Exploring HVAC Maintenance and Repairs

Hi there, my name is Michelle. I created this site to talk to you about maintaining your HVAC system on your own and with help from contractors. Your HVAC system controls the temperature and air quality in your home. When this system starts to malfunction, you may notice a decrease in your comfort levels. You can perform preventative maintenance to keep this system running year round. From these posts you'll hopefully be able to learn about DIY and professional maintenance tasks that need to be performed regularly. My site will also cover common faults and repairs for HVAC components. Thank you.

Still Using Window-Mounted Air Conditioners? 4 Reasons To Have A Central AC Installed Instead

If you're still using window-mounted air conditioning units, make the switch to a central air conditioning system. You might think window-mounted air conditioning units are the best way to cool your home, but that's not the case. There are actually quite a few benefits to be enjoyed by investing in a central air conditioning unit. Here are four of those benefits you might not have considered. 

Enjoy Whole-House Comfort

If your home is cooled by window-mounted air conditioning units, your summers might not be as comfortable as you'd like them to be. In order to cool down your entire home, you'll need to install at least one window-mounted air conditioner in each room of your home. Unfortunately, that still might not be enough to keep your entire home cool during the summer. That's where a central air conditioning system comes into the picture. With a central air conditioning system, cool air will reach every room in the house. That means you'll enjoy whole-house comfort throughout the summer. 

Reap Money-Saving Opportunities

If you're cooling your home with window-mounted air conditioners, you might think you're saving money on your cooling costs. But, that's not necessarily the case. Each one of those window-mounted units is using electricity to cool down your home. You might not realize this, but all of those window-mounted air conditioners are using more electricity than that one single central air conditioning unit. That means you'll save money on your cooling bills by ditching the window-mounted units and investing in a central air conditioning system for your home. 

Avoid Heat-Related Home Damage

If you cool down your home with window-mounted air conditioners during the summer, your home may suffer the consequences. Extreme heat can do considerable damage to your home. Not only can it damage your window coverings and flooring, but it can also cause damage to your furniture. In fact, the heat that escapes through the roof can also damage your insulation and roofing material. When you install a new central air conditioning system for your home, you won't need to worry about those risks. Your central air conditioner will keep the temperatures low enough to protect your home from heat-related damage. 

Make Your Whole House More Secure

Finally, if you're cooling your home with window-mounted air conditioners, you're not as safe and secure as you might think. Window-mounted air conditioners provide easy access to burglars, which means your home is at an increased risk for break-ins. Make your home more secure by installing a central air conditioning unit instead.
