If you’re like many other homeowners, when you hear the term “air quality,” you might think about the air outside, not the air inside. We get it–we don’t think many homeowners think about their indoor air quality at all unless it’s so bad you can’t ignore it (we hope it never gets to that point!)

Unfortunately, the truth is the air you’re breathing might not be as healthy as you think. You also might not be as comfortable as you could be. Many folks think that all they need for air filtration indoors is their HVAC air filter, but this air filter is meant to protect the equipment itself, not your indoor air!

No, for that, you’ll want to consider the installation of a whole-home air purifier. Read on to learn more!

So, you’re in the market for a new air conditioning installation. At least, we’re going to take a guess that is why you’ve come across this blog post. If you have the budget, you’re likely tempted to purchase the biggest and best air conditioner you can find, right? That’s a great idea… except that it can actually be too big!

Yup, that’s right. An air conditioner can actually be too large for the space in which it is installed. Homeowners usually don’t consider this possibility–they know that an air conditioner can be too small but don’t really think about it the other way around. But in actuality, an oversized (overpowered) air conditioner can be just as detrimental to home comfort and the efficiency of your air conditioner as an undersized (underpowered) air conditioner.

We see people ask this a lot. And we’re about to share the steps—but not because we think you should ever try to install your own whole-home air conditioner. Doing so can result in an inefficient system, HVAC system damage, or even property damage. Air conditioners are complex, and installing them requires a trained and experienced professional.

We do understand the sense of urgency here. While we are still experiencing chiller temperatures, anyone who has lived here for even just a year knows how variable our weather can be. Who knows when we’ll need our air conditioners—it can be two months from now or two weeks from now!

So if you need a new air conditioner, you’re probably thinking now you need to rush. But we really encourage you to give the professionals a call, instead of rushing into a purchase and installation that could leave you regretting your decision. Here’s what will happen when you call us for your air conditioner installation:

Well, it’s a year or less from the last time you had furnace maintenance done!

That’s right, what matters most in this case is how often you have maintenance done. For furnaces, maintenance is recommended once a year. Alternatively, if you have a year-round heat pump system then you’ll want a tune-up done twice a year.
