Why Are Air Conditioning Power Levels Important?

Tuesday, April 11th, 2017

The tactic makes a lot of sense, since it allows you to take advantage of improved performance and efficiency the moment the temperature starts to spike in the summer months. We tend to see a lot of air conditioning replacement calls this time of year, and can help you select a new unit to fit your home’s needs.

The Importance of Changing Filters in Your Air Conditioner

Monday, September 19th, 2016

Fall officially arrives this week, but most residents of Fredericksburg, TX know that warm weather will continue into October and possibly beyond. Your air conditioner, already handling a daily workload for months, will be under more pressure than ever to perform as summer comes to an end, and that means it’s very important that you ensure you regularly change the filters on your system. Ideally, they should be changed once a month, but you should do so no less often than every 2-3 months. It’s easy enough to perform yourself, and you can purchase replacement filters at your local hardware store or home improvement center. (In fact, it might be a good idea to stock up on extra filters so you have them on-hand when you need them.) But why is it so important to do so?

Air Conditioning Problems Late in the Summer

Tuesday, August 30th, 2016

Summer doesn’t always follow the calendar here in Boerne, TX: starting earlier and running longer than most of us would like. Late August and early September are a particularly busy time for air conditioning repair calls, as months of use take their toll and air conditioners still need to be up and running for a few more weeks at least. While you should never attempt to conduct air conditioning repairs yourself — proper training and licensing is an absolute necessity — you can do yourself a favor by watching for air conditioning problems late in the summer, and responding quickly when they arise.

The Benefits of Ductless Air Conditioning

Monday, July 25th, 2016

Bandera, TX residents need air conditioning systems to keep their home cool, and most of us are happy with the traditional centralized system that most of us are familiar with. But it’s not the only type of air conditioner out there, and if you’re looking for an alternative model, you would do well to examine the possibilities offered by a ductless air conditioning system. As the name implies, ductless air conditioning has no need for the system of ducts that centralized systems use. Instead, it places multiple smaller units throughout your home, each one charged with cooling a specific room or section. It costs more to install than centralized systems, but in return, it offers a number of benefits that can improve your quality of life dramatically.
