Another week has almost past, and it looks like 90° weather is in our forecast. As the spring fades into summer, everyone is going to be looking for a cool place to relax.
I should mention… As the temperatures begin to increase, do not leave children or pets unattended in your car. Temperatures can skyrocket quickly!
A test conducted by the University of San Francisco showed that in 10 minutes a closed-up car reached 99 degrees when the outside temperature was 80 degrees. In 20 minutes, the inside of the car had reached 109 degrees. 
These temperatures can cause heat stroke, and in some cases, death.
Energy Savings Tips …. Part 4
To get the best performance and efficiency out of your air conditioning equipment, it is important to follow these guidelines.
- Schedule a tune-up (aka, preventive maintenance, summer start-up, planned maintenance)- Your air conditioning and heating system runs most of the year. Just like your car, your ac needs to have a tune-up. We recommend at least twice a year. One time before the summer season, and once before the winter season.
- Keep lamps, lights, tvs or other heat producing items away from your thermostat. Your thermostat senses heat from these items, which can cause your air conditioning to run longer than necessary.
- Keep any dust from building up on your registers by vacuuming them. This will help keep the flow of air moving freely and without restriction.
- Be sure that your furniture and other objects are not impeding the flow of air from the registers.
- Keep doors open throughout the house. This will keep the airflow at the proper levels.
If you find that your ac unit is not working, please feel free to contact us.
Also, I am still running a “Preseason Sale” on complete air conditioning units. Up to $1500 off York and Goodman units! This sale will end soon, so don’t wait until the Dog Days of Summer.
Since the weekend is almost here, I hope that you have a great weekend!
Wow, we have had another pretty busy week at Arctic Air. Last week, we did 2 residential unit change outs, 1 commercial unit change out and lots of repairs! All of that, and we were down a man. This week, we have installed 3 residential units.
I will say that Staci and I have benefited from the following! Our first month of putting in a programmable thermostat saved us almost $50! These energy savings tips really work! Your thermostat plays a BIG role in helping with your air conditioner’s efficiency. By setting your thermostat as directed, you can achieve significant energy savings.
So, just to keep things simple… It is time to inspect your a/c air filter. If it is dirty, replace it.
If your unit looks like this, it may be time to consider a replacement. Currently, we have a PRESEASON SALE on replacement air conditioning and heating systems. We have 4 unit installs set up for this coming week! We have definitely been blessed with work!
She just bought her home a few months ago. She had a home inspector come out and he gave the home a thumbs up. Then, she started having issues with her system and called Arctic Air to come out and fix the problem. The hvac system in her home was 5 years old. Why would a big name a/c have holes in the evaporator coil? I would bet money on a bad installation. Instead of fighting a losing battle, she decided to replace her old unit with a new YORK unit. The YORK unit has been properly installed.
You can have a job done GOOD, FAST or CHEAP … pick ANY two. Bottom line is, if you settle for a cheap option, make sure that installation is done correctly. The up front cost may be cheaper, but the long term cost could be devastating! Don’t fall victim to this ploy.
Well, Spring is almost here and I cannot wait. In the past, I have not minded the cold… I must be getting old. I am ready for the warmer days of spring. I can’t wait to be able to wear shorts, flip flops, and a t-shirt outside again. Oh, and I am ready for there to be sunlight outside when I get home.
If you have been putting off purchasing a new air conditioning and heating system, NOW is the time! We have a
