While our friends and family in the midwest and northeast get ready for chillier days by scheduling heating maintenance and making sure their homes are well insulated, we’re still using our air conditioners on a pretty consistent basis.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t invest in heating maintenance too–you should–or that you won’t benefit from proper insulation–you will–but the fact is we have to give extra attention to our cooling systems.

That said, did you notice this past summer and fall that your air conditioner was struggling a bit? Maybe it’s just not keeping you as cool as it used to, or it’s running in short bursts instead of regular cooling cycles (this is called short-cycling). Read on to learn about some signs that it may be time for you to upgrade to a new air conditioner!

Here’s How to Tell if Your Commercial AC System Is Struggling

October 18th, 2021

If we had to guess the very last thing you need right now as a commercial property manager or a business owner, we’d say it’s a “broken down air conditioner.” While this is a major inconvenience in a home, it can be a full-on disaster in a commercial space, leading to the loss of business and worker’s comp claims if you have employees in the space.

You have enough to think about when you are running a business to worry about your air conditioner. This is why commercial HVAC maintenance is so vital–it helps you avoid 85% of the urgent repairs the system may ever need in its lifetime.

If you haven’t scheduled commercial AC maintenance in a year, it’s not too late! The only time it’s too late is if the system has broken down beyond repair and you actually need a replacement.

In the meantime, regardless of how diligent you are about maintenance, it’s a good idea that you and other building occupants know the designs of a commercial air conditioner in distress. Read on as we uncover what some of them are.

“Does My Air Conditioner Dehumidify My Air?”

September 27th, 2021

If you’ve lived in Northwest Florida for even just one summer, then you get that humidity is a major concern when it comes to home comfort. Even the mildest of warm days to us can still feel sweltering when the relative humidity level is high enough. This is because the higher the moisture levels in the air, the easier it is for heat to get trapped in the body. Basically, too much humidity makes you feel hotter than it actually is, because you can’t sweat it out!

Humidity creates other problems too. It encourages the development of mold and mildew, as well as other bacteria, and can cause water damage to surfaces. But if you have an air conditioner in your home, you may think that this won’t be a problem–that the air conditioner is a natural dehumidifier.

While this is true–that your forced-air cooling system does have dehumidification properties–it needs a little help. Read on to learn more!
