The summer weather arrives early in Florida… usually in spring. This is one of the reasons that we recommend having your annual air conditioning maintenance done as soon as possible so that your AC is prepared to handle sudden heat waves that might strike long before the first day of summer.
Early Season Repairs an Air Conditioner May Need
April 4th, 2016Why Is My Heat Pump Stuck in Heating Mode?
March 28th, 2016Heat pumps make terrific comfort systems in Florida: they provide the necessary powerful air conditioning for the long, hot season, and then change over to working as an energy-efficient and safe alternative to a furnace during the short cold season.
Regular AC Maintenance: Protecting the Compressor
March 21st, 2016The last two weeks we discussed spring air conditioning maintenance, and we’re going to address it again this week. There’s a good reason for this focus: routine inspections and tune-ups for an air conditioning system during the spring is one of the best things you can have done to prepare your home for the middle of the year. It’s a huge benefit to you in many ways.
What Does a Technician Do During Air Conditioning Maintenance?
March 14th, 2016Last week we brought up that it wasn’t too early to have your regular spring air conditioning maintenance scheduled. In fact, March is a great time to have this vital job done! It will give you plenty of preparation for the arrival of the summer weather so you can have any necessary repairs taken care of early. You’ll also be ready for whenever a sudden heat wave strikes.
Is It Too Early to Start Thinking about Air Conditioning Maintenance?
March 7th, 2016The winters here in Northwest Florida are short and mild, and that means that while other regions of the country will still encounter cold days during March and into spring, we’re already moving toward warm conditions that will continue to rise steadily through to our hot and humid summers. You’ve probably already turned on your home’s air conditioner a few times so far in 2016, and that means the time has come to consider AC maintenance.
Client Question: How Often Should I Change My Air Filter?
February 29th, 2016Regular maintenance is an essential part of seeing that your heating and air conditioning system works at its energy-efficient best and with the least chance of suffering unnecessary repair problems. Most maintenance tasks require the work of HVAC professionals. However, there’s one important task that you can manage on your own, which is changing the air filter on a regular basis.
Watch for End of Season Repair Needs for Your Heater
February 22nd, 2016The winters in northern Florida are short and mild, and now that it’s late February we can already start to look toward the time when the air conditioners in our houses will turn on and work steadily. However, there are still cool and rainy days ahead, with the temperature sometimes dropping into the 50s. Our heating systems aren’t ready to go into hibernation quite yet, and so it’s smart to make sure that they aren’t suffering from any major or minor repair issues. You don’t want to be caught by surprise when you try to turn your heater on at the end of the year and find that it doesn’t work just when you need it again.
My Heat Pump’s Outdoor Unit Is Very Noisy: Is This Normal?
February 15th, 2016During the mild winters in Florida, a heat pump is one of the best ways to enjoy the right level of indoor warmth without consuming too much electrical power. Compared to an electric furnace, a heat pump can be a huge money-saver.
If you’re currently running your heat pump in heating mode, you might notice odd sounds coming from the outdoor unit. Is it something you need to worry about, and is it a reason to call HVAC repair professionals?
