Take Advantage of Spring with a New AC System Installment

May 1st, 2017

air-conditioning-system-grill-top-downRight now we’re enjoying lovely weather here in the Central Valley. Not too hot, not too cold. It’s just what you expect from the middle of spring.

But spring also is a warning that things are going to heat up soon. Summer isn’t far off, and this is the right time to have preparations to see that your air conditioning system is in prime shape for the work to come. Change the filters, give the AC a test run, and most important of all, contact us to schedule your annual air conditioning maintenance tune-up and inspection.

But since no air conditioning system can last forever, this might be the season when the work you arrange with our HVAC technicians is an AC replacement. No problems! It’s a bigger job, but one we’ve been handling for decades. Our experts know how to find the best new air conditioner to meet your needs, size it accurately, and have it in place fast so you’re ready for whatever heat comes your way.

And it’s best not to delay the job if this is the Year of the Replacement. Spring is the right time.

March 13th, 2017

outdoor-air-conditioning-unitMarch is a strange time for the weather in the Central Valley. It’s hard to predict the swings in temperature, which can run into near-summer warmth only to drop back to the lowest points of winter. It’s an important month for the transition between heating season and cooling season: you need to have a furnace in good shape and an air conditioning system ready for the heavy work ahead.

No matter which forced-air comfort system you use the most during March, there’s a component the two systems have in common that requires special attention, the air filter. This filter must be changed on a regular basis as part of ongoing heating and air conditioning maintenance.

Blue flames burning inside a gas furnace during routine furnace maintenance.

Here’s a heating malfunction that might happen in your home during the winter:

The temperature outside is dropping, and it’s time to fire up your home’s furnace to keep everyone cozy. You go to the thermostat and adjust the temperature for warmth.
