Now is the Best Time to Gift Yourself a New AC System

Monday, March 2nd, 2020

We may be starting to see a bit more of the sun lately here in Raleigh, but that doesn’t mean we are anywhere near it being warm enough to start using the air conditioning system. This is one of the many reasons we are bringing this unit up though–because what better time to get major work done on your cooler than when you don’t need it?

We want to make sure that you are fully ready for the heat of summer so if your AC barely made it through that last season of heat and humidity, you likely need to consider a replacement system before your current unit breaks down in the middle of July.

Let us dive in a little deeper on why it is a great time to schedule an air conditioning replacement in Raleigh, NC now, before the heat kicks in.

Tips to Protect Your Commercial HVAC Unit

Monday, January 20th, 2020

Everyone has seen a story or two involving a commercial HVAC unit encountering a big problem. It could be the air conditioner that suddenly loses its ability to cool and sends the internal temperature of an office sky high. Or it could be a furnace that creates a small fire. Whatever the result, these are both results of a lack of proper care given to a commercial HVAC system.

To say commercial HVAC services are important is putting it mildly. Your business can truly depend on how well your heating and cooling systems work. And if they don’t you’ll notice the difference.

So how are you supposed to keep your system in good condition? We’ll tell you.

End of the Summer AC Checklist

Monday, 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

Monday, 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.
