There are, in fact, a few things that homeowners can do while they wait for professional services. From running your ceiling fan to blocking out sunlight, we’ll help reduce your home’s temperature by a few degrees.
Humidity and air temperature are intertwined in many ways. When temperatures drop in the wintertime, humidity also drops because cold temperatures reduce humidity and cause the air to dry up. Similarly with heat during the summertime, more hot temperatures mean more water getting evaporated and existing in the atmosphere as water vapor. Basically, you can’t think about air conditioning without also thinking about humidity!
Your air conditioner needs to function properly in order to cool your home the way you want it to. The more problems that are persisting, the higher your repair bill will be and the more uncomfortable your home will feel. This isn’t our opinion as much as it is a fact of life!
A good many homeowners in our area think that ductless systems are strictly reserved for people without air ducts. If you sadly look at your air ducts and wish that you could just get rid of them and invest in a nifty ductless system, then surprise—you can! While ductless systems are definitely a different type of cooling system when compared to a central AC, they’re perfect for many homes and can easily be a step in the right direction.
What would you say if someone told you to change the oil in your car “sometimes”? You’d be frustrated, right? This is pretty irresponsible because sometimes could be looked at by some car owners as every few years, which is way too long to go without changing your car’s oil. The same concept should be applied to your air conditioner.
We’d be lying if we told you that you should never be stressed out about a problem with your AC. Just like our cars, our homes, and other responsibilities in our lives, it can be stressful trying to keep everything in good condition and running smoothly. We talk to homeowners all the time who feel either guilty or stressed out about their air conditioner problems last year that never got addressed. Now that the temperatures are starting to warm up, those AC repair ghosts are coming back to haunt us!
Are you on the lookout for a new AC installation? Just because it’s fall here in Shreveport doesn’t mean you can’t use a new AC system to keep you comfortable for the next decade. Too many homeowners focus on one aspect of AC installation, the cost, and ignore everything else. We’re here to list at least five other important details to consider when you invest in a new system like this.
When it comes to this kind of question, it’s important that we’re 100% honest with you. Untrustworthy HVAC amateurs aren’t helpful when they tell you that an air conditioner removes all the problematic moisture from your home. Likewise, if they lie and say that air conditioners don’t dehumidify, then they’re not doing a very good job either. The answer, like most answers in life, is somewhere in the middle.
Here in Shreveport, it’s important to take care of your air conditioner. Temperatures and relative humidity levels can get absurd and often our air conditioners are the first line of defense. They take care of us, keep us happy, and they make our lives easier.
Air conditioners work in cycles. Did you know that?
