An Air Conditioner Requires This One Thing

Monday, April 4th, 2022

As the summer heat is on its way and we’re living our best lives here in Florida, there’s a very important topic that we need to cover. Your home is going to depend very heavily on air conditioning in Orlando, FL, so the more we can help you achieve peak performance and high efficiency, the happier we’ll be.

Your air conditioner isn’t going to work very well if all the conditioned air it creates ends up leaking through ductwork, broken windows, open doors, or skylights. This is something we see every year: a homeowner with a brand-new air conditioning system that is run into the ground due to unsuspecting air leaks all over the home.

Insulation is key, and no air conditioner is going to run efficiently without it. While homes might be less insulated here because of our mild winters, it’s still an important task that we want to help you with.

Why Our Estimates Are Valuable

Monday, March 21st, 2022

“Can’t someone just tell me how much an air conditioning installation or HVAC repair in Orlando is going to cost?”

Unfortunately, it’s not that simple and we understand your frustration. We do the best we can to accommodate all of our customers. When inaccurate estimates start to shake a customer’s trust in the process, then something is wrong. That’s why we take the estimate process very seriously.

An estimate is a way that we try to figure out how much a service is going to cost, without actually performing the work yet. It’s a method of communication with a customer. We might not know the source of the problem is until we start working on it, but we want homeowners to know how much that work is going to cost before they sign up for it.

A Faulty Thermostat Needs Professional Attention

Monday, February 21st, 2022

For such small components, thermostats really do provide us with a huge amount of support. When we need to communicate our comfort needs to our HVAC systems, we do it through our thermostat. The numbers represent the temperature, and we set it based on how we feel. Think of your thermostat like the translation device between your large, complex HVAC system and yourself. Without it, your comfort will get lost in translation and your HVAC system could run rampant.

Luckily, thermostats have improved tremendously in the past few decades. Thermostats in Orlando, FL are now smart operating and built with Wi-Fi capabilities. They can sync up to your other smart home devices and be voice-activated, touchscreen-activated, and they’ll even learn about your heating or cooling habits. If your thermostat is showing signs of age, then now might be the perfect time to get professional attention.

Target Foul Odors With an Air Purifier

Monday, February 7th, 2022

Air purifiers are amazing technological advancements. Back before we mastered ultraviolet light technology, we needed to rely on cleaning the surfaces in our home to stay healthy and safe. Back then we had more smokers, more toxins in the air, and to top it all off, we didn’t know how bad these toxins were for us. Now, we have all the data we need to know that there are contaminants floating around in our air and we have the technology to fight them.

Today, we want to talk specifically about foul odors. When you pick up a strange scent in your home, your nose goes through a very interesting biological process to target the source of the odor. With an air purifier in Orlando, FL, you can more easily remove the source of a contaminant that your nose has picked up on.

Let’s get to business and talk about how an air purifier removes odors.
