24/7 Emergency Service
It’s 2 a.m. You should be asleep, and on any other night, you would be. At the very least, you’d be ready to drift off. But you can’t sleep, because there’s a noise.
It’s a low humming, and you wander the house, trying to trace its source. Did you leave an appliance on? Is someone running the engine of a car outside?
Then you realize: it’s coming from your vents, the sound of a heating and air conditioning system that’s working overtime.
“It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”
How many times have you heard someone trot out that line on a 90-degree day?
It’s kind of irritating, but it’s also true.
Uncomfortable summer days become unbearable when the humidity levels make it feel like you’re walking through Jell-O.
And as bad as it is dealing with humidity outside your home, indoor humidity can pose an even greater problem. Not only is it hard to sleep in a humid home, you’re also at risk for mold and mildew.
Fortunately, there are some things you can do to control the humidity in your home that don’t just involve turning up your heating and cooling system in Bucks County.
“Big things have small beginnings.”
That’s a line from the movie Lawrence of Arabia. In the context of the film, it means that a tiny group of people can affect great change.
But we began thinking about this quote as we set out to write about ac maintenance. Sometimes, what seems like an insignificant issue can lead to a major air conditioning bill.
To be fair, your HVAC system can lose some efficiency as time goes by. And when you’ve had a summer like we’ve had so far, you might be running your air conditioner more often.
We’ve talked a lot over the past few months about the benefits of air conditioning. It’s a marvelous invention, and we’re saying that not as an AC maintenance company, but just as people who enjoy living in a cool, comfortable home.
But as fantastic as air conditioning is, we can’t take it everywhere. And when you’re spending time outdoors during the dog days of summer, staying cool becomes as a matter of health and safety as well as comfort.
With that in mind, we’ve put together these tips for staying cool in hot weather.
No one likes to think that they’re wasting money.
We all take efforts to get a good deal on the things we purchase, to make wise investments, to live within our means.
But sometimes, we throw money away without even thinking about it and without even leaving the house. Take your air conditioner: any AC repair company will tell you that if you’re not using it efficiently, you’re throwing money away.
Here are 10 ways you might be wasting energy – and thus money – at home.
It’s fair to say that air conditioning has reshaped our world. Think about it:
When you bought your home, you knew the right questions to ask: How much space is there? Is this a quiet neighborhood? What are the schools like?
But when it comes to buying new air conditioners, homeowners often aren’t sure what to ask HVAC companies. If you’re searching for a new AC unit, be sure you pose these questions:
Vacations are designed to be relaxing, but they also take some work.
Whether you’re heading to the Jersey shore for a few days or flying across the ocean for a few weeks, your trip is going to involve some level of preparation.
So let’s see…you’ve booked your hotel reservations, you’re all packed, and you’ve arranged for someone to look after your pets.
But what about your air conditioning system? It deserves some time off as well. Here are a few HVAC maintenance steps you should take before you leave for vacation.
Central air is a remarkable thing.
It keeps us cozy during frigid winter nights and cools us on sweltering summer days. There are times where we sit back and wonder how humanity got by without it.
But when it comes to air conditioning, it’s possible to have too much of a good thing. Blasting your air conditioning non-stop isn’t good for you or your energy bill.
