Don’t Hesitate if You Need Air Conditioning Installation

Monday, May 7th, 2018

air-conditioning-installationTemperatures are rising every day, and soon enough, every home in the Fort Wayne area is going to need their air conditioner to run on a daily basis. If you need a new air conditioner installed in your home, now is the time to do so. Hesitating could be a big mistake.

Why? Because installing a new air conditioner now means that you’ll avoid a number of issues later on in the summer, such as inefficient operation and flat-out breakdowns. Dealing with such issues in the middle of a heat wave isn’t something anyone wants to deal with. Installing the system now means you’ll be covered by the warranty all summer long – and many summers to come as well – and the improved efficiency of a new unit means that those monthly air conditioning bills won’t be nearly as high as they might otherwise.

Time to Get Your Air Conditioner Serviced!

Monday, April 9th, 2018

The weather is still comparatively cool here in April, and you probably haven’t had much call for your air conditioner yet this year. That’s going to change, however, and by the time the first hot day arrives, you’re going to need your air conditioner to function reliably, for days on end in some cases.

Naturally, no one wants their system to break down right in the middle of a heat wave, and a good repair service can move quickly to correct that problem if necessary. But we believe that it’s better to prevent the problem from starting in the first place than to deal with it after it’s already caused a lot of damage. In order to do that, you should schedule an air conditioning servicing session now, before the temperatures get much warmer.
