In our experience serving your community’s residents, we have found a number of common trends when it comes to heating repairs across Rochester Hills’ homes. These are frequently influenced by the climate of southeast Michigan, as well as homes’ common architectural features. In particular, Rochester Hills is home to a number of larger, custom, or luxury homes.
A large number of homes in Rochester Hills have been constructed or custom built by luxury home builders such as Tollbrothers, Robertson Brothers Homes, and Moceri Homes. While these companies construct a variety of houses, they are generally upscale and larger in Rochester Hills. Below we’ve also outlined a number of features our technicians encounter that often affect our approach to heating repairs.
Lots of larger, luxury homes feature open floor plans, particularly in areas like Clear Creek. While this design is beautiful, these designs frequently include high ceilings or large windows. These additional features may cause potential issues for heating. Heat may rise in rooms with high ceilings, creating a less even distribution and heat stratification, and large windows may exacerbate heat loss if not properly sealed. As such, our professionals frequently check insulation on homes like these to ensure no additional heat is being lost.
While modern HVAC systems with regular maintenance can easily be calibrated to heat open floor plans, homes with older systems or furnaces may struggle to effectively circulate heat through larger, more open spaces. This is particularly relevant in more historic neighborhoods such as Oakwood. If you are experiencing repeated heating issues and have an older system, our technicians may recommend replacing or updating your system for better results.
A large number of houses in Rochester Hills include French doors. Due the significant amount of glass in the doors in combination with the colder, harsher weather of southeast Michigan, French doors should be inspected for sealing issues that may contribute to heat loss. As it is a poor insulator, you may consider upgrading the glass units in your windows with low e-coatings to improve insulation. Our expert team can help evaluate all factors contributing to heat loss and recommend the proper solution.
Frequently utilized in Rochester Hills for its aesthetic appeal, marble can be used on walls, fixtures, and flooring, and often is in Walnut Brook Estates and Vintage Estates. Because marble has both a high thermal conductivity and thermal mass, it can conduct heat more efficiently than other materials, but it absorbs and releases it slowly, often causing rooms or surfaces to feel colder in more volatile or colder climates, like Rochester Hills. However, marble is well suited to radiant heating systems due to this property. If your home has many marble features an you are experiencing repeated heating issues, our team can evaluate your situation suggest appropriate improvements,
Rochester Hills is also home to a number of brick homes. While brick, due to its ability to absorb heat, is generally a great material for maintaining a warm home, it can also cause a house to be slow to heat up when turning on the system for the first time. This is particularly relevant for Rochester Hills residents, as temperature can vacillate greatly, reach an extremely low range, and be compounded by excess snow, as in the winter of 2013-14. This may increase the load on the system and cause greater wear and tear. As a result, owners of brick homes should have their systems and filters regularly checked to ensure maximum performance.
