Emergency Air Conditioning Service vs. Annual Maintenance Agreements

Heating and cooling equipment maintenance agreements are an excellent way to insure that the comfort system continues to operate efficiently while extending the life of the equipment’s critical components. These agreements usually feature two annual preseason checkups that include coil cleaning as well as diagnostics for the compressor and other vital system elements.

Perhaps more importantly, an HVAC maintenance agreement usually includes a provision for priority service in the case of an emergency. In areas that experience extreme summer heat, air conditioners are operating almost continuously under the most demanding conditions. As a result, a high number of failures occur during these periods. In these instances, established customers with service contracts take precedence over everyone else.

Federal Energy Saving Tax Credits and Utility Company Rebates

The 2009 stimulus act has given homeowners the opportunity to receive a tax credit up to $1500 for the installation of specific high efficiency heating and air conditioning equipment “placed in service” by December 31, 2010.

Systems that qualify include spilt air conditioners with efficiency ratings of at least 16 SEER and 13 EER, as well as package systems of at least 14 SEER and 12 EER.

Split heat pumps qualify with a minimum rating of 15 SEER and 12.5 EER, while package heat pumps must have a SEER rating of at least 14 and an EER of 12.

There are a variety of state and local utility company rebate programs aimed at encouraging consumers to upgrade to higher efficiency HVAC equipment. Consult a local licensed heating and air conditioning contractor to learn about programs in your specific area.

Indoor Air Quality

Modern structures are built to national standards that insure the building envelope will be essentially air tight and energy efficient. Unfortunately, the byproduct of these advanced construction techniques is often an insufficient amount of air exchange between the structure and outside fresh air. As a result, indoor air quality can be up to five times worse than outdoor air according to the EPA.

Air conditioning and heating contractors offer a variety of solutions to address unhealthy indoor air. Installing air exchange devices will introduce a measured amount or fresh air into the structure. Humidifiers, dehumidifiers, electronic air cleaners and UV light solutions that actually kill airborne viruses all provide an answer to the problem of indoor toxins.

Air Conditioning Repair

Modern air conditioning equipment is complex and should only be repaired by a licensed HVAC contractor. Certified technicians are thoroughly trained in computer control board circuitry, CFC free refrigerants, sub heat and sub cool metering and air distribution system design. This training insures that a breakdown will be properly diagnosed and repaired in the most effective and cost efficient manner.
