Summer is on its way, and you’re likely excited about the season. However, intense heat is one part of the summertime that people don’t tend to love. Thankfully, hard-working air conditioning systems make dealing with the heat much easier.

Before the hottest days arrive, we want to talk to you about your malfunctioning air conditioning system. What, it’s not malfunctioning? We can still talk about it, because if you do run into an AC acting oddly, you might shrug it off if it doesn’t seem like it’s ruining your comfort.

A strange noise, lower airflow, rooms that are hotter than others, the AC shutting down at odd times or turning and off too frequently–you might think you can delay worrying about these problems. This is never a good idea, and that’s what we want to talk about.

One of the most important jobs to have done for your air conditioning system before the summer heat arrives is to schedule AC maintenance with our professionals. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring that your air conditioning works at peak efficiency and cooling performance throughout the summer. It also helps prevent repairs and extends the service life of the unit. 

There is a vital maintenance task you’ll need to do on your own, however, and it’s a job many homeowners forget—leading to some costly consequences for comfort and money! It’s changing the air filter on the HVAC cabinet. You may need to do this several times during the summer, and we want you to get into the habit of doing it. Regular filter changes mean fewer AC troubles and lower bills.

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

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.

We recently discussed the benefits of choosing a high-efficiency air conditioning system for your next installation, looking at how these units consume lower amounts of power to produce quality cooling levels. This brings up another question, however, which is how this efficiency is measured.

A few years ago, we’d have a basic response to explain the AC efficiency measurements universally used in the HVAC industry. But times have changed and we now have a new system in place. It’s not as complicated as you may fear, especially if you weren’t familiar with the previous system. As part of the air conditioning service in Conyers, GA we provide, we’d like to go through the current efficiency measurements for air conditioning systems.

Got a Dead AC Compressor Before the Start of Summer? Here Are Your Options

April 15th, 2024

One of the best reasons to always schedule air conditioning maintenance in spring is because it will catch problems before the hot weather begins, giving you time to correct them. One of the biggest problems a technician may discover during an AC inspection is that the compressor has failed. If you didn’t know about this ahead of time, you would have turned your cooling system on during the first hot day and gotten … room-temperature air. No cooling at all! 

The compressor is one of the most important parts of an AC: it’s where most of the energy used to cool a house goes. The compressor is also an expensive component. It’s costly enough that when it fails, the conventional wisdom is that the whole air conditioning system needs to be replaced. Is this always the case? Let’s look at the options you’ll have when you’ve got a dead compressor
