How much can your AC cool your house? It’s an interesting question, and it’s one you may have asked yourself at some point. The AC has a maximum, of course: you know you can’t get it as cold as the inside of a freezer, and the thermostat has a low-end setting (often around 60°F). But what is the AC truly capable of doing?

The reason we’re addressing this question is more than just to sate people’s curiosity. Understanding the limits of an air conditioning systems’ cooling capacity will help you know how much to rely on it and how much you can push it—and if you should even push it.

The compressor is the heart of the AC, responsible for the circulation of refrigerant that allows the unit to move heat from inside your home and deposit it outside. The powerful and complex device can’t be easily repaired if it fails. When a compressor dies, professionals will need to replace it. Because of the cost of a compressor, it’s usually more cost-effective to replace the entire AC instead.

To help you know when you’ve got a compressor in trouble so you can possibly avoid an early air conditioning replacement in Panama City, FL, we’ll list warning signs to watch for that you’ve got a compressor that’s in trouble.

Attic Fans Can Make a Big Difference for Your Home

Monday, May 6th, 2024
Insulation-rolls-in-attic

Fans are an inexpensive way to stay cool. A fan doesn’t lower the temperature in a room, but it does create air currents that help people to feel cooler. The movement of air removes the heat envelope from around a person’s body so they can release more heat and cool down. Basically, fans create wind chill, but you can control it so it only affects you when you want to be chilled.

But then you hear about attic fans and might wonder, “Why would I want to make the attic feel cooler? I hardly go up there.” Attic fans do a different job from the standard fans you might be thinking about, but they have a similar result of a cooler house and lower energy bills. 

We install attic fans in Panama City, FL, and we’d like to take some time today to explain how they work and how they can benefit you (even in winter).
