While summer is all about enjoying the warm weather – hikes, picnics, barbecues, the beach and family get togethers – at the end of the day, you want to come back to a cool and comfortable home. Did you know that our perception of hot or cold is directly influenced by the percentage of humidity in the air?
How do you know when you need a new air conditioner? While a regularly serviced unit will provide optimal service, even a well-maintained AC can run into problems. Here are some typical signs that it might be time to replace your air conditioner:
An annual AC tune-up early in the season will ensure your cooling system runs efficiently through the hot summer months. Regular AC maintenance can prevent sudden breakdowns, keep your energy bills low and help maximize air conditioner service life.
We all know that the hotter it is outside, the harder the AC works to cool our homes. As a result, you might find it struggling to bring down temperatures in extreme summer heat. One reason is that the air conditioning cycle requires the temperature outside to be cooler than the hot air it is releasing from the unit. That is why your air conditioner works more efficiently in cooler fall and spring temperatures. One of the simplest ways to increase the efficiency of your HVAC is regular maintenance services. Dirt and debris, or faulty parts can add to the strain on the compressor.
The continuous advancements in air conditioning technology have led to significant improvements in the functionality and features of today’s cooling equipment. From energy consumption and sound, to size, appearance and efficiency of individual components, several aspects of the AC unit have evolved that directly address the concerns presented by earlier generations of these units.
