Is your furnace blowing air without pause? If so, you’re probably feeling a bit concerned—and your Mount Sterling house most likely feels like an oven. On top of that, your utility bill will be considerably higher with your furnace constantly running.

If your furnace is producing a strange smell, you should always treat it with caution. While the cause for the odor may be benign, it could just as easily be harmful to inhale. When in doubt, always open windows to ensure ventilation, and evacuate your Winchester home. For your convenience and protection, our Gateway Heating…

It’s understandable that maintenance tasks often fall by the wayside. Many Lexington homeowners follow the mantra of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Everyone is busy and many seemingly more important priorities tend to creep up every month to consume time and money.

Even though our Gateway Heating and Cooling heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) experts are always here for you, as a Lexington homeowner, you should know at least a little something about your heating and cooling system.

This winter, you’re hoping to have a brand new furnace to keep you warm. But there are so many furnaces to choose from. You’re left wondering, which is the right one for your Winchester home?

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 Kentucky.

While an air conditioner’s efficiency is measured by its SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, an electric or gas- or oil-fired furnace’s efficiency is measured by its AFUE, or average fuel utilization efficiency. This standard measurement is given in percentages, letting you know how much of your fuel is actually used to heat your Kentucky home and how much fuel is wasted.

If your furnace seems to be producing heat inconsistently around your Mount Sterling home to you, you’re not alone. Many homes have varied conditions from room to room causing spotty heating or cooling. On cold days, this can be a nuisance. For example, you may be confined to only a few rooms in your home. Or you might have to wear a coat and blanket just to function around the house.

When you schedule your furnace clean and check regularly on an annual basis, you are preventing breakdowns. By having one of our seasoned experts inspect and clean your system, he or she can spot any impending repairs or weaknesses.
