Hurricane Matthew has struck the Casselberry, FL area, and we wish all members of our community the very best when recovering from the damage. It’s not the first hurricane to strike, nor will it be the last, but its effects are certainly going to be felt for a while to come. Its impact can extend to your heating and air conditioning system as well, and the last thing you want to do is turn either one on in the next few days or weeks, only to realize that it has suffered a serious breakdown or is otherwise in need of repair. The sooner you can get a jump on those issues, the better.

Check Your HVAC System for Damage
October 10th, 2016Now is the Time to Address Trouble with Your Ducts
October 3rd, 2016Most homes in Winter Park, FL rely on traditional forced air systems to stay cool during the summer months, which most residents know can stretch well into the fall. Older systems begin to show the strain this time of year, after months of regular service and with plenty more warm days still to come in 2016. That can extend to your duct system too, which is charged with carrying cool air from the AC itself to the various corners of your homes. If you can spot the signs of trouble in your ducts, now is an excellent time to address the problem.

Count on Us for Commercial Maintenance Sessions
September 19th, 2016A commercial heating and air conditioning system is very different from a residential HVAC system, and as such has very different needs. It has to heat and cool a much larger space, for starters, and must accommodate the specific needs of the business in question (computers that need to start cool, for instance, or a refrigeration system for restaurants and food preparation services).
Older Air Conditioners May Be Feeling the Strain
September 12th, 2016Summer doesn’t end in Orlando, CA just because the kids go back to school. Hot weather often continues late into the year, and with months of regular use under its belt already, your air conditioner may be feeling the strain as never before. This is especially true for older systems with more wear and tear under their belt. If your system has been around for more than a few years, you need to pay close attention to it this kind of year, and watch for signs of wear and tear.
Beware of AC Capacitor Problems
September 5th, 2016Air conditioning season never really ends here in Casselberry, FL, but this is the time of the year when we see the most problems with local systems. Summer has been going for months and with plenty of hot weather still to come, your system is likely under a great deal of strain. Older components may begin to buckle, and if a breakdown occurs, you need to get the problem resolved quickly. In particular, your air conditioner’s capacitors are vulnerable to breakdowns, and when they run into trouble, your whole system may be affected.
Why Get Your Commercial Air Conditioner Serviced?
June 13th, 2016Orlando, FL is based around a tourist economy, which means that businesses want their customers to be as cool and comfortable as possible before visiting Mickey Mouse and Harry Potter. If you run a business in the area, that means your commercial AC is a vital lifeline for your business. If it does down in the heat of the summer, your customers will happily depart and find someone else to meet their needs: costing you a huge amount each and every day it goes without fixing.
A good commercial air conditioning service can perform repairs on a moment’s notice, but far better than performing repairs is preventing the problem from occurring in the first place. For that, you need a quality air conditioning maintenance session, performed once or twice a year from a trained professional. It’s less of a repair than a tune-up: taking care of a lot of little problems and keeping an eye out for bigger ones.
