Furnace breakdowns, no cooling when outside temperatures are soaring – heating and cooling repairs often catch us unexpectedly, making HVAC repair costs quite a surprise. Many homeowners worry when calling the HVAC repair contractor because of unexpected costs – your heating and cooling contractor won’t be able to give you a price for the repairs needed until he or she inspects the system to find the source of the problem.
Recent Review: Frymire did a complete A/C and Furnace install on my property in May 2013. I had 5 companies bid the job and what sold me on them was their honesty and responsiveness, as well as a fair price. They were not the lowest, but were willing to negotiate on some unknown repair issues with my duct work, etc. The team was punctual and very professional, taking extra pains to wear protective footwear on my hardwood floors. The foreman on the job kept me up to speed about the install throughout the day. They started at 9 a.m. and were finished and out by 6pm. I recently had them return for the yearly check-up on my A/C. The tech was efficient and very professional. I would highly recommend their service.

If your furnace has a pilot light, look for the flame. Check your owner’s manual or the instructions posted inside the furnace cabinet for step-by-step lighting instructions. Usually this involves first turning the gas valve to Off and waiting a couple of minutes. Then you turn it to Pilot. Next, press and hold it down while you light the flame. Last, wait a minute or so, release it, and then turn it to On.
In 1906, Stuart W. Cramer of Charlotte was exploring ways to add moisture to the air in his textile mill. Cramer coined the term "air conditioning", using it in a patent claim he filed that year as an analogue to "water conditioning", then a well-known process for making textiles easier to process. He combined moisture with ventilation to "condition" and change the air in the factories, controlling the humidity so necessary in textile plants. Willis Carrier adopted the term and incorporated it into the name of his company.[10]
The compressor-based refrigerant systems are air-cooled, meaning they use air to exchange heat, in the same way as a car radiator or typical household air conditioner does. Such a system dehumidifies the air as it cools it. It collects water condensed from the cooled air and produces hot air which must be vented outside the cooled area; doing so transfers heat from the air in the cooled area to the outside air.
Absorption heat pumps are a kind of air-source heat pump, but they do not depend on electricity to power them. Instead, gas, solar power, or heated water is used as a main power source. An absorption pump dissolves ammonia gas in water, which gives off heat. Next, the water and ammonia mixture is depressurized to induce boiling, and the ammonia is boiled off, which absorbs heat from the outdoor air.[citation needed]
All consumer and property manager beware of this is not the old frymire anymore. they are under new ownership and with bunch rip-off tech! I am the property manager with a handyman and were unable to get the heat pump furnace relay replaced on time so I gave them another chance to do it base on good experience in previous. however, the tech used old school trick:telling me his truck dont have the relay and need to get the parts then will call me back. lone story short, we end up been charged for 290 for just a relay! and he even quoted us for a bad run capacitor for total 460!! we called them to provide a detail work invoice as usual and they never send to us so we end up to tell landlord that's how it is.. Huge mistake I ever made..don't trust them at all!!
