Be Smart About Home Automation

November 11th, 2019

Have you toured any new homes recently? If you have, you probably noticed how many of them offer the ability to test out their new smart home automation systems. The developers want to make sure you understand just how easy life can be when you hook up different aspects of your home to an automated system that helps you control everything from lighting, to internal temperature, to how high or low the shades are on the kitchen windows.

In all truth, walking through new home models with these types of functions feels akin to walking through a home of the future. However, these are the home automation options we can enjoy now. And, even better, you can enjoy a lot of the nifty perks of having a smarter home without having to buy a brand new one.

End of the Summer AC Checklist

September 16th, 2019

Before you go ahead and put your AC away for the winter, there are a few helpful things you can do to make sure it’s in great condition for next summer. An improperly stored air conditioner through the winter could damage certain components of it or make the set up of it next year more difficult than it should be. Homeowners like to think that their AC is fine being left alone as is, but the truth of the matter is that some winter weather phenomena can make the storage process a little more complicated than that.

So, if you’re one of the few homeowners who are concerned with the storage of their AC and improving the lifespan of such an expensive system, then we advise you to keep reading for our end of the year AC checklist! If you perform these steps, and you’re still having AC problems as next summer rolls around, then it might be time for an AC upgrade in Raleigh, NC.

Either way, keep reading for some professional tips!

Ways to Tell Your AC Is About to Go

September 2nd, 2019

Contrary to some popular beliefs, air conditioners don’t last forever. In fact, air conditioners usually have a life expectancy somewhere in between 10 to 15 years. That doesn’t mean that your 20-year-old AC system won’t still work pretty well, all it means is that the average system will start getting less efficient, more expensive, and become a burden on you and your family. However, the story doesn’t end there. AC upgrades can be easy and affordable when you’re collaborating with the right contractor.

With the right combination of great contractor customer service, federal tax credits, manufacturer rebates, and some planning- you can get an affordable AC upgrade. We could talk all day about the benefits of an AC upgrade, but what we’re really here to talk about is when your old or faulty AC is trying to tell you to upgrade. Nobody wants to be stuck on one of the hottest days of the year with a broken down AC that requires an entire AC upgrade in Raleigh, NC.

So let’s get ahead of the curve and talk about when it’s time to upgrade your AC.
