I know we are all so busy this time of the year, but it always makes me feel better to do something for someone else. It does not have to be a big thing because every little thing is appreciated by those who need just a little help.
Have you said, “I know there are so many people who need help during the year, but I do not know how to help or who to call”? Now you can stop wondering how you can help someone during the upcoming holidays.
Let us offer just a few suggestions with which some of our employees have been involved:
• Be a Santa to a Senior—Lubbock Meals on Wheels
• Shoes for Orphan Souls—Buckner Children’s Home
• Canned Food Drive—South Plains Food Bank
• Toys for Tots—United States Marine Corps
• Operation Christmas Child—Samaritan’s Purse (Mardel’s)
• Angel Tree—Gifts for children of parents in prison (Ashley Furniture)
These are just a few of the ideas our staff has shared. Make someone else’s holiday just a little happier. Have any other ideas or charities to give back to?

Hello everyone! Just a friendly reminder that daylight savings time ends this weekend. This means that it is time to “fall back” and change the time back one hour. Another fun tip that I’d like to share is that I always check and/or change the batteries in my smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when the time change occurs. This is so important because if you do not have your furnace checked out by one of our professionals, how do you know your heating system is operating safely?
What does a furnace repair and check consist of? (Not the same for electric air handlers) One of our technicians will look inside the heat exchanger and check for cracks. This is very important because a crack in the heat exchanger is the main cause for carbon monoxide. If the exchanger compartments are dirty, he will vacuum it out so the unit burns more efficiently. He will also visually check all other compartments of the furnace to make sure it has no chance of breaking down. The last step the technician performs is the most important and that is checking for carbon monoxide. All of our technicians come equipped with carbon monoxide detectors on their trucks, so that you know exactly what your system is blowing into your home. I could only hit the hight points for this blog, if you want more information go to the help page or call.
Since winter is rapidly approaching Lubbock, do not forget to have your heating system checked by our certified technicians. Go to our contact page and sign up for a furnace repair and check today. Or call 806-749-COOL (2665).

Winter is almost here! Fortunately in West Texas the winter months are not severe, but there are days when it does get very cold.
Here are a few tips from Sinclair to help you stay warm this winter:
1. Make sure you have your heating system checked out by our technicians before it gets too cold. This is very important because when the hard freeze hits Lubbock you don't want to be at the end of a very long list!
2. CHANGE YOUR FILTER(S). "I have a filter?!" Yes, every system needs some type of air filtration system. This is important because clogged air filters can cause a furnace to quit operating. Changing your filter is a quick and easy fix can save you a lot of money in the long run.
3. Insulate outside faucets or pipes. This tip can save you money and is very cost effective. Broken pipes are not cost effective.
