The air ducts that act as a path from the air conditioning system to your living area are so important to your home comfort. Of course, without them, cool air would be unable to distribute to each of the rooms. But even a small issue within the ductwork can make a huge difference in your comfort.
What You Should Know about the Air Ducts in Your HVAC System
August 3rd, 2015The Benefits of Upgrading to High-Efficiency AC Equipment
July 27th, 2015There comes a time when any air conditioning system has to be replaced. Often, homeowners don’t replace their AC systems until they break down completely. But replacing the system ahead of this circumstance can save you a lot of trouble and greatly reduce your energy bills. If your older air conditioner is on its last legs, we highly recommend calling for a replacement before it stops cooling entirely. Here’s why.
AC FAQ: How Big Should My Air Conditioner Be?
July 20th, 2015Too many installers don’t take the time to truly consider a home’s needs before putting in an air conditioner. Experienced technicians know that the size of an air conditioner can have a major impact on its performance, the efficiency of the system, and its lifespan. So if you’re considering a new air conditioner, make sure that you find a qualified technician to take care of the work. Here’s why this is such an important question, and why it can only be answered after a visit from a technician.
The Pros and Cons of Ductless AC Units
July 13th, 2015Ductless air conditioners are manufactured just like conventional air conditioning systems but with one major benefit: no ducts! If you don’t have any ducts in your home, it can be difficult to keep cool. Window AC units are often inefficient and rarely do a sufficient job of keeping the whole area cool. That’s why we recommend durable ductless air conditioning systems: so you don’t have to settle for less than you deserve. Take a look at some of the many advantages to these systems (and when another solution may be a better choice).

Have You Considered Installing an Attic Fan?
June 15th, 2015While fans alone cannot cool a home, they do serve a couple of important purposes. Ceiling fans move air around, which allows you to feel a lot cooler and run your air conditioner for less. This keeps your bills low and prevents wear and tear on the parts of your AC. One other type of fan that you may not be as familiar with is an attic fan, which may be just as important in keeping you cool. Find out how in this short guide.
