How Summer Weather Affects Your Indoor Air Quality

Posted on July 17, 2025 | by arketing | Leave a Comment

Summers in Central & Eastern Mass can be very hot and humid. Many homeowners spend most of their time outdoors during the summer months. However, when they step inside, they often find their indoor air quality is very poor. Allergens, higher humidity and rising temperatures all contribute to reduced air quality. Landry Mechanical put together this guide on How Summer Weather Affects Your Indoor Air Quality and how to improve it.

The Summer Heat

Pollutants inside your home are exacerbated by warmer temperatures.

If you use A/C in your home, you most likely have the windows and doors closed to keep cold air in.

These allergens linger inside your home and mix with warm air to create an uncomfortable environment.

The Danger of Humidity

Humidity isn’t just uncomfortable; it can become a breeding ground for harmful air pollutants. If indoor humidity rises above 60%, mold, mildew, and dust mites will thrive inside of your home.

Here are some tips to reduce your home’s humidity:

Consider a humidity monitor to keep levels between 30-50%
Properly Vent Bathrooms, Kitchens & other High Moisture Areas
Use portable dehumidifiers or consider installing a whole-home dehumidifier
Clean and dry damp areas and spots quickly

Woman Cleaning Carpet With Vacuum — Regular Home Cleaning can dramatically Improve Indoor Air Quality

The Danger of Allergens

Pollen from trees, weeds, and other plants ends up everywhere during the summer including your home!

Pollen can enter your home on clothes, pets, and open windows. This contributes to poor indoor air quality during the summer season. It can also trigger symptoms in people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory issues.

Here are some tips to reduce allergens in your home:

Monitor pollen counts on weather apps
Keep windows closed during days with high pollen counts
Run an air purifier with a HEPA filter
Regularly clean your home with microfiber cloths and vacuum cleaners

Air Conditioning & Air Quality

Air conditioning keeps you comfortable on steamy summer days.

However, A/C systems can either improve or degrade your home’s air quality. Dirty A/C filters can spread dust, pollen, and mold throughout your home. Malfunctioning A/C systems can also increase humidity.

Here are some tips on how to use your A/C without reducing air quality:

Clean or replace your air conditioning filter regularly
Let fresh air inside your home on a regular basis during cooler weather
Consider upgrading your A/C system to a newer model with humidity control
Use an air purifier in addition to your A/C in your home to filter out other allergens

Damage From Insects and Pests

Humans aren’t the only animals that seek the shade when heat waves hit. Small animals like mice, rats, squirrels, and chipmunks can all nest within your home. These pests chew through electrical wires causing issues. Insects like termites and ants can build nests within your home’s electrical system leading to damaged fixtures and outlets.

To keep insects and small animals out of your home consider the following:

Inspect your attic and garage wiring at least once per season
Inspect the outside of your home and look for potential access points
Use mouse traps, ant bait, and other poisons to kill small animals before they can build nests
Consider hiring a pest control company to remove pests from the home

Termites like this one can eat through electrical wires!

What To Do If Your A/C Goes Out During a Heatwave

Posted on June 16, 2025 | by arketing | Leave a Comment

Woman Trying To Turn On Broken A/C System

What To Do If Your A/C Goes Out During a Heatwave

AtLandry Mechanical, we know how brutal and sweaty New England summers can be. However, summer heat isn’t just uncomfortable, it can be deadly.

According to mass.gov “Extreme heat can be dangerous and even life-threatening if proper precautions are not taken” Here’s what to do if your A/C goes out during a heatwave.

Pay Attention to Weather Reports

News Reporter Shows Heat Warning — Pay attention to the news for heat warnings!

In Central and Eastern Mass, weather can change frequently.

Pay attention to weather reports that mention heat watch, heat advisory or excessive heat warnings.

These are signs that a heatwave may be on the way. The more time you have to prepare the better.

Stay Cool

Staying cool during a heatwave is your main priority. If you’re A/C isn’t working, there are other ways to avoid heat stroke.

Man Closing Blinds During a Heatwave — Closing your blinds during a heatwave can reduce the temperature in your home!

Close blinds and curtains during the day
Use fans: Ceiling Fans and box fans keep you cool and push out hot air.
Take cool showers and baths rather than hot ones
Seek out cool locations like libraries or shopping malls.
Dress lightly (wear clothing that is loose-fitting and lightly colored)

Ceiling Fan In Living Room — Ceiling fans like this one can keep you cool even if your A/C isn’t working!

Run into issues with your ceiling fans? “Just Call Landry” Our electrical experts are here to help with ceiling fan repairs and replacements to keep you cool this summer!

Stay Hydrated

No Soda, No Alcohol, No Caffeine — Avoid Soda, Alcohol, and Caffeine during heatwaves. They increase your chance of dehydration!

Dehydration during a heat wave is common, but serious. Dehydration can lead to health problems and death if untreated. To avoid dehydration, drink water frequently, avoid drinking sugary drinks, or alcohol.

These beverages increase your chance of dehydration. Make sure you have bottled water available before the next heatwave strikes

Check Your A/C System

Checking Ecobee Smart Home Thermostat — Check your thermostat to make sure your A/C system works properly!

You should always check your A/C System before a heatwave arrives. First, make sure the thermostat is set to the correct temperature for your home. Also, make sure that your system starts when you turn it on.

If you have window units that aren’t working, make sure to check the electrical panel to see if the circuit breaker is tripped.

If you’re a/c system isn’t running or is blowing hot air, it’s time to “Just Call Landry” Our home cooling experts are here to help with A/C repairs and A/C Installations to get your system back up and running.

Change Your Air Filter

Clean & Dirty HVAC Air Filter — Dirty air filters on your A/C system can cause warmer temperatures in your home!

Dirty air filters reduce cooling system efficiency and limits airflow. If your a/c isn’t working well, a dirty air filter may be the issue.

If you notice a dirty air filter, it’s time to “Just Call Landry”!

Our HVAC maintenance experts are here to help with filter replacement to keep your ac running smoothly.

Limit Heat Sources

Wet Clothes Drying on clothes line — Consider hang drying your clothes during heatwaves. It keeps your home cooler and saves electricity!

Heat generating appliances are the last thing you want to turn on during a heatwave.

Using Ovens, clothing dryers, space heaters and other heating devices will increase the temperature of your home. This is especially true if your ac isn’t working.

Consider cooking outdoors or going out to eat to prevent turning the oven on.

Dry clothes outdoors on a clothesline and unplug any space heaters you may still have on from winter time.

Conclusion

Heatwaves can be dangerous if you don’t know ways to stay cool. Although these methods can help, it’s always best to have a working air conditioning system.

Landry Mechanical has you covered with A/C maintenance, repair and replacement. We’ll keep you cool during the heatwaves this summer.

Do Smart Thermostats Really Save You Money in the Summer?

Posted on May 9, 2025 | by arketing | Leave a Comment

Do Smart Thermostats Really Save You Money in the Summer?

As temperatures rise, so do energy bills. Homeowners looking for ways to cut cooling costs often turn to smart thermostats, which promise efficiency and savings. But do they really make a difference in the summer? Let’s explore how these devices work and whether they can help you keep more money in your pocket.

How Smart Thermostats Can Save You Money

Smart thermostats go beyond traditional programmable models by learning your habits, adjusting temperatures automatically, and allowing remote control via smartphone apps. Many models use geofencing, motion sensors, and weather data to optimize cooling schedules.

How Much Can They Save You?

Studies suggest that smart thermostats can reduce cooling cost by 10-15%. This is done by having automated cooling and heating for your home. Smart thermostats can turn on or off or increase or decrease according to the temperature. This can be very efficient, allowing you to save around $50a year! Not only do they save money – but also time, convenience, and peace of mind! Other features like tracking your phone or having remote control also are available. They allow for messages to be sent to your phone to nudge you to be more conservative or remind you to turn it off if you’ve left for a vacation.

Should You Make The Switch?

If you frequently forget to adjust your thermostat or have an inconsistent schedule, a smart thermostat can be a great investment. However, if you already use a programmable thermostat effectively, the savings may not be as dramatic.

Ultimately, smart thermostats offer convenience and efficiency, but their financial impact varies.

If cutting cooling costs is your goal, pairing a smart thermostat with good insulation and energy-conscious habits will yield the best results! Interested in a smart home thermostat for your home “Just Call Landry”and our experts will do the job right!

Our HVAC Technicians install hundreds of smart thermostats every year. They’re ready to bring comfort to your home!

Hot humid weather is right around the corner here in New England! More than ever, we rely on our A/C units to keep us cool and the last thing we want is for them to give out.

We install AC systems on a regular basis and keep our technicians up to date on the most efficient A/C technology.

Need a new filter? “Just Call Landry

Old A/C Unit being tested — If you notice low air flow, it’s time to “Just Call Landry” !

#3 Unusual Noise

A well functioning A/C should run relatively quietly. If you start hearing weird noises like grinding, squealing, or banging – that’s a bad sign. It could signal a failing motor, electrical issues, or rust and debris inside.

Need a new A/C unit? “Just Call Landry’s”

Clogged & Dirty A/C Filters reduce air quality and performance

#4 Weird Smells

If your A/C unit reeks of musty or burning smells, that might be a cry for help. Bad smells can be a result of mold or electrical issues inside of your unit. Burning smells can result from melting plastics and might end up in a fire. Don’t wait till it’s too late!

Moldy A/C Vent — A/C Vent with mold growing on it. Time For Maintenance!

#5 Bills Breaking the Bank

Was your electricity bill high the last time you checked it? Your unit may be working harder to keep up than before. It might be less efficient from old age and debris inside. This is one tell-tale sign that you need to replace it.

Notice Your Cooling Costs are going up? Time To Just Call Landry!

Summer in Massachusetts can be unforgiving, and the last thing you want is for your A/C to give out when you need it most. By keeping an eye for these warning signs – whether its weak airflow, strange noises, or just plain old- you can stay ahead of the game and save money! If you need professional services or replacements,“Just Call Landry”and our HVAC experts will do the job right.

When Should I Repair or Replace My AC?

Spring is finally here! Many homeowners wonder when should I repair or replace my AC?

Landry Mechanical is here to offer expert advice on when you should consider repairing or replacing your AC.

How Long Do Air Conditioners Last?

According to Carrier, you can expect a good 15 to 20 years of cooling from a new high-efficiency air conditioning system.

However, there are a number of factors that impact how long air conditioners last.

Climate (Especially High Humidity)
Air Quality Issues such as pollution or salty sea air
Regular or Irregular AC Maintenance
Installation Quality & Proper Sizing
How Often The System is Used

Signs Your Air Conditioner Isn’t Working

There are many tell-tale signs that your air conditioner isn’t working. Here are some of the most common signs we run into at Landry Mechanical.

Frequent Breakdowns
Water or Refrigerant Leaks
Thermostat Problems
Unit Won’t Turn Off or Turn On
Poor Airflow/Uneven Cooling
Burning or Moldy Smell Coming From Unit
Excessive Noise Coming From The Unit

Therefore, if your existing unit isn’t running properly it might be a good idea to consider repairs before replacements.

You Have A Newer Air Conditioner

If you have a newer air conditioner that’s less than five years old, it would be best to repair it. Many Air Conditioners come with a warranty that may cover repair costs.

However, if you notice repeated breakdowns, it’s time to “Just Call Landry” and we’ll replace your AC system.

When Should I Replace My AC?

When it is no longer feasible to repair your AC it’s time to consider replacing it.

Here are some of the best reasons to replace your AC.

You Want To Lower Your Energy Bill

Older AC systems are not as energy efficient as newer models.

One of the best ways to reduce your energy cost is to replace old AC systems with new more efficient models.

However, this must be balanced with the cost of the new system.

Your Old AC Unit Is Rusty Or Ugly

If your old AC unit has signs of rust, corrosion, or is just ugly it’s time to replace the unit. Repair will not be an option in this case.

Your Air Conditioner is Too Small

Not All AC Units are equally powerful. Some AC systems are great for one room, but are unable to cool an entire house efficiently.

Also, underpowered AC units can raise your energy costs and shorten the unit’s lifespan by running it constantly.

Your AC System is Mismatched

In a central air system you have indoor units and outdoor units.

These components need to be compatible in order to cool your home effectively.

If you have a mismatched AC system, it won’t run smoothly and is far more likely to break down.
