Do I Really Need An Air Conditioner Check? Mother Nature Says Yes!

Whether you believe in global warming or not, there is no denying it is hot out there on this 4th of July.  People will not look at you sideways in a mocking gesture if you say your best friend is a machine aka an air conditioner.
It does not matter if it is a mini-split system, high velocity system, fan coil system, central air conditioner or your basic window a/c.  You depend on it to be there when you need it and you need it when the temperature is this hot.
Having your cooling system checked in the late spring or early summer will achieve peace of mind knowing that any potential causes of failure are likely to be discovered during an air conditioner check. Some potential issues are:

• Low Refrigerant causing your A coil to freeze and reduce air flow and cooling ability.
• A leak or hole in the a/c or cooling line resulting in a flat air conditioner.  This may mean a contaminated system resulting in a new a/c.
• Compressor going bad resulting in blown fuses and the need for a new a/c.
• Bad a/c fan motor.
• Dirty fins from cotton wood trees.

If you take care of your best friend, your best friend will take care of you during your time of need.  And do you ever need it now.
So, to answer the question “Do I need an air conditioner check?”, yes, yes you do!
You can schedule your air conditioner check online by clicking A/C Check or calling Minneapolis Saint Paul Plumbing Heating Air.

Air Conditioning MN Tips For Homeowners

Why Is My Central Air Conditioning Not Cooling In MN? Look To The Trees.

Spring is a wonderful time of the year.  Warm days, cool nights and the fresh look of everything new.  One of the passages of spring is the cottonwood seeds floating through the air giving the impression of snow without the cold.  Cottonwood seeds may give the impression of being harmless.  However, it is one of the leading causes of service calls for no cooling in your home.
Your central air conditioner is dependent on air flow to operate efficiently.  Air is drawn threw fins by a big fan in your a/c unit outside your home.  This air is circulated from outside the condenser unit threw the metal fins and out the top of the unit via a fan.  This air is used to reduce the heat of the refrigerant that is circulated through pipes or refrigerant lines going into your house and into an A coil that your furnace blower motor blows air over.  I know this is more than you wanted to know, but it provides a little background as to what happens when your a/c is working properly.
The problem with cottonwood seeds is that they tend to get sucked into the fins of your air conditioner condenser as a result of the air flow mentioned above.  The more seeds sucked into the fins the less air that is available to cool the refrigerant that is flowing through the system.  This results in the a/c either shutting down from overheating or not being able to cool the air in your home as necessary.  You will probably hear the condenser fan running as fast as it can while it gets warmer in your home.
Four actions  you can take to help lengthen the life of you central air conditioning system, safe money and remain comfortable are:

• Clean the coils of the air conditioner with water or air.  Be careful to not bend the fins.
• Clean all trees, bushes or miscellaneous stuff  away from the air conditioner unit.
• Provide a shaded environment or put the air conditioner on the side where the sun does not shine in the afternoon.
• Have a contractor perform a yearly clean and check on your air conditioning system.

Taking care of your central air conditioning system will help it take care of you.  Being proactive will help you from needing to be reactive down the road.
At Minneapolis Saint Paul Plumbing Heating Air, we can help you keep your system in top condition or install a new HVAC system when you need it.

9 ways to cut summer energy costs

With energy costs on the rise, this summer could be sweaty — and expensive. But there are some easy ways to trim your cooling costs without suffering through 90-degree evenings, sans air conditioning. In fact, if you start preparing for the coming heat wave now, you can probably save a few hundred dollars. You'll also be doing the environment a favor, since the Energy Department estimates that half of a household's overall energy usage goes toward heating and cooling costs.

Plug up any holes

The cool air spewing out of vents should be treated like a precious vapor that must not escape. Inexpensive plastic film available at hardware stores can boost insulation around older windows where drafts are most likely. Foam and caulking can also help seal problem areas, as can extra insulation in the attic. Professionals can help with any installation challenges.
If you use window-unit air conditioners, make sure they fit tightly so air can't escape around the unit. The Energy Department recommends that window units have their own electrical circuits to reduce the risk of overloading the system. It estimates that creating a proper "thermal boundary" around your home can shave up to 20% off heating and cooling costs. Shutting the doors and vents of unused rooms can also lighten the load of your air-conditioning unit.

Close those shades

Anything that keeps the sun from coming in and creating a greenhouse effect will make it easier for your air-conditioning unit to maintain cooler temperatures. For the longer term, consider planting leafy trees or bushes to shade your home.

Keep the filters clean

It's a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it. In fact, Geoff Godwin, division vice president of Emerson, the country's largest provider of heating and cooling systems, says it's important to clean out air-conditioning filters once a month, which usually involves running water through them and letting them air-dry.

Program the thermostat

If your cat is home alone all day, he probably won't mind if things heat up a bit before you get home. Programmable thermostats, which allow the temperature to rise automatically during the day when no one is home, can lead to annual savings of 30%, Godwin estimates. Even though most systems today have programmable thermostats, people use them only about half the time, which means a lot of systems work harder than necessary. If trying to set the thermostat leaves you scratching your head, the step-by-step videos on the government's Energy Star website can help.

Unplug, unplug, unplug 

Even television sets, DVD players and computers that are turned off can suck power out of outlets, a phenomenon aptly referred to as "vampire power." That's why you should either unplug your electronics or use a Smart Strip, which cuts power when it's not needed.

Step away from the oven

Here's your excuse to order takeout, or at least rely more on prepared meals. Turning on the oven heats up the rest of the house, too, which forces your air conditioner to go into overdrive. If you still want to cook, consider an outdoor grill, toaster oven or even the stovetop, which gives off less heat than the oven.

Take cold showers 

Sure, you might need to crank up the water heater during those frigid winter months, but cooler showers in the summertime will let you turn down the temperature setting for a few months, which reduces energy costs. Godwin estimates that turning down the temperature on a 50-gallon tank from 130 degrees to 115 degrees can save more than $50 a year.

Bring in the professionals

Most experts suggest getting your air-conditioning unit serviced once a year, to check for potential problems such as mold, rust or grime buildup, all of which can hamper efficiency. "A lot of people don't do that — they ignore the AC system until something goes wrong," Godwin says. You can also give your home an overall check with an energy auditor, who can look for any air leaks and other inefficiencies.

Upgrade your systems

The Alliance to Save Energy suggests replacing older light bulbs with compact fluorescents. Doing so saves electricity directly, and fluorescents generate less heat. If you're buying other major items, such as washers, dryers, dishwashers or televisions, don't forget to take energy efficiency into account. The Energy Department's Energy Star rating helps consumers navigate those purchase decisions, so look for products with the label.
If you're in the market for a new air conditioner, the Energy Department recommends paying close attention to size. Some consumers mistakenly choose bigger units, thinking they'll be more powerful, but in reality, they can make too much noise and use excess electricity. A unit that's the right size for the home will last longer and be more efficient, it says.

Testimonials

"I would like to take the opportunity to let you know how professional and courteous Mark was in our home. Mark was extremely professional the first time he was here (last Wednesday) and explained everything he was doing. It is hard these days to trust people in your home, and at no time did I feel uncomfortable with Mark in our home including the fact we have a 2 1/2 yr old in the house. Mark was polite to the utmost, and respected every aspect of our home."

"I was extremely pleased that I was able to schedule a next day appointment, and that the office was able to call me when the technician was 30 minutes out so that I didn't have to spend the entire afternoon at home waiting for him. The technician was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Thank you."

"Thank you for making the job you did at my Mom's house a pleasure. I will surely pick your service again should I or my family require any sort of plumbing assistance in the future. "
