and electrodes rather than a burner assembly, a filter and a pump on the fuel side, and soot that has to be cleaned out rather than left. They want annual service more than a gas furnace does, because a neglected oil burner sooties up and loses efficiency long before it stops working. What we do not take on is boilers or geothermal, so if your heat is hydronic you want a hydronic specialist rather than us.
Where should carbon monoxide alarms actually go?
One on every floor, and one within about fifteen feet of each sleeping area, because the whole point is waking someone up. They do not need to be at floor level; carbon monoxide mixes with air rather than sinking. Keep them a few feet clear of the furnace itself so brief startup readings do not nuisance-trip them. Replace the units on the date printed on the back, because the sensor has a service life whether or not it has ever sounded. If one goes off and then stops, treat it as real and get the furnace checked.
One room never gets warm. Is the furnace the problem?
Usually not. A furnace that satisfies the thermostat is doing what it was asked, and the room that stays cold is almost always a duct problem: a run that is too long or too small, a damper closed years ago and forgotten, a crushed flex duct in a joist bay, or a return that cannot pull enough air back for the supply to push. Adding return capacity fixes more of these houses than replacing the furnace does, and it costs a fraction of what a new system does. Ask for the airflow to be measured before anyone quotes you equipment.
Will a smart thermostat actually cut my gas bill?
Some, and less than the box claims. The saving comes from setbacks you would not have bothered with, not from the thermostat being clever. The bigger reason to care is what it tells you: run times, cycle counts and how long the house takes to recover. A furnace that used to run twelve minutes and now runs twenty-five is telling you something months before it fails. One caution for older systems, a two-stage or variable-speed furnace wired to a thermostat that cannot stage it will run on high heat permanently, which is worse than the thermostat you replaced.
