There are some common signs that a furnace is having problems. Clogged or dirty air filters can cause reduced airflow. This will eventually lead to damage to the limit switch, which controls the fan. Water vapor, carbon monoxide and sulfur that are emitted from the furnace will buildup rust and corrode the metal parts of the heating system over time. The heat exchanger is expanding and contracting while the furnace is heating and cooling the air in your home but that could crack over time. A faulty electrical ignition or pilot light could the furnace to fail due to drafts, clogs or a malfunction. The furnace may not be producing enough heat. If the furnace is continuously running or shutting off intermittently could mean the furnace is having problems. An unusually noisy furnace could indicate that there is a mechanical problem, clogged burner or airflow issue. Most furnaces will last around 10 to 20 years.

We just installed two brand-new, Bryant furnaces in Beachwood. Having a reliable, energy efficient furnace is crucial during the winter season in Northeast Ohio. Verne & Ellsworth Hann is a reputable Cleveland heating company and we can help you with finding the right furnace to fit your home. Countless households in the Greater Cleveland area depend on a central heating system.

Central heating systems produce warm air in one central area and distribute it throughout your home. A number of central heating systems are forced air systems. A forced air system sends air through ductwork for distribution. Furnaces are powered by many different sources such as electricity, solar or geothermal, but most often they are powered bu natural gas. Radiant systems, on the other hand, create heat from sources like boilers and deliver it through radiators throughout the home.

Having the most energy efficient system ever built won’t matter much if it’s not maintained. Lack of maintenance is the number one killer of HVAC systems. Before each heating season, we recommend getting your system checked. Our dedicated team of heating experts have fixed furnace problems large and small throughout the Greater Cleveland area for decades.

We recently installed a Fujitsu, ductless mini-split system in a Shaker Heights home. A mini-split is a good alternate heating and cooling system to a furnace and air conditioner. If you are looking for a cost effective and energy efficient way to heat and cool any space, a mini-split is something Verne & Ellsworth Hann would recommend.

This Fujitsu ductless system will lose less cooling and will save energy which in turn will save you money. The system also has Fujitsu’s whisper technology which allow a peaceful environment in your home. The system can be controlled via remote access. Each room’s temperature can be customized which will prevent wasted energy for unoccupied rooms.

Mini-split systems have two main components, an outdoor condenser and an indoor air-handler. Mini-split heat pumps are great for heating the entire home as well as heating specific rooms, especially if the space does not have any ductwork. Mini-splits are more energy efficient than window-mounted air conditioners and do not require complex and expensive ductwork.

If you are looking to replace your heating and cooling system, give us a call and we would be happy to schedule a consultation. Verne & Ellsworth Hann is a 5 generation company located in Cleveland Heights. We are the only Hann family owned HVAC and plumbing company in Cleveland.

Many customers who call for service are unsure of the type of heating system in their home.  Several homeowners think all heating systems are furnaces, but that is not the case.  So, what is the difference between a furnace and a boiler?  Which heating system do you have in your home?

A furnace heats air that is distributed throughout the house via a blower motor and the home’s duct system.  A boiler uses hot water to heat your home.  Hot water boilers distribute heat through small hot water pipes using a pump to heat baseboards, cast iron radiators, or radiant flooring systems.  A steam boiler distributes steam through a network of pipes to heat the radiators in the home.

A simple rule of thumb is that a furnace blows warm air while a boiler heats using water and is distributed with radiators or baseboards.

Verne & Ellsworth Hann has been servicing and installing furnaces and boilers for over 64 years.  Our company specializes in steam and hot water boilers which heat many of the historic homes in Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights and the surrounding area.
