Taking Care of Your AC: Our Checklist

July 19th, 2021

We hesitate to use the phrase “maintenance,” since professional maintenance is much different from what we’re about to talk about. This is more focused on simple upkeep for your system that we recommend homeowners take part in. No, we’re not asking you to open up your air conditioner and start making fixes, but you’re definitely going to need to roll up your sleeves a little bit and take care of your system.

For instance, your air conditioner has an air filter that needs to be replaced monthly. We recommend that homeowners perform this filter replacement, so it’s important that you know what you’re doing. Also, there are some cleaning methods and quick DIY techniques that homeowners can perform on a daily basis to improve comfortable temperatures and energy efficiency in their homes.

These practices can even help stave off pesky AC repairs in Denton, TX when performed right and regularly!

Upgrade Your AC for This Important Reason

May 24th, 2021

How much do you know about refrigerant? If you’re a savvy homeowner, you might know that refrigerant is the substance that your AC uses to transfer heat from the inside of your home to the outside. Or, you might just be comfortable knowing it’s in your AC and it just “helps” with the cooling process. Regardless of how involved you’d like to be in the cooling process of your AC, it’s important to know what refrigerant is.

That being said, do you know what type of refrigerant your AC uses? Now we’re getting into the juicy part of this blog post. Different air conditioners utilize different types of refrigerant, and if you’ve got an older system there’s a small chance that it uses R-22 refrigerant which was phased out in 2020. This is important to remember, so you’re not surprised when you call for air conditioning repair in Plano, TX and a technician tells you how obscene the price might be for a refrigerant recharge!

Don’t Forget About These Air Purifier Benefits

May 10th, 2021

There’s a lot of strange information going around these days. We get misconceptions from homeowners all the time about how ineffective air purifiers are, or how they “don’t compare to washing your hands and covering your mouth when you cough.” We don’t understand these kinds of comments because we’re big proponents of doing a combination of all these safe practices together with the help of an air purifier.

Air purifiers in Garland, TX are not the be-all-end-all solution for contaminants. While they systematically remove and eliminate contaminants from the air, they’re not going to replace washing your hands with soap and water, covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze, or the other safe practices you utilize. Rather, we’re here to talk about the benefits that come from using an air purifier together with all of the other safety protocols you’re aware of. Only then, will your home be that much safer against viruses, bacteria, and other biological contaminants.

How Maintenance Helps Prevent Repairs

April 26th, 2021

This might seem a little weird but bear with us. Maintenance is a separate service from repairs and we often have to remind homeowners that they will absolutely need both of them throughout the lifespan of their air conditioning system. However, they’re not completely independent.

Repairs can sometimes seem like a vicious cycle. Once one thing gets fixed, you run your air conditioner until something else breaks, and the cycle repeats until it’s too old to fix. This is what it’s like when you don’t invest in maintenance. Maintenance can actually be a way to deter AC repair in Garland, TX, give your system a leg up, and minimize costs over time. Basically, think of yearly maintenance as a miniature, low-cost repair that fixes all the problems that might be starting in your AC system.

Still confused? Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through exactly why maintenance prevents repairs and expensive issues down the line.

What Goes Wrong in a Neglected Commercial HVAC System?

April 12th, 2021

Neglect is a harsh word to use. When it comes to pets, our kids, or our elderly parents, neglect is one of the last things you want happening. While we definitely don’t mean it in that context, we don’t want business owners to get complacent because their commercial HVAC system doesn’t need to drink water or eat food. Your HVAC unit needs a lot of attention, even if it’s just enough to keep it running year after year.

We get it, your establishment has more important things to be concerned with. You’ve got customers to attend to, expense reports to get done, and you’re maybe even looking to expand your business! But all of this might come to a grinding halt when your commercial heater breaks down. Our team can help you achieve the best results for the lowest cost and amount of time when it comes to commercial HVAC in Frisco, TX.

Don’t Let Your AC Make These Noises

March 29th, 2021

Air conditioners aren’t supposed to make any noises, except for the sound you normally hear when it’s working perfectly. This can range anywhere from the whooshing of air gently coming from the vents, to the creaking of your air ducts as they expand and contract due to the sudden temperature change. If you hear anything other than these few noises, our team can help.

However, the problem with air conditioner noises is that homeowners actually have to notify us when they suspect something is wrong. We don’t live in your home (we’re sure you probably already knew that) so we can’t tell when your AC is making a noise that signals the need for repair. Only you can make that decision, and tell us when you need help.

So, let’s help you discover when you need AC repair in Frisco, TX by combing through the various noises your system could be making.
