The Role Your AC Plays in Your Tripping Circuit Breaker

Monday, July 4th, 2016

Your circuit breaker is your electrical system’s safety device that prevents overload on a particular electrical circuit. There are many reasons that a circuit breaker might turn off, or “trip.” Your air conditioner, which requires enough energy for its own circuit breaker, can sometimes trip after an extreme amount of use.

Consider These Zone Control System Benefits

Monday, June 13th, 2016

Central air conditioning is one of the greatest advances of technology in the country, especially for residents living in this area of Texas. However, as convenient as this type of cooling system is, it does have one considerable drawback. It delivers cooling—and heating—to the entire house without any exception. This means that unoccupied rooms in the home are being conditioned, which is a waste of energy.

This would be akin to having one main switch for your home turning on all your lights, without the option to turn any of them off. Though that’s a bit of an extreme example, it does give you a better idea of just how wasteful central cooling can be if you can’t control the rooms that receive conditioned air. The good news is that there’s a solution: zone control systems.
