4 HVAC Services to Consider Going Into the Summer
With the weather warming and the snow finally cleared away, Minnesotans have only 1 thing on their minds: Summertime! It’s the perfect time to get out on the pontoon on your favorite lake, cool off in the community pool — and, of course, show a little TLC to your HVAC system too.
Summer is obviously the most expensive season for cooling and requires your air conditioner to work overtime for your family’s comfort, not to mention for their safety.
With high temperatures seemingly getting worse every year, heat-related illnesses and deaths are also on the rise. Between 2018-2020, over 3,000 people died in the U.S. due to natural heat exposure, many of them from lack of quality air conditioning.
So keep your home cool and comfy and your family safe with the services from a highly-trained HVAC contractor listed below.
1. Air Conditioning Inspection & Tune-Up
You don’t wait to go to the doctor until something is wrong! You invest in periodic physicals and wellness checks so things don’t get to that point.
The same thing goes for your air conditioning. To avoid dangerous service interruptions, the best thing you can do is have an HVAC contractor tune up your system before warmer weather hits hard. They’ll be able to stop those interruptions before they start.
Our tune-ups are quite comprehensive, offering a thorough cleaning and maintenance service.
2. A/C Replacement
After a tuneup, we’ll provide a top-to-bottom report of your A/C unit, and using that information, we can help you decide if you’re a candidate for replacement. Replacing your air conditioning unit can save you cash in the long run in the right circumstances, and it’s a great way to show the environment its due respect, as newer units are more energy efficient.
Of course, replacement isn’t for everyone, and it’s not something to be taken lightly. Rest assured that, with our honest and straightforward feedback, you’ll make the right choice.
3. Duct Cleaning
Again, it’s not a service for everyone, but in the correct circumstances removing dust, debris, and other gunk from your home’s air ducts can make your residential indoor air quality skyrocket.
Once our technician arrives at your home, they use specialized scrub brushes to dislodge any build-up, followed up with our commercial vacuum system to remove any remaining accumulation.
Chances are, your family will most likely be hunkering down indoors when the going gets too hot outside, making clean air more crucial to your household’s well-being, and duct cleaning can help.
4. Ductless Mini-Split Installation
If it’s time to replace your air conditioner or if there’s a room in your home that A/C doesn’t reach, you might consider installing one or more ductless mini-splits.
Mini-splits are made up of two parts, one that works as a compressor outside and the second that handles all the indoor air functions. The units are typically mounted on a wall to deliver cooled or heated air directly into the space.
They work well for homes that don't already have ductwork in place, and even if you already have a system, the unit can save you money because they're up to 40% more efficient than traditional HVAC systems.
