We get it, it’s hot and you need help. This is probably the worst time to hear about air conditioning repair because worrying about both the heat and the price of a fix is enough to give you a headache. Well, don’t worry. We’re not the kind of team to badger you about something you already know. Our phone lines are always open and we’ll help fix your air conditioner as soon as you call us.
But what if you’ve already called us? You might be looking for a bit of help staying cool while an HVAC company in Shreveport, LA comes to get your system running again. That’s what this blog post is for!
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!
Do you have a lot of trouble dealing with your commercial air conditioner? Many business or building owners might say no, but there are problems occurring right under their noses that are leading to things like revenue loss, customers leaving, and even complaints that could turn into legal trouble. Your air conditioning, especially during our hot and humid summers, is of the utmost importance. If you’re not investing in the right
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.
We know that every home is different. It probably sounds strange when we say that these three systems we’re about to talk about are perfect for your home, but think about it this way: If we said that a heater or an air conditioner was perfect for every home, you’d probably agree with us! When temperatures skyrocket and things are sweaty and uncomfortable, we can’t think of a home that would be better off without an AC.
UV air purifiers are awesome. We recommend them to homeowners all over the area because they’re so good at keeping homes safe and protected, while also not getting in the way. They’re not like portable air purifiers that need to sit in front of the TV, puffing gusts of air into your face. They instead lie stealthily in your air ducts to intercept any and all microorganisms that would seek to do you harm and eliminate them right under your nose.
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.
At this point, we can admit that it’s been hard not to panic about indoor air quality over the past year. With newfound knowledge about how viruses spread, mutate, and affect our lives, people have been scrambling to try and combat this growing threat. That being said, it’s important to look at the overall health of a home, and not just how well it keeps away viruses.
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!
