Many of us don’t really think about our air conditioning units. Air filters need to be changed regularly to ensure that you are living and breathing in clean air. The slide in filters removes dust, dirt, dander, debris, and pollution. They help with allergies and keep your home smelling fresh. Having a dirty air conditioning filter not only reduces your air quality, but it also restricts the flow of the air making your unit work harder than it should need…
Installing the right central air conditioning unit for your space and setting it correctly can save money on your monthly energy bill. Here in Florida, our FPL bill skyrockets during the summer because we all crank down the temperature in an effort to beat the heat. What everyone deems comfortable is different. This can cause family arguments and problems over where to leave the setting. It may take some compromise but keep in mind that its worth it as you…
Most people, if asked, would say that air conditioners pump cold air into your home. While that isn’t exactly a wrong answer, it’s not exactly correct either. Mostly an AC unit works by transference of heat. When heat is removed, the cool air remains and lowers the temperature in your home. To better grasp the concept lets take a look at the components involved: The outdoor unit and the indoor unit. They must work together, all year long here in…
A great way to see how your Air Conditioning unit is holding up is to take your power bill from last year and compare it to the same months this year in 2018. If it has taken a significant rise you may want to call your local AC company such as All Day Air Cooling & Heating to come and just check out and do a maintenance call on your unit to make sure it’s running at top speed. It…
If you are a business owner or manager who is currently in the market for a new commercial cooling system, there are some very important considerations to take into account before making any final decisions. Running a business comes with its own unique set of challenges, one of which is how to create and maintain an environment that is comfortable for everyone who works there – lord knows we all like it a different temperature and fighting over a thermostat…
Is it just us or does it seem more humid than ever before? As we got ready to head out to see clients today all it took was a few minutes loading the vans before we noticed we were covered in a light dew only partly seemed to be sweat. The air is heavy with moisture and that makes it feel even hotter than it actually is here in Southwest Florida. August is one of the warmest times of the…
Before last years mess with Hurricane Irma, I think many of us Floridians had become rather complacent when it came to storms. It had been a number of years since the last one that did any real damage to the area. The amount of rain and flooding we experienced in areas of Southwest Florida was astounding. It flooded streets, homes, and caused a great deal of destruction. We are now starting back to the beginning of summer storm season. We get…
If you live in Florida you know how hot it can get and how difficult it can be to stay cool. You walk out the door and a wall of heat hits you, usually especially for the months of July, August, and September. With added high humidity the only respite is the fact that nearly all homes and virtually all businesses have air conditioning. It was a brilliant invention and has helped keep Floridians and visitors comfortable for decades. How…
If you see your AC unit dripping you may wonder if there is an issue. Air conditioners are designed to remove moisture from the air. Part of the effect of this moisture removal is that the resultant air winds up cold, and pumping the cold, dry air throughout the house makes our living environment more comfortable. However, that water that the AC pulls out of the air has to go somewhere. In a perfectly working air conditioning system, some of…
You may be surprised to hear that indoor air can actually be 2 to 5 times more polluted that its outdoor counterpart! This is where a good HVAC system (heating and cooling) comes in. HVAC simply equals fresher air. Even just the ordinary paper filters help to remove dust, dirt, bacteria, and mold from the air being recirculated throughout your home, but when you add in an air purifier it takes it to a whole other level. The question becomes…
