Ductless HVAC systems aren’t new technology, but they only recently started to become popular in the US after they conquered the Japanese and European markets. Ductless AC and heating is extremely useful for those locations, where residences are either too small or too old to have ductwork in them for central heating and cooling. 

Using a ductless heat pump for both cooling and heating a home may be the best choice for your home’s HVAC plan, or it may be useful as an addition to a standard HVAC system. 

We’re experts at installation and servicing ductless HVAC systems in Maysville, KY, and today we want to give you a basic primer on how they work.

Thermostat Strategy for an Energy-Saving Summer

Monday, July 22nd, 2024

The thermostat on the wall of your home has a basic job: turning the air conditioner and blower fan on and off. But like most devices that appear “simple,” a thermostat requires strategies a bit more complex than just “on” and “off.”

For example, if you just turn the AC on when you feel hot and off when it gets too cold, you’re probably wasting energy needlessly, not getting the most ideal comfort situations, and placing too much stress on the AC. This can end up in bills that are too high, extreme temperature swings, and even damage to the AC that can require air conditioning repair in Maysville, KY or even an early replacement.

Let’s talk thermostat strategy for getting ahead of these problems. Don’t worry, it’s not too complicated! Follow us from a strategy session below.

The Reasons an Oversized AC Is a Problem

Monday, July 8th, 2024
blown-away

When you install a new central air conditioning system for your home, one of the most important decisions to make is the size of the AC. This doesn’t refer to its physical size, but the amount of cooling power it can provide. If an air conditioner is undersized, it won’t be able to cool the house enough to reach the target temperatures on the thermostat. 

But what about an oversized AC? That doesn’t sound so bad—having too much cooling shouldn’t be a problem. 

Unfortunately, you can’t err on the side of being too big with an AC. An oversized air conditioner will create many problems. If you plan on an air conditioning replacement in Maysville, make sure you work with professionals like ours so your AC will be the exact size it needs to be.

Why You’re Paying More to Run Your AC Than Before

Monday, June 24th, 2024
money-blown-around-in-air

The summer heat means you’ll run your air conditioning system on most days—often for several hours. All the electricity that goes to powering the compressor of the AC will mean a rise in your electricity bill. That’s simply an unavoidable effect of summer weather if you want to manage to stay cool in your home.

But you may find that your summer electricity bills are much higher than you expected. They don’t match how much you’re using your AC. What could be causing this? Below, we’ll look at the most common causes of an AC becoming a power-waster.

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.
