3 Things to Consider with New Air Conditioning Installation

Monday, April 2nd, 2018

HVAC-system-installationIf your air conditioner is on its last legs, now is the time to get a new one installed in your home. Spring has officially arrived, and summer won’t be too far behind. Hot temperatures seem to come sooner every year, and often linger well into the fall. If you have an old, worn out air conditioner in your home — one that struggled to do the job last summer and might not be up for another marathon of temperature control — replacing it with a new one can provide a number of benefits.

New air conditioners tend to turn much more efficiently: cutting down on monthly bills, reducing the chances of breakdowns and giving you the peace of mind that comes with reliable service. A good technician can ensure that your new system is functioning as effectively as possible, and ensure that your home is covered for high temperatures the moment the thermostat starts to rise.

Get Air Conditioning Repairs Before a Breakdown

Monday, March 19th, 2018

air-conditioner-upgradesWe’re moving out of heating season and into cooling season, and that means your air conditioning system is going to be put to increasingly frequent use over the next few weeks. Soon enough, you’ll be running it every day in order to keep your home cooling in the face of stifling temperatures, and in order for it to do that, it needs to be in peak running condition. The last thing you need is a sudden AC breakdown just your thermometer clears 100 degrees.

A good air conditioning repair service can move quickly and take care of issues with consideration and care. But frankly, you don’t need to wait for a breakdown to treat an issue with your air conditioner. Jumping on a repair issue early can save you a lot of trouble, and likely a fair bit of money as well.

Tuesday, December 19th, 2017

air-conditioner-upgradesWinter is all but here, with cold temperatures in the forecast for the foreseeable future. That means your air conditioning system is probably the last thing on your agenda right now, shelved in favor of focusing on your heating system and other components to your home pertinent to wintertime comfort.

That doesn’t mean you should forget about your air conditioner, however. Surprise heat waves are not uncommon in the winter, and when the warm air arrives for good in March or April, you want your system to be ready to handle it.  That starts now with a little judicious planning.

Packaged HVAC Units Provide Many Benefits

Tuesday, October 24th, 2017

rooftop-commercial-acA packaged HVAC unit is a unit that places all of the components of your HVAC system in a single unit. This differs from the more common and popular split HVAC systems, which divide components between indoor and outdoor systems. You often see packaged HVAC units on the roof of commercial properties, and most of the time, packaged units are exposed to the elements. That can make them more vulnerable to wear and tear, and damage (when it arises) tends to be more extensive than it might with a more traditional unit. That said, there are still a number of benefits for packaged HVAC units, and if you’re thinking of installing one, you would do well to consider them. They can include, but are not limited to, the following:

Businesses Benefit from Rooftop Commercial AC

Monday, July 24th, 2017

rooftop-commercial-acTexas summers are hot and brutal, which means air conditioners are an absolute necessity on a daily basis. Indeed, they’re as important to your home as plumbing and electricity during the hot summer months, and the same is doubly true if you’re operating a business or managing an office space.
