Keep Your A/C Running Cool

Extreme heat is putting extreme stress on your air conditioner. We want to make sure you stay cool and your A/C runs efficiently. 

On extremely hot days it seems as if the air conditioning isn’t working overtime; it’s working all the time. There are a few things you can do this morning to make sure the A/C isn’t broken when you get home tonight.

Step 1: Change the air filter. Dirty filters are the biggest reason for air conditioner break downs. Dirty filters use more energy. They decrease your efficiency by 15%. Dirty coils reduce efficiency by 5%. Don’t know what filter you need or how to check? Give us a call. We would be happy to help you figure it out.

Step 2: Don’t turn the A/C off when you leave for the day. The experts say air conditioners work harder and use more energy to cool your home back down. It’s better to move the thermostat up a few degrees.

Step 3: It may be time to get you’re A/C checked if it runs constantly, feels humid inside your house, there is ice on the unit or it is more than ten years old.

If you have questions please call our professional staff and we will answer any questions you may have. We are here to serve you. We want you to stay cool during these hot summer days.

Choosing The Right AC

How to Choose an Air Conditioning System

Choosing a system can be a daunting task. As a Trane dealer we will help you decide which HVAC system to have installed in your home. When making such a major decision, the first place to start is by looking at the size of the room or home that needs to be cooled. When an air conditioning unit has been sized correctly, that means that the system is large enough to cool the home in any situation but small enough that it is not wasting energy.

We will take the square footage of the home, or other space where the air conditioner will be working, and also look at the exposures of the windows and doors at the same time. If a lot of direct sunlight comes in through the windows of a home, for example, then that has to be taken into consideration when choosing the best air conditioner for the space. In addition, they may also look at how much glass the house has and what direction the home's windows are facing in order to get a heat load estimate that is as accurate as possible.

We will then consider what type of unit is right for your home. You will receive a written estimate and our guarantee of our work.

It’s very important to have a trained professional help you make your decision. Put our years of experience to work for you!

Mother's Day 2016

Mother’s Day 2016 is fast approaching and Mother's day gifts are a quintessential part of the celebrations, but have you thought of ways to make the event unique and memorable? Besides great gift ideas, that include curios, flowers, chocolates, cake and jewelry, there are other innovative ways to make the event special. 

Here is some great ideas for Mother's Day, this year:

Hand Crafted Gifts:

In addition to the traditional gifts you may make the day truly special if you add a personal thought to it. How about making some handicraft items or creative accessories which your mother is certainly going to like? There is a plethora of handicraft items too which make ideal gifts if you opt to send Mother's Day Gifts.

Flowers:

If your mother is not by your side, you can turn to online flower delivery. Fresh flowers are always a great way to say “thank you” and “I love you” Dried flowers can also be used to fill large vases. Choose vases of clear glass that are interesting shapes, and fill them entirely with one specific type of dried blossom to achieve magnitude of scale. If you want to mix the colors, fill a vase with a variety of blooms to match your mom's home décor. The vases can be finished off by tying wired ribbons around the tops in coordinating colors.

From the Kitchen:

Homemade goodies like cookies, chocolate cake etc with a personal message is also ideal for your mother who deserves the best. You could add a personal touch to it with photo or message customization.

We want to encourage you to honor your mother this year on “Mother’s Day”. And remember if you have emergency HVAC needs over the holiday that our 24 hour emergency service is always available!
