A/C
& HEAT
Your
central air conditioning and heating system plays a major
role in keeping your home comfortable. Since it rarely
calls for our attention, we don’t always give it
much respect. We treat it as part of the house, and forget
that our central comfort system is a complete working
system, working to keep our home environment comfortable
and consistent throughout. It contains liquids under pressure,
gasses under pressure, motors, electrical and electronic
controls and more. Like any other electro-mechanical equipment
it will perform its job better, more efficiently, and
for a longer period of time if it’s properly maintained.
We
all know how important it is to maintain the oil and transmission
fluid in our cars, the compression in the engine, the
air pressure in our tires, the gas level in the tank.
It keeps the car starting when you want it to, running
smoother, getting better gas mileage, and lasting a lot
longer. It’s the same with your home’s central
comfort system. You want it to come on automatically before
it gets too hot or too cold in the house and adjust the
air temperature, clean the air as it recirculates it,
use less electricity to run, and last a long, long time
before it needs replacement. Your home comfort system
is a major investment, and as all mechanical systems with
pressures and moving parts, it will break down eventually;
sooner if it’s not cleaned and maintained. Make
the effort to keep your home comfort system tuned up and
operating efficiently, to reduce unexpected problems and
keep your energy bills lower.
Just
like a car, again, you can choose to ‘soup up’
your home comfort system after it leaves the factory,
and accessorize it with some aftermarket add-ons that
can actually improve the quality of the air that recirculates
through your home. Even an older system can usually be
upgraded to help clean the air in your home. You can increase
the filtration to clean smaller and smaller particles
out of the air, without obstructing the airflow. You can
add an ultra-violet light kit to your system (like hospitals
have used for years) to reduce airborne bacteria and live
viruses. You can even get an ‘air scrubber,’
for those homes that desire maximum ‘whole house’
air purification and want to provide a ‘hospital-like’
clean air environment.
Sooner
or later you will replace your home comfort system. We’d
like to be the company you choose to do the job, but old
or new, your system should undergo an annual maintenance
tune up. The newer your system is when you start annual
maintenance, the longer it can be made to last. Protect
that investment. We can replace your home comfort system
sooner, or let us tune it up and maintain it for you,
and maybe we can replace it for you later.
