It’s Time to Talk About Your Refrigerant

Monday, March 15th, 2021

As you take your air conditioner out of “retirement” and start fiddling around to get it up and running, refrigerant probably crossed your mind. Perhaps you’ve dealt with refrigerant leaks in the past, or maybe your system is dwindling in terms of comfort and you think it might be because the system doesn’t have enough refrigerant due to a leak. Either way, it might be time to talk about refrigerant and whether or not you require AC repair in Los Angeles, CA.

Before you scoff at that idea, just remember that an air conditioner might still function with a refrigerant leak, but you’re actively doing harm to it when it does.

Our team can help. But first, let’s talk about how you can tell if your system is leaking refrigerant.

Shifting Seasons, Shifting Air

Monday, March 1st, 2021

There’s a pretty interesting reason as to why we use the seasons at all in our calendars. We don’t have to name all the months and have unique names for each season and solstice, but we do. That’s because the weather can shift a lot and so does the indoor air quality of our homes.

Sure, the weather doesn’t dramatically shift in southern California as it might in other areas of the country, but it still shifts. With those shifts come contaminants that are picked up by winds, melted ice on mountain tops, and other allergens that can swiftly come into play in the spring months.

Now that spring is about to begin, it’s high time to think about an air filtration system in Los Angeles, CA. These units can filter out allergens, dust, debris, and whatever else might be coming your way in the next few months.

Combat Humidity with a Dehumidifier

Monday, July 20th, 2020

What’s worse, heat or humidity? That’s a tough question since we’re constantly associating the sweat and discomfort of summer with the heat from the sun. However, we’d argue humidity is the real villain of the summertime weather. The muggy weather of summertime is responsible for us feeling sticky, sweaty, uncomfortable, and hotter than average. So, it’s important to combat this humidity with an effective dehumidifier.

Many homeowners think they need to choose between a dehumidifier and an air conditioner. Some homeowners even think that they do the same job, and that purchasing a dehumidifier is redundant. That couldn’t be further from the truth!

Dehumidifiers are tools that contribute to comfortable homes. They can work together with your air conditioner to provide dry, cool homes when we want them. Take it from us, the experts on all things indoor air quality systems. Keep reading as we discuss the details of dehumidification.
