Monday, July 3rd, 2023

This is a question we sometimes hear from customers: “Is it possible to purchase used (previously owned) air conditioning equipment as a way to save money?”

We understand why people might think this is an option. After all, you can purchase many items used and get good use out of them, such as cars, exercise equipment, furniture—and homes, of course! Why wouldn’t this be possible with an air conditioning system?

But the straightforward answer to this question is No. No HVAC professional recommends it, and you’ll find it difficult to locate a unit to purchase.

We are big proponents of using whole-house dehumidifiers in Riverdale, GA and throughout South Metro Atlanta. Georgia experiences high humidity during much of the summer, and this humidity not only makes it much harder to stay cool, it can lead to damage to homes due to mold growth, the presence of bad odors, and even health issues because of black mold spores. Arranging with us to install a whole-house dehumidifier will make a huge difference in your house, and not just for comfort.

If you’ve already got a whole-house dehumidifier, you can’t expect it to just keep working year after year without problems, especially considering how much moisture it must remove from your indoor air. You need to take care of some regular maintenance steps and schedule professional maintenance as well.

If you have a heat pump for your home’s year-round comfort, it’s now the season when you’ll switch it over to cooling mode. This is one of the best advantages to having a heat pump: with just a simple adjustment to the thermostat, the heat pump changes from sending warm air into your home and begins sending in cool air.

But what if you turn on your heat pump on the first hot day and discover that it’s either not cooling down the house enough or is still sending out heated air? You may need professional heat pump repair in Covington, GA to deal with the trouble. We’ll look at why you might be experiencing this problem.

If you own or operate a commercial business, you need to know that commercial HVAC requirements are much different from residential ones. This applies even to a smaller facility. Commercial systems must work longer, handle greater volumes of heating and cooling, and deal with a larger number of people.

We’d love to stop this blog post right here and say that you’ve already found the right team—us!
