It’s Halloween season, friends. And you know what that means! It's time to watch creepy movies, dress up as ghostly characters, and eat our kids’ trick-or-treat candy. After all, who doesn’t enjoy a little sugar rush throughout the spooky season? Do you have a sweet favorite? Because we do. Of course, our favorite candies are always “wrapped” up in HVAC and plumbing themes due to occupational hazards. Take a look. Oh, and Happy Halloween!
Which Candy Suits Your Home System Best?
To have a little fun and celebrate Halloween, we’re comparing comfort systems to candy. (Who said HVAC can’t be fun!?) Find out below if your HVAC and plumbing systems are tricking or treating you this Halloween.
Milk Duds
Are you wondering if your system is a dud? Sometimes, it can be hard to tell whether you need an HVAC replacement or a simple repair. But that’s why you have ARS. Some tell-tale signs that your system needs replacing include repeated calls for repairs, constant hot and cold spots throughout your home, a system that is over eight years old, higher-than-normal energy bills, and strange noises or smells. If you are experiencing several of these issues, call us! We will do an AC or furnace inspection and let you know if your system is a dud and needs replacing.
Snickers
Uh-oh. Do you find that your guests snicker when they use your bathroom? It could be that they’re laughing at your running toilet. But don’t fret. While a running toilet is annoying, it doesn’t usually call for an emergency plumber. Most running toilets result from a worn-out flapper (the plug at the bottom of the tank that allows water to flow into the bowl when flushed) and can be fixed with simple DIY. You can find replacement flappers at your local hardware store. Stop that toilet from running; you’ll notice those snickers disappear, too!
100 Grand
Do you feel like you’re always putting money into your HVAC system? Sign up for an HVAC maintenance plan, and you’ll help prevent breakdowns, increase your energy efficiency, and save money in the long run. (Okay, maybe not 100 grand in savings, but still…) Plus, as we head into winter, now is the perfect time to schedule a heater tune-up with the pros at ARS. Want some even better news? If you’re in the market for a new system, check out the Inflation Reduction Act to see how you may save thousands when you purchase a qualifying new energy-efficient system.
Whatchamacallit
HVAC and its terminology can be confusing, so it’s always best to leave repairs and replacements to the professionals. If you’re struggling to solve a home service issue or are confused about the terms and names of parts in your system (What is that whatchamacallit called?), you are not alone! Leave the specialized HVAC installations, plumbing repairs, and water heater service to our trained experts, who know what all the components are called!
Sour Patch Kids
Do you have a home filled with cranky, sour-faced kids? It could be their allergies acting up and making them miserable. Invest in an air purifier and turn those sour frowns into happy smiles.
Jolly Ranchers
Want to know the secret to a happy home—i.e., a jolly ranch? You need to take care of your indoor space. Annual tune-ups and indoor air quality checks are the best way to create a comfy—and jolly—home 365 days a year.
Hot Tamales
Is your heater cranking too much heat? This winter, avoid being a Hot Tamale by scheduling a furnace heating system checkup. Systems that are overcompensating may be the result of a faulty thermostat. Our pros can calibrate your thermostat and complete a furnace inspection to keep you cozy and comfy throughout winter.
Good & Plenty
At the end of a long day, you want your indoor space filled with good vibes and plenty of comfort. So, when you need home service, call our licensed HVAC techs. With our exceptional service guarantee, we can deliver true home comfort. It’s the best way to give your family that “good and plenty” feeling.
