The Benefits of an Air Filter Change

Monday, May 18th, 2020

Air filters are seldom what homeowners think of when they think about their air conditioners. While we wish this weren’t the case, homeowners tend to forget that their HVAC system has an air filter to begin with, which is why these components go so neglected in so many homes.

The problem with this neglect is that air filters are actually a vital component of your comfort systems. So much so that they can actively hurt your air conditioner’s ability to cool your home, raise your bills, and lower the lifespan of your system if they’re neglected.

If you’re one of the homeowners who listens to our advice, you could stave off AC repair in Rockledge, FL, and help your system meet comfort goals that make you happy.

Everything You Need to Know About Short-Cycling

Monday, November 18th, 2019

While snowstorms hit our friends up north, we’ll still be struggling with heat and humidity down here. People often say that a dog is man’s best friend, but we’d happily replace that with an air conditioner since an air conditioner can make a hot and humid day bearable.

However, if you’re constantly dealing with a malfunctioning air conditioner, it’s incredibly important to understand the signs of a system that’s on its last legs. One of these signs is short-cycling, which is a process where an air conditioner can’t complete a full cycle and starts causing problems for certain interior components. This can be a life-ending problem for an air conditioner since thorough cycling is incredibly important both to efficiency and correctly cooling air. Let’s see if short-cycling is something you’re dealing with and whether AC repair in Melbourne Beach, FL can solve it.

It’s About Time You Went Ductless

Monday, September 23rd, 2019

Ductless air conditioners are all the rage these days, and for good reason too! They give a custom cooling experience with the small size of their air handlers and the ability to have multiple air handlers scattered throughout a home. Their efficiency and reliability are unmatched by any other air conditioner, and the convenience of having no ductwork makes them perfect for homeowners who don’t want invasive duct installation services, or for people with smaller and older homes that can’t have air ducts installed.

We get it, though. You need more convincing if you’re going to consider getting rid of your central air conditioner. After all, a new air conditioning system is a huge investment, and especially a ductless mini-split which runs even more expensive than a brand-new central air conditioner. So let’s take a quick run through the advantages and disadvantages of a ductless AC in Melbourne, FL so you can make the ultimate decision on whether or not a system like this is right for you.
