It’s March, and March means the start of spring… although not until later in the month. But we are already experiencing hotter weather here in the Shreveport area. The temperatures can go through major shifts during March, a month that is proverbially known for its unpredictability. (Does it enter like a lion and leave like a lamb, or is it the other way around?) You may still need your heating system in the coming weeks, but if you’re wondering if it’s time to consider scheduling air conditioning maintenance, the answer is a big “yes.”

Monday, June 27th, 2016
We’ve written before about some of the maintenance jobs that you can do on your own over the summer to take the best care of you air conditioning system. The most important is to always schedule a professional inspection and tune-up for it during the spring.

A Few Details about Your AC’s Air Filter

Two weeks ago, we wrote a blog post to address one of the questions we hear frequently from our customers: “How often do I need to change my air conditioning system’s air filter?” The answer ranges between 1 to 6 months, depending both on your household and the type of filter in the HVAC system.

When you arrange for professional maintenance for you air conditioning system (something you must have done every spring), one of the tasks that the technician does is replacing or cleaning the air filter.

How to Clean the Air Filter in Your Air Conditioning System
Monday, July 20th, 2015
One of the ways to keep your air conditioning bills down during the summer is to make sure that your AC always has a clean air filter. This filter isn’t designed to cleanse your home’s air; it protects the interior of the air conditioner from debris that enters through the return air ducts. As the air conditioner works during the summer months, the filter will collect dust and lint; eventually, it will become so clogged that it will choke off airflow and make the AC strain to work—and that means higher bills.
Why Refrigerant Leaks Can Occur in Your Air Conditioning System
Monday, July 13th, 2015
Last week on our blog, we discussed the seriousness of refrigerant leaking from an air conditioning system. We’ll emphasize this once again: loss of refrigerant charge in an air conditioner is something that you must have professionals fix immediately!
