Saving money is a common New Year’s resolution, but many people don’t look at all the ways they can be saving around the home. Budgeting for groceries and entertainment is a start, but why not also focus on how to cut back on monthly bills and leave more money for what you really want?
This year, make a resolution to save money on the systems you use every day!
The winter holidays are almost here, and you want to make sure you, your family, and your guests will be as comfortable as possible. We want to help you do that—without worrying about your air conditioner breaking down in the middle of your holiday dinner and without spending too much.
For more information or to schedule a maintenance session for your AC system before the holidays are in full swing, give us a call. Take a look at our list and learn how you can feel more comfortable all season long.
It’s one of the most common fixes our AC technicians make. A failed capacitor affects the performance of the entire AC system because this is part of what makes it run. If you run into problems with your air conditioner’s capacitor, don’t despair; call local technicians to get the job done. And learn more about this part in the guide below.
In some parts of the country, large holiday meals with lots of people allow homeowners to shut off their heaters completely, as the heat from the kitchen provides enough comfort. In other parts of the country, a heating system is in full force during the holiday season.
But in Florida, we’re still running the AC during the holidays, dreading the extra heat from the kitchen and the warmth of all of those bodies. To keep your family comfortable, you may decide to turn down the thermostat to an extreme temperature—perhaps turning it all the way down to the 60°s.
The “off-season” in Florida is that time of year when we don’t really need our air conditioners anymore—at least not all the time. We probably don’t need the heat on for long hours either, and we might even open up the windows and forget about using up energy on air conditioning for a while.
We may have some temperature spikes here and there. But on those days when the weather is just right, there are a few tasks you can take on that will improve your overall efficiency for the time you do need your air conditioner more often.
Your air conditioning system has the ability to make your home downright chilly, so you might not be surprised to see ice developing on the inside portion of the unit. For an appliance that uses refrigeration, this might appear to be a normal part of operation.
However, ice on the coil is never a good sign. It’s a common problem that results from a number of issues within an air conditioner, and you must resolve the problem so that your air conditioner can operate as usual once more.
Searching for a new home comfort installation can be stressful. Most people are not very familiar with the HVAC industry, especially since you only need to shop for new home comfort systems every ten years or so. And that means you may not be familiar with modern efficiency ratings or upgrades available today. Make the process easier by following these tips.
We’re used to stormy weather here, and many of us don’t even worry about walking outside without an umbrella in the rain or putting on a hoodie. Still, the rain can affect our homes in ways we don’t really think of. And stormy weather may be affecting your air conditioner, and as a result, the structure of your home.
