In some respects, our northern neighbors with heating systems are luckier than us. They get to give their air conditioners a break for a few months while they switch to heating. In our situation, we can sometimes run our AC systems throughout the entire year, which can really cause a tremendous amount of stress on the unit. There’s no escaping this, which is why it’s extra important for homeowners to invest the time and energy in listening for trouble that’s brewing.

This is really what HVAC is all about, right? Heating and cooling systems are investments, they’re systems that you’re going to hopefully use for the next decade of your life with little to no discomfort.

Last blog post we celebrated Energy Awareness Month and continuing the trend, we’re going to talk about energy bills and how they relate to your home air conditioning. It’s no secret that air conditioners rely on a large amount of electricity coming from your home. So it’s important that we talk about how you feel in regards to your energy bill and some of the trends it might be presenting you with.
We know it’s a little late, but in our opinion, it’s never too late to be aware of your energy efficiency! How efficient is your home? Are you happy with the way that your 
No, we’re not talking about leaf blowers or a box fan, we’re talking about your air conditioner! Sometimes there can be a problem in your AC unit that has nothing to do with the refrigerant or the compressor, and instead the problem persists in your system’s blower motor. The blower is the component responsible for—as the name implies—blowing the cool air into your duct system and throughout your home. Without a blower, your AC would just cool off the air inside of it and it would never reach the rest of your home’s rooms.
When you close your eyes and picture a bigger house with a bigger kitchen, a larger garage, and a huge finished basement, it probably feels good. As Americans, we like things that are bigger. They grant us more space, they give us room to grow and change, and even bigger cars let us go on long road trips with the family to enjoy time together. Having a larger home and larger appliances can be a huge improvement in your quality of life.
Here we are in September. The heat is luckily behind us, and we’ve got some exciting fall activities and weather to enjoy. Maybe you just went coat shopping last weekend, or you’re finally able to have the home to yourself every once in a while with the kids in school. All of this sounds great until we get hit with a heatwave when everyone isn’t expecting it.
Air conditioner neglect is a problem that can be insidious. Anyone who is neglecting their air conditioner doesn’t know they’re doing it, but the effect takes its toll and sooner or later you’re dealing with an early replacement. In terms of cost, neglect can be a terrible problem because it can force you to spend more money on your air conditioner later, than paying minimally for services like maintenance and fast repairs now. Basically, neglect leads to wasted money and an air conditioner that can break down more easily.
When you combine humidity, heat, and air conditioning, what do you get? The perfect environment for mold growth. Normally, when an air conditioner is functioning as it should be, there isn’t really any space for mold. All the moisture gets drained out of the condensate line, and your system can go on working. However, when there’s a clog in the condensate drain or pan, or if there’s another problem causing excess humidity to exist in your home or AC system, then you could see the influx of mold.
We know that when hot temperatures hit our area, it’s easy for our minds to wander towards our air conditioners. We start thinking about the worst-case scenario when our AC might falter on the hottest day of the year. Or, we might start regretting that skipped maintenance appointment that really should have been done during the springtime. What homeowners don’t think about too often, however, is who they’re paying to do these valuable services.
