AIR CONDITIONING IS MORE THAN A LUXURY – IMPORTANT TO HEALTH & COMFORT

13
Oct

Fall has arrived. September brought a welcome change of weather to Greater Phoenix, and now it’s time to clean up and maintain air conditioning systems and prepare heaters for cooler times. The typical summer of extreme heat also bestowed plenty of rain and thunderstorms on us. Our homes and their operating systems have taken a beating.

Keep in mind that air conditioning is not a luxury in our area. It’s a necessity, and it makes a significant difference to the health and comfort of all who live and visit. With this in mind, Marlin would like to remind you that mechanical systems need care and maintenance on a regular basis.

Below are valuable tips for caring and maintaining your air conditioning and heating equipment.


Replace Air Filters
is the easiest way to help your maintain your air conditioner. It improves efficiency, promotes longer life of the unit, keeps air ducts cleaner, and improves air quality in the home. Best to change filters monthly.

Keep Air Vents Clean for less dust, and better airflow in the home. Vacuum and wipe down air vents as needed. Also, keep furniture and other object clear of air vents for proper airflow and can cause overheating of equipment.

 

 

A/C/Heater Inspection & Maintenance is essential for optimal performance of your system. Mechanical equipment needs proper care by the professionals once or twice per year. That goes for all major air conditioning, heating, and plumbing systems – it saves you time, costly repairs, and equipment replacement sooner than needed. Marlin’s Protection Plan is a good call for your inspection and maintenance.

Properly Program Your Programmable Thermostat to control inside temperatures any time of day or night. This makes your home comfortable, more efficient, and saves you $$.

 

Insulate For The Season, for your best comfort and home efficiency. Efficient home insulation helps prevent air from leaving your home as well as, from entering. Check and replace insulation in the attic, around windows, doors, and walls as needed. At least once per year is recommended.

Clean Up The Outside A/C Unit to prevent debris, leaves, shrubs, and trees from growing up around the unit and obstructing its efficient operation. Shrubs should be planted 2-3 feet away from the a/c unit.

Be sure to use expert and professional help for mechanical maintenance and repairs. You can do the light work yourself like changing filters, cleaning vents, adding insulation, and keeping vegetation and debris from around the outside unit.

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.
