If you’re looking to replace or upgrade your HVAC system, you may be curious about ductless mini splits. What are the advantages? Are there any downsides? Like any major decision about your home, it’s best to take your time and consider your options. Here are some of the pros and cons for your consideration, so you can decide if a ductless mini split is the right choice for your home.
You’ve surely heard people say that they don’t mind the heat, that it’s actually the humidity that makes them uncomfortable. Did you know that a higher level of humidity at the same temperature will actually keep your body hotter? Many people think their air conditioner will keep their home’s humidity down, and to some degree it will, but it’s actually not that simple. Here’s some information that will help you better understand how heat, humidity, and air conditioners interact.
There are a lot of air conditioner problems we see every day. Ice forming on the indoor evaporator coils, dirt and debris choking the outdoor condenser coils, leaking refrigerant, and broken fans are all common issues. But once in a while, we see something more unusual. In case you ever encounter one of these uncommon air conditioner problems, you should know that they do sometimes happen.
If you have a ductless mini split, chances are, you’re pretty happy with it. These systems offer efficient cooling and even switch over to providing heat in the winter. This means there’s only one system providing year-round comfort control, so its maintenance needs are different from a traditional AC unit.
Here’s what you should know about the maintenance your ductless mini split needs and when it should happen.
The majority of the energy people in the US use is put toward heating and cooling their home. This means that your utility bills mostly account for the cost of running your air conditioner and your heater. Wouldn’t it be great to cut that cost? And wouldn’t it be even better if you could lower your bills and raise your air quality by doing just one thing?
Duct repair, when done by qualified professionals, can make a huge difference to both your air quality and your utility bills. Here’s a rundown of why you might need duct repair, what is involved in the process, and how it can benefit you.
There are many benefits to having a heat pump. It provides both heating and cooling for your home. It’s one of the most efficient systems for achieving heating or cooling. It does the job well, keeps your bills down, and is better for the environment. However, nothing lasts forever.
If you’ve had your heat pump for a long time and are wondering when it will need to be replaced, we’ve got some guidelines for you.
There are so many great things about ductless mini splits. They allow temperatures to be adjusted room by room, making it easy to save money by lowering heat in areas where it’s not needed. They are quieter and longer-lasting than traditional comfort systems. They can be installed in homes without ductwork, they are more efficient than other types of HVAC systems, and they can provide both heating and cooling with a simple flip of a switch when seasons change.
You have to remember, though, that they are complex systems that do a lot of work. Just like an air conditioner or a furnace, a ductless mini split requires regular maintenance. And because it works all year long, doing the jobs of two regular appliances, it is strongly recommended that you have maintenance done on your ductless mini split twice a year.
Your furnace is absolutely critical to your comfort. Not only does it keep you warm all winter, it affects the quality of the air you breathe. And since it works so hard to keep you comfortable, it seems only right that you should take a moment of your time to keep your furnace comfortable, too.
The best favor you can do for your HVAC system is to regularly change the air filter.
Your ductwork may seem a bit mysterious to you. The only time you ever see the inside of ductwork is when someone crawls through it in a movie, and those tend to be commercial ducts… and movies are made for entertainment value, not HVAC accuracy. So how do you know what’s happening inside your ducts? How would you know if there’s a problem?
Here are some things to keep an eye out for that can signal that you need to have your ducts checked and possibly repaired.
