Whether your home is equipped with a natural gas or electric furnace, it will help you maintain a warm and comfortable indoor space. There are several things you should do to prepare your furnace ahead of time. Clean the Heat …
Charging is a common service performed by technicians in the heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) industry. If your AC system isn’t cooling your home like it used to, charging may be the answer. During a charging service, an HVAC technician will pump refrigerant into your AC system. As your AC system’s refrigerant levels normalize, it …
Your AC system is dependent upon a compressor to create cool air. Located inside the condenser unit, the compressor is a device that compresses the refrigerant. Refrigerant will pick up heat from the inside of your home, after which it will flow to the compressor. After being compressed, the refrigerant will release its heat outside …
Does your home have an outdated thermostat? Contrary to common belief, you don’t have to replace your entire heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) system. You can typically just replace the outdated thermostat with a new thermostat – assuming the latter is compatible with your HVAC system. There are a few things you should know, however, …
A clean evaporator coil is essential to your AC system’s performance. The evaporator coil is an indoor-installed heat exchanger. You can find it near the furnace and blower. As air moves through the ductwork, it will pass over the evaporator coil to become cooler. The evaporator coil will essentially absorb heat from your home’s indoor …
There’s no substitution for a centralized heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system. Consisting of an AC system and a furnace (or heat pump), it will allow you to control the air temperature inside of your home. AC systems and furnaces, however, often require replacing. If you’re planning to upgrade your HVAC system, you should consider …
Heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) systems are available in different types. The two most common types include split and packaged. Both split HVAC systems and packaged HVAC systems can cool your home during the summer and warm your home during the winter. With that said, split HVAC systems and packaged HVAC systems aren’t the same. …
When researching ways to protect your home from humidity damage, you may come across whole-house dehumidifiers. They offer an easy and effective way to lower indoor humidity levels. Like all dehumidifiers, whole-house dehumidifiers remove moisture vapor from the air. As airborne moisture decreases, so will your home’s humidity levels. Whole-house dehumidifiers, however, leverage your home’s …
When was the last time that you inspected your AC system’s refrigerant lines? Even if you regularly inspect the coils, you may overlook the refrigerant lines. Unfortunately, this can lead to problems that inhibit your AC system’s performance. By inspecting your AC system’s refrigerant lines, you can find and fix problems early so that they …
It’s no secret that attics can get hot during the summer. Without any heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) supply vents, they won’t receive cool and conditioned air. As a result, heat will build up inside of attics. There are ventilation systems, however, that are designed specifically for attics. What Is Attic Ventilation? Attic ventilation refers …
