Air Conditioning Articles

Spring is finally arriving in North Carolina! The days are getting longer, the flowers are blooming, and you’re probably already thinking about dusting off the patio furniture or tackling that messy garage.

While North Carolina enjoys terrific weather most of the year, our summers can quickly get muggy and hot. Those high temperatures—along with the humidity—demand a reliable AC unit. That means you need a nearby heating and cooling company you can trust to maintain your HVAC system year-round.

Ductless air conditioning is a low-maintenance and affordable option to upgrading to a newer A/C unit when more cooling is needed inside your home.

Sometimes, a simple, elegant piece of technology can deliver more with less. Ductless mini splits are a triple threat—compact wall units that generate heating, cooling, and ventilation. No ducts required, and no dull whirring noises—they operate in near silence. 

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This universal rating system helps you determine the efficiency of your North Carolina air conditioning (AC) unit or heat pump.

Today’s air conditioner (AC) is based on a prototype invented in 1902 by Willis Carrier, an engineer from Buffalo, New York. Unlike earlier forms of cooling, Carrier’s model controlled the temperature by removing heat and humidity from the air.

Sometimes, life moves incredibly fast. You could have sworn you just bought your air conditioner. But lately, it doesn’t seem to be working so well. You check the box and are shocked to find out you’ve had it for a decade. Where did the time go?

When you’re looking at how your air conditioner works, it can depend on a wide variety of factors.
