Spring is here, which means that warmer temperatures have arrived and you’re probably making more use of your air conditioner in order to keep your home comfortable. That trend will continue as spring turns to summer, and any unusual activity with your air conditioner needs to be addressed now, before the mercury in the thermometer rises too high.

We tend to focus on temperature control for our homes here in Fredricksburg, TX, and for good reason: heaters are as vital in the winter as air conditioners in the summer. But that’s not the only aspect of home comfort you need to pay attention to. Humidity levels here in Texas — both high and low — can be brutal, and while you should be rightly focused on your HVAC system for keeping your home comfortable, you can take steps to address ambient moisture levels as well. Luckily, there’s a great way to go about it, with help from a lot HVAC service technician.

Here in the heart of winter, any problems with your furnace system are cause for concern.

A zone control system is an upgrade to your HVAC system which provides a number of benefits without having to replace your entire heating and air conditioning array. It consists of a series of shutters placed at strategic locations in your duct system. Each shutter can be controlled separately, allowing you to raise or lower the temperature in individual rooms or sections of the home independently of the rest. Considering how unpredictable the weather can be here in Fredericksburg, TX, that precision of control can be quite a relief: allowing you to set one temperature in one room and another in a second room without having to compromise on either. But zone controls can be far more than a luxury: helping your entire HVAC system out in ways both subtle and obvious.

Every home in Fredericksburg, TX should have such a system in place and keep it well maintained. But technology in this field advances like everything else, and if you’re still relying on older fire and smoke alarms, then you might be missing out on some enticing advances.

With proper installation, it provides a number of advantages over more traditional smoke and CO detectors, which can make a huge difference in an emergency.

Your electrical system is one of the most important components in your home, but also one of the most dangerous. Frayed wires, loose connections and similar problems can crop up almost anywhere in your home, and the dry air in Fredericksburg, TX can make that worse. Without proper repairs, it could short out important appliances or even start a fire. Only a trained, licensed electrician should conduct repairs on your electrical system, but before that can begin, you need to notice that there’s a problem. The sooner you can spot signs of electrical trouble in your home, the more quickly a professional can get the issue fixed. Among the signs to watch for are the following:

In an environment like Fredericksburg, TX, where summers are humid and winters dry, it makes sense to have both a humidifier and a dehumidifier working in your home. They act as different sides of the same coin: one removing excess moisture from the air, and the other adding moisture when the air is too dry. The issues are similar but distinct, and each one demands a specific response to treat. Here’s a quick breakdown on the differences between the two systems.

Fall officially arrives this week, but most residents of Fredericksburg, TX know that warm weather will continue into October and possibly beyond. Your air conditioner, already handling a daily workload for months, will be under more pressure than ever to perform as summer comes to an end, and that means it’s very important that you ensure you regularly change the filters on your system. Ideally, they should be changed once a month, but you should do so no less often than every 2-3 months. It’s easy enough to perform yourself, and you can purchase replacement filters at your local hardware store or home improvement center. (In fact, it might be a good idea to stock up on extra filters so you have them on-hand when you need them.) But why is it so important to do so?

Many homeowners in the Fredericksburg, TX area get their water off the civic grid, from private wells and other sources. It’s often necessary, and it allows the homeowner to address issues directly instead of relying on the city to take care of it. But private wells come with their own array of issues, and when problems crop up, the homeowner is tasked with taking care of them. The good news is that the right plumbing service can do wonders for your home, especially when it comes to specific components either present in your plumbing system already, or ready to be installed should you feel it necessary.

We have a lot of rural homes in the Fredericksburg, TX area, which means a lot of homes that aren’t connected to any civic water grid. These homes usually use well water or similar sources to provide for their families, which means they need to ensure that their system is maintained the right way. We strongly recommend using a water softening system if you use well water. It will improve the quality of life in numerous ways as well as preventing wear and tear on your pipes.
