Keeping Cool This Summer

July 17, 2017

It was a tough winter here in Northeast Ohio, and heating homes and businesses was no small task. Let’s forget about keeping warm for a little while and let’s think about keeping cool and saving money. The best way to save money on your summer cooling bill is to adjust the thermostat according to your schedule. Keep the temperature between 70 and 75 degrees when you’re home, but crank it up to 80 degrees when you aren’t. You may want to pair higher AC temperatures with using your ceiling fans which use much less energy. The harder your air conditioner works, the more money it will cost to run. If you can, move room units to the north side of the house where it isn’t as hot. Units in the shade use 10 percent less energy than those in the sun. If you have a heat pump that can’t be relocated, consider planting some trees or shrubs nearby but don’t plant them too closely. Vegetation that is too close will also cause your system to work harder. If your cooling system is older than 10 years old, it may be time to consider some new equipment.

June 21, 2017

An HVAC unit needs proper airflow to keep the cold coil warm. Warm air is needed for the coil to stay cold, keeping the temperature above freezing. Without a steady supply of warm air, coils will freeze before condensed water can be drained away. Since closed air registers and dirty air filters can block the flow of air, we recommend checking your HVAC air filter to make sure registers are both open and clear. A freeze up can also occur because of low levels of refrigerant, which makes coils too cold. A malfunctioning fan can also be at fault, since it can prevent air from moving the way it should. Drainage issues and a broken thermostat can also be the culprit when you’re looking for answers to freezing issues. An A/C unit condenses water vapor into liquid, which drains outside. If the coils are frozen, ice will block the drain hole. While...
