Replacing Your AC? Let’s Look at Some of Your Options

Monday, September 23rd, 2024

Central AC systems are the standard for homes across the country: an air conditioning system that sends cooled air through ductwork to vents around the house. Central air systems are effective and durable, and if you ensure that you have your central AC regularly maintained and repaired promptly when needed, you can expect to get 10–15 years of efficient service from it.

However, you’re reading this post because, for whatever reason, you’re planning a central AC replacement in Stephens County. We’re the local contractor you can trust for installing a new air conditioning system, and we’d like to talk to you about the different options available for replacing a central AC. You don’t have to go with a standard central air system, and one of these may be a good idea for your home.

My AC’s Compressor Died—Does That Mean I Have to Replace the AC?

Monday, July 15th, 2024

The heart of a central AC is its compressor. This powerful motorized component places refrigerant under pressure so that it will circulate through the rest of the air conditioning system and change between a hot gas and a cold liquid to move heat out of the house.

Because the compressor is so powerful, it uses the most energy of any part of the AC. It’s also an expensive component to replace if it should burn out and fail. Conventional wisdom says that a dead compressor means the whole AC has to go to the recycling yard so a new AC can replace it.

But conventional wisdom isn’t always 100% accurate. So let’s look further into the possibilities when you’ve got a dead compressor. Do you need a full central AC replacement in Stephens County in this case? Or is there another option?

It’s Not Too Late For AC Maintenance!

Does My AC Control Humidity As Well?

Monday, February 12th, 2024

Comfort in a home is about more than just the correct temperature. The correct humidity balance is also crucial. Air that’s too dry or air that’s too humid makes it more difficult for people to feel comfortable. High humidity is specifically a problem in hot weather since the moisture levels make it harder for the human body to release heat and naturally cool off.

You have an air conditioning system in your house to help lower the temperature during the heat. Does the AC also contribute to controlling the humidity? We’re going to look into this in greater detail and offer our recommendations for humidity control in Madison County.

Late Summer Is a Good Time to Assess Your AC’s Performance

Monday, September 11th, 2023

As we approach the official last day of summer, you’ll probably still use your air conditioning system on the regular. It stays hot in September, after all. But you’ll begin to think about preparing for the winter season, which means scheduling heating maintenance.

Right now, we want you to give your AC a bit of attention. It’s spent a hard summer battling the heat—how did it do at its job? Pick one of the following answers…

Great, no complaints!
Eh, it was okay.
It just wasn’t working as well as it used to.
The AC is the worst appliance in my house.

Depending on your answer, you may need to schedule service for your air conditioning system before the end of the summer, or even arrange to have a new one installed in the fall.

Is Your AC Turning On and Off Too Rapidly? Here’s What’s Happening

Monday, July 3rd, 2023

You normally don’t think much about your air conditioning during the summer months once you’ve got it set. It turns on when you need it to, runs for a stretch, shuts down, and then turns back on whenever the house starts to get too warm again.

Except now, something different is happening … The AC is turning on and off far more often. It turns on, only runs for a short time, then shuts off, only to turn back on again a short time later. You’re always noticing the air conditioner turning on because it’s happening so often.

Is this a problem, and what exactly is causing it? Do you need to call us for AC repair in Franklin County? We’ll look into this problem (yes, it is a problem) more below.
