Summers in Indiana are defined by high temperatures and soaring humidity. That makes our environment a breeding ground for bacteria and germs of all varieties, and they can easily infiltrate your home to cause all manner of mischief. In fact, germs and other biological contaminants can cause a lot of damage in the summer, since we keep our doors and windows locked tight to preserve the cool air generated by our air conditioners. Since HVAC systems circulate the air in your homes when they run, that means the contaminants can stay there for a long time, leading to that stagnant musty feeling in your house as well as passing colds and other illnesses between different family members.

August 14th, 2017Why Does Ice Form on Air Conditioning Coils?
July 31st, 2017
Air conditioning problems are quite common this time of year for obvious reasons. Our AC systems are put to the test each and every day as temperatures climb into the triple digits and beyond sometimes. Ideally, everything will work as intended, but in the event it doesn’t, you need to move quickly. Otherwise, an unexpected breakdown could leave you without proper air conditioning, and turn you home into an oven in the process.
3 Things to Look for in a Commercial AC Service
July 17th, 2017
Commercial air conditioners are even more important than residential air conditioners in many ways. Most of us spend the bulk of our days as a business or retail space, after all, and if you’re either a business owner or an office manager, you know how important a comfortable environment is. A problem with your commercial air conditioners could send customers away in droves, force your employees to work in hot and uncomfortable conditions (or even make you send them home for the day), and even damage key components to your business like computers, which can overheat in the midst of our sweltering Indiana summers.
Spotting a Breach or Leak in Your Ducts
July 3rd, 2017
Centralized heating and air conditioning systems rely on a series of ducts to carry cool air to the various corners of your home. They do the same job in the winter when it comes to hot air from your furnace. They do their jobs well in most cases, and because they’re usually hidden behind the walls or in the attic, they don’t often suffer damage. When they do, however – or even when age and wear-and-tear create leaks or breaches – then it can be very hard to spot the damage.
When Does Your Air Conditioner Need Replacing?
June 19th, 2017
It can be tough to know when your air conditioner needs to be replaced. Air conditioners are expensive and most people run them into the ground before removing an old one and putting a new one in its place. If you don’t think your system is going to make it until the fall, now is the time to act. Doing so allows you to enjoy the increased efficiency and other benefits of a new system, as well as eliminating any worries you may have about breakdowns in the heat of the summer.
Dehumidifiers Make Summer Easier to Handle
June 5th, 2017
Summers in Indiana are stiflingly hot, with temperatures routinely climbing towards triple digits and beyond. But worse than the heat is the high humidity: turning our homes into swamps and reducing everything to a muggy soggy mess. Air conditioners can deal with humidity by default, but they’re not set up to handle the problem the right way, which can add to monthly bills and increase strain on the system overall.
Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Repairs
May 22nd, 2017
Spring is in full bloom, and chances are you’ve already run your air conditioner regularly this year. In a few weeks, you’ll need to run it every day to keep your home cool and comfortable. If there’s a problem with your system, now is the time to have it diagnosed and repaired, before the first real heat wave hits. Otherwise, you might experience an unexpected breakdown in the middle of the hottest day of summer, forcing you to scramble before your home turns into an oven.
Can Ductless Air Conditioning Benefit You?
May 8th, 2017
Most homes in the area rely on central air conditioning, a dependable form of technology that does its job quickly and efficiently. The air is cooled in a single unit and then evenly distributed through your house with a series of ducts. It works quite well, but it’s not the only system out there, and depending upon your needs, your home might do better with an alternative model. In particular, ductless air conditioning systems provide a number of benefits that central air doesn’t, though it depends as always on the specifics of your home. Let’s take a closer look at how ductless air conditioning works.
3 Ways to Improve A/C Performance This Summer
April 24th, 2017
When summer hits in our neck of the woods, we can feel it: not only with high temperatures, but with mugginess and humidity that can turn your home into a swamp.

That reality can often obscure the fact that you’re paying more than you should, however. By taking steps to improve your A/C’s performance this summer, you can take a bite out of those high bills without sacrificing a cool and comfortable home.
