A popping disturbance is a common sign of an insufficient duct design. This happens when there’s more airflow than your ductwork can manage.
Troubles with your ductwork can cause other ventilation and air quality disturbances, such as:
Call a qualified company in Hurricane like Teays Valley Service Experts to examine your home’s ventilation system. We can offer suggestions for duct repair or installation.
It’s common for your heating and cooling unit to make a little noise. However, hearing strange or loud noises could mean there’s an electrical problem or trouble with the blower fan or capacitor. If not fixed, there can be serious (or expensive) consequences later on.
This could be because of improper thermostat settings. Check that the fan blower is set to “auto” and not “on.” Other reasons include a damaged pilot light, restricted air flow due to dirty or clogged furnace filters, or blocked condensate lines. If issues persist, call Teays Valley Service Experts for prompt repair.
Most contractors will advise furnace replacement as soon as cost to repair your system is more than half the cost of a new system. At times, a repair won’t restore the heating system to a minimally effective level. The life span for most furnaces is 15-20 years, and so replacement is generally recommended during that time frame. For more considerations, visit our blog covering more details on when to repair or replace your furnace.
It’s often more affordable to replace your furnace and air conditioner at the same time. Plus, you’ll also enjoy greater energy efficiency year-round. Here’s when you should replace both systems at the same time:

Small tasks like changing the air filter as well as keeping your equipment tidy can go a long way in improving energy efficiency. Check out our full guide for savings you can earn by keeping your HVAC system healthy.
Central AC systems are ducted HVAC products that draw out heat from your house. There are also heat pump air conditioners, which extract heat with a reversible flow of coolant, as well as ductless mini-split systems.
The appropriate sized air conditioner depends on the size of your home, the local climate and many other factors. You need to properly size the AC system to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
British thermal units are a type of measurement used in A/C to illustrate how much energy your AC unit needs to absorb heat. If it states 10,000 BTUs, the model is capable of absorbing that much heat each hour.
Routine maintenance is extremely beneficial for your air conditioner. While it’s not strictly required, it’s an excellent investment in the energy efficiency and overall performance of your HVAC system. In most cases, having regular maintenance and service also keeps the manufacturer’s warranty up to date.
Ductless air conditioning doesn’t use air ducts to transport cool air through a building. Instead, indoor air units blow the conditioned air directly into the room or area they’re installed in.
SEER represents Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, which gauges how efficiently your air conditioner is cooling over its busiest season.
Heat pumps are incredibly energy efficient, but may start to lose efficiency in severely cold weather. Check out our guide for figuring out if a heat pump or air conditioner is right for cooling your home.
The cost of air conditioning services depends on the make and model, the seriousness of the problem and other factors. For lots of common repairs, you might expect to pay a few hundred for parts and labor.
The cost for AC installation largely depends on the size of the home and the replacement AC unit the homeowner chooses. The installation amount can be well over $12,000, depending on the size of the home and the replacement AC that is chosen for the home. Our Advantage Program helps homeowners get access to the AC systems they need for one low monthly payment.
It’s often less costly to replace your furnace and air conditioner at the same time. Plus, you’ll also take pleasure in greater energy efficiency year-round. If your systems are older than 15 years or you need a high-efficiency model or smart thermostat, you should have a new AC and furnace installed together.
We install all types of cooling systems, including central air conditioner systems, geothermal, heat pumps and ductless mini-splits. Schedule a quote to find the right fit for your home by calling Teays Valley Service Experts at 304-760-5088.

Some of the work during an ac tune-up includes a basic AC maintenance checklist:
There are usually different kinds of maintenance plans and rates. Have a look at our memberships page to learn about our tiered maintenance memberships.
Seasonal air conditioner maintenance is essential to keeping your equipment operating successfully, and it can reduce the need for unexpected replacements.
Some key tells that you need AC maintenance service on your unit is if your home has poor airflow or hot and cold spots, leaks, unusual noises or warm air coming from the vents.
Check this full guide to AC maintenance for various things you can do. One of the main things homeowners can do to help upkeep their system, other than having annual yearly or seasonal maintenance done, is to change your AC unit’s air filter every 60-90 days, or 30 days if you have family pets. Changing your filter on a routine basis can extend the life span of your system by reducing wear and tear on the unit, preventing clogs and improving airflow. Using a higher quality HEPA filter can also help maintain the AC unit’s efficiency and decrease instances of sickness in your home.
A trip cost is the expense associated with the time and travel for a Service Experts professional coming to your home. Look at our offers for printable discounts for your future air conditioner service.
Yes. Our Experts are just a short trip away to help with an AC repair or replacement during an emergency.
Most business will suggest an AC replacement when the cost to repair your system is more than half the cost of a new system. For more factors to consider, visit our blog covering more details on whether to repair or replace your AC.
We service and install all types, including central AC, ductless mini-splits and central heat pumps. (Conditional content: As an effort to promote sustainability practices, we also install geothermal and solar HVAC.)
Heat pumps transfer heat in or out of the building instead of creating it. This process is also reversible, allowing heat pumps to provide both heating and cooling.
You can prolong better performance from your heat pump by scheduling service at least once a year. This will help prolong the system’s life span and help to reduce repair and utility costs.
Keeping your systems maintained will help bring costs down. Explore our helpful in-depth guide about keeping your systems healthy. We’ll tell you all about proper maintenance and its benefits.
Yes. We’re just a short ways away, whether you need heat pump repair or replacement on a weekend day or in the middle of the night. Call 304-760-5088 for prompt service.
Heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling, and air-source heat pumps tend to be ideal in moderate climates where temps don’t dip below 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
A heat pump system can replace a heating system in areas where the climate is temperate. Check our more in-depth guide on different heat pump uses in the U.S. Generally, the answer is yes. Because heat pumps transfer hot air rather than generating it from a fuel source, they provide more efficiency than furnaces in most cases, and homeowners can expect 30-40% savings on utility costs when switching.
This depends on differing issues that are causing the need for repairs, which our ACE-certified technicians can help determine.
We install all different types of heat pumps systems, including air-source heat pumps that utilize central ductwork, ductless mini-split systems and ground-source heat pumps–also known as geothermal heat pumps).
Heat pump maintenance is crucial for the system to carry out efficiently and have a long life span. A heat pump should go through routine maintenance at least once a year. Trust the Experts to assist with this with a maintenance membership.
Your home’s air filter needs to be changed on a regular basis, which is typically every 30 to 60 days.
Seasonal maintenance plans are worth the investment for several reasons. Consistent maintenance keeps everything working as seamlessly as possible, which helps lower energy bills while extending your equipment’s life span.
HVAC tune-ups can often be covered in most cases under a labor warranty if your system is still under warranty, but we can check to see if tune-ups are covered. Through the Advantage Program™, key services such as heat pump maintenance are included! It’s one of the most valuable HVAC plans around.
Many customers pay between $250 and $600 for a heat pump repair, but this is based on what the issue is when the HVAC technician comes out to determine the issue.
Heat pumps have a slightly shorter life span than furnaces do as they’re used all year, but with adequate, many heat pump systems last about 10-15 years.
Yes. Our Experts are just a short drive away to assist with a heat pump repair or replacement during an emergency.
Packaged HVAC units are all-in-one HVAC systems that house an air handler and unit parts in one metal cabinet system. This is used to maximize space in a basement or garage, or on rooftops in multifamily buildings.
We install all types of packaged HVAC systems, including packaged air conditioners, packaged gas/electric systems, packaged heat pumps and duel-fueled packaged systems. Give Teays Valley Service Experts a call to find the right one for your home.
Green energy HVAC focuses on reducing energy consumption and increasing the efficiency of existing HVAC systems in homes not set up for renewable energy options. Properly sized green installations reduce waste and increase output.
Some of the most energy-efficient HVAC systems available now are geothermal heat pumps and solar HVAC systems. Call 304-760-5088 today to have a conversation about system replacement if you’re interested.
High-efficiency HVAC systems use less energy than a standard HVAC system while providing the same (or better) output. This can save energy and money, and with regular tune-ups and maintenance, the life span of your system can increase. The longer a system is performing efficiently, the better impact we can have for sustainability.
There are rebates and incentive programs for certain new system installations in 2023. Teays Valley Service Experts can help you navigate discounts and payment for system replacements. We also offer payment options like financing as well as HVAC lease options with our Advantage Program™.
Geothermal systems use energy from below ground to provide heating and cooling. They implement a “loop” system by moving and delivering from either the ground or a water source in heating mode. In cooling mode, this process works in reverse by extracting heat from inside the home to the ground or a water source. The cold air in cooling mode is the result of the process of removing heat and humidity as air is recirculated.
Geothermal HVAC can end up saving money long term due to smaller utility bills, despite the up-front costs. And they’re more efficient than traditional central heating and cooling systems. Ask about federal rebates and other financial incentives during the installation process.
Geothermal systems don’t generate heat, instead using the Earth’s natural ambient temperature for climate control. You wind up saving a lot of money on monthly utility bills, and geothermal systems can also last a lot longer. As long as you keep up with maintenance, you can get 20 years from a geothermal heat pump and as much as 50+ years for an underground loop system.
Yes! Geothermal heat pumps resemble conventional heat pumps in that they are 2-in-1 systems capable of providing both heating and cooling. Even with this potentially confusing name, geothermal heat pumps are just as effective at cooling homes in many different climates. In fact, they’re often the most efficient type of system available!
Solar energy systems convert sunlight to electrical energy through either PV (photovoltaic) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. PV technology is mostly found in solar panels, which are the most common solar energy system. Sunlight is absorbed by PV cells, which excites the cells’ electrons and produces electrical energy. When paired with battery storage, the process can even generate backup power for use at night and in the event of an outage.
Pros:
Cons:
Solar energy systems and the associated installation costs will be a large investment, but much of these initial costs can be recovered after the equipment has been running for a few years. Batteries without panels can range from $12,000 to $22,000 depending on energy storage capacity, while full installation can run as much as $35,000. Ask about a free quote from our solar Experts to find out what you need for a solar energy system.
Solar energy is perfect for powering compatible HVAC systems along with other appropriate equipment such as solar-powered water heaters.
The ultimate efficiency of adding solar panels to your home is partially determined by the regional climate of where you live. Feel free to give us a call to schedule a quote for solar energy installation.
We’re happy to share all the details. It’s worthwhile to research if there are other programs in your state aside from the 30% federal tax credit. Finally, it’s best to have a trusted company like Teays Valley Service Experts complete a home energy audit. An in-depth audit helps you determine how much you may save through solar panel installation in comparison to current utility costs.
Sustainable HVAC design is providing HVAC systems to homeowners and building owners with a focus on high-efficiency systems, reaching higher performance, while decreasing consumption and energy loss.
The most common sustainable HVAC systems are geothermal heat pumps, also known as ground source heat pumps or water source heat pumps.
High-efficiency HVAC systems reach high performance (heating and cooling output) while consuming less energy than what was needed from older, less efficient models.
Green HVAC installation focuses on adding energy-efficient HVAC models and properly sizing systems for the home’s requirements to ensure a high level of comfort and efficient energy use.
Geothermal and solar HVAC are the most up-to-date sustainable HVAC developments in heating and cooling.
Scheduling frequent tune-ups on your HVAC systems can help extend your system’s life span, which is a big step for personal sustainability. Smart thermostats also control the daily temperature of your home and help with zoning, which reduces impact on your systems by not having major temperature changes. Using energy-efficient HVAC systems can also be a big step in making your HVAC eco-friendly. High-efficiency HVAC systems are usually ENERGY STAR certified, which lowers carbon emissions by reaching high performance for less energy.
There are rebates and incentives in 2023 for adding energy-efficient HVAC models, like high-efficiency heat pumps. The Department of Energy goes over HVAC efficiency standards and changes the minimum efficiency ratings on models, like SEER rating, AFUE rating and HSPF rating, based on the newest research. This requires manufacturers to match the minimum efficiency ratings in all new models.
Popping sounds are typical if there’s a problem or damage in your ductwork. The actual sounds appear when there’s more airflow than your ductwork can manage. Trouble with your ductwork can lead to other ventilation and air quality concerns, such as:
A whole-home zoning system helps you fine tune where heating and cooling is focused. With additional thermostats and dampers installed in the ductwork, each zone’s temperature can be individually altered.
The concentration of indoor pollutants average 3-5 times higher than outdoor air. In fact, EPA studies have found that exposure to contaminants can be 100 times higher indoors compared to outdoors. Allergens, microorganisms and even household cleaners can contribute to contamination and degrade your indoor air quality. You can receive a comprehensive Home Health® Report Card by contacting the air quality specialists at Teays Valley Service Experts.
A licensed electrician can perform an electrical load calculation to determine the right measurement of service required for a home or business. This calculation takes into consideration the electrical needs of appliances, lighting, and other electrical devices.
Some important safety precautions include turning off the power supply before performing work on any electrical component, using insulated tools, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and following electrical codes and legal guidelines.
It’s strongly recommended that electrical service be inspected at the least every 10 years to ensure that it is safe and up to code.
Signs of electrical service issues include flickering lights, frequent circuit breaker trips, hot or discolored electrical outlets or switches, buzzing sounds from outlets or switches and burning smells. Another thing to look out for is improper outlets in the kitchen or bathroom – which should be GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlets. This is a shock-resistant outlet that provides a safety measure and helps prevent fire hazards since water is a great conductor of electricity.
Efficiency can be improved by using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs, adding insulation to walls and attics as well as sealing air leaks.
Indoor air quality refers to pollution in your Hurricane home or company. The concentration of airborne pollutants can be 2–5 times greater than outdoors. Considering that most people spend 90% of their time inside and breathe an estimated 3,000 gallons of air daily (according to the American Lung Association), this can eventually lead to problems.
Depending on your specific air quality issues, solutions include:
Some of the most common sources of pollutants include Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) such as cleaning or personal care products, fuel-burning utilities and home appliances, and particulate matter like dust, pollen and smoke.
Definitely. Pollutants and particulate matter can promote illnesses and worsen respiratory conditions, especially for children and the elderly. For certain contaminants like CO, the effects may even be deadly.
Dealing with indoor air quality concerns can result in a host of benefits to your health and well-being, such as:
If you find yourself cleaning every day or coughing constantly, your indoor air may be the reason why. According to EPA studies, indoor pollutants can reach concentrations as much as 100 times higher than the air outdoors. You can determine your indoor air quality by arranging a Home Health® Report consultation with Teays Valley Service Experts.
Each family has their own perception of home comfort, especially if someone in your Hurricane home has allergies, asthma or a weak immune system. You may need a single product like a high-efficiency air filtration system, or multiple. Teays Valley Service Experts can assist you in finding the right mix of equipment.
No. HVAC air filters vary in quality and design, and a few have exclusive features. We generally support using the filter your HVAC manufacturer recommends pairing with your system. All filters are assigned MERV ratings on a scale from 1–20. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value and can aid you to identify high-efficiency filters. For most residential needs, a MERV rating of 11 or lower will suffice.
The right schedule for cleaning or replacing your air filter is based on multiple factors, like the filter design and MERV rating as well as the current indoor air quality. For conventional 1”-3” filters, most brands advise replacement every 30-90 days. Pets, health conditions and even nearby pollution sources can necessitate replacing the filter more often.
If the issue is not your body’s hydration, excessively dry air can irritate your throat and sinuses. Look at getting a whole-home humidifier if you continuously struggle with a dry, itchy throat.
Your HVAC system pulls out moisture as it runs, leading to situations where humidity levels fall out of balance. Portable humidifiers can resolve humidity concerns in a single room or small area, but a central humidifier provides balanced humidity throughout the entire building.
Usually, comfortable humidity levels are between 30-60%. These levels are particularly hard to maintain in the winter, as cold air does not hold onto moisture as well as warm air. What’s more, your furnace displaces moisture by generating hot, dry heat.
The best way to find an appropriate whole-house humidifier is multiplying the total square footage by the height of the ceiling. This will help determine how many gallons of water each hour is needed to balance humidity.
You should also consider your available budget, as a humidifier needs maintenance just like any other mechanical equipment.
It depends on the model, but whole-house humidifiers average between 1.5 to 12 gallons per day. Obviously, arid climates will use more water to keep humidity balanced.
Routine preventive maintenance is often essential for long-term equipment efficiency, and your humidifier is no exception. The humidifier’s reservoir should be routinely drained and cleaned to prevent mold.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas created by partial fuel combustionwhich, in turn is frequently caused by inadequate access to oxygen. Appliances relying on natural gas, charcoal, wood or kerosene are common sources of CO gas, particularly if they are not running correctly or have been installed wrong. CO is poisonous to the body and is lethal at high levels or prolonged exposure.
Initial signs such as nausea and exhaustion are often mistaken as a result of the flu. But CO gas exposure can progress, possibly leading to confusion, organ damage or even death. Other symptoms include:
Yes. Removing carbon monoxide should be a priority because of the danger it poses to your health and well-being. CO gas can be discovered in any Hurricane home or commercial property, making effective ventilation and prevention strategies universally beneficial.
Prevention is the first place to start. A few safety precautions to take include:
If carbon monoxide has been detected, you should immediately vacate the building and alert the fire department and utility provider. If a leak is discovered, you should then contact a trusted HVAC company for repairs.
Due to the fact that carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and life-threatening in heavy concentrations, installing carbon monoxide detectors in central locations is the best way to alert you to its presence.
A carbon monoxide detector is like a smoke alarm, monitoring the air and notifying you if carbon monoxide levels are too high. Preferably, you need to have at least one detector near every bedroom on all floors in your home. More detectors can be placed near the kitchen, living areas or near combustion appliances. These detectors are best used in combination with our HVAC maintenance memberships, which keep your unit in good shape and may help you prevent carbon monoxide.
If an air freshener isn’t doing the trick, there may be microbes or contaminants nearby producing the unpleasant odor. Bacteria and mold are frequent sources, but they can be fixed with the sanitation properties of a germicidal UV light. They are especially effective against odor-producing microorganisms.
If you notice the supply of hot water isn’t lasting long, it may be an issue with your tank hot water heater. The heating element could be too dirty from grime or mineral buildup.
A toilet that’s running constantly could be dealing with several potential problems, such as a broken flapper seal, flush valve or flapper chain. Sometimes it’s the handle itself that’s making the toilet run. A running toilet wastes a lot of water, so it’s important to call Expert plumbers promptly at 304-760-5088.
One of the most common reasons your dishwasher isn’t draining correctly is because the drain line is clogged. The line, sometimes referred to as a drain hose, removes water from the dishwasher tub at the end of a cycle. If the drain line is clogged, water may not be able to flow properly. Contact our certified plumbers for troubleshooting and repairs.
A quick response is important if you’re dealing with a burst pipe as a result of freezing. Expert plumbers should handle broken pipe repairs, but there are several things you can do by yourself to keep the pipes from freezing up in the first place:
Grind up food scraps right away with cold water and leave the disposal on for about 30 seconds to ensure everything is broken down. Everyone should also stop putting coffee grounds, eggshells, potato peels and other large pieces of food into the disposal, because they may restrict drainage and cause damage and bad smells.
Backflow and the subsequent cross connection can take place wherever your nonpotable plumbing system meets the water lines. As such, many different types of fixtures and appliances are at risk, including:
For commercial properties like industrial facilities, equipment such as boilers, chemical mixing tanks and laboratory equipment are vulnerable to backflow, etc.
Backflow preventers stop contaminants from going into the public water supply and posing a health risk to the community. Backflow prevention is vital because it helps to ensure that the municipal water supply remains safe and free of contaminants.
There are several types of backflow preventers, including:
The type of backflow preventer you need depends on your building’s plumbing system as well as the most common contaminants the plumbing is susceptible to. Professional backflow prevention services should always help determine the most appropriate make and model for your needs.
Your home might have an RPZ or Reduced Pressure Zone. The zone’s consistent pressure serves as a backflow prevention device to prevent contaminants from flowing backward. At Teays Valley Service Experts, our certified testers specialize in:
Since preventing trouble is often easier than repairing it, you should attempt to have your RPZ valve inspected annually as recommended.
Backflow preventers usually need to be tested once a year to ensure that they are functioning correctly, although the ultimate maintenance needs depend on the type of backflow preventer you have and its current condition.
Backflow preventers are specialized technical devices, meaning installation is best left to a professional with the right tools and experience. Our backflow prevention specialists will ensure that the device is installed correctly and meets all relevant regulations and standards.
Costs depend on a few factors. You should consider the type of backflow preventer you need and the complexity of your property’s plumbing system as well as the cost of any needed parts and labor. Call today at 304-760-5088 for a free quote.
There are various signs that may indicate that your backflow preventer is not working correctly including:
If you notice any of these signs, it’s critical to contact a professional backflow prevention service provider as soon as possible.
Without a backflow prevention device, the backflow may contaminate your supply of potable water. This contamination could also enter the public water supply, posing a risk for the entire community. This can leave you open to health or legal consequences depending on the severity of the situation.
The regulations and codes that require backflow prevention systems vary by jurisdiction. In some areas, they are required by law for some types of plumbing systems or for plumbing designed to handle specific contaminants. A certified backflow prevention service provider can help review any applicable regulations for your plumbing system.

Yes! We work with some seasoned installers that excel at the installation of plumbing fixtures like a bathtub or new showerhead.
To remove the risk of your garbage disposal smelling, food scraps should be ground up right away with cool water. Thirty seconds should be more than enough time. Avoid pouring coffee grounds, eggshells, potato peels and banana peels into your disposal, because they frequently cause drainage issues and unpleasant smells. While bleach may seem like a great idea for cleaning your garbage disposal, it hardens grease along with other food residue in your pipes, creating clogs.
Our plumbing Experts advise using these cleaning solutions each week to keep your disposal smelling clean:
You can also buy garbage disposal pods or grind up citrus peels to help remove odors. If your garbage disposal still smells, you might be dealing with a leak (especially if the smell resembles a sewer). Contact us at for Expert plumbing service.

If you notice the signs of a leak, we can help. We back all of our work with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee for a year.*
Overall costs may vary depending on where the leak is in your home alongside the seriousness of the damage. A minor, dripping leak is more easily resolved than severe damage to the water main.
You can’t always avoid leaks entirely, but it’s still possible to lower the risk. Seals and valves can frequently lead to leaks, so keeping up with maintenance can minimize the risk. Letting professional plumbers handle projects like repair and repiping will also keep the plumbing as tightly sealed as possible.
Yes! When there’s a plumbing emergency, we can respond promptly and make any repairs needed.
A water line brings fresh water into the home, while a sewer line removes wastewater from the home.
Signs of a leak in a water line include low water pressure, higher water bills, and damp or mushy areas around the house. Signs of a leak in a sewer line could be slow drains, sewage backups and foul odors.
Clogs in water lines can be caused by mineral buildup, rust or debris. Clogs in sewer lines are most often caused by grease, hair or other debris.
Water lines may need to be replaced if they are severely corroded, have frequent leaks or are made of obsolete materials.
Signs of a sewer line backup could be slower drains, sewage backups and foul odors.
For a quick diagnosis of what happened to your water or sewer lines, you should contact our Expert plumbers at 304-760-5088 as soon as possible.
Repairing and replacing water or sewer lines depends on the extent of the damage and the required materials. Our technicians can help discuss repair or replacement costs once we’ve finished the initial diagnostic visit.
