Heat pump systems are extremely efficient, and they have a long lifespan. While they are not cheap, they are a great investment. While most heat and air conditioning systems can last up to twenty-five years, some problems can arise. Certain situations can shorten the life of your HVAC system. That is why Cascade Energy Services offers heat pump maintenance in Sammamish. We can help ensure your heat and air is working the way it should when you need it.

Heat Pump System Service to Keep Things Going

Some of the things that can cause your mini-split system to wear out are minor; others are more serious. Here are things to look for:

• Poor maintenance – Your HVAC system will wear out faster without proper maintenance.
• Corrosion – It happens more often in coastal areas.
• Defective parts – While not something you can prevent, regular servicing can catch these problems early.
• Installed incorrectly – Not something you need to worry about with Cascade Energy Services.
• High Usage – Using it heavily or running a unit that is too small for your home can cause burnout.
• Incorrect usage – Running a unit with the doors and windows open. Yes, it does happen.

Keeping your air conditioner in excellent shape is vital if you want someplace cool to relax over the summer. If your air conditioning has problems, it is essential to catch them early. At Cascade Energy Services, we provide summer HVAC tune-up and preventative maintenance in Monroe that can give you peace of mind. Also, we would like to share with you some signs that your AC may be having trouble:

Poor Air Flow

You should be able to feel air freely flowing from the AC vents. If it has slowed down, or nothing is coming out, it needs to be serviced. Without the proper airflow, the AC cannot cool off the home. You can end up burning out the motor if you continue to run it. If the air is warm coming out of the AC, that is an issue too.

Bad Odors

If nasty smells are coming from the unit, it can either be an electrical issue or mold. One is a fire hazard and the other a health hazard. Either way, you need to call in a pro to service your AC.

Strange Noises

If the outside unit clicks when running or won’t turn on and clicks, you need help. The condensate drain should be free-flowing, and you should not hear gurgling sounds. Inside units should not squeal, hiss, or make metal-on-metal sounds.

Regular Service Keeps You Cool All Summer

High utility bills and high humidity bills are other signs that your AC may not be working well. Regular service ensures your AC is operating the way it should. Minor problems can be repaired before they result in something worse. For professional summer HVAC tune-up and preventative maintenance in Monroe, give Cascade Energy Services a call at (425) 243-0371. We can make sure you are cool and comfortable this summer.

Summer is here with warm weather, sunshine, and all the fun activities that come with the season. You have your AC running instead of the heat. The last thing you want to do is be stuck without air conditioning, especially on a hot day. Now is the perfect time to have your heat pump serviced to make sure everything is ready to go when you need it. Cascade Energy Services can handle your summer heat pump tune-up and preventative maintenance in Mountlake Terrace.

Save Money with Routine Maintenance

Anything lasts longer when you take care of it, and that includes your heat pump system. When well cared for, heat pumps can last longer than the typical fifteen-year life span. When you have your heat pump serviced annually, you can make sure you get the most out of it. Here are some other things you can do to ensure everything is operating at peak performance:

• Do not let it run continually. Instead, make sure the heat pump is set to auto. This way, it only runs as needed.
• Schedule your tune-ups, and do not miss your service appointments.
• Change air filters regularly. At a minimum, every two to three months.

Summer means days at the beach, picnics, and long hours in the sun. That is why it is important to have a cool place to retreat to when you have had enough of the heat. You want your home to be cool and comfortable, a place to recharge before heading back out into the heat. At Cascade Energy Services, we provide summer air conditioning tune-up and preventative maintenance in Mill Creek. We can help ensure your AC is running the way it should.

Do I Really Need an Annual AC Tune-Up?

Yes, and no. Your air conditioner may do just fine without a check-up this year, but there are benefits to scheduling one. Hidden problems may go unnoticed if you skip your maintenance check. If you are contemplating skipping the tune-up this year, consider these benefits:

• Having an AC tune-up done at the beginning of summer guarantees it works well during the hottest time of the season.
• Getting it serviced can be cheaper than having serious repairs done later because of small missed problems.
• If you do not take proper care of your AC unit, you may have problems with the warranty if something does go wrong.
• Air conditioner units last a lot longer when they are maintained and serviced regularly.
• Raising efficiency means lower cooling costs. When your AC is working at peak efficiency, it does its job better.

Take Care of Your Water Heater

While nothing lasts forever, there are things you can do to ensure your water heater works efficiently and lasts a long time. Here are some things that can help:

• Set your tank’s thermostat at a moderate heat
• Insulate your heat
• Flush your tank regularly
• Have it serviced and inspected annually

The ideal temperature is 120 degrees. For every ten degrees you lower the temperature, you can save up to 5% on energy.

Have Your Water Heater Serviced

Who doesn’t love being comfortable in their home? At Cascade Energy Services, we know we sure do! One of the ways you can do that is with air conditioning.

Great Reasons to Have a Quality HVAC System Installed

If you are in doubt as to whether or not to have an AC installed, here are some great reasons:

• Fewer Asthma Attacks – A/C reduces humidity in the home, which reduces allergies. It would help if you changed the filters regularly to reduce allergens.
• Fewer Bugs & Parasites – Air conditioning can help keep the bugs down, such as fleas.
• Sleep Better – Being cooler always helps you sleep better.
• Exercise in a Cool Area – If you are an exercise buff, you can exercise where it is cool.
• Improves Work Performance – If you work from home, stale, muggy air can slow you down. A good AC unit can change all that.
• Stay Hydrated – Lower temps mean less sweating and therefore less dehydration.
• Quieter Home – When your windows and doors are shut, your home is much quieter.

If you are not sure what model would work best for you, Cascade Energy Services can help. When we come out, we take measurements of your home to make sure you get the proper size system.

At Cascade Energy Services, we know there are many advantages to our customers upgrading to a tankless water heater. We know there are many benefits to having one installed and would like to pass on that information to our clients. Cascade Energy Services provides tankless water heater repair, service, and installation in Woodinville that you can trust.

Much More Energy Efficient Than a Traditional Water Heater

Everyone wants to save on their bills, especially with today’s rising prices. Because they are efficient, tankless water heaters can significantly cut your monthly utility bills. They are up to 34% more efficient in smaller homes than traditional water heaters. You can save hundreds of dollars annually when you switch to a tankless system.

Longer Life Span

If you need to replace your current heater, one of the benefits of a tankless water heater is an extended life. Traditional water heaters last about 10 – 15 years. You can expect twice that with a tankless water heater.

Hot Water When You Want It – No More Waiting

The whole point of a water heater is to have hot water for bathing, washing, cooking, and more. In a traditional water heater, once the tank is empty, it has to fill back up and heat again. Tankless water heaters heat the water as you need it. No more waiting for the water to heat up, especially when rotating through showers.

Space Saver

While this may not be a selling point for everyone, it can be a plus if you live in a small place. The less space your water heater takes up, the more room you have for other things.

If you need tankless water heater repair, service, and installation in Woodinville, contact Cascade Energy Services at (425) 243-0371.

Spring weather brings with it allergy season. Sneezing, coughing, itching eyes, and other irritating symptoms. Many people ask whether air conditioning can help with allergies. Air conditioners can help control humidity in the home and filter air. Your HVAC system can help with allergies if it is properly serviced and maintained. That is why Cascade Energy Services provides air conditioning maintenance, service, repair, and installation in Snohomish County.

How Air Conditioners Help with Allergies

Things like dust or pet dander are present in your home year-round. An HVAC system with the proper filters can greatly improve your indoor air quality. The filters filter out things like:

• Pollen
• Pet dander
• Dust mites
• Other irritant air particles

When these things are filtered out, they do not get to your lungs. Humidity control is also important to indoor air quality, and an air conditioner helps with that. When there are high moisture levels in the air, mildew, bacteria, and mold can grow. All of which can cause health problems and, for some people, can be deadly. The key to avoiding these problems is the correct humidity ratio.

When Your HVAC System Doesn’t Help

If your air conditioner isn’t properly maintained, the air quality in your home can actually be impacted negatively. This is means your allergies will get worse. If you do not change the filters, often the trapped particles will build up. When that happens, the only place they have to go is right back into your home.

To keep your home allergen-free, call Cascade Energy Services for air conditioning maintenance, service, repair, and installation in Snohomish County. You can reach us at (425) 243-0371.

If your water heater is due to be replaced soon, or you are building and need to have one installed, you might want to think about getting a tankless model. Converting your current water heater system to a tankless system has many benefits. Cascade Energy Services provides tankless water heater repair and installation in Lynnwood. We have been servicing our community for years and pride ourselves on our customer service.

Tankless vs. Traditional – Which Water Heater is For You?

In a traditional water heater, the water is constantly heating. With a tankless water heater, only the amount you need gets heated when you need it. This translates into great savings. You use up to 34% less energy to heat your water, and your energy bill is less, which is better for the environment and your wallet. When you convert to a tankless unit, you can save hundreds annually on your energy bill.

Longer Life Span Than a Traditional Model

Another benefit of converting to a tankless water heater is it lasts 5 to 10 years longer than a typical water heater. If you maintain your system well with regular maintenance from Cascade Energy Services, your tankless system can last 20 years or even more. Combine that with the savings annually; a tankless water heater system is an excellent choice.

Other Great Benefits

Another benefit of a tankless unit is they are space savers. This makes them a great option for apartments and small areas where space is at a premium. Traditional tanks should be serviced yearly, but a tankless system can go several years without servicing.

Cascade Energy Services provides all your needs for tankless water heater repair & installation service in Lynnwood. Contact us for more information at (425) 243-0371.

A heat pump system is not a cheap investment. But they are very efficient and have a long lifespan. Most HVAC systems last 15 to 25 years, but some things can shorten that time. Cascade Energy Services provides spring heat pump tune-up and preventative maintenance in Marysville to ensure your mini-split heat pump system operates well for years.

Taking Care of Your Heat Pump System

Here are some issues that can negatively impact your mini-split system and cause it to wear out before its time:

• Defective parts – regular inspections can catch these
• Ignore maintenance – with poor maintenance, your HVAC system wears out faster.
• Improper size unit for your home
• Improperly installed – never a problem with CES
• Using it the wrong way – having it run with windows or doors open
• Extremely high usage
• Corrosive areas – salty, coastal areas

Inadequate maintenance and oversizing are two main reasons problems occur with mini-split heat pump systems. The components wear out when you do not maintain your system regularly. Oversizing can cause compressor failure or blower motor damage due to on-and-off cycling.

Preventative Maintenance Can Help

If you schedule regular maintenance, minor problems can be addressed before they become more serious and costly. Heat pump systems last longer than other HVAC systems. They are space savers and very efficient. One of the best times to have your HVAC system serviced is spring.
