It’s officially Fall! Now is the perfect time to unbox those cozy sweaters, plan a trip to an apple orchard, and save your pennies for your daily pumpkin-flavored beverage!
But wait!
You might not be able to turn your air conditioner off just yet, and with a number of warmer days still ahead of us, you want to make sure that you don’t put off any outstanding repairs! You see, there are a number of “late-season” AC repairs that homeowners may run into, and we think you should be aware of them. So below, we have listed a number of these repairs — that way, you’ll know exactly when to call us.
So, what are you waiting for? Keep reading to find out more!
It’s kind of like when you say, “Oh, I will just get gas on my way to work tomorrow!” We all know that you aren’t going to want to do it then, so why not just do it the night before and save yourself the time?
New homes are built with efficiency in mind, and for home builders, this means sealing them up as tightly as possible. Sure, this does wonders for your heating and cooling efficiency, however, it can seriously impact your indoor air quality, as tight sealing can seriously limit the amount of natural ventilation in the house. For this reason, it is important that homeowners have the proper ventilation systems in place, specifically heat recovery and energy recovery ventilators.
On, off, on, off, on, off, on, off… you get the picture. It’s called short-cycling, and it is perhaps one of the most annoying things that could go wrong with your AC. Why? Because not only will it dramatically increase wear and tear on the system, but it’ll also put quite a large hole in your wallet.
We get it—letting go of your air conditioner and replacing it with a new system can be a bit overwhelming! But, we are here to tell you that sometimes letting go is sometimes for the better, especially if you’ve got an old, outdated AC!
Finding a great way to keep your home cool during the summer can be a little tricky—there are just so many options to choose from! However, there is one system, in particular, that stands out from all the rest: the ductless system.
We love heat pumps! Why? Because they’re super efficient, highly effective, and have the ability to provide year-round comfort with just the flip of a switch (but, more on that later!) Honestly, we can’t think of many reasons why homeowners shouldn’t be as enthusiastic about heat pumps as we are!
If you own a ductless system, you know how truly great they are — they’re super efficient, highly effective, and can provide year-round comfort with just the flip of a switch! Who wouldn’t want one of these systems, right?
Floppy disks, brick-sized cellphones, VCRs, even DVDs all have something in common: they’ve become obsolete — and for good reason! These technologies, though state-of-the-art in the ’90s and 2000s, have been replaced by newer, smarter devices! The floppy disk has been replaced by the Cloud, VCRs have been replaced by online streaming services, and old, manual thermostats are quickly being replaced my smart, Wi-Fi connected thermostats!
One thing you’ll often hear HVAC technicians talking about is energy efficiency and why it’s so important. Of course, we believe that like us, homeowners should care about energy efficiency too! When your home is energy efficient, you’ll no longer have to worry about costly repairs and sky-high energy bills! So, when summer rolls around, you are going to want to make sure your air conditioner is as efficient as possible.
