Ah, summer. The time of year when air conditioners are put to the test all over the country, and especially in Florida. Hopefully, you’ve already had a professional check out your system for you to confirm that it’s in good shape.

Contaminants get trapped in the house, leaving you to breathe stale, dirty air for most of the day. You need to take steps to improve your indoor air quality if you want to be as healthy and comfortable as possible. One of the best ways to do that is to take a look at quality air duct replacement.

At The A/C Guy of Tampa Bay, Inc., we specialize in all three of these services, which are often in demand due to the Florida heat. In this post, we’ll give a brief overview of each of these approaches, highlighting the importance of each approach as well as when it’s appropriate to use.

May 21st, 2018
If you’re like most folks, you count on your air conditioning system to keep the air in your home cool and comfortable. However, temperature regulation is not enough when it comes to the air circulating through your home. Dust, debris, and other irritants can find their way into your ducts and lungs.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to combat this is the installation of an air filtration system to help keep your home’s air fresh and clean. Not only will you breathe easier, but you’ll see benefits to your overall health.
Always Jump on Air Conditioning Repairs Early
May 7th, 2018
Summer seems to start earlier and earlier every year in our neck of the woods, and even in early May, chances are you’ve needed to run your air conditioner a few times this year already. If your system needs any repairs, now is the perfect time to spot them. In fact, the earlier you can notice problems with your air conditioner, the better. The next time you run your system, watch and listen for signs of trouble, and call in a quality repair service the moment you do.
Is It Time for New Air Conditioning Installation?
April 23rd, 2018Florida summers are long and hot, and chances are you’ve already had to run your air conditioner more than once this year. If you have an older air conditioner that feels like it’s on its last legs, now is probably the best time to schedule the installation of a new system. Doing so lets you take advantage of the benefits of a new system–such as improved efficiency and reliable functioning–before the heat of the summer begins in earnest.
But how can you tell if your air conditioner is really ready to be replaced? Is your system in dire need of being put out to pasture? Or can you keep it running for another few years and get some more reliable use out of it? Ultimately, only you can properly answer that question. There are, however, a few guidelines to help you make up your mind on the status of an older air conditioner. They boil down to the cost of keeping the existing system against the cost of installing a new one.
