Ice on Your AC? Yes, That’s a Problem!

Monday, April 22nd, 2024

When you turn on your air conditioning system to enjoy cool air for another hot and humid Georgia summer, that air feels crisp and icy as it first hits you. So if you notice ice starting to form on the evaporator coil of the air conditioner, you may think it’s natural. The AC is work hard and doing a good job. 

Except … it’s not!

The truth is that you should never see ice forming on any part of your air conditioner. An AC doesn’t use ice to cool the air, nor should its cooling process create ice. If you do see ice, something’s wrong with the air conditioner, and you’ll want it addressed as soon as possible.

Spring is good news for most people—the weather gets warmer, the days grow longer. But since those warm days will eventually turn into hot days when summer arrives, spring is also the best time to prepare your air conditioner to handle the heat.

Did Your Furnace Just Go Through Its Final Winter?

Monday, February 26th, 2024

When winter starts to wind down, we recommend that homeowners give some thought to how well their furnaces performed through the season. A furnace that had no troubles and is still several years away from its “old age” (we’ll address that more below) will probably have no trouble handling the next winter as long as it has routine maintenance.

But you might be in a situation where you suspect your furnace is becoming old and unreliable. If it is, you’ll want to have a furnace replacement in Forsyth, GA before winter comes around. While your furnace is still on your mind, let’s look into that possibility.

The “V” in HVAC: Ventilation and Why It Matters

Monday, October 23rd, 2023

When it comes to the efficiency of HVAC systems, there’s a component that’s not discussed nearly as often. Sure, you can buy a super-efficient central AC or heat pump, but if the ductwork in your home is in poor shape, you’re paying a lot for a system that doesn’t have a good support system to go along with it. 

That’s why it’s so important to think about the “V” in HVAC, which stands for ventilation. Your ventilation (or ductwork) is how your central AC or heat pump delivers cold air to your home. And when your ductwork is old, damaged, or improperly installed, it can cause a lot of issues when it comes to your home comfort. Let’s look at why the “V” in HVAC is so important.

How to Tell Your Ductwork Is Causing Comfort Trouble In Your Home

The season of giving is just around the corner. Why not treat your home to professional duct cleaning this holiday season? Duct cleaning is an important aspect of home maintenance. Not only does it keep the air in your home clean, but it also ensures the proper function of your home’s HVAC system.

Dirty ductwork is also responsible for numerous home comfort issues. When your indoor air quality is poor due to dirty ducts, it can cause a number of health and wellness issues. Because ductwork is not visible in a home, many homeowners neglect their maintenance when they’re out of sight and out of mind.

Why Won’t My Electric Furnace Heat Up Enough?

Monday, November 21st, 2022

Because we don’t get winters as deeply cold as more northern states, many of our homes can get by through the winter with the power of an electric furnace. Electric furnaces don’t have the heating capacity of gas furnaces, but they can still do the job of providing warmth around a house. They also have the advantage of fewer malfunctions and long service lives. 

But the reliability of an electric furnace isn’t ironclad. You may run into a problem where your electric furnace turns on, but you aren’t getting the usual level of heat from it, even if you crank up the thermostat as high as possible. What’s causing this?
