Air conditioning is very critical in a climate like ours. It’s not just a luxury. It’s a matter of basic comfort and, in some cases, safety. And if you own a business or a commercial property, a lack of good, reliable AC can be catastrophic. After all, would you like to sit in a hot restaurant with no AC in Louisiana in July, or spend an hour browsing in a sweltering shop and spending lots of money? Of course not!
In order to make sure you have the best performance from your AC at your business or building, you need HVAC service you can always rely on. What key qualities should you look for in a great commercial AC contractor? We’ve got some recommendations for you.
Your air conditioner is meant to create cold temperatures, right? Absolutely. But here’s the thing: sometimes, ice develops on an air conditioner’s evaporator coils. Since people expect their air conditioner to be very cold, they might think this is perfectly fine. But it’s not! An icy air conditioner is a sign of a pretty serious problem that requires repair, or it will get worse. Here’s what’s going on.
If your heat pump is struggling with a problem, it needs repair right away. If you put off getting the repairs your heat pump needs, you’ll end up with bigger problems: poorer performance, higher electric bills, more serious repair needs, and more. So you have to spot the signs that your heat pump is in trouble right away. What are the signs of a heat pump in need of repair? Read on to find out.
If you don’t have a lot of experience with heat pumps, but you know they’re often recommended as a replacement for air conditioners, you might have some questions. How exactly does a heat pump work? What makes it different from an air conditioner? Is a heat pump a better choice? We’ll explain everything.
As we head into another hot Louisiana summer, it’s important to have an air conditioner that’s ready to perform under all that pressure. So you should always keep an eye (and an ear) out for any sign that your air conditioner needs repair. If you catch a problem early, you’ll be able to avoid an AC breakdown and a hot, sweaty wait for a technician.
Some signs of an AC problem are obvious: if it’s making a terrible grinding noise, stopping immediately every time it starts up, or simply not providing the cooling power you need, it’s very clear that you need repairs. But what if you’re less sure? A dripping sound from your air conditioner might cause you concern. Is it really a problem? What could be wrong? What should you do?
Having a brand-new air conditioner for the start of a long, hot Louisiana summer is going to be wonderful. Your timing couldn’t be better. But when’s the last time you went through the process of having an air conditioner installed? It may have been many years. You might never have done this before! In that case, you’ll have some questions.
What are the steps in AC installation? How long will it take to get your old system out and your new one up and running? What can you do to prepare for your AC installation, so that it goes as quickly and smoothly as possible? We’ve got all the info you need right here.
When your air conditioner needs repair, it really is best if that repair gets done as promptly as possible. That prevents a small issue from worsening, or from causing strain to the rest of the system. But it isn’t always obvious when your air conditioner is starting to struggle. So how can you make sure to get AC repair promptly enough? By spotting the signs that your air conditioner needs help. Here are the top 4.
Anywhere you look, whether it’s a blog like this one or your air conditioner’s owner’s manual, you’ll be told to change your AC air filter regularly. Most of the recommendations say it should be done once a month during the summer, and at least every few months when your air conditioner is running less of the time. But you’re not always told why!
In our experience, people are more likely to do something if they understand the importance of it and what could happen if they don’t. So we’d like to tell you all about what your AC air filter does, why it needs to be changed, and what can happen if you don’t change it.
When a baby is on its way, we want everything to be perfect and ready to keep this precious little being as safe and comfortable as possible. And there are so many things to think about! What are the recommendations for safe sleep? What kind of diapers will be gentlest for the baby’s delicate skin? But we don’t always remember just how much of an impact the air in the baby’s environment will have.
Is the temperature just right for the baby, and does it stay consistent enough? Is it excessively humid? Is there mold? What allergens, bacteria, or viruses are floating around in the air in your home? There are 3 types of HVAC systems you should be paying close attention to as your baby’s arrival approaches. Here are our recommendations.
