Routine Maintenance...a Must
Just like your car, your home comfort system needs routine maintenance to keep it running at its best. Without regular servicing, heating and cooling systems waste energy and are more likely to break down. But with the proper attention, they can keep you comfortable year-round.
What Impacts Your System's Performance?
When it comes to central heating and cooling, product performance and reliability, must relies heavily on the dealer's ability to design and install a system compatible for your home. According to the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA, an elite organization of heating and cooling contractors), there are three major factors that will impact your system's performance: Design, Installation, & Commissioning.
What is Your Air Quality?
You want a comfortable home and peace of mind for your family, but what about your home’s indoor air? A study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that indoor air can actually be more polluted than the air outdoors. Since the EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health, many homeowners are concerned. Contact us today for more information. 573-480-0389
Quote from the DIY network “Before each cooling season, it is recommended that central air conditioners get a professional tune-up. This is the biggest step to preventing major malfunctions in an AC unit”.
Getting The Most Out Of Your HVAC System Check the filters in your HVAC unit. If they’re the permanent kind, they should be cleaned with mild detergent every 30 to 60 days. Replaceable filters should be replaced just as often. For more tips, or to take advantage of our Spring tune-up
Controlling energy costs starts with your thermostat. You can save about three percent of your heating costs for every degree you lower your thermostat during the winter. And for every degree you raise your thermostat in the summer, you can cut cooling costs up to six percent. Just as important, your system's components should have the highest possible energy efficiency ratings.
For qualified improvements, homeowners may be able to claim tax credits equal to 30 percent of the installed costs (up to $1,500). The new tax credits are retroactive to January 1, 2009 and expire on December 31, 2010. The $1,500 limit is for all improvements made during the two-year term, rather than $1,500 each year.
Summer has finally hit and now you are spending more time indoors with the air conditioner on. You have the thermostat set and are feeling pretty good until you realize that its getting hotter inside. Before you know it, it is 90 degrees in your house and you are calling the air conditioning repair company. What a disaster. The sad thing is that this could have probably all been prevented with a little maintenance.
You can save as much as 10% a year on your heating and cooling bills by simply turning your thermostat back 10% to 15% for 8 hours. You can do this automatically by installing an automatic setback or programmable thermostat.
One of the best ways to cut your air conditioning bill is to keep your AC coils clean and running efficiently. You can cut your energy costs by up to 30% with yearly cleanings. You also save on costly service calls for frozen up units with preventative cleaning to ensure you are running at 100% efficiency.
Oversized furnaces and air conditioners cost more than right-sized units. Oversized equipment frequently operates less efficiently, too, because it suffers from short cycling. An oversized air conditioner often shuts down before it's had a chance to wring much moisture out of the air, compromising comfort.
