3 Major Benefits to AC Maintenance

Monday, June 13th, 2022

We talk a lot about the importance of AC maintenance on this blog, but sometimes we can get lost in the weeds. An HVAC professional can focus so much on telling customers to invest in AC maintenance, that they can forget to talk about why it’s so important to schedule this kind of service. After all, for many customers, a quick online search is the only method of obtaining this kind of information, so we need to switch our focus and talk about three major benefits of maintenance.

When you think of AC maintenance in Columbia City, IN, you probably think of an unnecessary service—something that you can invest in if you want to feel good or pay for a pro to just “check things.” The truth is much more complicated.

Maintenance is a valuable service, and there are three specific things we’d like to mention today that make it totally worth it.

FAQ: Major AC Problems That Require the Professionals

Monday, September 2nd, 2019

Homeowners are often scared of touching their furnaces or boilers because of how dangerous they can be- but as with any HVAC machine, there can be dangerous problems with your air conditioner as well! Often not as explicit, because let’s face it, a machine that cools is a lot less dangerous than a machine that heats things up. (Nobody is every scared to touch their freezer, but they’d be crazy to touch their stovetop!)

Dangerous problems from an air conditioner can be a lot more insidious than your boiler or furnace. Problems like refrigerant leaks, mold, and an overheating compressor, can still cause major health problems for you and your family if you’re not careful. If any of these problems sound remotely familiar, contact air conditioning service in Syracuse, IN as soon as possible.

How Often Should I Change the HVAC System’s Air Filters?

Monday, May 29th, 2017

pleated-air-filterLast year we wrote a tutorial post about how to change the air filter in your HVAC system. As a brief reminder of why this is important, a clogged air filter can cause the following problems for your air conditioning and heating system:

  • A significant plunge in energy efficiency because the blower motor must strain harder against the obstructions in the filter.
  • Potential damage to the interior of the HVAC system because of dust and dirt infiltration.
  • A general decline in comfort around the house because there will no longer be sufficient airflow.

A question we often hear from customers is, “How often does the filter need to be changed?” We’re glad people ask this, because there’s a misleading belief—one we’ve seen too often wandering around the Internet—that the air filter only needs to be changed once a year. Nothing could be further from the truth! In some cases, an HVAC filter needs to be changed as often as once a month.
