Are Your Ducts in Good Shape for Winter?

Monday, October 14th, 2024

Before you start to regularly use your home heating system for the winter, it’s a wise idea to consider the condition of your HVAC system. That means more than thinking about your furnace or heat pump. You also need to think about the “V” in “HVAC,” the ventilation system made up of ductwork. These ducts are mostly out of your sight, installed between walls and in the attic. 

If you have ducts that are damaged or have air leaks, it can have severe negative effects on your home comfort, energy use, and even the quality of the air in your home. You can schedule duct testing with our team to see if you need duct services like duct sealing or duct replacement in Wrightsville, GA.

How dirty is your home’s ductwork?

Don’t worry if your answer is “I don’t know.” Most people are unaware of the condition of the air channels that run through the walls and attics of their homes because it’s difficult to see inside them. Most of the time, people don’t even give much thought to what’s going on in their ducts.

The ducts in your house are a key part of the HVAC system: you don’t get any circulation of air or heated or cooled air sent to the rooms without it. Unfortunately, the ducts can sustain damage from corrosion, wear, aging, poor installation, vermin and insects, and construction that can create air leaks. 

But are a few holes in the ductwork a big deal? Yes! It’s a reason we offer duct services in Warner Robins, GA to test and seal ducts. Below we’ll go into why leaky air ducts are a problem that requires a swift professional solution.

Humidity and Your AC: What You Need to Know

Monday, July 22nd, 2024
humidity-written-on-window

Do air conditioning systems help with the humidity in a home? This is a common question that people ask HVAC technicians, and it’s especially a concern in Nashville because it can get quite humid during the summer. High humidity doesn’t raise the temperature on a hot day, but it does make it harder for people’s bodies to cool off, and this can mean the indoor temperature can feel 8° to 10° hotter than it is. Not fun!

So, does the AC provide any help in controlling this, aside from lowering the actual indoor temperature? We’ll talk about this below as well as look into a possible solution, installing a dehumidifier in Nashville, TN.

Summer Heat + Fresh Air? An ERV Can Do That!

Monday, July 8th, 2024
energy-recovery-ventilator

When it’s a hot day and you need to have your home’s air conditioning system running, do you keep the windows and doors open? We hope not, since this will cause the AC to waste power as it runs. The air conditioner must work harder to remove the heat from your home as heat is rushing in through open windows. 

Unfortunately, when you seal up your home for the AC, you also seal out fresh air. Modern homes are built so tightly for energy efficiency that they don’t “breathe” much. During a hot summer, you may find your household air becoming stale and dusty because there hasn’t been enough fresh air brought in.

Did you know that there’s a way around this dilemma? It’s called an energy recovery ventilator. We offer installation of energy recovery ventilators in Sandersville, GA, and we’d like to explain how one of these devices can really improve your comfort, energy bills, and indoor air quality.

Is My AC Enough to Handle Humidity?

Monday, May 13th, 2024
humidity-on-window

Humidity, the amount of water moisture in the air, is a well-known enemy of summer comfort. When relative humidity is high (above 60%), it makes it harder for the human body to release heat through perspiration. With more heat trapped in the body, temperatures feel hotter. An 80°F summer day can feel like it’s 90°F. That’s the power that humidity can have over your comfort.

High humidity can create other troubles in a home. All that moisture makes it easier for mold and mildew to grow, leading to a combination of building damage and nasty allergy triggers. Moisture isn’t good for electronics in a home either.

At this point, you might say, “Isn’t my AC taking care of the humidity? After all, it makes the house cooler.” There’s a story to that, as we’ll explain. We’re not only pros when it comes to air conditioning, we also work with dehumidifiers in Maysville, KY, and we can give you the lowdown on your AC and humidity.
