Just how important are the furnace air ducts?

According to the California energy Commission the average home furnace duct system is only performing between 50% to 75% of its rated output. That means allot of your hard earned money is being spent heating and air conditioning your attic. If you want your system to work perfectly, the ducts must be checked. Most are undersized and most have gaps that lose a considerable amount of air. About 35% of all wasted btus are wasted through the duct system. Why bother with a high efficiency system when the efficiency is used to heat the great outdoors?

Because of the dangers of indoor air pollution, it only makes sense to address those issues when talking about your central air conditioning and central furnace.

What entails a furnace tune up and why does it need to be done annually?

One of the least understood parts of the heating and air conditioning world is furnace maintenance. There are so many myths and tales floating around that even the untrained HVAC service technicians make mistakes. The single most significant reason for furnace breakdown is dirt buildup. There is only way that dirt can build up on a furnace and that is lack of maintenance, yet every year my phone rings off the hook with needless repairs caused by it. Worse, a lack of proper maintenance voids your manufacturer’s warranty.

Having your furnace tuned up once each year is like putting money in the bank. It is an insurance policy against future breakdown. We have qualified HVAC repairmen standing by. Give us a call and we’ll send out a factory trained Comfort Certified furnace repairman to your home to help you and your family. Call now 1.877.247.6426

Why pay more by not getting a home furnace tune up? Getting your furnace tuned up now will save you money on utility bills and help you avoid breakdowns.

Biggest Reason for a Broken Furnace

Are home air conditioning tune ups a waste of time and money?

What is an A/C tune up and what does it mean to have your air conditioning tuned up? An air conditioning tune up is not a service visit to add a pound or two of Freon. Your air conditioning system is the largest appliance in your house that consumes electricity in the summertime. It can make small electric bills into big electric bills. An A/C tune up in an investment in lowering the amount of money that you are overpaying to the electric company each month you operate your air conditioner. An A/C tune up also ensures that the number one reason for mechanical breakdown, debris buildup, stays under control and extends the life of your equipment.

The time to act is now. Call us at (877)247-6426 if you have not had your home A/C tune up this year.

Your home air conditioner tune up is an investment in saving money. Help your A/C system in preventing mechanical breakdowns and help yourself save money.

The only way to maintain peak cooling and the lowest electric bills possible is by maintaining your air conditioning every year. A preseason check up is also a requirement of the air conditioning manufacturers to keep in place your warranties.

Detecting Freon Leaks and Fixing Freon Leaks

Low on Freon, I need Freon, I have a broken thermostat, I have Freon added every year, My fuses are blown. These are symptoms that we are told everyday during the summer by air conditioning owners describing that their home air conditioning systems and their business air conditioning systems are blowing hot air or not blow air at all. These are symptoms…not the diagnosis.

While low on Freon, adding Freon, is something that can be the problem, it usually isn’t the problem. While a broken thermostat can certainly stop an air conditioner from working they don’t break all that often. Most of the repairs required on home air conditioning and heating systems are electrical malfunctions of one type or another.

You shouldn’t be adding Freon every year to your home cooling system. If you are, you are damaging it. Low on Freon is the same condition as low on oil. Freon carries the oil to lubricate the compressor and premature wear and tear will result from running an air conditioning system low on Freon. Adding Freon every year gives your system the chance of adding impurities every year to it. Impurities in Freon gauges and Freon hoses can damage your system over time.

We can find the Freon leak. We can fix the Freon leak. We can save you money. Call now 1.877.247.6426. We have an air conditioning repairman standing by. Factory trained and Comfort Certified.

Finding Air Conditioning Freon leaks and fixing A/C Freon leaks. We have new methods that detect even small leaks quickly and cheaply.

The Government has invaded Your Home

It seems that every time we turn around the government comes up with a new way to save our lives and empty our wallets.

The price of air conditioning and heating has gone up over the last few years significantly. There are redeeming parts to the changes that were made. The savings now from the high efficiency systems will actually offset the price increase the first year or so and over the next 10 years will generally cover the entire cost of the new heating and air conditioning system.

Now is the time to invest in a new home comfort system.
