When bigger is NOT better
If your home never seems to be cool enough during the summer, it’s probably not because your air conditioner is too small. When it comes to air conditioners, bigger is definitely not better, and a little on the small side is usually just right. That’s because an air conditioner has to remove humidity from the air as well as cool it. If the unit is too big, it will cool the air too quickly and shut off before it can control the humidity. The result is a cool but clammy house—an environment only mold and mildew would love.
Is it time to retire your A/C?
If you have had a problem getting and keeping your home cool in past summers and you have been having it serviced at the start of each cooling season, then it could be that your air conditioner is ready to retire. And since air conditioners today are a lot more energy efficient and easier on the environment than they were just a few years ago, it makes sense to upgrade an older unit with a new, more efficient one. Call us today for more information on how you can save energy and money with a new air conditioner.
Don’t blow your cool
If you think your air conditioner needs more coolant, don’t top it up yourself. Refrigerant handling should always be left up to a licensed, trained technician, and topping refrigerant up without properly fixing the leak is illegal in most areas. If you need cooling, call us today.
