We’ve seen a fair amount of homes in our time with highly efficient and technologically advanced HVAC systems paired with old thermostats that might have been from the ’70s. While we’re not going to fault anyone for their aesthetic preferences (some of those old thermostats look pretty groovy!), we do think that it’s time that homeowners evaluated the importance of their thermostats. After all, a thermostat is a piece of technology that performs a vital function for a home!
A smart thermostat in Burlington County can be a great investment when you’re looking to cut down on your energy bill and keep things comfortable. Not to mention that thousands of people will attest in Mount Holly, Lumberton, and Evesham that smart thermostats make things so much more convenient! Today, we’d like to talk about how these systems work and why they’re such a great investment.
We don’t want to be alarmist. For most homeowners, the signs are pretty obvious when something is wrong with an air conditioner, and getting them addressed by a professional is the first step toward successful temperature control. However, there are many people who don’t understand how their air conditioners work, and thus, how problems happen. This means that a grinding or hissing noise coming from an AC unit is more likely to be ignored because a homeowner just doesn’t know what that is!
Look, we know that hearing the word “might” is not the best thing for a homeowner. Wouldn’t it be easier to hear that your AC absolutely needs a tune-up? The problem with that is that every AC is different and you might have already gotten AC maintenance in the past few months, which means you don’t need one again. Or, you might have a heat pump, in which case you need maintenance twice a year instead of just once!
Have you recently invested in new technology that’s completely changed your perspective on things? Many of our customers tell us about their smart technology, like responsive Bluetooth speakers that can play any of their music by listening to their request, and they wish there were something like that for their HVAC system. Well, there is something like that for your HVAC system, and we’d like to talk about it today.
Springtime is a time when we start to think deeply about our indoor air quality. The level of contaminants in your home is going to directly impact how comfortable you are, and while temperatures are warming up, we have an opportunity to open the windows and vent things out a little bit. However, just opening a window isn’t really going to cut it this year.
Things aren’t as cut and dry as they might seem when it comes to air conditioning. Some air conditioners are completely broken down and require repair, others are working but not to the best of their ability, and some are in amazing shape. The lifespan and condition of an air conditioning system, just like your car or your home, is a spectrum that requires yearly attention and best practices to make the most of.
Allergies are a tough concept to cover. People who suffer from allergies can feel marginalized since there are many people who don’t feel the effects of pollen and allergens in the air. And, to make things even harder for people who deal with allergies in the spring, it’s an unavoidable part of the year that you can’t really get around. Every spring, the snow melts, and the plants release their pollen to reproduce. This is just the way things go.
Springtime is officially here! Before we get into talking about air conditioners, it would be a good idea to enjoy the season for what it is! Temperatures are going to be milder, which means you can spend more time doing fun things outdoors. We don’t really have to worry about heat for another couple of months at least, so why not start planning out the garden and start doing some hikes?
We want homeowners to be excited about their heating systems, especially when they’ve got a professional team like ours on hand to fix them. This is important because of how bad it can be when homeowners try to do repairs themselves. DIY projects are fun and can be a great way to save money, when it’s just building a garden outdoors or painting a wall in your home, but your HVAC system is a much different thing.
It’s no surprise that
