Keep Warm this Winter with Insulation from Metro Energy Savers in Arlington
February 16, 2012 | 
Author This winter, as the temperatures reach lows, there are many ways in which it is important to keep your residence warm. Aside from the standard maintenance and repair of your furnace or boiler unit, it is critical to make sure your home boasts the proper insulation in order to maintain a comfortable temperature this time of year. Our Arlington TX heating technicians at Metro Energy Savers can make sure your family is completely comfortable this winter.
Insulation is one of the most important components in keeping your home warm all winter long. Heat can escape through cracks or open spaces in windows and other openings, allowing cool air to enter your home as your warm air makes its way out. This absence of warm air can make your heating system work overtime to warm up your residence, forcing you to pay sky-high utility bills due to the added pressure placed on your system. Your system will be running non-stop to make up for this escaping air, an added expense no homeowner wants to have to deal with. To put a stop to the cold drafts you may feel in your home, the heating technicians at Metro Energy Savers are here to help.
For all your heating needs this winter, Metro Energy Savers in Arlington is the company to count on. For additional information regarding insulation, give us a call at 817-572-8700 or contact us online today.

Heat Pump Installation and Maintenance from Metro Energy Savers in Arlington, TX
As we find ourselves in the midst of the winter season here in Texas, ensuring your home is properly prepared for the winter weather is of utmost importance. Keeping you and your family warm all winter long is on the mind of every homeowner, but not everyone knows the importance that heat pumps play in this as well. While minds tend to wander towards furnaces and boilers, heat pumps are equally important in the process of heating your home. Luckily, our Arlington TX heating technicians at Metro Energy Savers can provide essential maintenance and repair services for your heat pump today.
In winter, your heat pump works by pulling the outside air into the home to provide a warming effect. There are different types of heat pumps, including air-source, absorption, and ground-source, all three of which are serviced by our heating experts. In warm climates like Texas, air-source heat pumps are extremely common, as they simply move heat from the outside to the inside, rather than having to spend more energy by converting it from a fuel. No matter what type of heat pump you have, our heating experts can make sure it is in proper working order and providing your home the most energy at the most affordable prices. Even if you are considering replacing your current system and installing a new heat pump for your home, we can do that as well, making us your full-service heat pump provider in the area.
For all your heating needs in Arlington and the surrounding area, Metro Energy Savers is the company to count on. For additional information regarding heat pump maintenance in your area, give us a call at 817-572-8700 or contact us online today.

Dallas TX Furnace Repair
Regular maintenance of your heating system can keep your furnace running efficiently throughout the winter months and often save you from needing furnace repair. However, keeping your heating system perfect is not easy. Your Dallas heat pump experts at Metro Energy Savers Air Conditioning & Heating are available to help any time.
Most furnace repairs and upkeep is best left to an expert. However, there are some quick tips for making sure your furnace stays healthy. Simple cleaning of your furnace can often increase fuel efficiency and keep your furnace from overheating. Dirt and dust are major contributors to wasted energy and the overworking of your heating system. Cleaning the furnace filter should be the first step. Replace your furnace filter at the beginning of the heating season and then throughout every 4-6 weeks. Most furnaces in the southwest have removable disposable furnace filters and you should always follow the directions when changing them out.
If you have a gas furnace, checking the pilot light controls or the gas valves for leaks is important. The pilot light can go out in drafty houses as well as the opening becoming clogged. Pilot lights that won’t stay lit should be looked at by a professional as there may be a problem with the thermocouple. If you find and smell a gas leak, especially with propane powered units, open all windows and doors in the immediate area and get out of the house to call the gas company or the fire department to report a leak. Stay out of the house until the professionals say it is ok to come back inside.
Electrical furnace repair is often less expensive over the lifespan of the furnace, however, the operating cost can often be higher. Your Dallas TX heating system professionals can help get your system running efficiently in no time. Cleaning and adjusting your electric furnace at the beginning of each heating season will prove beneficial. Careful examination of fuses, breakers, filter, and blower motor will give you an idea what furnace repairs you will need to have done on your system before entering the winter months.

HVAC Tips to Prevent Allergies
With the Dallas-Fort Worth area’s crazy weather conditions and high allergen content, there have been many people seen sniffling, sneezing and coughing. It is allergy season, and many people are finding ways to steer clear of pollen, hay fever, mold, dust mites, pet dander and other common allergens.
From an HVAC perspective, here are a few tips to keep allergies at bay:
- Keep your ducts clean: Replace your furnace filters, and clean your ventilation ducts regularly. Some experts say a filter should be replaced once a month.
- Keep the clutter low: Dust mites accumulate where there’s plenty of clutter. It offers a surface area for dust. Keep the excess papers and trash to a minimum. If you have dust mites, wash all clothing and bed linens in hot water, and clean your carpets with a filtrated vacuum.
- Eliminate moisture: If mold is your nemesis, use a dehumidifier around the home to help battle bold and keep the indoor air dry. When you shower, use the exhaust fan before, during and after.
- Keep an eye on pets: Pet dander can be tough, particularly if you have small children who love their dog or cat. If your animals are indoors during the winter, do your best to keep them off your furniture and away from where you sleep. Also, wash your hands frequently.
Don’t let allergies prevent you from enjoying your day. Let our Arlington TX heating and air conditioning experts help you in any other HVAC maintenance tips that will keep you as allergy-free as possible. Call our Arlington heating company today, or contact us online for information.

Time for Spring AC Inspections
The spring season is here, and there’s no better time for you to get your air conditioner ready for what is expected to be a warm spring and hot summer. Let our Arlington TX HVAC technicians assist you with a first-rate air conditioning inspection to ensure that your unit will keep you cool.
An inspection should be done once a year. Keep in mind that with inspections, maintenance work is not performed. A contractor will monitor and examine an air conditioning system and then provide feedback on its condition. From there, the feedback will determine whether or not tune-up or repair service will be needed.
Inspection services usually are cheaper than actual tune-up or repair services. While many feel inspections are overrated, addressing the minor issues definitely can save you money down the road on what could be a huge repair job – which would result in a huge repair bill.
The Arlington TX cooling specialists at Metro Energy Savers are committed to your comfort and safety, and we will make sure that your cooling system is running at peak performance. Let us offer one of our first-rate inspections for your residential property.
Give our Arlington HVAC company a call today, or contact us online for more information.
