“There’s No Cooling Coming from My Cooling System”

September 3rd, 2018

woman-feeling-hot-using-fanThe official end of summer may be just a few weeks away, however, if you’ve lived here for even just a year, then you know how the heat and humidity can linger. Therefore, if something is wrong with your air conditioner, then you want Hendersonville, TN air conditioning repair now, not later.

Given how hard AC systems have to work during this stretch of the year, it should come as no surprise that right about now is when HVAC technicians get a lot of emergency repair calls. Hopefully, you had annual maintenance done at the beginning of summer to prevent the costliest of repairs, but issues can still crop up. And one of the most common repair needs we get calls for is a loss of cooling power.

But why does this happen? Does it just mean your air conditioner is old and needs to be replaced? Well, maybe, but probably not! Below are a few reasons an otherwise healthy air conditioner might have a loss of cooling power.

Need Electrical Service? Only Trust a Trained Pro

August 20th, 2018

American electrical outlet and cover plate, with screwdriver and wire nutsWhen it comes to having electrical work done in your home, you probably know already that there are safety risks involved. But still, it seems more convenient and less costly to try to complete electrical installations and wiring jobs on your own, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, in most cases, you’ll be sacrificing your time and effort in doing so, as well as potentially your safety.

Professional installation is a good way to ensure that the installation job is done correctly, and that the risk of emergency repair needs down the road (not to mention the risk of electrocution or fire) is reduced.

How You Can Benefit from a Solar Attic Fan

July 23rd, 2018

Energy-efficiency-design-concept-with-clear-house-and-blue-sky-backgroundWhen you hear the term “solar,” chances are that you envision a group of solar panels covering your roof in order to power the electrical appliances and equipment in your home. You aren’t wrong. However, that type of installation is not needed for a solar attic fan, which is a small, standalone rooftop ventilation device that is powered by the sun. Similar to other attic fans, they help cool your attic in the summer, and also help in the winter by alleviating condensation issues.

One of the most important things to remember is that as with any other important electrical addition or system, you should only rely on professional electricians in Smyrna, TN for the installation and service of that system, versus trusting the job to amateurs. There are a number of benefits to doing so, including:

AC Trouble: Should You Repair or Replace?

June 11th, 2018

There’s not an appliance out there that lasts forever which probably goes without saying. No matter how well it’s designed or cared for, your household air conditioner has a limited lifespan. Maintaining your ac system is essential for optimal performance and comfort, especially for homeowners concerned about reliability. When it nears the end of that lifespan, it’s a good idea to have the system replaced before it experiences a catastrophic breakdown. Timely service is crucial for customers who rely on their air conditioning to avoid discomfort during breakdowns.

The last thing you want is to end up stuck inside on a hot day (since that’s the most likely time for system stress to cause a failure) with no relief in sight as you rush to schedule an AC replacement (and coincidentally risk not selecting the right system for your home). Additionally, an aging air conditioner will end up wasting money through inefficient operation since not even the most careful maintenance schedule or AC repair in Nashville, TN can maintain its efficiency once it reaches a certain age. Professional air conditioning repair services can help extend the life of your system, but eventually, replacement becomes necessary.
