Monday, July 23rd, 2018

woman-with-glassesThe internet has made it easy for people to access information on just about any topic with only a few keyboard clicks. But it also makes it easy for people to access misinformation as well, and many myths have now spread far and wide because of the web.

Air conditioning systems aren’t immune to this: there are many myths about how AC systems operate that we still run into. But we’d like to use the power of the internet to dispel some of these myths. Below are a few of the more common misunderstandings about air conditioning systems that you may have read or heard.

Get Genuine AC Maintenance—Not Just a “Spring Tune-Up”

Monday, May 14th, 2018

service-blue-markerWe’re now moving toward the edge of summer, so if you haven’t yet arranged for your regular spring air conditioning maintenance, we recommend having it done soon. When the summer heat hits, you won’t want to be without your AC for long.

But… you want to make sure that you have full, thorough, professional air conditioning maintenance service. This includes a complete inspection, cleaning, and tune-up. At this time of year, many HVAC contractors start offering “Spring Tune-Up Specials,” advertising a low-cost to come to your house and prep your air conditioner for the approaching hot weather. These tune-up specials can be as low as $35, which sounds like a great deal. But it isn’t.

AC Repairs You May Need in the Second Half of Summer

Monday, August 7th, 2017

tools-on-ac-unitNow that we’re in the late summer (August already!), air conditioners are entering into a higher risk zone. At this point, a home’s air conditioner has been working steadily for at least two months, and that means it will have picked up a good deal of wear and tear. If the air conditioner had its regular maintenance inspection and tune-up during the spring, it should still be able to make it through the rest of the summer in good condition.

But nothing is certain, and if the AC didn’t have regular maintenance, the likelihood of something going wrong is much higher. (Make sure you sign up for our Comfort Plan so you’ll always have your HVAC system maintained for both hot and cold weather.)

“AC Spring Tune-Up Specials” vs. Regular Maintenance: Know the Difference

Monday, June 12th, 2017

service-reminderIn the final days before the serious heat of summer arrives, you’ll start to see advertisements from HVAC companies offering “Spring Tune-Up” SPECIALS!!!! These are common from larger companies, and … there’s good reason to be feel cautious about them. In general, always feel cautious about multiple exclamation points.

We want to remind readers that spring maintenance is vital for any air conditioning system. Our New Jersey summers are hot and humid, and this puts immense pressure on ACs. Unless a cooling system receives full treatment from an HVAC professional to inspect, clean, and tune it up, it will be in danger of a malfunction and energy-inefficient performance. In the long term, neglect of maintenance will lead to a system that needs to be replaced years before it should. An air conditioner’s warranty can also be voided because it misses annual maintenance.

But there’s a difference between these “spring tune-up specials!!!!” one-time charges for AC maintenance, and signing up for routine maintenance through a program with a respected local HVAC company.
