Although people think of the start of September as the start of fall, the summer doesn’t officially conclude until later in the month.

You don’t want to be trapped with an end-of-season emergency with your air conditioning system, or even a replacement.

Hot Spots in the House: What They Mean for the AC

Monday, September 9th, 2024
thermometers-high-and-low

The greatest benefit of having a central air conditioning system for your home is that you receive cooling in all the rooms connected to the ductwork. If you have the right AC and ductwork in good condition, you can expect an even spread of cooling around the rooms. There may be a few fluctuations, such as in rooms that get more sun exposure, but overall the comfort level should be equal.

But if you start to notice hot spots around the house where there weren’t any before—it could mean something is wrong with the air conditioner or another part of the HVAC system, like the thermostat or the ductwork. We’re going to look at what those hot spots might mean for your HVAC in Crestview.

Don’t Ignore the Importance of the Ducts of Your AC System!

Monday, September 9th, 2024

When you can’t see something in your home, you’re less likely to think about it often. That’s just how the human mind works. 

For example, the ductwork in your house. Most modern homes are built with central heating and air, and this requires having a network of ducts made from materials such as metal, plastic, and ductboard, weaving through the walls and attic of the house to distribute air. You can’t see these ducts, so you might not think about just how important they are.

If those ducts aren’t in good condition, it can mean troubles like high energy bills, poor indoor air quality, and the need for AC repair—or even a full air conditioning system replacement. We’re going to look at the negative effects you may run into if you have faulty or damaged ducts in your home.

Could the Thermostat Be Behind Your AC Troubles?

Monday, August 26th, 2024

The thermostat is a device people often take for granted in their homes. You make adjustments to it when your cooling needs change in the summer, but if it’s programmable you may simply set it and forget it. There’s nothing wrong with that: it’s one of the benefits of having a programmable thermostat in the first place. 

Overlooking the thermostat can be a problem if the thermostat is responsible for a malfunctioning air conditioning system. When you’ve got a faulty AC that’s not turning on, turns on and off too often, runs for too long, or fails to keep the house as cool as you want it, you may need AC repair that specifically targets the thermostat—or even replaces it.

How can a faulty thermostat create AC problems? Follow along below and we’ll explain.
