Ice? No, You Shouldn’t See That on Your Air Conditioner

Monday, July 15th, 2024

Ice in summer is one of the simple pleasures of the season. Just hearing it clink in a glass of a refreshing beverage takes people’s minds far away from their troubles.

So if you notice ice on your AC, you might think it’s good news. The AC keeps your home cool and makes summer easy to get through. That ice must mean the air conditioner is really doing its job.

This is not the case! If you see ice forming along parts of your AC, most likely on the evaporator coil, it means something’s wrong with the cooling system, and it may require calling our Peaden Pros for AC repair in Fort Walton Beach.

Why Proper AC Sizing Is So Important

Monday, July 1st, 2024

When it’s time to get a new central air conditioning system for your home, there a several decision that need to be made about it. One of the most important is the new unit’s size. Size in this case doesn’t refer to the physical space the AC takes up but to the amount of cooling power it has. A successful AC installation requires having an air conditioner that is sized correctly so it is neither underpowered (undersized) or overpowered (oversized).

We need to stress the importance of this sizing process. If your AC is the wrong size for your home and needs, you’ll have numerous problems on your hands from the moment the air conditioner first starts working.

We’ll go into details about why sizing is important and why it’s also best to work with licensed HVAC professionals for an AC installation.

How to Tell You Need Your Home’s Ducts Sealed

Monday, May 20th, 2024

Do you like the ductwork in your home? That’s probably not an easy question to answer, because you don’t often think about your ducts. They’re not part of the decor and you can’t see most of them. If there’s air coming from the vents when you turn on the HVAC system then the ducts are probably … fine?

The truth is, they may be far from fine and you’re not even aware of it. Air leaks in ducts are common, and they can cause plenty of problems. Fixing them requires calling for HVAC pros like our team to schedule duct services in Fort Walton Beach, FL. We can discover if the ventilation system has air leaks, and then use special duct sealing techniques to restore their original airtightness.

(No, duct tape is not the answer. Despite the name, duct tape isn’t actually useful on ducts. Plus, you can’t easily find the leaks on your own.)
