Monday, December 16th, 2019

Incorrectly sized air conditioning units are more common occurrences than we’d like to see.

For those of you who are unsure whether or not your AC is the right size, take a look below at some of the tell-tale signs. If it’s starting to look like something is amiss, call our team for air conditioning service in Melbourne, FL.

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.

Don’t Falter, Change Your Filter!

Monday, November 4th, 2019

There are a lot of rumors going around about what the air filter does inside of your air conditioner. While it is an important component of the cooling process, the air filter doesn’t do what many homeowners think it does—and this can cause some huge problems when it doesn’t get changed as often as it should.

We like writing about air filters because they’re a quick solution that can make your air conditioner function much more efficiently, without the need for an HVAC service professional. Air filters can be changed by homeowners and are often a great first step before calling a service professional for AC repair in Indiatlantic, FL.

However, knowledge is power, and in such a warm and humid climate like ours, it’s generally smart to know some information about how your air filter works and why changing it can be such a good idea.

Monday, October 7th, 2019

As with every industry, the newest and hottest appliance always garners the most attention.

If you’re in the market for a new AC installation in Indian Harbor Beach, FL then you’re going to want to pay close attention to the major differences between the two.

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.
