Are you limping along with a less-than-ideal air conditioning system? Have you been thinking, well, I’ll survive with it like this for another summer or two? Are you concerned that the benefits of upgrading your air conditioner won’t be worth the cost? Here are three reasons why it is absolutely worth it.
A lot has changed with air conditioners over the past ten or fifteen years. If you’re still running an older model, you may not even know how much better life could be.
Your air conditioner was manufactured with all the refrigerant it should ever need completely enclosed in its system of coils. But sometimes, due to damage or deterioration, a coil can be breached and the refrigerant can leak out of the system. A refrigerant leak is a serious problem. We’ll give you the lowdown on why it’s so serious, as well as how to tell if it’s happening to your air conditioner.
It’s that time of year again! Your air conditioner is going to start working very hard very soon. It’s important to do whatever you can to keep it happy, so it won’t poop out during a serious heat wave. There are a few things you can do to make life easier for a hard-working Texas air conditioner. Here are our summer maintenance recommendations.
As the weather gets gorgeous and we start planning more outdoor activities, it’s easy to forget some of the things that should always be on our springtime to-do lists. But when spring turns into summer, and we need to cool off after those times outdoors, we’ll be relying on our air conditioners to bring us some much-needed relief. But will they be ready for the hard work of a Texas summer? There’s one way to make sure. Getting AC maintenance done should be at the top of your to-do list before the weather gets hot. Here’s why.
It’s that time of the year again! Spring has finally arrived, and as the weather begins to warm up (or at least acts like it will), we recommend you think about getting your air conditioning system checked and tuned up. Or don’t just think about it—actually call us to schedule air conditioning maintenance in Lubbock, TX or the surrounding areas. After all, you don’t want to wait until the first hot day of the year to discover that your AC isn’t working properly. With maintenance, you’ll have your air conditioner prepped and in the best condition for any heatwave that may strike in the summer.
The average individual probably doesn’t think very much about the air ducts snaking their way through their home, and this is logical. After all, ductwork is mostly hidden from view for a good reason. Homeowners shouldn’t really have to think about the condition of their air ducts too often, but from time to time they do need attention.
While you certainly do not need to understand all the “ins and outs” of your ductwork, there are a few things we would like to share with you about how dirty ductwork can impact your overall indoor air quality (IAQ).
Our professional duct cleaning services ensure that the air ducts that move air through to your living space each and every day is clean and breathable, and contribute to good HVAC efficiency. Read on to learn more!
Many folks still don’t realize this, but there is a singular alternative to having both an air conditioner and a heater, in one system. It’s the heat pump system! And one type of heat pump system is a ductless air conditioner (and heater). These systems are highly efficient at keeping your home nice and cool in the summer, and warm during our brief but chilly winters.
Choosing the right HVAC system for your home may seem like a daunting task. There are, after all, many great options to choose from. We advise speaking with a trained professional before you make a final decision. We’ll be able to guide you to the best choice for your specific home.
Not all homes are the best setup for a ductless system, but when we say that we mean it might not be the most efficient option for you and there may be something even better. This is why we really encourage our customers or potential customers to talk to our staff to learn more. Read on as we uncover some of the benefits of this system!
We have all heard someone, or perhaps even a so-called expert repair person, talk about the refrigerant in air conditioning systems needing to be replaced or recharged every year. It is spoken about as the fuel that keeps the air-conditioner running. They would be wrong. Air conditioners use electricity for energy, not refrigerant.
Your air conditioner is manufactured with enough refrigerant to last the life of the unit. Loss of refrigerant fluid is not part of the normal operation of an air conditioner. JD’s Prompt Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning will provide air conditioning service in Lubbock TX to help diagnose and repair leaks.
Imagine you’re in this scenario: you are sitting in your home, relaxing. It’s about 85°F outdoors, but that’s fine! Your AC is blasting away, providing your whole home with the chilled air that makes you feel perfectly comfortable. Until, suddenly, you don’t feel that cold air anymore.
You rush over to the thermostat–the settings seem to be correct… the thermostat seems to be working okay.
So you check the circuit breaker next–did it trip? No, it’s fine. So, what’s happening?
You decide to call for emergency repairs. It’s going to take a bit though because everybody is calling for AC repairs right now. All of the sudden, your nice, relaxing afternoon turned into a frustrating and hot one.
Below, we’re going to dive into 1–how this might be prevented to begin with and, 2–what signs you should watch out for that your AC is struggling, before it just stops working altogether. Read on!
First, we need to clear something up. When we talk about “sizing” an air conditioner, what we mean is finding out how powerful an air conditioner is necessary for your home to provide the specific amount of cooling for your space.
If you’re in the market for a new central cooling system for your living space, then the system has to be properly sized so that it provides the home with the comfort level your household needs during our hottest summer months.
But sizing is about so much more than the actual physical area of the air conditioner–it’s about how much power it outputs. And too powerful of a system can be just as detrimental to AC efficiency as a system that isn’t powerful enough. Read on to learn more!
