The Best Benefits of Choosing a Ductless AC/Heating System

Monday, September 4th, 2023

Once upon a time, there were only two options available for a home when it came to air conditioning:

Multiple window air conditioning units
A central air conditioning system using ductwork

These two choices didn’t offer much space between them: if a house didn’t have ductwork, it had to use window ACs or else go through the expense of having parts of the house remodeled to add it. Window ACs were ugly, inconvenient, and low-powered.

However, now there’s a third option: ductless mini split heat pumps. These systems combine the benefits of central air conditioning (you can have cooling throughout the house) with window ACs (no need to add ducts or modify the house in any way). Plus, they come with additional benefits that make them arguably the best all-around choice. We’ll explain the top benefits of considering ductless AC in Greenville, SC for your house.

Why Is Water Leaking From My Air Conditioner?

Monday, August 7th, 2023

When your air conditioner is running, you may occasionally hear the sounds of water dripping inside it. This is a normal sound to hear: it’s condensate moisture from the cooling process getting moved out of the AC. Like any part of an air conditioner, the condensate drainage system can malfunction and lead to water leaking out of the unit.

If you see water pooling around your HVAC cabinet indoors, you’ll want to have the problem corrected as soon as possible with professional AC repair in Greenville, SC. Leaving this unaddressed not only threatens parts of your home with water damage, it can cause the air conditioner to shut off, lose efficiency, and become damaged.

What can go wrong that will lead to these water leaks? We’ll look at the causes more below.

How Long Will a Heat Pump Last?

Monday, July 10th, 2023

Heat pumps are wonderful devices. They pack both heating and cooling into a single package that runs entirely on electricity, and they can operate at high levels of energy efficiency, especially when compared to using an electric furnace.

We’d all love it if heat pumps had no expiration dates, if they just could run and run and keep our homes comfortable year after year, regardless of the season. This isn’t reality, however, as any mechanical device will wear down with time. If you take good care of your heat pump, you can get a good, long service life out of it, but eventually you’ll need to contact us to schedule heat pump replacement in Greenville, SC.

So, when will your heat pump come to the end of its lifespan?

Does a Dead Compressor Mean I Need to Get a New AC System?

Monday, June 26th, 2023

The compressor is the component of an air conditioner that uses the most power to operate. Arguably, it’s the most important AC component. Without the compressor, an air conditioner cannot carry out the process of heat exchange that allows it to pump heat out of a house and cool it down.

You might have heard that if the compressor for your AC fails, that means the entire air conditioning system is shot and you need to replace it. That’s a big and expensive move—but is it true that a dead compressor means the end of your AC?

Well, sometimes it does. But not always. Below we’ll look at the different scenarios for HVAC replacement in Greenville, SC when you have a failed compressor.

There are four different options you have when the compressor for your AC dies:

Rattle, Clang, Hiss: Warning Sounds From Your AC

Monday, May 15th, 2023

As summer gets underway, it’s a good idea to know some of the ways that ACs can give us warnings they aren’t in the best condition. The easiest way to tell when an AC is malfunctioning is when it stops sending out cool air. But we want to help you get ahead of a “no cool” air conditioner if possible with some tips on warning signs you can watch for. Or, in the case of this post, listen for.

Strange sounds are one of the easiest ways to determine that you’ve got a cooling system that needs professional air conditioning repair in Greenville, SC. Anything that isn’t the standard sounds you hear from your AC—the whirring of fan blades, the hum of the compressor, the occasional drip of water, a few clicks as it shuts off—are reasons for concern. Below we’ll look over the most common warning sounds.
