Monday, May 23rd, 2016

Weather may already be warming up in your community, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to schedule an air conditioning maintenance appointment if you haven’t done so already. You may be tempted to skip your appointment this year, thinking that since everything was in top-shape last year, how can anything change that much?

However, there could be hidden issues with your air conditioner that you won’t even notice until the demands you place on your air conditioner are greatest—in the middle of summer.

What Are the Benefits of an Electronic Air Cleaner?

Monday, May 16th, 2016

During this time of year especially, your indoor air quality can actually be worse than that of the outdoors. You may think that the air filter which came standard with your HVAC system is the solution to this, but that is not the case. The purpose of that air filter is to protect the inside components of your HVAC unit.

Your HVAC’s standard air filter can and does contribute to your indoor air quality, and works best when changed at least every 3 months. However, that is not its main purpose. For truly purified air, you’ll want to consider an electronic air cleaner, which is installed directly into your home’s heating and cooling system.

Given that you stay on top of your maintenance plan and repairs, your air conditioner has the potential to last well over a decade.

Without regular maintenance, your air conditioner will not perform as efficiently as it could, meaning that you will be wasting money on unnecessary energy costs. Plus, you may have to pay for a full system replacement a lot sooner than you would have had to with maintenance. But what actually happens during these appointments?
