Your ducts, like your piping, act as a necessary delivery system that ensures the cool air your AC creates gets to where it needs to go.

The only time this isn’t the case is when you have a ductless system—but that is a subject for a different blog!

If you have ductwork or any kind of ducted system, you will need to ensure that this system is in prime condition to keep your home comfortable. That’s why we want you to learn a bit more about our duct services in Dublin and how they can help your comfort.

How Your Ductwork Could Be Costing You Money

Monday, October 25th, 2021
duct-sealing

What is the condition of your home’s ductwork? You probably don’t have an answer to this question because you can’t see most of the ducts in the house. They’re hidden in walls, ceilings, and the attic. That makes it easy to not think about the ducts much at all, as if they won’t change over the years.

But ducts can suffer damage, sag with age, and have troubles due to poor installation. This can lead to the ducts having air leaks. These air leaks are how your ducts could become costly for you—seemingly small problems that turn into energy thieves. This isn’t a rare occurrence, either. Many homes unknowingly have leaky air ducts for years and don’t realize they’re paying more to heat or cool their homes than they should.

We want to help you stop leaky ducts from gobbling up money. Below we’ll look into the trouble with leaky ducts, how to detect them, and what to do about them.

Humidity Is Bad News in Summer for More Than One Reason

Monday, May 24th, 2021
humidity-on-window

Although we’re used to thinking of humidity as an all-around negative, that’s not true. In fact, during a cool winter day, a rise in humidity takes the edge off the colder temperatures and makes it easier to stay warm. Humidity also keeps skin moisturized and prevents dried-out sinuses.

But these are all winter issues, and we’re now at the end of spring, with temperatures and humidity on the rise. Nobody likes high humidity in the summer! 

You can’t do much about high humidity levels outdoors, but there are solutions to help inside your home. Central AC repairs in Conyers, GA from our technicians can help an air conditioner get better control over humid conditions, and we also offer installation of powerful whole-house dehumidifiers that allow you to balance humidity at the perfect spot between too humid and too dry.

Clean Ducts Can Make a Difference

Monday, April 26th, 2021

Duct cleaning is an important aspect of property upkeep, ensuring the proper function of your home’s heating or cooling system. Any issue with the ductwork may lead to several issues that might disrupt proper cooling or heating, making you call for early maintenance or repairs. 

Essentially, air duct cleaning intends to make sure the air inside your home is pollutant-free and the required temperature. An HVAC company may clean your system’s air ducts by providing services such as pre-inspection of the ducts and debris removal from the heating and cooling system components. Additionally, it may also include a post-cleaning inspection and run-through of the system to ensure the cleaning was successful.

Fresh Air in Winter, Without the Cold? There’s a Way…

Monday, February 1st, 2021

Fresh air is good. We all know this because we were told this since we were children. But it’s harder to get fresh air into a house today than it used to be. Modern homes are built “tight” to increase energy efficiency: less heat gained in hot weather, less heat lost in cold weather. But this tightness traps air indoors and keeps out a fresh breeze that can sweep away the stale, sometimes muggy indoor air. 

If you want fresh air in your house, what can you do? Opening the windows is the obvious way—but right now it’s winter. You don’t want to let the chill outdoor temperatures into the house, which will force the heater to work longer to warm the rooms up again. 

So are you simply stuck during the winter with a closed-up house? No, there’s a workaround. Actually, an installation. It’s called an energy recovery ventilator and it can make a huge difference for your indoor air quality and energy savings.
