A Good Repair Can Be Cheaper Than a Replacement – And Last Years!
Be the first to commentLet’s face it – buying a central air conditioner, furnace or heat pump is a major financial decision. They are considered high-priced appliances, and you want your system to work as long as it’s economically feasible. It’s a breakeven situation. When it costs more to replace a system than it does to invest in a single repair, it’s often cheaper in the long run to repair.
A good repair like you get with West Coast Appliance Repair in LA County can restore your system to almost new condition. It can also upgrade an older system so you get the advantages of new technology and economies. The result of a good repair can be a system that operates almost like new and lasts for many more years.
How do you determine if you should repair or replace? The best approach in LA County is to contact West Coast Appliance Repair and let them evaluate your current system. Even if it’s still working and you don’t think it needs repairing, expert technicians can look for ways to increase operational efficiency to reduce power costs. Of course, if your cooling or heating system is not working properly, repair estimates will be prepared.
With the cost of a repair in hand you can compare the repair amount to the cost of replacing the system. Cooling and heating system repair will include labor and materials. The cost of a air conditioner or furnace replacement should include labor and system cost also to be comparable.
The repair versus replacement calculation takes several factors into account. You must calculate how much it will probably cost to keep the current unit running for the same length of time a new unit would last. A new unit can be expected to last 15 years or more. You must also calculate your current utility costs and the savings you would realize if your old system had newer parts. You compare utility costs and maintenance or repair expenses of the old system to the investment cost and utility expense of the new system.
When you complete this calculation, the results are often surprising. Often it makes better sense to upgrade your current heating and cooling system even if replacing major parts like the compressor. When you invest in a fuel efficient upgrade, your system begins a new “life”. So instead of $15,000 for a new system, you spend $4,000 and get the same amount of additional system usage.
In LA County, West Coast Chief Repair can help you determine if a good repair will save you money over the long term. Couple good repair with regular maintenance and your current system can give you almost new service again in many cases. Central air conditioners and furnaces are heavy duty appliances meant to last for many years. Companies like Trane, Bryant and American Standard build their units with the intent of providing get long-term dependable service.
Don’t be discouraged if your heating or cooling systems are not working properly. Visit www.chiefappliance.com and let the experts help save you money!
Why is HVAC so important?
Be the first to commentHaving a fully functional HVAC system in your home is very important, but many people don’t even know what the letters stand for. HVAC is an acronym for heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and cooling – in other words, climate control. 
Having an HVAC system not only conserves energy, but also saves you money on your heating bills. Such a system also ensures clean, healthy air circulates in your home, which is particularly important not only for families, but also for people who are ill or infirmed. This is why hospitals have HVAC systems to ensure that the air quality inside is the best possible for patients.
Unfortunately, most homeowners don’t even consider their HVAC system until it needs repairs. By that time, significant dust will have collected that interferes with its efficiency. Homeowners should dust their system every couple of months and do a good cleaning with a damp rag or non-toxic cleaner two times each year.
If you don’t feel you have enough knowledge of the HVAC system, then hire a professional technician. This may cost money, but it will lower your heating bills in winter and your cooling bills in summer. If your HVAC unit is in very bad shape, no longer functions efficiently or is in need of too much repair, a technician will advise you to replace it with a new one. Although this cost may initially set you back, keep in mind the importance of your family’s health, and the potential cost of doctor and hospital bills. An HVAC system consists of a vacuum tank, hoses, vacuum distributor, check valves and servos to move vent flaps.
The system was invented during the industrial revolution to improve air quality for workers. Air is simultaneously sent into rooms and removed by this system to be filtered before it is sent out again taking into account heating or cooling, ventilation and air-conditioning. Most large office buildings and sky scrapers have an HVAC system to ensure clean and fresh air. This type of system is also vital for aquariums where the temperature and humidity must be rigorously controlled. HVAC technicians are always being educated on new HVAC systems as research is ongoing. The industry is regulated by HVAC manufacturers, as well as a number of outside agencies to ensure their efficiency. One of those agencies has set international standards that cover

What About Bryant for Your Business Needs?
Be the first to commentIt’s not easy to gain a reputation for producing quality products. Once a company gets such a reputation, customers often raise the bar even higher. That means a company must work even harder to maintain their reputation and meet customer expectations. Businesses and developers need reliable quality in heating and air conditioning for several reasons. 
First, the investment in a commercial heating and cooling unit is sizable and the last thing a business wants is to waste money on a unit that’s unreliable. Also, businesses and real estate developments don’t want to have to deal with air and heating problems constantly due to customer and time considerations. In addition, commercial heating and air products must be able to withstand the heavy usage they get day-in and day-out.
A good example is in LA County where a warm climate can place extra demands on an air conditioning unit. People constantly opening doors in a business means the air unit must work efficiently and be able to keep rooms cooled despite high outdoor temperatures.
Bryant commercial heating and cooling systems are designed to withstand the extra stresses of commercial usage. The company began in 1904 and since then has been a leader, not a follower, in efficient unit designs and operational capacities. The company adheres to the highest of performance standards and has established a commercial product line to fit business needs. There are roof mounts, gas and electric units, heat pumps, and cooling units to name a few.
Bryant subjects its systems to a thorough testing process. Each unit is tested before it ever leaves the factory. Units are made for commercial buildings and apartment complexes. You can find indoor units and packaged units for outdoor installation. Outdoor units are specially built with safety in mind also. They are enclosed so no debris can accidentally get inside the unit. Compressors carry a 5/10 year warranty and sit inside heavy duty cabinets.
The energy efficient operation of the Bryant commercial heating and air conditioning units keeps operating costs low. When you need Bryant maintenance, it’s good to know the Bryant parts and service insure those costs stay low by keeping the unit operating at peak performance levels. It’s easy to find Bryant service in LA County too – at West Coast Chief Repair.
West Coast Chief Repair only employs professional technicians who can quickly assess a problem and repair your unit when necessary.

Is Your Heater/Furnace Acting Up?
4 commentsYou will most likely know if your heater/furnace has a problem, but here are a few warning signs:
-
You aren’t getting any heat.
-
You suffer from headaches, dizziness and weakness.
-
Other pollutants in the air from natural gas furnaces are affecting your health
-
You smell natural gas
-
You get much higher than normal heating bills
If you suffer any of the health symptoms related to No. 2, you may have carbon monoxide poisoning and need to get out of your home immediately. Since carbon monoxide is odorless, you won’t notice anything unusual in the air. However, breathing even low levels of carbon monoxide can cause fatigue and induce increased chest pains in people with chronic heart disease.
The quality of your indoor air is vital to your health. Other pollutants that may affect you if you have a natural gas furnace include nitrogen dioxide particles and sulfur dioxide.
If you experience headaches, dizziness, fatigue, water eyes or difficulty breathing and you have no heath issue that may be causing them, you should leave your home as soon as possible and call to have your furnace checked out. Note that people with chronic respiratory problems, cardiovascular illness or immune system disorders will be more severely affected by these pollutants.
If you have a natural gas furnace and you can smell the gas, you have a potentially dangerous situation on your hands. Don’t light a match, turn on any appliances or use the telephone. Open the windows and leave the house immediately. You can call a service technician and/or 911 from a neighbor’s house or use a public telephone. Heating your home uses more energy than any other system and is generally 45 percent of your utility bill. If you find that this percentage is much higher, your furnace is likely not running as efficiently as it should. Make sure you clean or replace the filters on a monthly basis. Depending on what kind of furnace you have, you may need to clean warm-air registers, baseboard heaters or radiators as well. Also, don’t leave ventilating fans in the bathroom or kitchen running any longer than necessary, as these suck out a tremendous amount of air. Finally, make sure no furniture is blocking any of the vents. Your thermostat controls the amount of heat you want in your home. If you’re not getting any heat from your gas furnace, it may be that the pilot light is out. Otherwise, you might have a problem that needs to be taken care of by a professional. Computerized thermostats are now available that maintain the heating level in your home more evenly.
With heating bills rising all the time, you may want to consider getting a new furnace. If your furnace is 15 years or older, you will save approximately 40 per cent by installing a new one.If you determine that you need a professional to fix your furnace and you live in the Los Angeles County area, you will want to go to www.chiefappliance.com for more information on what services are available. Chief Appliances also sells new furnaces.

Furnace/Heater Repair in Palos Verdes Peninsula
Be the first to commentDoesn’t it always seem major appliances break when you need them the most? For example, it seems to be a rule that air conditioners break in the summer and furnaces break in the winter. Well, you might think this is because that’s when they’re being used the most, and you might be right. But that doesn’t explain why a furnace never seems to break when it’s 50 degrees outside – only when it’s freezing and a sweater isn’t enough.
Even in California, cold weather can arrive and the last thing you want is to switch the thermostat to “heat” and only cold air blows – or no air at all! The time to maintain your heating system is when you don’t need it – during the summer or fall months. When you want furnace/heater repair in Palos Verdes Peninsula, we can assist you with seasonal furnace/heater maintenance as well as repair.

Furnace/Heater Repair in Los Angeles
Be the first to commentIf you’ve turned up your heater, but nothing is happening, there are several things that can be happening. Sometimes the answer is simple, allowing you to have a quick service call – but others are more complicated. Before you call in a professional, there are quick checks you can do to make sure that you’re not paying for a service fee needlessly.

First of all, check to make sure you have the heater on. It sounds silly, but many calls for furnace/heater repair in Los Angeles are actually just calls from people that have forgotten how to properly use their furnace. Check to be sure the lever is on ‘heat’ and that you have the temperature high enough for you to feel. Next, if that seems to be one, you might want to check your breaker box in your home. Sometimes, the breaker just needs to be reset.
If these quick fixes just aren’t working, you might want to call West Coast Chief Repair. They have the tools, the expertise and the parts you need to get your home warmed up again. Anytime, day or night, weekend or holiday, you can call their toll free number or fill out a work order on their website.

Qualities of Reliable Appliance Service
1 commentIf you live in LA County, you’re in our service area. We are a locally owned company that’s been doing appliance repair and maintenance for years. We also make the claim that we provide reliable and dependable service. The problem is a lot of businesses make that claim, and then you find out they can’t fulfill their boastful promises. West Coast Chief Repair has earned a sterling reputation by proving we can do everything we say we can do – and we do it well!
When you need appliance service, finding a company that fulfills your needs can be difficult. Many don’t adhere to their service schedule and always show up late. Other businesses have a high rate of employee turnover, and as a result, technicians are not always properly trained. To make matters worse, appliance parts always have to be “special ordered”, because they’re not in stock.
At West Coast Chief Repair, we are not your typical appliance maintenance business. We offer reliable appliance service, which means you get service when you need it and how you need it. You’re the boss – not us. The qualities of reliable appliance service include the following.
-
Extensive service network so you don’t have to wait weeks to schedule an appointment
-
Fair prices that reflect actual time spent working on the problem
-
Trained service personnel who are familiar with most appliance brands
-
Ability to analyze appliance problem and offer dollar-saving solutions
-
Easy access to a large supply of appliance parts
-
Ability to handle appliance replacement when required
-
Good attitude towards every job no matter how small it might be
-
Honest invoicing
A reliable appliance service company will also stay current in appliance technology developments. Electronics has affected the appliance industry as much as it has gaming, computers and telephones. Service technicians who don’t recognize or understand the latest appliances certainly will not be able to repair them in a reasonable amount of time, if at all.
Appliance service that’s reliable will also understand energy guides and labels. The newest appliance models made by Whirlpool, Maytag and Subzero, and many other brands, are high tech units designed to be energy efficient. A professional service technician will always check to make sure your appliance is operating at its peak performance. An appliance using more energy than it should indicates a problem may exist beyond the original service call order.

Decoding the Sounds Your Furnace Makes
6 commentsFurnaces tend to be the one thing in your home that can be neglected. Out of sight, out of mind as they say. However, your furnace may get your attention by making various sounds.
-
If you hear a screeching noise, it may be that you have a problem with the motor, or it might be a bearing in the motor that is making the noise.
-
If you hear a metallic chirping noise, it may just be a natural noise that the motor or the blower wheel of the fan makes when the heat first kicks on. You might be able to solve this problem yourself by wiggling the wheel, which may be out of alignment. You should also check that the mounting plate is not warped and rubbing against the blower wheel. As well, check that the motor mounts are not loose and the bearings are in good shape.
-
If you hear a noisy rattling sound when your furnace shuts off, it is probably the metal parts to your furnace cooling down. However, it may be something more serious and you should call a furnace repairperson.
-
If you hear a clanging noise, the problem is probably in the pipes, rather than the furnace itself. This may be caused by contraction of the pipes when the furnace turns off and the pipes cool down.
-
A loud boom or thud may lead to the ducts, which can expand and contract in cold weather, especially if the basement is not heated. It might also indicate a problem with dirty burners in the furnace. You might be able to remove and clean these yourself with hot soapy water. Make sure they are completely dry before reinstalling them. If you determine that it is not the ducts or the burners, it may be that your gas valve is defective, which can cause a delayed ignition. In most cases, it is wise to call a service technician.
-
A pinging or popping sound is most likely coming from one of the ducts and is not really something to worry about.
-
If you hear an odd vibrating noise or whining, it may indicate a problem with your furnace and a technician really needs to check it out.
-
A loud humming may come from the furnace burners light when temperatures dip outside. You can eliminate this noise by turning the off/pilot/on control to reduce the burner flame.
-
If you hear a rattling noise when the furnace starts up, it might be a motor bearing.
-
A crackling noise might just be the metal parts cooling down when the furnace shuts down.
-
A clunking and bumping sound indicates a cracked belt.
If you have an older furnace, it is likely that you’ve experienced some of these noises. However, most of the newer gas furnaces have a noise-reduction system.

Why You Need to Have Your Furnace Repaired
Be the first to commentAs your furnace ages, it must work harder to do a good job of heating your home and in the process, a variety of things can go wrong.
It is very important that a service technician inspect your furnace on a regular basis. Not only will this ensure your safety, but it will also uncover small problems before they become large and expensive ones.
While some furnace parts can be removed and replaced, such as the motor, fan and blower wheel, there are a multitude of smaller parts that may need to be fixed or replaced and a service technician can easily spot them. You should schedule a service technician annually to ensure a furnace cleaning and tune-up that can save up to 20 percent on your heating bill.
Having your furnace inspected on a regular basis will also eliminate any health problems and/or potentially dangerous situations. This includes testing for carbon monoxide, as well as re-installing air filters. A service technician will also check to see if the thermostat and safety controls are working properly. The technician will also check the motor, fan and blower operation. He or she will check the tension and alignment of the fan belt and make any necessary adjustments. The service burners will be checked to ensure proper combustion and ignition, as well as the piping from the furnace. For gas furnaces, the technician will check the pilot safety system and make repairs if necessary. All of those inspections should give you more confidence that your furnace will continue to provide safe and energy efficient comfort for your family. A service technician can also answer any questions you might have. If your furnace is 15 years or older, it would be wise to replace it with a more energy efficient new one. While purchasing a new furnace is a major investment, you will be delighted with the comfort provided for your family, as well as the amount of money you will save in the long run.
When looking for a new furnace, you need to consider a number of things, including the size of your home. You will also want to take advantage of the noise-reducing feature on most new furnaces. Two-stage heating provides low-stage heating the majority of the time and only switches to high stage when outside temperatures fall. This feature will definitely save you money. As well, you should have a DC motor, which operates on a lower fan speed 90 per cent of the time.This feature offers quieter operation and can save you several hundred dollars a year on energy costs. Some of the new furnaces also have a computerized self-diagnostic system that gives a technician an accurate readout on failed components, so he or she can make repairs faster. That means a lower service bill for you.
If you would like to have your furnace inspected and/or repaired, one of our service technicians will be promptly sent out to help you. For those of you living in the Los Angeles County area, you will want to go to www.chiefappliance.com. Service technicians are available at no extra charge at night and on weekends or holidays.
