AIR CONDITIONERS ARE AFFECTED BY EXTREME HEAT

23
Aug

Air conditioners in the greater Phoenix area are affected by extreme heat each summer, and this summer is no different. It has been especially HOT this year!

Most air conditioners are not built to operate well in temperatures of 100 degrees Fahrenheit and above when they have to keep the inside of your home 20-30 degrees cooler than the outside temperature. These criteria have been established by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.) and are referenced by most energy codes. Once the maximum outside temperature is reached excessive energy is consumed as the system works harder to cool the home or office and the cooling system can start to malfunction. Additionally, the working parts of the air conditioner can begin to fail.

Take a Look At These Relevant Notes:

A/C is Not Working, Turn Off A/C – If your air conditioner is not cooling, turn it off. This helps prevent the unit from further damage

Lower A/C Efficiency – In extreme heat, even the best A/C systems decrease in efficiency due to high outdoor temperatures. The lower the temperature outside, the better the cooling is inside

Greater Energy Demand – With increased temperatures, everyone else in the area wants to stay cool by lowering their thermostats at the same time. With this higher energy demand, you might experience power outages or overloads. One recommendation is to set your thermostat at 78 Fahrenheit degrees or higher when someone is home. Set it at 82 degrees Fahrenheit or higher when no one is home

Increased Wear – In extreme heat, most air conditioners constantly run to lower the temperature inside the home

More Dust & Debris – A/C units tend to collect more dust and debris than usual in the monsoon dust storms, which clogs filters and coils faster

Spinning Fans – Outside fans accumulate debris faster with the constant spinning

Replace Air Filters Monthly – Change filters more often in extreme temperatures

Older Units Need Replacement – Many units older than ten years are likely to have difficulty maintaining and surviving the extreme heat. Newer units are better engineered and more efficient than the older ones

Stay safe in the heat and pay attention to your air conditioner. Your A/C plays an important role in your comfort, health and safety during this heat.

CONSIDERING AC REPLACEMENT? 3 MAJOR TIPS TO WATCH FOR

17
Apr

Especially, in the Phoenix area, our air conditioning units work extra hard as they take on the extreme heat of the desert. Air conditioning is a critical system and significant expense and investment in our homes and offices. Seriously, we cannot survive long without proper air conditioning in the desert. When it’s time to consider the need to repair or replace your air conditioning system, we offer three major factors to consider when it comes to AC replacement.

1. Your Air Conditioner Is More Than 10 Years Old
Is your air conditioner more than ten years old? At and around the 10-year mark, many AC units start their decent into AC troubles and will likely need replacement in the near future. Some units will last a couple of years beyond this. At this age, most AC equipment efficiency is in decline.

With the advancement of technology, new AC models are far ahead of the older ones when it comes to efficiency of operation, saving resources, space, and monthly bills. Not to mention the Smart Home Technology that is available.

2. Too Many AC Repairs Occurring
Something else to note in older AC equipment is that once a unit starts needing repair after repair – it’s time to consult with your professional AC contractor. Beyond ten years of keeping your home comfortable, AC repairs can start mounting up and costing you lots of money. At this point, leaks can occur and parts wear out, and in many AC units, it can become too much to deal with. This is when it becomes time to determine if AC replacement is needed.

3. Energy Bills Continue to Rise
Once you notice a significant increase in your energy bill, pay attention to the AC to be sure it is running properly. After years of operation and especially if there has been little maintenance done, the equipment can lose efficiency and start costing you more money. Rising energy bills is one of the main clues to watch for with older AC units.

6 TIPS TO REDUCE SPRING ALLERGENS IN YOUR HOME

23
Mar

Spring is in the air in Phoenix and that means the temperature is rising, plants are blooming, and pollen is in the air. With the onset of spring come seasonal allergies and in the U.S. there are approximately 50 million seasonal allergy sufferers. For these people, spring can be a miserable time of year.

Reduce allergens in your home using these 6 tips

• Spend less time outdoors when pollen counts are high – this lessens the amount of pollen allergen you inhale and it reduces symptoms.
• Keep windows closed during pollen season and use central air conditioning
• Use high quality air filters. Change filters monthly, as they help reduce microscopic particles and indoor allergens.
• Vacuum, sweep, and dust areas around the indoor vents to reduce allergens in your system.
• Watch for signs of mold as it thrives in moist and humid areas.
• Spring Air Conditioning Maintenance from a licensed professional contractor is one of the best ways to significantly reduce the airborne allergens in your home and office. This helps eliminate particles like dust mites, pet dander, mold, insect debris, and more. Breathe better with AC Maintenance recommended each spring and fall for your best results.

Have a healthy and happy spring!

 

FURNACE SOUNDS AND THEIR CAUSES

21
Dec

ms-furnaceMechanical equipment in your home or business can develop interesting sounds, especially if the system has not been maintained on a regular basis. Our heaters and furnaces work hard to keep us warm in winter, and it’s up to us to properly maintain the mechanical equipment. Proper care of our equipment helps extend its longevity and helps prevent malfunctions in the heating and furnace.

Occasionally, you might hear curious sounds coming from the furnace and here are some of the sounds and their causes.

A Screeching sound can indicate a problem with your motor or fan belt.

A Chirping can be common in some furnaces. It can be a natural sound in the mechanisms.

 • A Pinging sound in the furnace can be caused from expanding and contracting ducts.

 • Booming sounds can be the result of weather warming and cooling. If this should occur and your furnace smells as though it’s
burning – there could be a dirty burner in the furnace – or possibly a defective gas valve.

 • Rattling sounds can typically occur when a system is heating and is not normally cause for alarm.

Once you hear sounds that give you cause for concern, be sure to call
on Marlin Services to check out your system, 602-470-1040.

PREVENT INDOOR HEAT FROM OVERWORKING YOUR AC

25
May

ms opening curtainsBecause air conditioners tend to run hard during spring and summer in metro Phoenix, we’d like to share a few tips to help lessen the stress put on your AC’s operating system. Air conditioners can overheat when they work too hard and they must overcompensate when too much heat accumulates in the home. You can take action to help reduce the amount of internal heat generated in your home from taxing your AC operations.

LESSEN THE HEAT LOAD ON YOUR AC WITH THESE TIPS

  • Check your attic and be sure there is proper insulation to keep your AC running efficiently to cool the home. To keep your home cooler and reduce utility bills, add insulation if needed.
  • Keep windows and doors closed during the heat of the season.
  • Use window coverings to block the harsh sun from heating the inside of the house.
  • Operate electronics, lights, small appliances, stoves, dishwashers, washers and dryers only when you need them and during cooler times of the day. This helps reduce the amount of heat generated inside the home.
  • Instead of using the stove all the time, use the outdoor grill instead. It’s a good way to reduce the indoor temperature.
  • Commit to regular air conditioning maintenance, and have AC repairs handled quickly, and be sure to change your air filter monthly to keep your home cool and comfortable through the heat of the season.
