As we move toward the season when you’ll start to need your furnace again, there are different things you need to be aware of and pay attention to. One of those things is a job for your nose. Is your furnace causing any odors? If there’s a smell in your home when you use your heating system, is there a serious problem? Maybe, but maybe not. Here’s how to figure it out.
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.
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.
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.
In our climate, air conditioning isn’t a luxury. It’s absolutely necessary at certain times of year for your comfort, and a lack of AC can pose serious health risks. So when something goes wrong with your air conditioner, you have to take it seriously. You can’t just ignore it.
Air conditioner repair is essential when your cooling system isn’t providing the relief you need, or is exhibiting strange symptoms that could lead to a major breakdown. But that doesn’t mean that every AC problem requires immediate action. When is an AC repair an actual emergency? We’ll share some guidelines that might help you make that decision.
Your home’s HVAC system is large and complex. It’s got a heater and an air conditioner. It’s got a thermostat. It’s got ducts to conduct the heated and cooled air throughout your home. It might even have a dehumidifier or an air purifier. So when something goes wrong, it’s not always a problem with the part of the system you think it is.
For much of the year here in Orlando, we use our air conditioners quite heavily. So when we’re not getting the cool air we expect, we’re quick to blame the AC unit. But what if the problem is elsewhere in the HVAC system? How can you tell whether it’s your air conditioner or your ducts having an issue? Here are some clues.
Your air conditioner’s ability to communicate with you is pretty limited. It can’t just say, “Excuse me, I’m not feeling so well.” But it will often make some noise when it’s struggling with a problem. If you’re familiar with the regular sounds of your air conditioner operating properly, you’ll notice when a strange sound comes up.
What do those air conditioner sounds mean? They mean you need AC repair. Here are some of the most common troubling noises and what they indicate.
Temperatures may still be mild for now, but our hot spring weather will be here soon enough. When it arrives, you’ll want to make sure that your air conditioning system is ready to handle the heat. If you haven’t done so already, now is the perfect time to schedule maintenance for your air conditioner.
But what if your AC has been struggling recently? If you’ve found its performance to be less than stellar, and your home comfort and utility bills have been paying the price, it could be time for an air conditioning replacement. Here are the signs that mean your cooling system may not be ready for the lengthy cooling season ahead.
Whether you rely on a heat pump or a furnace to keep your home warm in Orlando during the winter, now’s the time when it may start to show signs that it’s struggling to do its job. This is especially true if you have a heat pump or mini split and it was seeing heavy usage as an air conditioner before you switched it to heating mode.
No matter what type of system you have, let’s go over signs that it may be exhibiting that indicate it’s time for HVAC repair. From short cycling to weak airflow, don’t let your home comfort suffer if your HVAC system is experiencing any of these symptoms.
