Monday, July 24th, 2023

Yep, it’s time we talked about that topic. You know, the one you may have been avoiding for months or even years. That itty bitty window AC unit or the multiple window units you use to keep your home comfortable throughout the summer are just not cutting it anymore. They’re energy inefficient, they’re not powerful enough, and they keep running into issues.

Too Small or Too Large? Common AC Issues

Monday, July 17th, 2023

An air conditioner doesn’t really change throughout the course of its lifespan. It can get maintained or improved on when a professional takes a look at it. But it’s generally going to be the same air conditioning system that you purchased years ago, even when it’s ready for replacement.

Smells, Noises, and Other Red Flags

Monday, June 12th, 2023

What does the term “red flag” mean to you? Perhaps it’s someone bringing up a dealbreaker on their first date. Or maybe it’s a used car for sale with an odd paint choice to cover up the rusted frame.

As consumers, we need to be on the lookout for red flags because they can sometimes be the difference between purchasing a lemon and investing in a system that’s worth it. In the case of AC, there are a million red flags to look out for, but they can get trickier when you already own the system.

For instance, if your AC is running smoothly in your home and there’s nothing that gives you pause, then congratulations! You can sit back and relax. But if your AC is making a sound, smelling bad, or doing something else that makes you concerned, then you might have a red flag on your hand that requires AC repair in Millbury!
