Local considerations
Combustion air requirements in Racine are affected by home improvements that seal the building envelope. A furnace with adequate combustion air when installed may not have enough after weatherisation work is done around it.
Severe winters with lake-effect cold and very high furnace run hours. In Racine that makes the heating season a test of whatever deferred maintenance the summer covered up. Equipment that held on through a mild spell often cannot manage a sustained cold stretch.

Racine HVAC questions
Can I run a space heater meanwhile?
Portable heaters carry their own fire risk and should never be left running unattended or near fabric. Never use a gas range or an outdoor appliance to heat a room, which is a direct carbon monoxide hazard.
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?
If any gas appliance runs in the home, yes. Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless, and a working alarm near sleeping areas is the only reliable warning. If one sounds, leave the building and call 911 from outside.
Do you work on boilers in Racine?
Yes, where a provider covering your ZIP code handles them. Boiler faults run to pressure loss, circulator pumps, expansion tanks and zone valves, which is a different skill set from forced-air work. Say so when you call.
Why does my furnace smell when it first runs?
A brief dusty smell on the first run of the season is normal as dust burns off the heat exchanger. A persistent burning smell, or any electrical smell, is not. Shut it off and call.
What if I smell gas?
Leave the building first, then call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not operate light switches, thermostats or phones on your way out. Call us afterwards, once the utility has made the property safe.
