technician-outdoor-unitIt’s been a pretty hot and humid summer thus far. That’s unlikely to change much any time soon.

Monday, June 1st, 2020

money-in-grassEven in Vermont, where temperatures are much more well-known for the extreme cold than the heat, a reliable air conditioner is an invaluable resource. Summer may take a while to get going, but when it does, it can hit pretty hard. That’s why an inefficient air conditioner is just as big a deal as an inefficient or unreliable heater. It may not see quite the same level of use, but you still don’t want to be overpaying for your comfort.

Monday, April 23rd, 2018

Why Is My AC Leaking Water?

Monday, July 3rd, 2017

woman-with-fanWell that’s strange, you think as you step in a puddle surrounding your air conditioning system. It appears that my air conditioner has sprung a leak. Never seen that before. While you are not hallucinating or imagining the fact that there is water surrounding your indoor AC unit, the fact is that your air conditioner does not actually use water in its cooling process.

Why Are There Hot Spots in My Home?

Monday, April 24th, 2017

temperatures-risingWe are still waiting for the weather to really warm up around here. We have definitely had some warmer days lately, but we’re also not ready to start running our ACs just yet, either. That’s not a bad thing, though. Sure, after our winter season we are all ready to start enjoying warmer weather. That being said, this is a great chance to take care of some serious business, such as scheduling routine air conditioning maintenance.

While professional maintenance is without a doubt the best way in which to protect your home cooling system and the quality of its overall operation, even this will not make your system 100% reliable. At some point, you are going to encounter issues with your AC in Charelstown. That is why you should be on the lookout for early warning signs, such as hot spots popping up throughout your home.
