Back in the day, all you needed was a window unit air conditioner and a family friend to help you install it. While we might remember those days with fond nostalgia, the way we dealt with heat was pretty pathetic. When the worst heatwaves hit us, we’d just have to deal with it or suffer the exorbitant energy bills to come while our window units barely cooled our homes down. Luckily, we don’t live in this world anymore.
AC technology has come a long way since then. Air conditioning in Gainesville, FL especially has become more environmentally friendly, efficient, and effective at cooling our entire homes. This is important because it means you can no longer just hire a family friend to take a look at any problems in your system. You’ll need the help of a trained professional!
So, what big leaps have air conditioners taken in the past two decades? Let’s investigate.
Air conditioners, while being durable and able to last far into their second decade of life, are delicate on the inside. It’s always a bad idea as a homeowner to open up your air conditioner and take a look inside. This can void your system’s warranty and also make things worse since only a trained and certified HVAC technician has the tools and experience to make sure nothing is broken or scratched when taking a look inside.
An air conditioner that smells bad is likely to do more harm than good at this point. If the system is responsible for depositing cool air into your home, that cool air should smell fresh or at least odorless when you breathe it in. Any foul odors should be investigated and dealt with—full stop!
If we’re certain about one thing this spring, it’s that customers have a lot of questions about the condition and functionality of their air conditioners. People are tightening their belts (literally and figuratively) while they get ready to save up for that vacation or find ways to afford that second car. This means homeowners are focused on running their air conditioners well this spring, and hopefully we can help!
Springtime is just around the corner and you know what that means! A little bit of spring cleaning here, some warmer weather, and preparing for the scorching temperatures that are just around the corner when summer inevitably hits. We’re in the HVAC industry, as you know, so it’s our job to remind you when spring maintenance is upon us. We’ll get into why this is important to do now, down below.
Insulation goes overlooked far more often than it should. While insulation on its own can still be a benefit for your HVAC systems in your home, we want to stress the important factor that it can lower your cooling bills and keep your AC system running efficiently for longer. If you were unaware of the fact that 
Heat pumps are all the rage these days, while we think there are benefits to all types of air conditioners, there is some truth to the rumors. Ductless air conditioners, or mini-splits as they’re called, these powerful systems are an effective and efficient alternative to those who don’t want extensive ductwork installed in their home. Just because your home is too small or too old for air ducts to be installed, doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from high-quality cooling!
As we say often in the industry, we’re living in a ductless world nowadays. Ductless air conditioners are all the rage and for good reason! They’re highly efficient when it comes to energy usage, as well as a few perks that central air conditioners don’t have. However, it’s only right for us to be honest about why it’s necessary to contact a professional for ductless installation. A lot of homeowners think they can set up their 
If you’ve ever talked to an HVAC pro about your air filter, you’ve probably heard the advice to change it out every month or so. Or if you have a higher quality filter, perhaps every 3 months.
