There are many exciting changes that happen during Autumn! The leaves on all the trees change colors, our outfits become warmer and cozier, and of course, our preferred beverage becomes the ever-so-famous pumpkin-spiced latte!
But, there is one other change that homeowners often forget about — yes, that’s right, we are talking about the air filter! Your air filter plays an important role in the overall performance of your heater, so it is important that you change it on a regular basis (every 1 to 3 months to be exact!)
In case you are not yet convinced, we encourage you to keep reading below! We’ve explained exactly what an air filter does and why it’s so crucial that you change it. So, what are you waiting for?
If you are in the market for a new cooling system this year, why not consider a heat pump? These nifty little systems are highly efficient, super effective, and can provide year-round comfort with just the flip of a switch (but, more on that later!)
While September in the North means hayrides and apple picking, it surely doesn’t mean much for us Southerners. Temperatures are hardly dropping, the sun is still shining, and our air conditioners are definitely still blowing!
Here’s the thing: things happen! And, we totally understand that when things happen, it’s not always convenient. But, here’s something else: when it comes to your air conditioner, you don’t want to wait until it’s convenient to deal with any problem that arises.
What do holiday decorations, old photos, and storage bins have in common? They all live in your attic! See, you might think that your attic is nothing more than a storage space, but believe us, your attic greatly impacts the rest of your home in terms of climate control and comfort!
You wipe your counters, mop your floor, wash your dishes, and even scrub the toilet, but there is one teeny tiny thing that homeowners almost always forget to clean — their ducts. (We were just kidding about the teeny tiny part, your ducts are actually quite complex and rather important!) And, in actuality, duct cleaning is not something you can do yourself — for a job like this, you’ve got to call in the pros!
Let’s face it: ductless systems are pretty awesome! Why? Because they’re super-efficient, highly effective, take up very little space, and can provide year-round comfort with just the flip of a switch. But sadly, no matter how great your ductless system is, eventually it is going to require repairs.
How can you possibly be sure that now is the right time to replace your AC? Surely, it’s got a little juice left in it, right? Well, we hate to burst your bubble, but sometimes, letting go of an older, outdated air conditioner is definitely worth it, even if you think might make it through the rest of the summer.
Some things just go together — peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, humidity and comfort… Okay, okay, we know what you are thinking and yes, this is going to be another blog about humidity. Why? Because it’s important! Striking the perfect balance of humidity in your home is key to enjoying a comfortable and efficient environment.
No, your air conditioner should not be blowing warm air. But, of course, things happen and you might find yourself coming home one day to a home full of heat, which is definitely not something to look forward to after spending an afternoon out in the sun.
