Why changing your air filter is essential to your AC unit

 

Cedar Falls AC MaintenanceThe heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit, or HVAC, in your home is a very important piece of equipment. This means that it needs to be taking care of properly on a regular basis. Proper maintenance of your air conditioner should be performed on a regular basis to ensure optimal performance of the system. This means consistently replacing the air filter in a timely manner. Not doing so can cause some significant problems with the air conditioning unit.

Not changing the air filter in your home in a timely manner can lead to a build up of dirt, dust and other types of debris. This stuff can float through the ventilation system in your home and can cause problems with you or your family’s respiratory system. Changing the air filter in your home in a timely manner will ensure that the air filter stays clean and free of debris. This will lead to cleaner and more breathable air in your home.

Cedar Falls Air Filter ReplacementChanging the air filter in your home in a timely manner can also save you money on your monthly energy costs. This is because a clogged air filter does not allow air to flow through it as easily as if it were clean. This means that the air conditioner has to work harder in order to produce the same kind of results. Changing the filter will allow the air to flow much more easily because there will not be any type of debris or dirt obstructing the air flow. This should in turn lead to a decrease in your monthly energy expenses.

Cooler air during the summer months and warmer air during the winter months is another reason you should change your air filter in a timely manner. Due to weaker air flow from a clogged filter, the air cannot flow as easily as it could if the air filter were clean. This means that the air during the cooler months will feel much warmer and the air during the warmer months will seem much more cooler. This is why it is important to change your air filter in a timely manner.

Why you should get a high efficiency AC unit for your home

 

Cedar Falls AC InstallationWhich is a better buy? A higher priced air conditioner? The cheapest air conditioner one can find? When buying an air conditioner one should not look at the price or how new an AC unit is, but focus on the quality. The fact is that purchasing a high efficiency air conditioner proves to be a more profitable investment than a cheaper air conditioner. On the surface the price for a high efficiency air conditioner may be higher but will save one more energy and lessen the cost of energy bills down the road. This will allow one to save more money from energy bills which in turn allows one to save more money if they were to buy a cheap AC unit.

The second reason it is better to buy a high efficiency AC unit is because it is a green investment. One leaves less of a carbon foot print and reduces the amount of pollution by buying a high efficiency AC unit. A green investment such as a high efficiency AC unit will also increase the value of one’s own home encase the homeowner is thinking of selling their home in the future. This is because a house’s green features are progressively becoming more important to those looking to buy a home.

Cedar Falls AC ServicesThe last benefit to buying a high efficiency AC unit is because it has more functionality than a cheaper model would have. One of the most important functions that a high efficiency AC unit has is better control of the manipulation of the temperature. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to the perfect room temperature. It is worth buying an AC unit that can achieve in finding one’s own perfect room temperature instead of making it so one has to settle with whatever temperature the cheaper AC unit can handle. Another bonus of a high efficiency AC unit is that it is less prone to break down. If one settles for a cheaper unit and it ends up breaking down. Then one would spend the money they saved in buying a cheaper unit by having to buy another new AC unit.

Certainly getting a high efficiency AC unit is a bit higher in terms of price. However, when making such an investment it is better to invest in something that will definitely serve its purpose to one’s preferred standards.

What should I do during a plumbing emergency?

June 4th, 2014

Handling a Plumbing Emergency

Seeing an overflow of water can cause anyone to go into a panic, but it’s important to stay calm. Plumbing emergencies can cause much damage to your home. In order to decrease the amount of damage, follow the tips below and remember to keep your composure.

Seeing a lot of unexplained water in your home is a sure way to identify that a plumbing emergency has occurred. The cause of such an emergency could be burst pipes, overflowing toilets, broken water heater, or a defective faucet. Once you realize that you have a plumbing emergency it is important to shut the water supply off. This can be done two ways. If you know the cause of your plumbing emergency then you can shut off the water to that particular faucet or appliance. If you are unaware of where the water is coming from then you may choose to shut off the main water valve. Remember that if you choose to turn of the main valve, this will shut off all water in the home. The main valve is usually located outside of your home or in your basement.

Once you have shut the water off it is now time to contain the water. Towels, buckets, blankets and other materials can be used to soak up or scoop out the collected water. This step is important because it can prevent your home from being exposed to water damage. If your toilet overflowing was the cause of your emergency then this step can help to remove toxins and bacteria.

Now that your plumbing emergency has been contained it is now time to contact a plumber. A plumber will be able to fix your current situation while accessing your home to identify any areas in your plumbing system that may be weak. Allowing the plumber to access your plumbing system is an important step because it can help to prevent any additional plumbing emergencies from occurring in the future.

Remember that staying calm and adhering to these steps can decrease the amount of damage that is caused to your home.
