It’s obvious that a brand-new air conditioner will perform better than an old one that’s been running for many years. But it’s not simply the age that would make a difference. Even when the AC units manufactured 10-15 years ago were brand new, they weren’t as good as what’s being made today. These days, new air conditioners are better than ever because there have been advances in the technology they use to operate.

But it’s not just air conditioners that have changed. The thermostats available today offer amazing benefits. Here are some things you’ll enjoy if you upgrade to a smart thermostat.

Heat Pump Not Switching to Cooling Mode? Here’s How to Fix That

Monday, June 12th, 2023

There are a variety of benefits to having a heat pump. For one thing, they’re very energy-efficient, which is a benefit to both the environment and your wallet.

They can also be much quieter than traditional central AC units. But the thing that truly sets heat pumps apart is their ability to switch between heating your home and cooling it, simply reversing the flow of refrigerant to either carry heat into your home or carry it out.

If your heat pump was set to keep your home cozy during the winter, you’ve had to switch it back to cooling mode by this time of year. But what if you tried and it wouldn’t work? What if your heat pump just won’t cool your home, and is stuck in heating mode? This can happen on occasion and we can explain it to you.

“Can My AC Still Perform in Extreme Heat?”

Monday, May 2nd, 2022

Given where we live, the question of extreme heat and how it plays a role in our air conditioning use is understandable. An air conditioner can only be so powerful, right?

Well here’s the good news–your air conditioner is literally designed to handle high heat. And depending on how efficient of a cooling system you have, yours might not ever struggle.

The not-so-great news is that the average air conditioner cannot cool effectively beyond about a 20° range to what the temperature is outside. This means if the temperature outside is in the triple digits and you’re setting your thermostat to 72°F, you’re probably going to be disappointed–and your air conditioner is just going to keep running as it tries to reach the temperature you set on the thermostat, which is really inefficient.

Aside from this temperature differential, there are other problems that high heat can cause. We’ll explore them below, but first we want to share our #1 tip to ensure that your air conditioner can indeed face this next summer of high heat!
