AC efficiency is one of the highest priorities from our perspective. If you’re paying too much for your air conditioner, then one of the following things is going on—
- You’re dealing with a problem in your air conditioner that needs to be repaired by a professional.
- You’re paying too much for monthly energy costs because the system isn’t running as efficiently as it should, due to old age or missed maintenance.
- Your air conditioner is running incorrectly, and a few changes in lifestyle and behavior could help it run smoothly.
Today we’re going to address all of these points and most importantly give you a few tips that could help you achieve higher efficiency levels. Some of these are simple tasks like changing your air filter and turning the thermostat up, and others are calling us to schedule air conditioning repair in Walnut Creek, CA.
Let’s get to it!
As the peak summer season continues, the temperatures are only going to get hotter. Having a properly functioning air conditioning system that can fulfill your cooling needs is a necessity if you want to stop the hot weather from ruining your week. If it is time to invest in a new air conditioning system, you might be wondering whether you should stick with the good ol’ central air conditioner or invest in a different cooling solution.
It’s not quite the summer season, which means that our air conditioners aren’t getting the constant use that they will experience in a few months. This is a good thing, because it’s a brief moment where our energy bills are lower and we can actually enjoy the nice weather without feeling miserable from the scorching summer heat. That being said, as much as you don’t want to think about your air conditioner, it’s the best time to. You’ll want to get it maintained and, if necessary, fixed before the summer hits—and believe us, it’s going to hit hard this year!
That’s a very good question, and something that we’re honestly trying to get homeowners to think about more. Heaters aren’t meant to last forever, but we would never want you to replace your heating system before it actually needs to be replaced, right? After all, you want to have your heating system run for as long as possible, just like you would a car or a phone. If it’s worth over a thousand dollars to install, then you really should try to get your money’s worth.
Think about all the blog posts you see, the ads on your computer, and the commercials on TV that talk about how to tell you that you need to see a doctor. While it might sound like a silly question, it’s 100% serious. How can you tell that you need help from a professional? This is a point that we want to address head-on in today’s blog post regarding your home comfort system.
It can be very expensive to deal with a heater that’s constantly on the fritz. Many homeowners believe that this is just the necessary cost of having heat in their home, but there’s another way to deal with this. If more people called for quick repairs, repairs done by a licensed professional, and maintenance on a yearly basis, heaters wouldn’t cost as much money to fix as they do. By the time we get to repairing them, oftentimes they’re in such bad shape that the fixes we make run up a pretty high bill.
Duct testing is an important service that we offer, but so many homeowners just don’t take advantage of it when they should. With the amount of money we spend on energy to have our heaters and air conditioners treating the air in our homes, the least we could do is ensure that our ducts are in good condition.
Heating season is upon us! We may still be getting warm days every now and again, but before too long you’re going to be using your heating system to stay warm on a regular basis. Before we get to that point, however, it’s important that you take steps to make sure that your system stays healthy throughout the season. One of the best ways to do that is to schedule heating maintenance. Have a look below at some of the reasons why it’s best to schedule heating maintenance.
