Your air conditioner works overtime to keep you cool when you need it and beat the heat of Tampa during the blazing summer months. Right now it’s cool enough that it has a bit of downtime. That gives you the perfect opportunity to see how it’s doing before you need to heavily rely on it next season.

It’s time to do a wellness check on your AC to determine whether you need AC repair in Clearwater, FL, or if you’re A-okay until next season. Let’s find out.

November 14th, 2022

Portable dehumidifiers are attractive because they’re cheap, small, and can usually fit on your coffee table. Anyone who has used a portable dehumidifier before knows that the inconsistencies and lack of effectiveness really bring life to the old saying,”You get what you pay for.”

A whole-house dehumidifier offers an intense level of control over your home’s humidity. You can control the humidity in each room of your house, eliminating the need for a portable unit in the first place. Here’s what you need to know.

How Can You Tell You Need Duct Repairs?

October 3rd, 2022

The ductwork of your home’s HVAC system is as essential as its other major components, the air conditioner and the heater. But it often comes in third in how much attention it receives because it remains mostly hidden from sight. You won’t think of the ducts as needing repairs if you can’t easily see what condition their in.

Ductwork does age, however, and it can sustain damage from construction, temperature changes, vermin, and corrosion. You may at some point need to arrange for HVAC duct repair because your old ductwork has developed air leaks and gapping. Ducts that lose air will harm the energy efficiency of the whole HVAC system as well as its effectiveness, leading to steep costs you wouldn’t ordinarily have had to pay. 

We want to help you notice when you’ve got ductwork in jeopardy so you can avoid these troubles. Below are some warning signs that will alert you to possible duct repair needs.

Each summer, your AC goes on a long endurance run as it battles to remove heat from your home. Did it just run its last course and maybe needs to quit?

Because, let’s face it, this was a rough summer to be a cooling system in Florida. Too much heat, too much humidity. A newer AC installation in Clearwater, FL is probably in decent shape and ready for more heat next year (provided it has its annual maintenance appointment in spring). An aging AC may be looking at a wobbly future unless repaired—or even replaced. How can you tell if this summer was too much for your cooling system?

You may be considering getting an air purifier in Dunedin, FL to improve your home’s indoor air quality (IAQ). We think this is a great idea, especially with more people staying indoors because of the intense heat and humidity. We can provide you with information on what types of pollutants an air purifier will remove from your home to help you understand better how these installations can improve IAQ and the general health of the people in your household.

Before we go into what contaminants air purifiers remove, we want to point out what they don’t remove well, which is large particles: dust, pet dander, lint, and pollen. The best way to remove these is with a standard air filter. And that’s a good place to start when looking at the contaminants an air purifier does remove…

Changing your air conditioner’s filters is an essential step in maintaining the entire system. Those filters work to pull out material from the air coming into the system, keeping it from creating clogs and dust throughout your home. Many people don’t replace their AC filters often enough. However, doing so every 1 to 3 months offers a number of key benefits, including keeping your system from overheating and shutting down. If you’re keeping up with air conditioning maintenance, you are not likely to have a problem. If your system is inefficient now, getting air conditioning repair in Dunedin, FL, may be essential.
