Ready or not, summer is headed our way, and when you live in Jacksonville, FL, that means a lot of heat and humidity. A good air conditioner can help keep your home cool, but there’s more to a comfortable household than cool air.
As the weather heats up more and more, it may be time to ditch that older, ineffective energy hog of an air conditioner and replace it with a high-efficiency AC system. And today, you have so many options from which to choose.
A ductless mini-split system is an air conditioner (and heater) unlike any other system because, as the name implies, it does not require any ducts. Many homes in our area do not have any ducts in place whatsoever.
Replacing an air conditioner is never an ideal situation, but neither is a broken down system in the middle of summer, or a unit which consumes far more energy than it should. In some cases, replacement is simply a better option than repairs.
Most homeowners don’t put a lot of thought into the way an air conditioning system works. And why should they have to? You have access to complete home cooling at your fingertips; all you have to do is program the thermostat. But without a basic understanding of how an air conditioner runs, you may end up accidentally forming habits that contribute to the decline of your system over time.
Spring is here, which means the weather is really heating up. When you have a broken down AC, you want it fixed fast, so many homeowners resort to calling on the help of friends or family members or attempting repairs by themselves. But so many technicians have seen the negative impact a botched repair can have.
If you own a heat pump in Daytona Beach, you have one of the most efficient systems available in our area. We don’t use heaters too often, nor do we usually leave ours on for very long when we do need heat. This is why it makes sense to have an air conditioning and heating system in one: a highly efficient heat pump.
In the warmer months (or most of the year here in St Augustine, FL), your energy costs may seem to skyrocket. Running an air conditioner can be expensive, so if you need a new air conditioning system, you’re probably looking for something that won’t break the bank from month to month.
Today’s air conditioners can run extremely efficiently if you purchase a model with a high efficiency rating and schedule regular maintenance with a technician. That said, air conditioners generally consume more energy than many of the other appliances and fixtures in your home. When an air conditioner is in need of repair, it’s often due to electrical problems.
