With the hot months upon us, many of us forget how important it can be to have your HVAC system serviced regularly to ensure you are getting the best performance from your system. Regular HVAC maintenance can help improve the efficiency of your system, extend the lifespan, and reduce energy costs on your bill. Your LOCAL Fuquay-Varina HVAC experts at B&J Heating and Air Services are ready to help keep you cool this Summer season! Providing excellent Customer Service for over 20 years!

 

Being a homeowner is one of the most rewarding feelings however, at times being a homeowner can be slightly tricky. Maintaining your home as a whole is top priority and though you may be top of your game regarding this, there will almost always be a situation where you need an experienced professional. How do you know when it’s time to call a licensed professional? Here are some of the top signs your HVAC needs servicing

 

  • Your system is not cooling your home effectively or efficiently.
  • Your system is making unusual noises (high pitched squealing, banging, clicking, buzzing, hissing, rattling, or other unusually loud sounds).
  • Your system is leaking water (or some other substance).
  • Your system is tripping the circuit breaker

     

You can easily set up an appointment with B&J Heating and Air Services by filling out their online contact form, calling their one of TWO lines to speak with someone about getting on schedule, or send them an over an email and they will reach out to you. Be sure you have all of your information regarding your HVAC system ready and available for use (system brand, year, warranty if applicable) for a more speedy scheduling!

 

“I personally can say that B&J Heating and Air Services exceeded by expectations. I have been experiencing issues with cooling my home the past couple of summers however this summer it was clear I needed a professional to pinpoint the issues. I had one business come out assess the problem, thinking it was a simple fix I followed instructions and still, NO cold air coming from my vents. A trusted source mentioned I need to reach out to B&J Heating & Air to help me and sure enough, Ben came out about 2 hours after our first call and was able to figure the problem and offered solutions and would be back that following Monday (SLOW freon leak causing NO cold air and a sky rocketing bill). Once the weekend passed Ben was back with a fix to my problem and I had my unit back up and running in no time and all at a great price! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BEN AND HIS TEAM AT B&J Heating and Air.”

-Haylee Kinlaw (Front Porch Realty                                                                         Marketing Manager)
