Do You Think Your Air Conditioner May Have a Refrigerant Leak?

November 2nd, 2015

An electro-mechanical system like your air conditioner can develop a number of problems. Among the more common problems the cooling professionals from Climate Masters see are refrigerant leaks. The thing to keep in mind about these kinds of leaks is that they aren’t always visible.

Now Is a Great Time to Schedule Maintenance for Your Heat Pump

October 19th, 2015

“Winter” in St. Augustine, FL is a somewhat debatable season, but that’s what makes our area such a good climate for using a heat pump: the consistent warm temperatures. When we do experience cooler temperatures, you can easily change your heat pump from cooling to heating by pressing a button. The bottom line, though, with a heat pump system is that it is a 2-in-1 device, so it runs for most of the year. This is very different from having two separate systems, one providing heat and the other providing cool air. Owning a system that does it all means that system needs bi-annual maintenance to stay on track, and our fall weather provides the perfect window of opportunity to have your heat pump professionally maintained by the HVAC pros at Climate Masters.

Problems Caused by Faulty Ductwork

September 28th, 2015

Odds are, you don’t think too much about your ductwork. And to be fair, they are placed inside walls, above ceilings and in the floors so you don’t have to.

Why Do People Use UV Lights?

September 21st, 2015

Making sure your indoor air is clean and healthy is important for your health, your home and your personal belongings. One challenging aspect of cleaning indoor air is the removal of biological contaminants. Micro-organisms tend to be very small particles, typically 0.3 microns or smaller. This means some of them can evade the filter media of an air filtration system or even bypass certain types of electronic air cleaners. However, there is one type of air purifier that is designed to eliminate biological contaminants: UV germicidal lighting.
