Evaluating an AC Problem

Monday, January 23rd, 2023

Air conditioners are built to last, but lasting for a decade or more doesn’t come without a few hitches. There’s a good reason why professional AC repair in Melbourne, FL is common, and that’s due to the fact that components sometimes run into problems. We rely heavily on our air conditioners, so it only makes sense that after a few years, there’s something that needs to be fixed.

Well, that can be tough when you’re a homeowner with little to no experience with the interior components of your system. Also, the moment you open your air conditioning system up just to take a look at what the problem might be, you could be voiding your warranty and losing potential money in the future. So, what can you do?

Evaluating an AC problem from a homeowner’s perspective is tricky, but it can be done properly. Keep reading to learn how you can analyze the issue with your AC while figuring out what to do next.

What Does AC Maintenance Give You?

Monday, January 9th, 2023

We pay for a lot of things in our lives. Sometimes, it can be hard to keep up with the sheer amount of payments we need to make per month for things such as mortgages, utilities, subscriptions, services, and even things like student loans.

Is It Time to Replace Your Commercial AC?

Monday, November 28th, 2022

As a business owner, life is just easier with a commercial AC unit you can trust. We’re talking about trust in multiple forms–trusting that it won’t break down, trusting that it’s running efficiently, and trusting that no matter what your customers, employees, or clients demand, it will reach the desired temperature setting. That’s real comfort, and a great HVAC system should be able to provide it for you.

For Central AC: Size Matters!

Monday, November 14th, 2022

Our team provides custom air conditioner installations for both residential and commercial customers. In both cases, we need to perform what’s called a “size-load calculation” before we can even figure out what kind of system to install. This test takes into account the full air volume of the space, as well as the air pressure and other factors that might require an AC system to cool more air. Things like high ceilings, (if we’re providing an AC installation for a church, this is usually an important factor to consider) but also the length of your home, the different rooms, and what spaces are unfinished and finished.

This is essentially the first roadblock that customers run into when they’re thinking about getting their central AC installation in Palm Bay, FL done by an amateur. Friends or amateurs might be cheaper for this work, but they likely don’t have the tools that we do to perform such a necessary process for your new system.

The Shoulds and Should Nots of AC

Monday, August 8th, 2022

We wouldn’t say that there’s a “right way” to run your air conditioner, but there are definitely more energy-intensive ways you can use your technology. For instance, keeping a light on all day while you’re not in the room is what we would usually consider a waste of energy, even if it’s not that big of a deal when it happens once in a while.
