AC or Heat Pump? Choosing the Solution for You

What Kind of AC Works for You?

August 10th, 2020

Let’s take a second to fix a misconception that you might have about air conditioning. Stop worrying about whether or not you’ve got an air conditioner that works, and start thinking about whether it works for your home. What we mean by this is that all cooling systems are not as equal as you might think.

For instance, a central air conditioner that’s brand new in a home with faulty, leaky ductwork is never going to work well. Homeowners might think about having it constantly repaired or replaced, but unless your ductwork is addressed, the problem is never going to get better.

It’s time to change your perspective. What if we told you that an air conditioning installation in Palm Bay didn’t need air ducts to keep your home cool? If you’re scoffing at that sentence, or you’re starting to revert back to “well, my central AC still works,” then keep reading.

When homeowners think of their air conditioners, they like to believe they’ll last as long as they need them to. With enough targeted repairs, maintenance, and part replacements, it should be able to last forever, right? Well, not exactly.

First of all, air conditioners are only built to last between 10 to 15 years. While they might last longer, that’s not always a good thing. Efficiency levels decrease regardless of the condition your system is in. They tend to react to wear and tear by consuming more electricity, providing less cooling power, and overall just doing a poor job. There’s nothing our air conditioning services in Palm Bay, FL can do to fix that.

Except for air conditioning replacement services! If your AC is reaching old age and is becoming a burden on you and your family, our replacement services can give you a brand-new solution to your comfort needs. Keep reading as we discuss just what this service entails.

How can Melbourne, FL HVAC services like the installation of an air filter keep you safe and save you money? Well, let’s get into the details!
