Give the Gift of Warmth

July 28, 2025/in Articles/by William Hammer

When the weather turns cold each fall or winter, you simply turn on your heating system to battle the cold. If you have a functioning heating system, you probably rarely give a second thought to what it would be like if you didn’t have heat. But that is the reality facing an alarming number of families in the state of North Carolina, some of which reside in Guilford County. According to data collected by local food banks, 75% of NC households have had to choose between heating their homes and buying food. That is the unfortunate reality, but it doesn’t have to continue that way. You can make a contribution to help those less fortunate to heat their homes this winter through The Gift of Warmth, a Salvation Army program. Such financial gifts help local HVAC companies like Berico provide families in need with heating system repair in Greensboro, NC.

Benefits to Donating:

  • Donations are tax deductible. As with any charitable donation, your gift is tax deductible, which may result in a larger tax return check this year.
  • Help families in your own community. Are you more interested in helping your own neighbors than people overseas? If the amount you are able to donate to charities is limited, consider giving back to your own community. You can designate your donation to help families in Guilford, Alamance, or Rockingham and Caswell counties.
  • Keep people from having to choose which of their basic needs to fulfill. Every person deserves to have his or her basic needs fulfilled each day. Sufficient food, clothing, warm housing, and healthcare are things no one should have to do without or choose between. Your gift can help to ensure that no family is forced to decide whether to eat or pay for heating system repair in Greensboro, NC.

How to Give:

Simply visit giftofwarmth.com and enter your credit or debit card information. The site is secure so there is no risk, but you can also donate using your PayPal account. You can make a one-time donation or set up an automatic monthly contribution. You can also donate in person at any BB&T financial center. The total goal is to raise $50,000 to help local families.

Tips on Switching from Electric to Propane Heat

July 28, 2025/in Articles/by William Hammer

Carolina Fuels Propane TankDoes your home have an electric heating system? Have you ever wondered if there’s another, possibly better, way to heat your home? There is. It’s called propane, and it has many advantages over electric heat. Switching is easy. It only requires a new furnace and propane tank installation in Reidsville, NC. If your furnace is getting old or requires frequent repairs, now is the time to consider switching to propane.

Advantages of Heating with Propane

  • Efficiency. Propane is a high-efficiency heating fuel. Less propane is required to heat your home than electricity.
  • Affordability. Propane is an affordable source of energy for home heating when compared to electricity, heating oil, and natural gas.
  • Versatility. In addition to heating your home, propane can be used for appliances like stoves, ovens, clothes dryers, and water heaters.
  • Safety. Propane is a non-toxic, non-poisonous gas that has a very low volatility (requires extremely high temperatures to ignite).
  • Reliability. When the power goes out you will still have heat if you have a propane fireplace. Your electric furnace wouldn’t be much help in a severe snow storm if trees fall on power lines and cause outages.
  • Environmentally friendly. Propane is not itself a greenhouse gas and is a low-carbon, clean-burning fuel. It does not harm the earth or ground water if a tank leaks.

How To Switch from Electric to Propane Heat

Convinced you’re ready to make the switch? Follow these steps to switch your electric heat over to propane as easily as possible.

  1. Call your HVAC company (Carolina Fuels). Your heating and air conditioning company can help you get started on your conversion. A technician can evaluate your system and determine the best course of action for switching.
  2. Schedule propane tank installation in Reidsville, NC. Your propane supplier will need to install a propane tank on your property. Your tank can be buried underground if you would prefer to conceal it and save space.
  3. Have a propane furnace installed. Your HVAC technician can recommend a new propane furnace for your home. If your electric heat was a forced air system you will already have ductwork in place, which would lower your installation cost.
  4. Convert other appliances or purchase new. Any appliance you wish to run on propane will either have to be converted if possible or replaced.

Carolina Fuels Can Help You Save Money by Switching to Propane

If you’re ready to save money and enjoy the other benefits of heating with propane, contact Carolina Fuels. Propane tank installation in Reidsville, NC, and furnace installation can be handled by one company this fall before the weather gets cold. Be prepared for winter like never before and plan to spend less on heating your home this year and in the years to come. Carolina Fuels offers free tank swap outs for new customers as well as other propane specials and discounts. Call (336) 623-9741 today and see how easy it is to switch.

Perks of Installing a High Efficiency Heating System

July 28, 2025/in Articles/by William Hammer

thermostatWondering if you could benefit from a new high efficiency heating system? There are certainly a lot of perks to high efficiency furnaces and other heating equipment. If your current heating system is old and starting to show signs of its age, such as higher fuel bills and insufficient heating, replacing it now is a wise choice. Planning for furnace installation in Greensboro, NC, before winter comes offers additional advantages.

Benefits of Upgrading to a High Efficiency Furnace

  1. Save money on heating fuel. Whether you have natural gas, propane, or heating oil, a high efficiency furnace will require less fuel to heat your home than your old furnace. Your monthly gas bill will be lower, and you will require fewer refills of your propane or heating oil tank.
  2. Enjoy more consistent warmth. A high efficiency furnace heats your home more evenly and offers a more lasting warmth than your old furnace. Your home will maintain its goal temperature for longer and throughout each room.
  3. Quieter operation. New furnaces, especially high efficiency ones, are designed to run much more quietly than old furnaces. Been noticing a lot of noise coming from your heating system this season? That’s another sign of an aging furnace. Gain some significant peace and quiet with new furnace installation in Greensboro, NC.

Advantages to Upgrading your Heating System Now

Even when you know replacement is needed, it may be tempting to put off this particular undertaking until it gets cold. Resist this temptation and get your new furnace installation scheduled now. Here are the reasons why:

  • If your old furnace fails on a cold winter night, you’ll find yourself in an emergency situation. Not having heat on a freezing night can become dangerous quickly. You may be forced to call your HVAC company after close of business. After-hours and emergency fees apply in these situations, meaning you’ll pay extra for the same services.
  • HVAC companies get busy during the winter and may not be available to replace your furnace when it breaks down. If your heat breaks down in winter, its highly likely that your HVAC company will be busy repairing and replacing systems for other customers. You could be waiting in the cold for days before help arrives, or even be forced to stay elsewhere until your system can be replaced.

 Call Berico for High Efficiency Furnace Installation in Greensboro, NC

Now is the time to take advantage of the current specials being offered by Berico. If you’ve been thinking about furnace replacement, it’s likely your air conditioning was installed at the same time in one complete HVAC system. If your furnace needs to be replaced, your air conditioning surely does too as AC systems typically don’t last as long as furnaces. Berico is offering a free furnace installation with any air conditioning installation. Been thinking about switching to heating oil? You can get a $500 rebate for installing a new oil furnace or tank.  So don’t wait any longer. Start gaining all the perks that come with new high efficiency furnace installation in Greensboro, NC. Call Berico (336)273-8663.

Winterizing Your Home this Fall

July 28, 2025/in Articles/by William Hammer

cozy houseColder weather is on the horizon. Is your home ready for winter? Freezing temperatures and snow can take their toll on your house, but you can avoid many household problems that can occur during winter by properly winterizing your home. Follow these steps and keep your eye out for propane specials in Greensboro, NC, that can save you money this year.

  1. Schedule furnace maintenance. The sooner the better on this one. HVAC companies tend to get busy performing furnace tune-ups in this time of year, so make your appointment now. Furnace maintenance ensures your system is in good shape and will run smoothly and efficiently throughout the winter.
  2. Have your propane or heating oil tank refilled. If your household heats with propane or heating oil, fall is a good time to make sure your tank is full. You definitely want to avoid running out on a cold winter night. Fall is a good time to find propane specials in Greensboro, NC, to help you save a little money on your heating fuel.
  3. Seal up cracks or leaks in your home. Insulating your home to keep the warm air in and the cold air out will go a long way in making sure your home stays comfortable, your furnace works efficiently, and you save money. Seal up cracks in the walls or around doors and windows. For best results you can have a professional fully inspect your home for air leaks and improve your insulation before it gets cold.
  4. Check the condition of your roof (or have it checked by a professional). If your roof has any weak spots or missing shingles, just one layer of snow can cause it to leak. Even a heavy frost might be all it takes for moisture to seep in. Your roof may also be letting cold air into your home and causing your furnace to work overtime. With experience, you can inspect and repair your own roof, but your safest bet is to have a professional roofer come out and take a look. They can make their recommendation for repair or replacement.

Home Maintenance Checklist for Fall

July 28, 2025/in Articles/by William Hammer

Furnace Repair in EdenAs fall approaches and the weather begins to cool, you should start thinking about home maintenance. With winter coming soon there are some checks that need to be done and possibly some adjustments made to prepare your home for the season ahead. Not sure what to do? Follow this checklist to get your home ready for winter.

  • Furnace inspection and maintenance. It is wise to have your furnace inspected every year to make sure it is in good working order and will run efficiently. You can save money on energy costs with yearly maintenance and avoid unexpected furnace problems in cold weather.
  • Heating system installation Eden, NC. If your furnace is old or is found to be faulty upon inspection, it may be in your best interest to replace it. Your HVAC technician can give you a recommendation on its condition and the best course of action. It is much easier to have your furnace replaced in the fall if replacement is necessary.
  • Install a programmable thermostat. Save money this winter with a programmable thermostat. You can keep your home warmer when you’re home and cooler when you’re not at home to save energy and heating fuel.
  • Roof inspection/repair/replacement. Have a professional roofer check the condition of your roof and do any repairs that may be necessary to keep cold air and moisture from seeping in. If your roof needs to be replaced, it’s best to get it done in the fall before winter weather sets in.
  • Seal up cracks around windows and doors. If you notice cracks, seal them to keep cold air out and warm air in. Not sure how to handle this? Have a professional home insulator come and seal your home.
  • Clean out gutters. Before frost, snow, and ice begin to form, clean out your gutters so that the water has plenty of space to drain properly away from your home.
  • Divert water away from the house. Once your gutters are clean, consider extending your drain pipes further away from your home. This keeps water away from your foundation to prevent sinking or a flooded basement. Also, make sure your yard drains properly away from your home. Add a drainage system if necessary.
  • Turn off exterior faucets and drain hoses. Keep water from freezing in pipes and hoses and causing damage by turning off all faucets and draining all water from hoses and sprinkler systems.

Reliable Heating System Installation in Eden, NC

The most important part of fall home maintenance is preparing your furnace. If your furnace is old, not working correctly, or requires expensive repairs, it may be in your best interest to replace it. Carolina Fuels provides reliable heating system installation in Eden, NC.

Saving Money on Your Heating Bills This Winter

July 28, 2025/in Articles/by William Hammer

fuel deliveryAre you looking for ways to lower your utility costs this winter? When the weather gets cold it is necessary to heat your home in some way. Whether you use propane, natural gas, electricity, heating oil, or another energy source for home heat, there are ways to reduce the cost. From furnace maintenance to propane deals in Burlington, NC, there are plenty of ways to save.

  1. Schedule a furnace tune up. You may have heard that your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system needs regular maintenance. This not only prevents your system from breaking down, but it improves the efficiency of your furnace. An efficient furnace uses less energy, whether that’s electricity, propane, heating oil, or gas. When less energy is used, you pay less on your utility bills.
  2. Improve your insulation. Do you have some rooms that are too cold or perhaps near doors and windows? Does it seem that your furnace is running constantly? You may have cracks or leaks that cold air can get through. Sealing up cracks around windows and doors can really reduce your heating costs. For further cost reduction, consider having a specialist come in and better insulate your home. You may pay the cost up front for this service, but the money you save will make it worth your while.
  3. Switch from electric heat to propane or heating oil. If you’re using electricity to heat your home, you may find that propane or heating oil is much more affordable. Switching is easy and new customers often receive promotional discounts. You can also find propane deals in Burlington, NC, quite easily at certain times of the year. Paying for propane or oil at one time means you avoid rising monthly bills.
  4. Install a new furnace. Is your furnace getting old? If it’s 10 or 15 years old you could definitely save energy by purchasing a new furnace. New heating systems are much more efficient than systems that were made even 7 years ago. A high-efficiency furnace uses significantly less electricity, propane, oil, or gas, which saves you money on home heating bills. The cost of a new furnace can be recouped in just a few years of lower energy bills.

Get Propane Deals in Burlington, NC, through Alamance Oil

If you’re looking to save money this winter, you should already be looking for propane deals in Burlington, NC, this fall. Being prepared early is another great way to save money on heating costs. Alamance Oil offers $20 off a propane delivery when you become an automatic fill customer for the first time.

Does a Hot Summer Mean a Very Cold Winter?

July 28, 2025/in Articles/by William Hammer

furnace maintenance GreensboroThis summer has been a real scorcher. We’ve had temperatures in the upper 90s, not much rain, burned out grass, and even leaves falling from trees prematurely. But does a hot summer mean we’re in for a bitterly cold winter? You could say it’s one of those “old wives’ tales” that a hot summer proceeds a colder winter, but is there any actual science behind the theory? And what does that mean for HVAC companies performing heating repair in Greensboro, NC, in the upcoming season?

Research Does Not Support this Theory

Meteorologists have done extensive studies to test this theory, and have found that summer weather is in no way a predictor of winter weather. A hot summer could be followed up by a milder winter just as readily as a colder winter. Really, the only predictable aspect of weather is its unpredictability. The experts study the trends and attempt to predict the weather as accurately as possible, but as you’ve probably experienced on many occasion, they are not always right.

Be Prepared for Any Weather This Winter with Heating Repair in Greensboro, NC

Since we’ve determined that we can’t predict the weather for the upcoming winter, it’s best to be prepared for anything. Is your furnace ready to handle a cold winter? Do you have enough propane or heating oil to last you through the season? If you’re not sure of your answer to either of those questions, you need to call Berico right away.

Heating repair in Greensboro, NC, is best taken care of before the start of cold weather. Once the first chilly night hits and everyone starts turning their furnaces on, you may be one of many who find out that their furnace was not ready for winter. When that happens, your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) company will be busy responding to all the calls that come in and you may find yourself waiting in the cold for a technician to come out and repair your furnace.

Avoid a Major Mishap: Get your Propane or Oil Tank Refilled Before it Runs Out

The first touch of cold weather is also an unfortunate time to find out your propane or oil tank is empty. Not only will you have to wait for a refill, but you will be stuck paying whatever the current price is for heating fuel. And if your propane tank is completely emptied it is at risk for damage. Leaks can occur during refill and air and moisture can seep into the tank which may cause the inside of the tank to rust. If your oil tank runs dry it can cause damage to your furnace, such as failure to start up again once the oil is replenished.

Berico Can Help You Stay Warm this Winter, Whatever the Future Holds

We may not know if this winter will be frigid or mild, but making sure your heating system is ready well in advance is always best. Find out how you can be prepared for any weather and save money at the same time with a Comfort and Protection Service Agreement from Berico. A furnace tune-up and fuel discount is the winning combination. Call (336) 273-8663.

Best Ways to Prepare for a Warm Fall—it’s Coming

July 28, 2025/in Articles/by William Hammer

Warm Fall photoMeteorologists are predicting a warmer than usual fall for the east coast this year. You can expect to feel summer-like temperatures through September and into October, with higher than normal temperatures through November as well. What does this mean for household heating and cooling? It’s likely your air conditioner will be running for a greater portion of this year, with your furnace sitting dormant much longer than usual. AC maintenance in Greensboro, NC, will be more important than ever before.

HVAC Maintenance Improves Efficiency which Reduces Energy Usage

Knowing that your air conditioner will be working overtime to beat the heat, you may be dreading your electric bills. During the fall you’re used to getting a short respite from those high energy bills before the cold weather kicks in and it’s the furnace’s turn to do the work. But you can keep your electric bill lower by getting your HVAC system tuned up this fall. Maintenance involves cleaning, inspecting, lubricating, and repairing the working parts of your AC unit to achieve maximum performance. Typically, you would have your air conditioner tuned up in the spring and your furnace done in the fall. But this year, it would be wise to have your AC inspected in the fall as well since it may still have a few extra months to run. This is especially advisable if it has not had any maintenance yet this year. Avoid potentially high energy bills with AC maintenance in Greensboro, NC.

Thinking About AC Replacement? This Could Be the Year

Is your air conditioner showing signs of age? Is it running louder, switching on and off more, and failing to keep your home at your desired temperature? Are your electric bills skyrocketing? If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it may be time for a new air conditioner. New technology has made air conditioners extremely efficient. Up to 18 and 20 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) models are available that use a fraction of the electricity of older machines. If you’ve been wondering if upgrading your system to a more efficient model would be worth the money, this year the benefit would certainly outweigh the cost. Weather trends are likely to continue in the next few years, meaning a long term seasonal shift will take place, making warmer falls the norm. In this case, a new air conditioning unit will pay for itself in energy savings within the first few years.

Steps to Follow Before you Turn On your Furnace

July 28, 2025/in Articles/by William Hammer

A photo of a thermostatAs fall approaches it’s time to start thinking about the condition of your furnace. It’s important to take the necessary steps to prepare your furnace for cold weather before the first chilly night. Don’t wait until it gets cold to change your thermostat to heat just to find out that it won’t come on or isn’t working properly. There are specific steps you can take on your own to prepare, as well as scheduling furnace maintenance in Eden, NC.

  1. Change filters. If you typically change your filters every 1-2 months, you’re already doing what experts recommend to keep dirt and dust out of your system and improve airflow. If not, now is a great time to do that. Dirty, clogged filters allow dirt and dust to get through but not the air that should be able to get through. Low air flow and a dirty furnace can cause problems with your system from decreased efficiency to furnace failure.
  2. Check carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure your carbon monoxide detectors are working properly. Change the batteries. Most detectors have a test/reset button. Push this button and hold it down until you hear 2 beeps. If your carbon monoxide detector is monitored by your security system, contact your security monitoring center for testing. Why is this important? Because furnaces produce carbon monoxide that should be minimal and vented outside of your home. Your CO monitor will sound if your furnace produces more than it should or isn’t venting properly.
  3. Clean vents. Dust tends to collect around your vents, especially the intake vents. Use a simple duster to remove dust and debris from your vents before switching your furnace on for the first time this season.
  4. Clean around your furnace. With experience, you may be able to clean the inside of your furnace, but it is safer to leave that up to the professionals. You can simply remove dust and debris from the outside of your furnace to prevent it from getting inside when your HVAC company comes to perform maintenance.
  5. Schedule a furnace tune up with your HVAC company. The most important thing to do before turning on your furnace each season is to have your heating and cooling service come out to perform a tune-up. Furnace maintenance in Eden, NC, will help your furnace run more efficiently and prevent problems that could occur in the future.

Furnace Maintenance in Eden, NC, Saves You Money on Heating Costs

If you’re wondering if a furnace tune-up is worth the money, the answer from homeowners and HVAC experts alike is a resounding “Yes.” Just like your car or any other working machine, regular maintenance is necessary to keep it running properly. Your furnace needs to be cleaned, inspected, and sometimes repaired to keep it from breaking down. Furnace maintenance in Eden, NC, includes all of that and more. A well-tuned furnace uses less energy, saving you money on gas, electricity, propane, or oil. And you can avoid emergency and after-hours fees for unexpected breakdowns. Sign up for a Comfort and Protection Service Agreement and emergency fees are waived. You’ll also get a discount on propane or heating oil deliveries. Call Carolina Fuels and make sure your furnace is prepared well in advance for cold weather: (336) 623-9741.

Why Does My Furnace Run Constantly?

July 28, 2025/in Articles/by William Hammer

furnace maintenance GreensboroDoes your furnace seem to be on more than it’s off? Are you beginning to wonder if there’s a problem? You’re probably right. Your furnace should not be constantly running. It’s a definite sign of a system malfunction and there are few common causes for this. If it seems like your furnace never turns off, you should definitely call a reliable HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) service for furnace repair in Burlington, NC.

Possible Causes for a Furnace that Won’t Turn Off:

  • Blower issues. Is the air coming from your vents warm or cool? If your furnace is running but you’re only getting cool air, you may have a blower issue. It’s possible that an electrical issue is causing your blower to constantly run, like corroded wires. Do not attempt to work on the electrical components of your furnace yourself. Stay safe and call an HVAC professional for repairs.
  • Dirty/clogged filters. If the air coming from your vents is warm, but the air flow is weak, it’s likely your filters are clogged with dirt and dust. Clogged filters keep the necessary air from getting into your furnace, resulting in failure to adequately reach your desired indoor temperature. Replace your filters with new clean ones and see if the problem corrects itself. If not, call for furnace repair in Burlington, NC.
  • Thermostat issues. Make sure your thermostat is set to your desired indoor temperature and that it is set to the “auto” setting, not the “on” setting. “On” tells your furnace to run constantly. “Auto” tells your furnace to run until the desired temperature is reached. It will then shut off automatically until the temperature falls below the set temperature, in which case it will turn on again. If your thermostat settings seem correct, but the furnace continues to run, it’s possible you have a faulty thermostat. Call an HVAC technician to inspect, calibrate, or possibly replace it.
  • Pilot light issues. Old furnaces sometimes have a pilot light that is supposed to stay lit throughout the cold season. If this goes out, you may find your furnace constantly running and blowing only cool air. You can relight your pilot following the instructions for you furnace. Most furnaces these days have electric start pilots that light automatically when the furnace calls for heat. It’s possible that somewhere within that mechanism there is an issue causing the pilot not to light. This can be repaired by your heating repair service.

I recommend Comfort & Protection Service Plans to everyone! When my oil furnace needed to replace its heat exchanger and some additional parts, being on a plan saved me $1,095.

Nancy McCoy

I first used Berico in August of 2009 and am now entering my 6th year. I have always believed that it is better to prevent a problem than to solve one, and your technician have done a "bang up" job of keeping my unit in excellent working order.

David Deasy

Every visit by Berico is a pleasure. The technicians are friendly, knowledgable and honest. I appreciate the time they take to explain things.

Robert Dixon

Our technicial did a good job of servicing our two systems for summer. He helped teach us-once again- how to make changes in the thermostat, which we need to do before travelling. Thanks. RB

Brandi Simmons

Berico recently installed a new unit at our home. Berico offered several financing options for us and the approval process took 30 seconds. We were very impressed with the professionalism, honesty, dedication, and personal touch of the whole work crew of our job.

Norma Wilkins

Gentlemen came out and installed new tank and were very professional. They completed the job in a good amount of time and cleaned up behind themselves. Would highly recommend to others!

William Benge

My system uses a ridiculous amount of oil and last year, I ran out regularly. Becky at Carolina made sure to keep an eye out for us and followed up regularly to ensure we were in good shape. They worked with us on our payments and were just really good to us.

Tim Moore

This is an outstanding company, they are always on time every time and do what they say they will do. I highly recommend them!

Daniel Klecka

Signed up for the Annual maintenance service after hearing for a commercial on the radio for them. Everyone I have dealt with has always been nice and professional. Had an issue where I needed a new capacitor on my heat pump unit - no big deal.

Ann Somers

I just can't say enough about the good service and friendly folks at Berico. Keep up the good work! I like your Sharing the Warmth program too. It is a great way to get help to our neighbors, even those we don't know.

Suzanne Miller

There isn't a nicer group of people to deal with. The service was done with a very polite maintenance man. He was quick, polite and very friendly, and very efficient. I would recommend them to anyone. I also want to mention how polite the office staff was.

Nicky Smith

We are a very unique customer for Berico. We use them to maintain our seven air conditioners for our commercial data center with hundreds of servers, routers and switches. Their techs are always careful in our data center and take extra caution to make sure they don't disturb any of the servers.

Rick Sullivan

Everyone at Berico has been very helpful. Salesperson was very straightforward and knew the product well. Office staff has been extremely personable, yet professional. The installation crew was very efficient. Looking forward to a long relationship.

David MacInnes

We have been using Berico since 1976 and have been pleased enough that we have never changed providers. Their workers have been helpful and competent. We are now on our second furnace and second heat pump and while there have been problems they were all resolved.

Eric Martin

Berico (by way of Alamance Oil in Burlington) has consistently provided immediate service and help with my account when I have needed it.
