If you think the only reason you should change your air filter is due to the allergens and particles in your indoor air, you’re only partially right.
Many homeowners do, in fact, assume that a dirty air filter is an issue because it keeps the air in their homes dirty, and that this is why we advise to change that air filter every 1-3 months. So if you aren’t suffering from allergies in the moment, this means your air filter is fine where it is, right?
Well, not quite—you see, while an air filter does help with indoor air quality, this is not actually its intended purpose. Rather, it is in place to protect the interior components of your air conditioner, or forced air heater. Read on to learn more, and to get the answer as to why you must change your air filter.
Air conditioners are fairly quiet systems—at least in the last handful of years they’ve been manufactured to operate as quietly as possible, especially if you have an inverter drive central air conditioner. However, no cooling system will ever be silent—you’ll always hear the outdoor unit cycling on and off, and you’ll never miss the whoosh of air coming through your room vents.
Also referred to as the ductless mini-split, the ductless system is known for its efficiency, efficacy, and space-saving nature. They provide residents throughout St. Augustine and beyond with year-round comfort, all with just the flip of a switch—something we’ll expand on later in this post.
Summer hasn’t officially started, but for those of us in Florida, does it ever really end?
When you live in a climate like ours, air conditioning systems aren’t just a luxury, they’re a necessity. If you want comfort and a decent quality of life, you need yours to work impeccably.
Springtime is here—it’s the time of year that we encourage homeowners to schedule their annual maintenance for their air conditioners. We do so this time of the year because it’s a season when HVAC technicians aren’t as busy with emergency calls—while we never get a huge reprieve from the heat, temperatures are on the relatively mild side for now.
While other parts of the country are still using their heaters on a fairly regular basis, here in Florida we’re ready to say hello to our air conditioners again for another 9 months or so. That’s a lot of work for your air conditioner to go through! Is it ready?
Relatively speaking, it’s still fairly cool out for now. In fact, you may even still be using your heating system pretty consistently at night. But we do live in Florida after all, which means soon enough your attention will turn to your cooling needs. When that happens, don’t you want to make sure that your air conditioner is well prepared for all the work that’s about to be expected of it?
We can’t exactly say our weather around here is predictable, but we can say that you typically don’t have to worry about using your heater much longer this season. Before you shut if off though, it’s important to tackle any heating repair needs that might be lingering—delaying these can be a big mistake.
Are you considering a more efficient way of heating your home? Considering how briefly we deal with chilly temperatures when compared to the rest of the country, it makes sense that you want to pay as little as possible for your heating needs.
