As temperatures start to climb toward the highs of summer, you’ll put more and more pressure on your air conditioning system. It’s important during this early part of the long air conditioning season that you watch for indications that the AC is suffering from problems.
When you live in a climate such as ours, going without air conditioning is unthinkable. To achieve energy savings, many homeowners try to hold off on using their AC as long as possible.
Last week, we talked about when it’s time to replace your AC. This is one of the most important decisions you can make in a place that gets as sweltering hot as central Arizona, since you’ll depend on a cooling system almost every day during the middle of the year.
Last week we addressed one of the most important jobs to schedule during the year for your household comfort: professional air conditioning maintenance. In city that can get as blazing hot during the middle of the year as Phoenix doe, an air conditioning system needs as much help as it can get to work effectively all the way through to the late fall.
Spring is right around the corner, which means warmer weather is almost upon us in Chandler, AZ. As one of your home’s most expensive components, your air conditioner must be reliable. If you haven’t scheduled a maintenance appointment in the last year, now is the time.
The heat seems to show no signs of abating here in Phoenix, with days that still crest over 100°F. Your air conditioner has probably not received much of a break and has worked continuously for months.
You might think that a thermostat is “just a thermostat,” and it doesn’t really matter which one you have installed in your home because they all pretty much work the same. But the type of thermostat you have controlling your home’s heating and cooling system can make a significant impact on performance, affecting both household comfort and energy bills.
Garages are usually a part of a home that doesn’t need air conditioning. Most of what gets stored inside a garage isn’t heat-sensitive, and people in a house only spend enough time in a garage to get in and out of a car.
To say that we’ve experienced a hot summer here in Phoenix is an understatement. We only have to look at our own company records to see the proof: we’ve had the most AC service calls during the last two months than at any time in our company history.
