Simba opening her birthday presents with her sister looking on!
This week we celebrated a special birthday for Simba! She opened her present (beautifully wrapped in the Walmart bag!)
She was kind enough to share her stuffed animals with her sister, Shade!
Dad (Mike) got her dog ice cream for her treat! We (Karen and I) passed on the option of sharing the ice cream with her!
Call now for service for your furnace! Karen or I will be happy to schedule it! 770-736-5207
Have you ever tried breathing through Saran Wrap?
Long past time to change the filter!!!
That’s a comparison for when your filter is clogged solid. We can’t expect our HVAC system to be able to send out air when it can’t get through a solid wall of dirt and debris.
Obviously, that is only one of our maintenance steps for our Club members but it’s something homeowners need to do between their 6 month appointments. Sometimes, when you have numerous pets that shed a lot, it should be monthly! If you take out your old filter and can’t see light from the other side, you need to change your filter more often!
Also, some older homes have additional filters located away from their units! Call us so we can help you keep your system running safely and efficiently!

I know we have carbon monoxide detectors installed. I work at Wall Heating and Air Conditioning. My HVAC/furnaces are checked for safety every six months like a good Club member. However, we can never be too safe for our family. We have one on each of our floors. In September, my CO detector started squealing every 60 seconds at 1:00 in the morning…Oh yes, that was very convenient. I was so lazy I covered my head and tried to drown out the noise until I got up in the morning…I knew that a short squeal means that the batteries needed to be changed. So I got up the next morning and changed the batteries. It kept squealing then I saw a sticker inside my alarm that said after 5 years to replace the CO detector. I didn’t know they had a life span.
Since then we have had a couple of our Club members saying theirs was going off and their furnaces weren’t that old. I had forgotten about the CO detector lifespan until Karen asked how old the CO detectors were. We found that their CO detectors had reached their lifespan.
If your gas furnace is over 8 years old and you haven’t had service, please be sure you have us come out and do a thorough inspection to be sure your furnace is safe!
Remember the holiday’s are fast approaching and we want to help ensure that they are as safe as we can help make them for you.
If you are one of our Club customers (thank you!) or used us for repairs in the past, we are in the process of mailing out our Winter Gas Furnace Maintenance reminder postcards!
If you are in Lawrenceville, Lilburn, Loganville, Snellville or any where in Gwinnett County, give us a call at 770-736-5207 to schedule your appointment!
For all you runners out there, the Gwinnett Animal Shelter sponsored a 5K on Saturday, October 12, 2013. They are planning to do it again in the spring of 2014. The turnout for the first one wasn’t the largest but it was very well planned and manned. Debbie’s son, Paul and granddog, Winchester came in second! Congratulations!!!
You can friend them at Run Fur Their Lives on FB!

Happy Fall Y’All!!!
Now that the cooler weather is upon us?! I’m not sure if this statement is true but today we are having a high of 74. Of course, this summer was more of a fall. Now we are moving into the winter and it’s time to get our furnaces/heatpumps/air handlers ready for the cold winter. We here at Wall Heating and Air Conditioning are offering our fall maintenance for $79 each unit!
Some things to consider for the fall from Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services:
As a rule, your alarms should be checked at least monthly and the batteries changed out twice a year. A good way to remember is to change the batteries in your smoke alarms when you change your clocks with the beginning or end of daylight saving time. Daylight saving time ends November 3rd this year.
Maintain your alarms regularly by keeping them dust-free and testing them as part of your home safety plan.
Place at least one smoke alarm on each level of your house, especially outside bedrooms and at the top of staircase landings. These areas give you the earliest alert about a possible fire in your home.
Replace smoke alarms that are 10 or more years old.
Carbon monoxide detectors have a life span. I found this out the hard way. Mine was going off every 60 seconds in the middle of the night…
Call today 770-736-5207 to schedule your fall Furnace, Air Handler or Heat Pump maintenance visit! We service, Gwinnett County, Buford, Flowery Branch, and Monroe, too.
Happy Fall! We know the kids started back to school and it’s almost time to start gearing up for the holidays!! I did say ALMOST!

Wednesday, we found a dog behind our office. His name is Bugs! Apparently he was missing since Friday. He had a tag on his collar for Heartgard – Getmehome.com but that information wasn’t updated. Then he had a rabies tag from 2009. It said Auburn Animal… When we Googled it came up with Hoschton Animal Hospital. They were very nice and said it was from Auburn Animal Hospital. We called them and were able to get Bugs home.
Just a reminder to all us animal owners, check to make sure that your animal has some identification on them so you can bring them home to you! We are certainly checking!
With all this rain that Atlanta is getting, a major concern is mold.
Here is information that HUD puts out.
They also have a Healthy Home Brochure that you might find interesting.

I know you are familiar with ants but did you know they can shut down your air conditioning unit? We can’t tell you the amount of times this happens. Our technician gets out there and finds an army of ants inside that have taken the system down. This issue is easily prevented! Spray for ants around your systems. It’s very easy and a lot less expensive than the repair bill!
We also encourage you to keep the weeds, grass and tree debris away from your HVAC system! One stray branch can ruin your fan!
There are numerous reasons why your AC is not performing the way it should. Now is a great time to ensure that your home is ready for summer. For air conditioning repair in Lawrenceville and Gwinnett county, call Deb or Karen at Wall Heating and Air today at 770-736-5207!
Garden Update: We weed whacked half the corn down this past weekend. The weeds had overtaken the poor corn. I laid black plastic down to kills all the weeds. I’m going to cut holes in the plastic and try corn in those spots. It’s all an experiment! With all the rain obviously the weeds are growing great. Afraid the potatoes will be water logged and not grow.
