There are plenty of scenarios that can happen when you turn your heater on for the first time this season. It can come on without a hitch and act like it did last season, which is the best possible outcome. It can turn on with some minor problems that make you raise your eyebrow high. Or, it could not even turn on at all—signaling something sinister at the bottom of it.
We are always baffled by homeowners who think their family member can install a new air conditioner. With how expensive, important, and complicated these systems are, it’s always a bad idea to have someone that’s not licensed and certified perform this type of work. Notice how we didn’t say sometimes, we said always.
Air conditioners have air filters that are meant to keep dust and debris out. This isn’t just for our own personal health, although it doesn’t hurt, it’s supposed to keep the coils of your AC clean from contaminants. Contaminants can cause the coil to become damaged which would ruin the effectiveness and efficiency of your cooling. So, long story short—replace your air filter today!
Back in the day, all you needed was a window unit air conditioner and a family friend to help you install it. While we might remember those days with fond nostalgia, the way we dealt with heat was pretty pathetic. When the worst heatwaves hit us, we’d just have to deal with it or suffer the exorbitant energy bills to come while our window units barely cooled our homes down.

Air conditioners, while being durable and able to last far into their second decade of life, are delicate on the inside.

This can void your system’s warranty and also make things worse since only a trained and certified HVAC technician has the tools and experience to make sure nothing is broken or scratched when taking a look inside.
Whether it’s getting rid of mold, keeping yourself comfortable, or reducing odors, dehumidification is a process that can be extraordinarily helpful for homeowners. While we know that dehumidifiers are important during our extremely muggy summers here in Florida, we don’t necessarily get the time to focus on the other benefits that come from such a system.
There’s been a bit of warm weather to give us some time outside in the past week, but that’s no excuse to neglect our heaters for the days when temperatures drop below where we’d like them to be. That’s because 
Insulation goes overlooked far more often than it should. While insulation on its own can still be a benefit for your HVAC systems in your home, we want to stress the important factor that it can lower your cooling bills and keep your AC system running efficiently for longer. If you were unaware of the fact that 
Ductless heating systems are all the rage these days, and for good reason! They’re hyper-efficient, powerful enough to last all season in our climate, and they’re flexible where other heating systems can be a drag. If you’re looking to upgrade your aging heater or you’re just trying to see what efficient systems are out there, look no further!
