July 17 is the coolest date on the calendar.
It marks National Air Conditioning Day, commemorating the work of Willis Carrier, the father of the modern-day indoor air conditioning system. It is the perfect time to put your feet up, chill out, and luxuriate in the cool comfort of your Tennessee home.
Everyone knows temperature plays a vital role in comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ).
Your AC cannot make up its mind. One minute, it runs. Then it stops. Then it runs again.
Your air conditioner (AC) can do several things––keep your Tennessee home’s indoor air cooler than outdoor temperatures, help to keep indoor airborne allergens at bay, and help keep your home’s humidity low. But one thing it can’t do is kill mold.
The same goes for a heat pump. The outdoor unit might be in perfect working condition. Still, the heating and cooling process stops without an indoor evaporator coil, connecting refrigerant lines, and a fan to blow conditioned air through ductwork.
Should you repair or replace? That’s always the big question when it comes to major home systems like air conditioning (AC).
Everyone loves to save money, and it’s a good idea to review different aspects of your budget now and again to see if there are more opportunities you have missed in the past. Considering how to reduce your energy bills is always a great idea in the springtime.
You just discovered there is a puddle of water on the floor in front of your furnace. What does this mean? Why would your furnace be leaking water?
One reason Tennessee homeowners love heat pumps is they function as an all-in-one unit. Instead of purchasing and maintaining a separate furnace and air conditioning system, you can simply transition your heat pump from the heat setting to the cooling setting and vice versa as seasons warrant.
If your furnace is producing a strange smell, you should always treat it with caution. While the cause for the odor may be benign, it could just as easily be harmful to inhale. When in doubt, always open windows to ensure ventilation, and evacuate your Chattanooga home.
