How do I know my air conditioner needs to be repaired?

Your air conditioner will give you signs that something isn’t right. These include the inability to maintain a consistent temperature and warm air blowing through the registers. You may also notice odd smells or hear strange sounds. One of the most common signs is short-cycling, which means the unit turns on/off suddenly and frequently.

Are heat pumps effective at cooling down the home?

The name sounds counterintuitive, but heat pumps effectively suck the heat from within your home and transfer it outside. They are highly effective at delivering significant heating/cooling capacity. Because it’s a single unit, many clients enjoy the fact that they no longer need both an air conditioner and furnace to keep them comfortable throughout the year.

Can an air conditioner help improve indoor air quality?

Air conditioners are an effective tool that can help control indoor humidity levels. However, by themselves, they can’t improve indoor air quality. You will need to install an indoor air purifier that works in conjunction with your heating/cooling system for maximum benefit.

What are some simple things I can do to ease the pressure on my air conditioner system?

Reducing the wear and tear on your air conditioner system starts by taking active measures to seal your home. For example, make sure to caulk/weather-strip all windows and doors, add curtains to your windows, and avoid cooking, cleaning, or washing during the hottest parts of the day. You should also remember to turn your AC down during the evening hours and during those times you’re away during the day.

How can I tell if the refrigerant is leaking?

Refrigerant is toxic, and you should not ignore any leaks you may notice. Even so, many clients in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky don’t know how to spot a leak. Common signs of a leak can include warm air blowing through the registers, holes or cracks in the refrigerant line (often accompanied by a hissing sound), and of course, fluid pooling around the unit. Leaks are often found on the capillary tube, flare fittings, or along the evaporator coil.
