Do you hear a strange noise? Or perhaps you’ve detected an odd odor? Maybe you’re just not happy with the performance of your air conditioner now, at the end of a long summer of Florida heat. But the summer is ending. You won’t be requiring so much from that air conditioner. Is it worth it to have AC repairs done now, at the end of the season, or can you put that off until next spring? Here’s our advice.
Your HVAC system is like the heart and lungs of your home. If you needed help with asthma or a cardiac condition, you wouldn’t go see just anyone, would you? You’d make sure they were a licensed medical professional. You’d go further than that—you’d insist on seeing a specialist. Why should your home’s heart and lungs be any different?
Many people have a little bit of knowledge about heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Some people even have extensive experience with general building maintenance. But your HVAC system deserves qualified HVAC professionals. How can you tell if a company will be the great HVAC contractor you need? Here’s what to look for.
Sometimes, the reason why an air conditioner struggles or breaks down are straightforward and simple and make perfect sense. Layers of dust caused overheating, as though the air conditioner was wearing a sweater in July. Lack of lubrication between moving parts caused friction and wear and tear. The vibration of the system caused a screw to work itself loose. Logical, right?
Sometimes, air conditioner problems have much more unusual causes. What kind of strange, surprising things can create major problems for your AC system? We’ve got some weird ones to share with you!
Air conditioners have two units that work together as a team to provide the cooling power your home requires: the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. In your home, you’re more likely to notice what’s going on with the air conditioner. And you’re less likely to allow the indoor unit to get covered with mess such as lawn clippings! The outdoor unit might be a little neglected in comparison.
We’d like to remedy that neglect today. We’re going to focus entirely on the outdoor unit for a moment. What’s so important about the AC outdoor unit? What should you be doing to keep it in good condition? We’ve got all the info you need.
Many homeowners enjoy doing DIY projects and putting their own personal touch on their homes. And with the incredibly wide range of how-to videos available online, it’s easy to learn new skills! It’s great if you can give your kitchen a facelift with new cupboard door handles or brighten up your child’s room with a fresh coat of paint.
But there are some things you really shouldn’t try to do yourself. When it comes to your HVAC system, take a step back and let someone else handle your installation, maintenance, and repair needs. Why do you need a professional for heating and AC repair? There are many reasons. We’ll cover the most important ones here.
When you know—or even just suspect—that something is wrong with your air conditioner, it can be tempting to wait and see. Will it be okay for a while longer, so you don’t have to worry about repairs right away? Will it somehow magically fix itself? No! Don’t postpone AC repair. Having a technician check out any air conditioning problems as soon as possible will make a big difference. Here’s what we mean.
Air conditioners can be a little bit finicky. And if something goes wrong, you might not realize at first. One way you might notice a clue that there’s a problem with your air conditioner is with your nose. It’s true! Your air conditioner should not make any odors. If you’ve got a smelly AC, it needs to be repaired. What smells can happen? What do they mean? We’ll tell you.
This time of year, if you’re an allergy sufferer, you’re probably really suffering. There’s a major uptick in pollen during the springtime, especially tree pollen. The humidity is also increasing, and it will continue to do so throughout the summer. This leads to increased levels of other allergens, so even if you’re not allergic to pollen, you may be experiencing allergy symptoms.
All of this adds up to a very unpleasant set of circumstances that make it very hard to enjoy this beautiful time of year. But we’ve got good news for you! There’s no need to keep suffering. If you have allergy symptoms or other respiratory irritation, an air purifier can make you breathe easier and help you to enjoy the springtime.
If you’ve got an aging air conditioner, you may already have realized that it’s not as efficient as it once was. Maintenance, performed by a qualified professional once a year, can keep AC efficiency pretty steady for quite a while. But eventually, even that won’t be enough to prevent the efficiency of your air conditioner from dropping.
Here’s something you might not have known, though: today’s efficient air conditioners are far and away more efficient than even the top-of-the-line systems were when you bought your last air conditioner. Not just more efficient than those air conditioners are now—more efficient than they were when they were brand-new. How are these new high-efficiency air conditioners able to save so much energy? We’ll tell you!
Many things can potentially cause damage to an air conditioner. A storm-flung tree branch can hit the outdoor unit. Water from a roof leak or plumbing emergency can do serious harm to the electrical components of the indoor unit. Some of these things can’t be avoided or prepared for. But did you know that your pets could also be damaging your AC system? This you can do something about. Here’s the info you need.
