Tips to Help Your AC Run It's Best This Summer

Summer weather in Northwest Florida is hot and humid, and air conditioner operating costs can skyrocket. That’s why it’s so important to look for ways to maximize the efficiency of your AC without sacrificing comfort.

Is It time for a New AC System? Signs Its Time.

Your air conditioning unit plays a vital role in keeping your family healthy and comfortable during the 90-degree days of a Tallahassee summer. Deciding when to replace your AC unit is one of the toughest decisions you’ll make as a homeowner, because it’s a significant investment and so critical to your family’s comfort. Before you reach the most visible sign that you need a new AC system installation, the fact that your AC system won’t run anymore, here are three signs that signal it may be time for a new AC system.

Preparing for Allergy Season

If you have allergies, you may have discovered that your symptoms are worse indoors than outdoors. Tallahassee, FL, homes these days are sealed tightly to keep cooled air from leaking out. That saves on energy usage, but it also means that you have to be proactive about indoor air quality. The good news is that there are allergy-friendly products that can clear pollen and other allergens from your living space and keep them out for good.

How Humidity Affects Cooling Your Home

Like other cities along and close to Florida’s Gulf Coast, Tallahassee experiences extreme temperatures and oppressive relative humidity (RH) throughout the year. Days during summer often start with moisture levels around 90 percent. These conditions affect everyone’s perception of the apparent temperature. Dry air feels cooler. Humid air feels warmer. This means that on high-humidity days, you probably turn down the thermostat and run your air conditioner more to achieve the same level of comfort.

What You Should Do to Prepare for AC Season

If you want greater comfort at a lower cost, HVAC maintenance is your friend. You’ll also enjoy improved reliability and fewer repairs. In Tallahassee, we depend on air conditioning, so maintenance is especially important. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a lot to save money all summer. For maximum returns, complete these low-cost tasks before the cooling season begins.

Would Ductless A/C Help Keep You Cooler?

If you’re dissatisfied with your existing air conditioning installation in your Tallahassee, Newport or Woodville, FL, home, consider this: a mini-split system might do a better job of cooling you off, and your costs could be lower too. Ductless air conditioning has a lot to offer Tallahassee homeowners. Here are four standout features:

I scheduled a maintenance check up and Randall came out to check my A/C unit. He was so professional and punctual. He explained everything to me as he performed the maintenance. He wore a face covering which made me feel like he had my safety and his own in mind. I will use this company every year. Thanks Randall.
