As the Amarillo weather turns colder, you may find that your heater is not up to par with the extreme winter cold of the Texas Panhandle. There are several signs that your heater may need to be repaired or replaced. 

Common Signs Include:

Odor- This may present as a burning smell 

Unusual noise- You might notice a screeching, banging or grinding sound depending upon the underlying issue. This could be due to some broken internal component or when a certain part is loose and detached. 

Increased energy bill- Leakages in the heating system and clogged filters and vents can cause your energy cost to go up. If you're noticing an increase in your bill, you may have a leak or problem with your unit.

Compressor short cycling or constantly running- Short cycling occurs when the system gets over heated and suddenly stops. It is clear sign that you need heating and air conditioning repair. The opposite of this happens when the compressor is running constantly. 

Uneven distribution of heat- Are you noticing that some areas are remaining cold while the rest of the home is heating. This could be an insulation issue, but if not, you may have a problem with your heater functionality. 

Dust buildup in the filter- Replacing your filter consistently is important in the Texas Panhandle wind. But if you're replacing often and still noticing large amounts of dust build up, you may have a different problem. 

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, give us a call today for an HVAC analysis.  

The system life expectancy of an HVAC system averages between 15-25 years depending on the unit. The harsh heat and bitter cold Amarillo weather can put a strain on your HVAC system.

When you trust the upkeep of your system to Mahanay's Heating and Cooling, your HVAC system will last longer, resist wear and tear, succumb to far fewer repair needs, perform at maximum capacity, cost less to operate, provide superior cooling and create a cleaner, healthier indoor environment.

We recommend scheduling seasonal maintenance at least twice a year to ensure that your HVAC is running smoothly and will keep your family comfortable for the upcoming season. 

A heat pump is part of a heating and cooling system and is installed outside of your home. Like an air conditioner, it can cool your home, but it’s also capable of providing heat. In cooler months, a heat pump pulls heat from the cold outdoor air and transfers it indoors, and in warmer months, it pulls heat out of indoor air to cool your home.

Gas furnaces were designed to quickly and efficiently warm the air in the home. If you have a gas furnace and are noticing that it isn’t warming your home as it should or isn’t coming on, then there may be a problem with one of its components. The experts at Mahanay's heating and cooling will provide swift and thorough gas furnace and HVAC repairs, ensuring that your home stays at the perfect temperature.

Our variable speed motors help homeowners evenly cool and heat every corner of your home with cleaner, more comfortable air. Every HVAC air handling unit (AHU) can be paired with an air conditioner or heat pump to efficiently circulate cool or warm air throughout your house during every season.

Mini-splits are heating and cooling systems that allow you to control the temperatures in individual rooms or spaces.

Mini-split systems have two main components -- an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. This makes them a great candidate for heating and cooling spaces where your normal HVAC system is not as effective, or where duct work is not easily accessible. 

Flex ductwork is a long ductwork tube that fits more flexibly into awkward home spaces than rigid ductwork. Many HVAC contractors will combine rigid and flex ductwork to create a duct network that fits within the natural space that the home provides.

A home HVAC inspection is an in depth evaluation of all the working parts of your home's cooling and heating systems. A certified HVAC technician inspects the HVAC system to determine the system's age, evaluates the cleanliness of each component, checks the function and condition of each system component, and inspects the safety mechanisms.
