Short cycling is a phenomenon that not a lot of people know about. It’s very important to the HVAC industry, and any professional worth their salt should know what a short cycling air conditioner is and the various different causes for it. But we don’t expect homeowners to know this kind of information right out of the gate, which is why we want to talk about it today.
When your air conditioner turns on and off abruptly, running through short, frequent cycles, it can be damaging to the internal components. If you’re suspecting that your AC is short cycling, then we urge you to call our team for air conditioning service in Gainesville, FL. We can evaluate the condition of the unit and figure out what exactly is causing the short cycling. Then we can take steps to alleviate the problem, from quick repairs to a system replacement if need be.
It’s not hard to talk about why maintenance is such an important aspect of any mechanical system. Getting your car inspected and tuned-up is so important that it’s practically a legal requirement in every state. While you’re never in danger of running your air conditioning incorrectly, you could find yourself sweating profusely and uncomfortable on the hottest day of the year because of a missed maintenance and inspection appointment.
For some of our homeowners, heat pumps just wouldn’t be worth the money. Every home is different, and we’re never going to lie to our customers and tell them that they should all switch to a heat pump. However, for many of our customers and community members, a heat pump would be a huge upgrade and are absolutely worth the cost of installation.
We’re in the middle of winter which means the majority of calls we get as HVAC professionals are about heating repairs. Failing heating systems, heating units that are becoming to expensive, unreliable heating systems, you name it and we probably get calls about it. That’s why we’d like to shift gears this week and talk specifically on ways that homeowners can save on 
Mold is an organism that is one of the antagonists of our lives. It infests our food, our clothes, our homes, and even the very air we breathe. At this point, war has been declared for thousands of years and now we’re starting to get the edge on this contaminant that has always given us problems. With high-powered technology and professional 
We know it’s a little late, but in our opinion, it’s never too late to be aware of your energy efficiency! How efficient is your home? Are you happy with the way that your 
No, we’re not talking about leaf blowers or a box fan, we’re talking about your air conditioner! Sometimes there can be a problem in your AC unit that has nothing to do with the refrigerant or the compressor, and instead the problem persists in your system’s blower motor. The blower is the component responsible for—as the name implies—blowing the cool air into your duct system and throughout your home. Without a blower, your AC would just cool off the air inside of it and it would never reach the rest of your home’s rooms.
Air conditioner neglect is a problem that can be insidious. Anyone who is neglecting their air conditioner doesn’t know they’re doing it, but the effect takes its toll and sooner or later you’re dealing with an early replacement. In terms of cost, neglect can be a terrible problem because it can force you to spend more money on your air conditioner later, than paying minimally for services like maintenance and fast repairs now. Basically, neglect leads to wasted money and an air conditioner that can break down more easily.
When you combine humidity, heat, and air conditioning, what do you get? The perfect environment for mold growth. Normally, when an air conditioner is functioning as it should be, there isn’t really any space for mold. All the moisture gets drained out of the condensate line, and your system can go on working. However, when there’s a clog in the condensate drain or pan, or if there’s another problem causing excess humidity to exist in your home or AC system, then you could see the influx of mold.
We know that when hot temperatures hit our area, it’s easy for our minds to wander towards our air conditioners. We start thinking about the worst-case scenario when our AC might falter on the hottest day of the year. Or, we might start regretting that skipped maintenance appointment that really should have been done during the springtime. What homeowners don’t think about too often, however, is who they’re paying to do these valuable services.
