Simonsen Heating and Cooling - Erie's Qualified HVAC Services

High energy bills in Erie are often due to inefficient heating systems, especially older boilers working overtime during our long winters. We can help by performing a thorough efficiency assessment, cleaning and tuning your system, sealing ductwork, and recommending upgrades like programmable thermostats or high-efficiency equipment to reduce fuel consumption and lower your monthly costs.

First, check that your thermostat is set to 'heat' and the temperature is above the current room reading. Ensure the circuit breaker for the boiler is on and the system's power switch is flipped. Also, verify the pilot light (if you have one) is lit and that the water pressure gauge reads between 12-15 psi. If these basics are correct and the issue persists, it's time to call us for expert, safe diagnosis and repair to get your heat back on.

For reliable performance through Erie's winters, we recommend an annual boiler tune-up, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. This service includes cleaning critical components, checking for leaks or corrosion, testing safety controls, and ensuring optimal efficiency. Regular maintenance is the best way to prevent mid-winter breakdowns, extend your system's lifespan, and maintain its efficiency to keep your energy bills manageable.
