While the lifespan of a new AC unit varies based on make and model, most will last between 10 and 15 years. Some systems not subject to heavy, constant use can last over 20 years if properly maintained. That doesn’t mean, however, that you should wait for it to break. Old units are often inefficient and expensive to repair. Being proactive about AC replacement is a great way to save money on your utility bills.

Before contacting Jake's for furnace repair in the Greenfield area, go through the basics. Make sure you don’t have a dead thermostat or a tripped breaker. Then, put in a new air filter and make sure you have the system set correctly. If none of these things are to blame, reach out to us for a furnace diagnostics check.

You'll want to start by finding out when your unit was produced. There's usually a visible production plate on the machine—the placement of it varies by brand and model. Once you have that, look up the manufacturer's warranty and see if yours falls within eligible dates. Note that some HVAC companies offer their own no-lemon and installation guarantees that go beyond what the factory offers.

The average water heater should last between 8 and 12 years. Note that this applies to gas water heaters; electric ones can last a little longer. However, the signs that a new water heater is needed don’t relate to fuel source. These include:

• Dark or rusty water
• No hot water
• Flooding and dampness around your water heater

The flapper—a rubber or plastic valve at the base of your toilet tank—is usually responsible for a running toilet. To see if this is the issue, take off the tank lid and adjust the float arm. The water should stop approximately an inch below the overflow pipe. If the refill water doesn’t reach this level, you need a new flapper.

To try and save money, many homeowners try to do their own plumbing work. More often than not, however, this just leads to bigger and costlier problems. So, if you need plumbing service in Greenfield, call us first.
