  1. AC FAQ: What Are the Coils?

    Different homeowners have different levels of familiarity with their air conditioning systems. Some are content just knowing their ACs will cool the air when the heat of summer strikes, though they are not too concerned with the details. Others like to be a bit more hands-on with their air conditioners—too hands-on, in some cases. We believe the happy medium lies somewhere in between. We don't e…Read More

  4. Why Is My AC Leaking Water?

    In our last post, we talked about refrigerant leaks and why they are such a problem. We've previously discussed the (unfortunately pervasive) issue of leaky ductwork on our blog. Today, we are going to talk about a different type of leak in your AC. The water leak! Confused? If so, then you have every right to be. After all, you may well know that your air conditioner does not actually use any wat…Read More

  6. Why Refrigerant Leaks Are a Major Concern

    Your air conditioner does not somehow generate coolness, the way that your furnace or boiler generates heat via electric resistance or the combustion of fuel. Instead, that coolness that you are feeling is really the absence of heat. Your air conditioner removes heat from the air in order to cool it down before recirculating that air throughout your home. The refrigerant in your air conditioning…Read More

  9. It Is Time to Get That AC Tuned Up

    Winter was pretty set on overstaying its welcome this year, but the warmer weather finally seems to be creeping toward us once more. That may be something of a relief right now, but how long is it going to be before the real heat of summer kicks in and some of us are once again looking forward to cooler days?

  10. Will You Need a New Air Conditioner This Year?

    If so, then now is the time to sort out the details. Sometimes, homeowners convince themselves that an old AC still has a year of quality performance left in it. Other times, they simply forget about the issues that they were having with their AC last cooling season, only to remember when faced with even more problems during the current season. We strongly recommend you avoid both of these scenari…Read More
