Why Your Heat Pump May Be Underperforming This Summer

July 25th, 2022

We love heat pumps in Tampa because they offer the right combination for comfort all year: they perform as powerful air conditioners during the long summers, then switch over to energy-efficient heaters for the shorter stretches of cold weather.

Right now you probably have your heat pump running most days, cooling down your home. But if you’re reading this, you must have run into some trouble—your heat pump isn’t keeping up and your home is getting too warm. We can offer you the heat pump service in Tampa, FL that will get your heat pump back to work or else find a heat pump to replace it. 

Before you call us, look over some of the possible causes for an underperforming heat pump below.

We’ve talked before about the warning sounds from an air conditioner that will tell you when it’s time to call our technicians for AC repair in Tampa, FL. Strange and unusual noises coming from any part of a split system air conditioner are a reason for concern, and the faster you move to have the AC inspected and repaired, the less risk of the air conditioning system suddenly breaking down or developing a more expensive repair issue.

But “strange” and “unusual” are relative—what do they actually mean? We can describe these noises to you, but we can also describe the sounds you should expect to hear from an air conditioning system when it’s running as it should. So to put a positive spin on AC repairs, here are the customary noises you’ll hear from your air conditioner this summer when it’s doing the job you need from it.

Do You Need Air Filters or Air Purifiers for Your House?

June 27th, 2022

If you’re asking yourself whether you should have air filters or air purifiers added to your house, it’s because you’re concerned about the quality of your indoor air. You have good reason to feel worried: poor indoor air quality is a major problem in many buildings, with the Environmental Protection Agency estimating that the air quality indoors is often three to five times worse than the air outdoors. This is because buildings like your home are constructed for maximum insulation—and this means there’s little fresh air circulating to cleanse out stale and contaminate-filled air.

Air filtration and purification systems are an excellent way to boost your home’s air quality by removing the majority of unwanted particles from moving through the HVAC system. But how do you know which one to get and what type you need? The job is easier than you think: you just need to get in touch with our team. We offer full service to install indoor air quality systems.
