Updating Your HVAC Unit

Growing up, I spent a lot of time at my paternal grandmother’s home during the hot summer months. I grew up in the southern United States where the temperatures routinely soared to the triple digits on some summer days. Unfortunately, my grandmother only had one small window air conditioning unit in her sprawling farmhouse. On particularly hot days, my grandmother, my numerous cousins, and I would hover around this tiny air conditioning system all day long.

On this blog, you will discover the many benefits of choosing a central heating and air conditioning system.

However, you may have occasionally noticed that your vents will continue to blow warm air even after your thermostat reaches its target temperature. [Read More]

Both Sides: The Ups And Downs Of Mini-Split AC Units

Posted on November 7, 2022

These days, there are several types of air conditioners you can choose from. One that your HVAC contractor might recommend is called a ductless mini-split air conditioner. Sometimes, this is referred to simply as a mini-split air conditioner. These systems, unlike typical central air units, do not require ducts to be placed in your walls.
