Why Pick A Trane Air Conditioner

Trane is known for their quality products. Every Trane air conditioner is rigorously tested for reliability and durability. They design, build, test, and even rebuild some of their own parts. Trane products are put through a 16 week couse of cold and heat in repeating two-week sessions. Some units endure over 2,600 hours of continuous testing, including a full week of salt spray to monitor corrosion resistance! They put their products through the ringer, so when you get your trane air conditioner, you won’t have an issues.

We aren’t the only one who thinks Trane Air Conditioners are great. Popular Mechanics called the Trane ComfortLink™ II control as one of The Year’s Most Transformative Products, awarding it their 2010 Breakthrough Award. That being said, did you know that there are Trane products in some of the most famous places around the world? These tourist attractions need a reliable cooling system just like homeowners. A few places that have Tranes include: Continue reading

HVAC Contractors and Their Favorite Customers

Dogs always seem to appear when we are performing a repair on air conditioning outdoor units. Recently, the same thing happened while installing a air conditioner in Midlothian off 145th and Pulaski Rd.  The boxer just came upon us, and when we realized this fact, we nearly jumped out of our skin. The good thing is that the dog was friendly. I have a picture of the customer and his dog as well as Salvatore on his first installation of a central air conditioning system complete with the copper line set and evaporator coil.  The kid is a natural hvac specialist!

This Picture depicts Midlothian a/c or central air conditioning installation. The next picture shows the home owner and Salvatore. The home owner and Salvatore hit it off, and my customer was pleased with the price of the air conditioning installation as well as the look and performance of the air conditioner.

The Westinghouse warranty is ten years with a quality pledge. If the compressor fails in ten years, Westinghouse will pay my rate to install a new condenser for you. It is a great deal!

Installations of either furnaces, boilers or central air conditioning requires more than just installing the equipment.  There are step by step start up procedures that have to be performed for a proper and quality installation of the equipment.  Many of the air conditioning systems repairs we make (especially when they are new) are faulty start up procedures.  The other problem with air conditioning  systems we routinely run into is either dirty condenser coils or furnace/air handler filters or both.  Air conditioning clean ups and checks can save you money.  Air conditioning tuneups also can tell us if the evaporator coil is dirty by checking the air conditioners freon gas pressures.  Dirty evaporator coils cause many problems, the worst of them are poor indoor air quality.

Do you have a great air conditioning installation story?

Everything You Want To Know About Air Conditioning!

When did people start using cool air for comfort?

Thousands of years ago, the wealthiest of the Romans used aqueducts that ran cool water from the springs, wells and rivers through their walls of the structure to keep them cool. Today, we call that chillers (and it is almost the same principle). Refrigeration was then introduced to us in 1902 by the way of electrical mechanical cooling (more for manufacturing purposes).  We definitely give thanks to Willis Carrier for bringing us cooling. However, in the 1940s only the wealthiest could afford a residential systems. It was not until the early 1950s that central air conditioning systems would become more moderately priced.  As time went on, central air conditioning became a household item, and a must have item on most people’s want list.

Furnace not working correctly this summer

Furnace not working correctly this summer

Have you noticed that your furnace has not been working correctly this summer? Are some of the signs which makes you think the furnace is not working correctly as follows; you notice in the summer that your furnace runs longer and makes unusual noises that you normally don’t hear. The answer to that could be as follows; your furnace filter may be dirty or clogged, your freon levels are low,your evaporator coil could be dirty or clogged and some ice is forming and dripping down the inside of your furnace making the noise, the blower motor squirrel cage fins may be dirty or clogged causing whining of the wheel while the blower motor is running in a/c mode.

During the storms this past summer have you heard pinging noises? That can be the rain hitting the venting on the roof which travels down to ear shot or you can be missing a chimney cap and that should be looked at right away before water damage and mold can occur.
Other issues with the furnace not working correctly this summer can be loose debris in the blower compartment of your furnace which can be banging around making unusual noises.

Another thing people over look during the storms this summer is, if you had water penetration in your basement and it got high, but according to you, not high enough to damage the furnace, So therefore it is a good possibility that water got trapped in the bottom of the blower motor housing and is sloshing around making noises and over taxing the blower motor it is easy to overlook this.

The thing about furnaces and water they do not mix, like oil and water. With the modern technologies of today the furnace electronics are not impervious to water, not yet anyhow. All the above statements lend itself to the importance of a furnace tune up or maintenance check.

When you hear strange noises when your furnace is running along with the a/c or the furnace by itself that’s your sign that it’s time to call Around the Town Heating and cooling for a maintenance check, prolonging that call could be costly. 708-388-2247 or 312-243-9896
