Did one of our techs mention a few months ago that your furnace is getting up there in age and you may want to start thinking about an upgrade? Well..winter has a way of sneaking up on us!

Now’s a great time to schedule a maintenance check and make sure your furnace is ready to go before the cold arrives. And remember, 0% financing for 60 months is available on qualifying purchases of $500 or more..including service work and repairs. It’s not just for new equipment!

Did you know we work on industrial HVAC systems, too?

One of our techs has been working through an issue with several compressors at a business in Carrollton. Jobs like this are a great reminder of just how much knowledge and experience our team brings to the field. From residential systems to commercial and industrial equipment, our techs truly are well rounded in their knowledge and know how to troubleshoot systems of all kinds.

Just another reason we’re proud of the team we have out in the field every day!

‼️ IN THE FIELD FRIDAY ‼️

Wednesday we talked about a TXV and how important this little component is to the overall operation of an HVAC system.

Today, one of our techs was out in the field reclaiming refrigerant so he could replace a TXV that had failed. Once the refrigerant is safely reclaimed, the failed valve can be replaced and the system can get back to doing what it’s supposed to do.

Just another day in the field..and a good reminder that sometimes the problem is with a small part that plays a big role!

Have a great Friday and a safe weekend from all of us at Botts & Tye!

We found this one out in the field today..a failed TXV (thermal expansion valve) on an indoor coil.

The TXV is a crucial part of the system, regulating the flow into the indoor coil and helping the system maintain proper cooling. When this one failed and wouldn’t open, the refrigerant became trapped, causing the valve to freeze up and stopping the coil from doing its job properly.

It’s a good reminder that when an HVAC system isn’t cooling properly, the problem isn’t always something you can see from the outside. Sometimes it takes a little digging (and the right tools) to find what’s really going on! That’s where our techs come in to diagnose the problem, not just treat the symptom.

Geothermal systems might not be something you see every day, but they’re an incredibly efficient way to heat and cool a home by using the relatively stable temperature of the ground instead of relying solely on outdoor air. Today, we were checking the amp draw on the water circulating valve of a geothermal unit. Monitoring amp draw is one way our technicians can make sure components are operating as they should and catch potential problems before they turn into a bigger and more expensive repair.

From traditional heating and cooling systems to geothermal, our team has the knowledge and experience to diagnose, maintain, and repair your system! Give us a call if you need us!

‼️ Must Know Monday ‼️

Summer brings more than just hot temperatures..it also brings dry dust, dirt, cottonwood, and everything else floating around in the air, and your outdoor A/C coil takes the brunt of it.

And if you live on a gravel road, that dust can make an even bigger impact on your outdoor unit. This photo is from a home we hadn’t serviced in about a year that we visited today. The homeowner mentioned their air had been running almost nonstop..which isn’t necessarily unusual on these hot Missouri days. But when we took a look at the outdoor unit, we could see exactly why it was working so hard.

When that outdoor coil gets packed with dirt and debris, it can’t release heat like it should. That means your system has to work harder, run longer, and can put unnecessary strain on the equipment. Regular maintenance and keeping that outdoor coil clean can make a BIG difference.

If your A/C has been running and running lately, it may be worth taking a closer look at what’s happening outside!

‼️ IN THE FIELD FRIDAY ‼️

We spent the day out and about doing what we do best..installs, repairs, and maintenance to help get everyone ready for the heat snap that may be headed our way!

And while we were out, we came across this filter and just had to share it. Friendly reminder: your HVAC filter really does matter!

But tonight isn’t just about HVAC..it’s FOOTBALL SEASON! For many of the towns we proudly serve, including right here in Chillicothe, tonight marks the start of Friday night lights. So from our family to yours, GO HORNETS! And good luck to ALL of our area teams!

Have a safe Friday night and a great weekend!

Sometimes an HVAC call is about more than just keeping your home comfortable. A customer recently called us because their electric bill was extremely high and just wasn’t adding up. They wanted us to do some investigating..and we’re glad they did.

While checking things over, we found burnt wiring at the electric heat assembly. This is a great reminder that our job goes beyond the basics. We’re not just here to fix what’s obvious..we’re here to investigate, find the why behind the problem, and make sure your system is operating safely and properly.

If something doesn’t seem right with your HVAC system, trust your gut and give us a call. Sometimes the little signs can point to a much bigger problem! We’re happy to help!
