Air Conditioning Repair — What You Need to Know To Be Safe

Air-Conditioning-Repair-Myrtle-Beach-300x200.jpgThere are a great number of a/c repair alternatives that are relatively easy and easy to do for the average handyman or handywoman, however, there are also some harmful elements to cooling repair that ought to be well understood prior to beginning any repair work project. The very first and most evident security issues when it comes to cooling repair is that this is an electrical home appliance, and as such have to be entirely detached from the electric outlet before starting on the repair work. Merely turning the device control into the off position is not all that is required, rather the unit needs to be entirely unplugged or the electrical wiring disconnected to the source of power. This is especially essential when working within the system or around the fan location of the air conditioning unit.

Air Conditioning Repair Tips You Need To Know

Another relatively obvious component to air conditioning repair that is a safety concern is certain to the window and wall mounted systems. These devices can be extremely heavy for their small size and generally are tough and awkward to physically handle for one person. If throughout the repair work you have to remove the air conditioning unit from its location be sure to have at least another individual to help with the job. This can be much more tough with heavy window mount systems that will need somebody on the inside as well as somebody on the exterior of your home to successfully move the system without harming the window frame or leading to some kind of physical injury. If the forced air or conventional cooling systems are utilized the person doing the installation might not have the proper training and might have been done a poor job with the vent lines from the a/c unit might have been improperly hooked to the sewage lines or the plumbing vents. In these circumstances the system can build up dangerous levels of bacteria in the wet, damp conditions developed in the lines plus sewage system gases can also back up through the air conditioning system developing major health concerns. If any foul odor or smell is seen in the air conditioning system or in the air when it is on, do not try the cooling repair work yourself, rather contact an expert that can securely remedy the issue. Newer units use other coolants that are safer than freon which is not dangerous itself in small amounts unless there is an open flame present. If you think that the air conditioning system is leaking coolant or if you smell any unusual smells in the room or air after completing some kind of air conditioning repair the best alternative is to turn the unit off and instantly contact a skilled and licensed service technician. Because Freon is odorless it is most likely not the problem, nevertheless, there might be some other problem that is triggering the visible odor. Make sure all heating systems, stoves or other types of flame is totally out in your house or area up until the unit can be examined and fixed.

Most homes in the Myrtle Beach area utilize central air conditioning systems. Whether your unit is in need of repair or general maintenance, call Grand Strand Heating And Cooling and we will be right out to assist.

Saving Money on HVAC Myrtle Beach

Energy-Saving-Tips-300x199.jpgLet’s face it – owning and operating your heating and air conditioning system takes some bucks.  It’s the primary thing that makes for a high electric bill.  In the south, we all breathe a little easier when the long hot summers are over and we can watch our power bills go down.  So saving money on your Myrtle Beach HVAC system is something most people are very interested in.

We have some tips to save money on your HVAC system:

  • Thermostat  setting - Set your thermostat at a median level.  Avoid wild extremes.  If you set your AC unit really low because it’s really hot outside, you’re just ensuring that your air conditioner will never shut off and your electric bill will be off the charts!  Choose a temperature you and your family can tolerate and not be miserable and then leave it alone!
  • Insulation - Pay attention to your insulation.  Bad or no insulation is a recipe for budget disaster.  If you don’t have adequate insulation in your roof or ceiling, you really ought to not even have AC.  More cooling or heating is lost through the ceiling than anywhere else.  It’s simply essential, and really not that expensive.  It can even be a do-it-yourself job with proper guidance.  If your house has a crawl space, you also need a layer of insulation underneath your flooring.  Don’t skimp on this, or you’ll pay the price with high electric bills.
  • Filters - Keep your filters clean!  This is the least expensive and one of the most effective things you can possibly do.  Changing out your filters will not only cut costs, but it will also give your HVAC unit a longer life.  It’s also a health issue.  You can prevent circulating pollutants around in your air flow by keeping clean filters.
  • Check for gaps and leaks.  Hold your hand down at the bottom of your doors.  In the winter, do you feel a cold draft?  In the summer, do you feel heat seeping in?  How about your windows? It’s not that big of a job to seal your windows and doors.  It will cost a few dollars, but you’ll literally save thousands of dollars over the life of your home.
  • When to buy - Don’t buy your HVAC system in the middle of the summer.  Try to plan replacements and upgrades in between seasons (spring or fall).  Your HVAC service company won’t be rushed and typically, your prices will be lower.  Of course, you must take care of emergencies, but if you can possibly plan ahead, remember this tip.

To get all your HVAC questions answered, call the HVAC Myrtle Beach specialists - Grand Strand Heating And Cooling.

Important Troubleshooting Skills For Your HVAC System

HVAC-Myrtle-Beach-3-300x241.jpgDespite regular maintenance and upkeep and regardless of how much you take care of your HVAC system, it can still experience issues that overtime that may easily lead to bigger and costly problems if not resolved immediately. Remember that its parts wear out in time and that dust and debris can accumulate in the vents, even if you clean them regularly. To help you prevent bigger problems with your heating and air conditioning systems, experts suggest learning some troubleshooting skills. This will allow you to immediately resolve issues before they develop into more severe problems. This is especially helpful for those instances when your heating and cooling contractor can’t get to your aid immediately.

HVAC System Failed To Turn On

There are several reasons why your heating and cooling system could fail to turn on. The primary reason would be a tripped circuit breaker. Check if circuit breaker is tripped. This might be because your air cooling and heating system may be trying to use more electricity than what your home can handle. Another reason could be the outlet where your system is plugged is not receiving sufficient electricity. Your outlet might be old and might have lost contact with your system’s plug. If so, all you have to do is replace your outlet with a new one. You might want to check your system’s power cord as well. Find out if there are frays or damage on the cord, as this could prevent the cord from effectively transferring power from the plug to your system. Replace your power cord if necessary. If none of these things are the reason why your system failed to switch on properly, it might be due to a damaged or worn out capacitor inside your system. Should this be the case, you will need to contact your contractor at once. Corroded gas valves One of the common problems with gas heat pumps are corroded gas valves. These valves supply the gas to your burner that produces the warm air for your house. They can corrode over time; thereby, preventing the smooth flow of gas and efficient production of warm air by your entire system. Should this be the case, all you have to do is replace the corroded valves with new ones. If you smelled gas while checking your heat pump and burner, switch off the entire system and call your HVAC contractor at once. Clogged evaporator coil Your system’s evaporator coils contribute greatly in the cooling ability of your entire HVAC Myrtle Beach system. If it is clogged – which is primarily due to clogged or dirty filters – your heating and cooling system may not be able to produce cold air as efficiently as before. What you should do is to clean your filters if they are washable or replace them if they are disposable. Run the fan on your air conditioner for a several minutes to allow it time to blow out the clog and built up debris in the evaporator coils. If the problem still persists, there might be a leak in the system, in which case, you will have to call in your contractor at once. Keep in mind that there are heating and cooling problems that cannot be solved by simple and basic troubleshooting. Thus, it is important that you call your contractor every time you experience issues and problems with your system. They can either guide or assist you over the phone to help resolve the problem, especially if they cannot arrive on your house on time.

Cut the Cost Of Running Your Air Conditioner

Air-Conditioner_Myrtle-Beach-300x198.jpgThe days are warming up and it will soon be time to run on the air conditioner. I love the fresh air coming in through the windows and I put off turning on the air conditioner for a long as possible (much to my spouse’s dismay.) If you haven’t done so already, this is the time to call for your annual service before we are in the midst of “the dog days of summer” and you have a problem. But this post is not about servicing your air conditioner. Have you ever thought about what it takes to run your air conditioner? When you compare running your central air conditioner to using a household fan or ceiling fan, the difference is phenomenal. In today’s economy, we are all looking for ways to save a few dollars.

Factors that affect running an air conditioner

Just a few of the factors that will affect the cost of running your central air conditioner are the geographical local of your home, the amount shading around your home and the amount of work your air conditioner has to do to keep your home cool. All of these will affect the cost. Here in Myrtle Beach, we can have boiling summers (and they are predicting one this year) and your air conditioner will have to work overtime to maintain a certain comfort level. If you are looking for a new home, you will want to ask for copies of the electric bill from any home on which you are seriously considering making an offer. You should be able to obtain this information from your local utility company. Be sure and ask for the last three years as the weather conditions from year to year will make a big difference in the cost of running the air conditioner. Another factor that affects your air conditioner cost is the efficiency rating of the unit. Almost all appliances have been rated and your air conditioner will have a tag when you purchased the unit stating the amount of electricity that it will use. If you are in need of a new air conditioner, you will want to look for one that uses minimal electricity which will save you money. If your unit is over 10 years old or if you are not sure of the efficiency rating of your system, you will want to contact an HVAC specialist to get a quote on a new system. Over time, upgrading your air conditioner can pay for itself in lower electric bills. The size of the air conditioning unit versus the house-cooling load is another factor to consider. All central air conditioners come in various sizes and each size will state the amount of space it is specifically designed to manage. You will need to consider the amount of space in your home that you want to cool if you are considering a new air conditioner. Even though a larger unit will cost more, it will save you money in the long run. This can make a HUGE difference in your utility bill – where you set your thermostat. (This can be the cause of major household disagreements!) It is no secret that a higher setting will result in your air conditioner not running as frequently. By keeping your thermostat above the 78-degree level, you can save up to 20% in cooling costs. Many residents in the Myrtle Beach area are transplants from the north. In the northeast, most homes do not use heat pumps like those installed in Myrtle Beach homes. Us northerners are used to cutting back the thermostat when we are not home for extended periods of time like while at work and then kicking on the air conditioner when we arrive home. With a heat pump, this habit will not save money - it will actually cost you more. The reason is the coils in the heat pump unit have to work harder to bring the air temperature up to a cooler level cause a rise in the use of electricity. The most cost-effective use of your air conditioner is to set a level where most family members are comfortable and leave it there. Of course, the cost of electricity locally will influence your bill but there isn’t much you can do about that. However, you can control costs with a few simple changes.

Running an air conditioner versus running a ceiling or oscillating fan

Let’s take a simple example. Running a three-ton air conditioner for approximately 8 hours a day for a total of 15 days in the month with an average kilowatt per hour rate of 17 cents (you can get this number from your electric bill) will cost around $98. Keep in mind that doesn’t include running the dishwasher, the clothes dryer, the refrigerator and stove or the lights. Just the air conditioner. Compare this to running a ceiling fan on medium speed for that same 8 hours but instead, we will use a full 30 days – the cost is less than $2! What a saving. What you can do to lower your electric bill
  • Inspect and either clean or replace your air conditioner filter on a regular basis
  • Lower the temperature on your water heater to 120 degrees (or consider a waterless water heater.)
  • Wash on full loads of clothes and use the energy cycle on the dryer (better yet use a solar dry – hang your clothes on an old fashioned clothesline.)
  • Replace older incandescent light bulbs with the new fluorescent lamps – you will save an average of 75% on your light bill.
  • Caulk windows, doors and pipes where air can seep out of your home. The spring is a good time of year to call your local handyman and have them go over your home and look for air leaks before the heat of the summer.
  • Have your ducts cleaned and tested for leakage? A leak in an air duct can cause up to a 25% reduction in the efficiency of your air conditioner.
Now is the time to give Grand Strand Heating And Cooling a call. We can clean your air ducts, change your filters and give your air condition system a complete check. If your system is over 10 years old or if you are experienced a problem, we can give you an estimate on a new system and show you how you can save money with a newer, energy efficient air conditioner.

Myrtle Beach HVAC Energy Savings Tips

HVAC-Myrtle-Beach-2-300x200.jpgThis time of year our energy bills are usually lower since we are not using the heating or cooling systems in our homes.  However, the weather will soon be turning cooler and we will be starting up our heating systems. HVAC Myrtle Beach has a few tips on how to reduce your electricity bill and still stay warm. It is estimated that up to 40% of your electric bill is a direct result of your HVAC system.  The heating and air system of your home is what keeps you and your family comfortable, so it is important that it is well maintained. Not only is your comfort important but also your health. Many allergies are aggravated or started by a HVAC’s ventilation system is not working properly. Let’s take a look at ways to reduce the cost of energy while at the same time not sacrificing the environment. These steps can also increase the performance of your HVAC system.  This information will help homeowners, property management companies and business owners.

Load Reduction For HVAC

This is a long-range plan to reduce the loss of energy by fully optimizing the overall load of your system.  This will allow your system to run more efficiently.  Here are some common strategies:
  • Adding insulation to your existing structure.  This will eliminate heat loss through the walls, floor, and attic.
  • Energy efficient windows. If you still have single pane windows, you will definitely want to consider an upgrade.  Double pane windows provide a thermal break that will be a great return of your investment. Purchasing windows that tilt in for washing can also be a great time saver and keep your home looking good while at the same time increasing comfort.
  • Upgrade your lighting system.  This applies primarily to a commercial building where you need to maintain proper levels of light. Cooling a building can be difficult if improper lighting is used; by upgrading your lighting, you reduce the load on the HVAC system.
If you are replacing a major appliance such as a refrigerator, consider selecting one with a power saver option. These options will reduce the heat gain in the area where they are located.  Look for this feature when you replace a computer or in the case of a business, a copy machine. Newer HVAC systems can control ventilation by balancing the outside air.  If you have an older home with an older system, you may want to consider replacing your HVAC system with a newer energy efficient system. Over time, the new system can easily pay for itself.

HVAC Systems

Knowing your system is the next step in achieving energy efficiency.  An HVAC system for residential use should last around 15 years.  You will want to have a plan to replace your system when the time comes that it fails. Find someone you can trust.  Do your homework in advance and find an HVAC company with a good reputation. A good starting point is to call a local company for an annual inspection before you have a problem.  They can clean the air ducts, change the filter, and give your system a good going over. Have your HVAC Company inspect your system load. Do you have the right size unit for your home?  Have you added on to your home?  This will change the load requirements of your system.  Keep in mind that this is a situation where bigger is not better.  Confirm that the size is correct for the square footage of your home. If you need to purchase new equipment, make sure that it is energy efficient. A good energy efficient HVAC system may cost more initially, but it will pay for itself over time.  Always ask for advice from a heating and cooling specialist before purchasing any new system. In commercial applications, you will want to consider energy recovery in any new system.  This is where air that is exhausted from a building can be used to condition the fresh air that is coming in. You have already paid to condition this air, so reusing some of this energy should be a priority. When installing a new system, always use a programmable thermostat. The average family can save $180 a year by using a programmable thermostat with their HVAC system.

Operation and Maintenance for HVAC

One of the most important steps in energy efficiency is with operation and maintenance.  A well-maintained HVAC system will save you time and money by extending the life of your system.
  1. Find a qualified HVAC specialists that you can rely on no matter what time of day or night they are needed.  Keep a record of the date and maintenance done.  This comes in handy when it comes time to sell your home.
  2. Get a seasonal checkup. The requirements of your system and its load will change based on the time of year.
  3. Replace the air filters on your system on a regular basis.  Ask your HVAC specialist what type of filter is best for your system.
  4. Clean the coils of your system regularly.  Because they are outside, condenser coils will collect debris and dirt on the surface which forces the compressor to work harder and will increase the refrigerant temperature.  Heating and evaporator coils are found inside your home and they, too, will collect dust.  Be sure and clean coils at least once a year.  This is often included in an annual maintenance contract from your HVAC specialist.
By optimizing your overall HVAC system and making sure it is well maintained, you will save money and increase the life expectancy of your system.

Help Your HVAC Keep Your House Cool

Air-Conditioning-Repair-and-Service-1-300x200.jpgKeeping your house cool shouldn’t be the sole responsibility of your HVAC system. There are things you can do to help keep your house cool throughout summer. Not only will this help lower your utility bills but it also helps with HVAC maintenance in an efficiently working condition. Follow these tips and help your HVAC system keep your house cool and comfortable.

 Keep sunlight outside your house

Although natural light help make a room lighter and feel bigger, too much sunlight inside the house raises the temperature making it more difficult for air conditioning system to cool the air inside. You can prevent too much sunlight from getting inside your house by using light-colored drapes as these effectively reflect sunlight. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends installing awnings on your windows especially those facing south and west as these are where most sunlight comes from. You can also opt to install shutters. Aside from blocking too much sun, these also provide your house with added security and protection.

Cross-ventilate your house

When the air outside is cooler than inside your house, do not only stay outside to enjoy the cool atmosphere. Invite the cool air inside your house cool by opening windows and doors. This effectively lowers the temperature of everything inside including those that easily absorbs heat such as your walls, furniture, and floors. For maximum effect, open windows on the opposite sides of your house.

Turn off appliances not being used

Appliances that are still plugged in but are not being used produces heat that helps to raise the temperature inside your house. If there are lots of appliances that you need to unplug, make it easier by connecting them to a single power strip. Your HVAC system already has lots of obstacles to face in lowering the temperature inside your house. Make it a little easy for your furnace by reducing heat inside the house.

Limit your use of appliances that produce heat and steam

These include your gas range, ovens, stove, washer, and dryer. Try not to use them during the hotter part of the day so as not to add to the already high temperature inside your house. If you need to dry your clothes, hang them on a line outside. You’ll be surprised at how much faster they will dry as compared to when you use your dryer.

Plant more trees and vines outside

Trees and vines not only add shade and warm areas outside your house. They also help block sunlight on your windows. Plant them by your west-facing walls as this is where the sun shines the strongest. Remember to choose plants that are native to your area to make it easy for you to take care of them. Plus, these plants have higher chances of survival even if you do not fully commit to caring for them.

Hot Summer Air Conditioning Repair Tips

air-conditioning-repair-300x200.jpgTo keep your cool all summer long, you should have already “tuned up” your entire heating and cooling system before the hot weather hits, but even if you didn’t do that, it’s not too late to call for a quick “once over.”  It may save you bunches of cash later on when the sweltering heat of July and August and even the Indian summer days of September and October take their toll. A few simple air conditioning repair tweaks here and there are all it will take to ensure that your air conditioning unit is operating at maximum efficiency and will keep you cool as long as the temperatures are rising outside.

Here are a few tips from your Myrtle Beach Air Conditioning experts and from the United States Department of Energy

  • Weather stripping - It’s not enough to just keep the warm air outside your home; you have to keep the cool air inside as well.  Pay close attention to the weather stripping around your doors and windows, and the caulking, too.  It’s wise to have lots of insulation both in the attic as well as underneath a home that is not sitting on a slab.
  • Vents- How are your vents working?  Is the air flowing freely and properly?  Check out the ductwork for airflow leaks in the form of holes or even joints that are separated.  You could try to fix these things on your own, but the safest and wisest thing to do is call a professional.
  • Ducts - Sometimes your air conditioning system will require that ducts actually reside in spaces that are not air conditioned themselves, (garages, attics, crawl spaces, for example) and in these situations, the insulation of this conduits is critical.  Use lots of insulation material on your air conditioning ducts when they are found in spaces that are not cooled, such as in your garages, crawl spaces under your house, or in your attics.
  • SEER Rating - Do you know what your SEER rating is for your cooling system?  If you don’t, you should.  Those letters mean:  seasonal energy efficiency rating. With a higher SEER rating, your cooling system will be more efficient, and your power bills should be lower. You can upgrade to a unit with a higher SEER rating and save hundreds of dollars during the year on your electric bills. Should you need to replace your air conditioning unit or system, you should note that the United States Department of Energy passed a law that requires that all new cooling systems manufactured after January 23, 2006, must have a SEER rating of at least 13
Do you have a fireplace?  Don’t forget about it in the summer just because you’re not using it – take extra care to be sure the damper is not left open in the summer. If you have any questions about air conditioning repair, please call the Myrtle Beach Air Conditioning experts at 843-293-8534.

HVAC Tips – Scheduling AC Maintenance In Spring

A lot is happening in sHVAC-Myrtle-Beach-300x228.jpgpring. After a long, cold winter things are finally looking a lot livelier again. However, before the seasonal shift finally happens, you should take extra measures to ensure that your property and everything in it is in top working order. This includes your air conditioning, among other things. Your HVAC Myrtle Beach will need some maintenance and spring is the best time to have it scheduled. The cold of winter can have huge impacts, if not devastating effects on your AC. Proper maintenance done by a professional could take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes. Why should I schedule AC maintenance in spring? First of all, during winter, the extreme cold may have had some sort of damage to your AC. It’s best to have it checked out when temperatures normalize again. Also, late spring and summer will bring in warmer temperatures and it will be the time when the AC will be in full blast. It’s only fitting to get your AC prepped up before it goes under constant use again. Heating and cooling units have their own specific times where maintenance is best done. For ACs, spring is the perfect time to do it. Don’t wait to schedule your AC maintenance during early summer. You might find yourself in a rather hot and uncomfortable situation if your AC unit breaks down on you.

What benefits will I gain with spring AC maintenance?

Lower electricity bills – if you’re looking to cut down on your electricity costs, you should look into having your AC maintained. A properly running machine will operate smoother and can cool down your house or room more efficiently without requiring more energy. Keeps your AC away from repairs – although repairs can sometimes be inevitable, it can be prevented in the majority of times. Having your AC maintained by a well-trained professional can extend the longevity of the unit. Not only that, they would make sure that your unit is in top condition, eliminating the need for repairs any time soon. Longer life and extended efficiency – with a properly maintained AC, it can last up to 30-50% longer. You could gain anywhere from 3-5 years just by properly maintaining your unit. However, not having it maintained would make your AC unit prone to problems, breakdowns, and reduced efficiency which could cost you more to operate. Can I service my air conditioning unit myself? Unless you are a skilled and trained professional, yes. However, if you’re the average homeowner like most people, the only thing that you should handle is to check the air filters regularly. That’s the one thing that homeowners can do to make the system run as efficiently as it can. It is recommended to check the HVAC air filters at least once a month. If you couldn’t see any light passing through the air filters, it is a clear indicator that it is in need of a replacement. Typically, air filters need to be replaced once in three months. However, this may vary depending on your location which is the reason for the periodic checks. Also, regularly check the outdoor heat pumps for damage or dirt. If you are located in a dusty area with heavy winds or storms regularly go past your area, it is a good thing to check the outer components of your HVAC system to prevent any issues.

How To Lower Electricity Costs With Regular HVAC Maintenance

save-HVAC-energy-300x200.jpgProper upkeep of your heating and cooling system is vital to the daily operation of your company. By ensuring there is proper as well as routine upkeep carried out on your heating and cooling unit, you can drastically improve the performance as well as reduce your electricity costs. Routine maintenance will certainly help you to avoid expensive replacements and repairs. Provided below are regular maintenance tips that your HVAC contractor can do to help you extend the life of your HVAC unit. Replace Your Air Filters On A Regular Basis One of the most inexpensive actions that you could do in order to help lower your energy costs is to replace your air filters frequently. Your HVAC filters assist in keeping dirt, dust, and allergens from the air distributing throughout your property. By altering these filters routinely or having your HVAC Myrtle Beach contractor do it for you, you could help to make sure that your HVAC system is cleaner and runs more efficiently. Inspect Your Fan Routinely While your HVAC unit functions normally, the fan that distributes the air throughout your structure can come loose mainly due to the effects of vibration. Whenever you change your filters or have them changed for you, your HVAC contractor will certainly make sure to examine your fan to make certain that it is working correctly. Have Your Fan Blades Cleaned Routinely Your HVAC contractor needs to check the vacuum cleaner and also blower location of your HVAC device. They will be able to correctly clean up the fan blades as well as get rid of the dust, dirt, or other particles that have accumulated and could be putting more strain on the motor of the heating and cooling system. Proper and routine cleaning can help keep your fan well balanced and also maintain the optimum performance of your HVAC system. Have Your Blower Motor Oiled Frequently Your HVAC contractor can keep your fan motor oiled and running efficiently whenever needed. Depending upon the HVAC blower motor, it could be secured and may not need normal oiling. Your HVAC contractor can assist you in determining whether your blower motor requires this. By having a specialist HVAC contractor look after your heating and cooling unit for you, you will have the ability to reduce your electricity expenses, prolong the life of your system, and lower your upkeep costs. Waiting until something is broken down is not just a lot more stressful but extra pricey compared to normal maintenance from your HVAC service provider. By ensuring you are having professional and regular upkeep on your HVAC system, you will make certain to have one much less thing to worry about when it concerns running all the operations that your company requires. At a minimum, make certain that you have an HVAC contractor check your heating and cooling unit. If your property has a combination heating & cooling unit, make sure to have it checked at the very least every quarter.
