We receive countless calls every time the temperatures drop below normal ranges, as homeowners here in Morton encounter problems with their home’s heating system.

Is your furnace blowing air without pause? If so, you’re probably feeling a bit concerned—and your Washington house most likely feels like an oven. On top of that, your utility bill will be considerably higher with your furnace constantly running. Believe it or not, this is a fairly common problem our professionals at Garber Heating…
When the temperature gets low, your energy bill gets high. That’s because you spend more time indoors during the winter. And we don’t blame you—it can get pretty cold here in Illinois.
It is an “Oh no!” moment when you approach your home’s thermostat and see its screen is blank. Is it serious? Does it mean your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioning is broken? Not necessarily. In fact, most of the time, it is something minor and can be easily fixed.
Here in Illinois, we’ve reached the season that makes you say, “Gosh, it’s so dark out. Is it really only six in the evening?” Before the days get too short, remember to check off heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) maintenance from your autumn to-do list.
One reason Illinois homeowners love heat pumps is they function as an all-in-one unit. Instead of purchasing and maintaining a separate furnace and air conditioning system, you can simply transition your heat pump from the heat setting to the cooling setting and vice versa as seasons warrant.
You probably already know about the advantages of ductless heating and cooling systems—and how they can significantly lower your Washington home’s carbon footprint while improving your indoor air quality (IAQ).
Our nearby licensed heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technicians can help zap the humidity inside your Morton home. Whether installing a whole-home dehumidifier or addressing the airflow inside your home, we’ll offer practical solutions that fit your budget and needs.
Did you accidentally stumble upon your air conditioning (AC) unit’s “winter weather” setting? Nope. You’re probably experiencing a freeze up.
Your air ducts circulate a supply of fresh and properly treated air. But since ductwork mostly hides behind walls, ceilings, and floors, many Illinois homeowners don’t take the time to monitor its condition.
