You’re probably pretty good at spotting the signs when a person isn’t feeling well. Coughing, sniffling, fever, stomach symptoms, aches, and pains can be pretty obvious. And of course, most people are able to describe how they’re feeling.
But your air conditioner can’t tell you what’s wrong, can it? You have to be able to spot the symptoms of AC problems. One of the best ways to do this is with your ears. Listen for these telltale sounds.
It’s been about fifty years since most newly-constructed homes in the US started to be built with ductwork to accommodate the central air conditioners which were becoming so popular. But these systems were a little slower to catch on in northern regions which were less dependent upon air conditioning, and in New England in particular, many of our houses have been standing for much longer than fifty years. If you want to install a central air conditioner in your home, you might encounter some challenges. High velocity AC systems might provide the solution.
Air conditioner issues, especially when they happen during a heat wave, are extremely unpleasant. When an AC unit starts acting up, the first thing you’ll worry is that it’s going to break down completely and leave you sweltering. In some cases, getting an immediate repair can mean the difference between continuing to have air conditioning and having to replace the unit entirely. But how do you know whether your problem is one of those cases? We’ll give you some pointers to help gauge when an AC issue calls for emergency repair, and when you can safely wait for a scheduled appointment.
As the summer heat is starting to hit, and you’re turning on your air conditioning for the first time in several months, you might realize that it’s not working as well as it should. Does your AC unit need repair? Or is it past that point, and you should replace it? Here’s what to consider, and a handy metric for making that determination.
If you’re not satisfied with your heating or cooling system, or they’re aging and you know you’ll need to consider replacement soon, it’s time to learn about your options. The more knowledge you have, the easier it will be to make a choice for your home that you’ll be happy with for years and years to come. One excellent HVAC option is a mini split. We’ll give you all the info about it so you can decide if it’s the right choice for your home.
If the time has come to consider water heater replacement, you’ll want to know what all your options are so you can determine which water heater system is ideal for the needs of your home and your family.
One of the first ways to narrow down your options is to decide whether you want a tank or tankless water heater. How will you choose? They both have benefits and drawbacks.
We’ll give you the rundown of the differences between the two systems, so you can consider what will work best for you.
What a relief that spring is finally here! With all the beautiful weather and outdoor opportunities, it can be easy to forget the important tasks that should be done this time of year. If you have a heat pump, scheduling maintenance for it should be at the top of your to-do list. And yes, that’s true even if you had maintenance in the fall.
Oh no! Something’s wrong with the kitchen sink! Should you call a plumber right away? Well, maybe. But there might be something you can try yourself first. We’ll go over the common plumbing problems that plague kitchen sinks, give tips for resolving some yourself, and point out when plumbers are necessary.
Springtime is technically here (even if it doesn’t quite feel like spring yet this far north) and as always, we’re encouraging our customers to schedule AC maintenance early rather than waiting until it’s hot enough that you need your air conditioner.
What’s that you say? You’re thinking about skipping AC maintenance this year? Let us tell you about all the things you should expect to happen if you don’t have your annual air conditioner maintenance done.
Have you heard about smart thermostats? You might be wondering if they’re the right choice for your home, when you should consider getting one, or how they work. We’ll cover all of that.
