How Zone Control Can Improve Your Air Conditioner Efficiency
Monday, May 25th, 2015Central air conditioning has a lot to recommend it. It’s relatively cheap, easy to use, and can cover quite a lot of ground with a moderately sized system. For all its advantages, though, central air conditioning does have a couple of drawbacks. For one thing, it often relies on a single thermostat to control it. This limits its accuracy to the readings to a single area of the house, which means that other areas might get too much or too little cooling. Second, it can only cool all of the house—or none of it. There is no way for the system to modulate its output to only serve different parts of the house. Fortunately, there’s a solution to both of these problems in the form of zone control. Read on to find out more about zone control, and how it can improve your air conditioner efficiency.

Why You Need to Have Your Air Conditioning Checked Before Summer Starts
Monday, March 30th, 2015There’s a pretty wide variance in the way people treat their air conditioning systems.
Some people just install them, hope for the best, and only call for repairs when the entire system breaks down. Some people make sure to pay close attention to the way their air conditioner behaves, so they can catch problems before they have a chance to extensively damage the system.Finally, some people supplement their vigilance with regular professional maintenance. If you aren’t part of the last group, you should be.
Let’s take a look at why you need to have your air conditioning checked before summer starts.
Cost Benefit Analysis
The main reason that people avoid scheduling preventive maintenance for their air conditioners is that they don’t believe it’s necessary. Why spend the money to have a professional check out the system if there’s nothing wrong with it? The flaw in that line of reasoning is that, while there may not be anything apparently wrong with your system, there could be plenty of developing problems inside it that aren’t outwardly visible. Not all air conditioning problems have obvious symptoms. Usually, the only way to identify these problems is to physically check the part that’s starting to malfunction. Preventive maintenance is the only way to identify and fix these issues before they have the chance to get any worse.
Why Spring Maintenance?
If a system does have any problems or vulnerabilities, they are most likely to be brought out by increased stress. Summer is the time when your air conditioner sees the most use, which makes it the time when your system is most likely to break down. Spring maintenance is a way to make sure that your air conditioner is in top operating condition, right before it is put under the most stress. Now is the time to make sure that your air conditioner is up to the task of keeping you cool all summer.
