Is That Sound Coming From My AC?

Monday, April 19th, 2021

Well, first it’s important to take some measures to ensure this noise is coming from your AC and not from somewhere else. Make sure the TV is off, the kids are quiet, and whatever other noise-making devices are off or asleep. If the noise you’re hearing can quite obviously still be heard, and you’re able to pinpoint it coming from your AC or your air ducts, then you’ve got a problem. Luckily, we have a solution!

AC noises are nothing new. Just like an old beater car or a computer that’s on its last legs, a machine will start creating noise when it runs into a problem. Air conditioners are just another system that will screech, grumble, clang, or hiss when there’s something clearly amiss. That’s why it’s important you have a professional around to provide HVAC service in Lake Mary, FL. Our team is experienced enough to handle whatever issue your system is running into.

AC repair in Windermere, FL is complicated, and it’s not something that a homeowner should even try to accomplish on their own.

Is Your AC’s Condensate Drain Clogged?

Monday, December 14th, 2020

Air conditioners deal with moisture in the air as well as the heat. Think about it, the more humid the air is in your home, the easier it is for heat to get stuck and make you uncomfortable. As your air conditioner draws in air and cools it, it condenses the moisture from the air making your home feel dryer and cooler. However, where does that moisture go?

It should go into the condensate drain and get vented outside. If your air conditioning in Orlando, FL isn’t working properly and you’re noticing that there are humidity problems in your home, it could signal that something is wrong with the condensate drain of your system. Humidity issues, mold, and the malfunction of your air conditioner are all signs that your condensate drain is clogged and you’re suffering from an issue. Don’t worry, keep reading and give us a call if you think your system is dealing with this kind of problem.
