WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A GOOD CENTRAL AIR SYSTEM?

History of dependability, quiet operation,  efficiency with an AHRI Certification to prove it, easy parts order for any future repairs, and full technical support.

WHAT ABOUT EQUIPMENT SIZING? HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE TO BUY?

The air conditioner for your home must be sized properly in order to operate to optimal levels. A proper sizing can be performed by our professional hvac experts. We do in-house computer computations to figure a manual J heat load/loss calculation. This is the best way to know exactly what size of unit your home needs. In Kentucky, certain weather data is used to determine proper sizing based on temperatures, humidity levels and other factors that affect our comfort levels. At 1st Service Heating and Air, we make sure the unit is sized correctly, and we back that up with our Double Labor Warranty and satisfaction guaranteed promise.

WE KEEP YOUR COMFORT AND EQUIPMENT EFFICIENCY IN MIND WHEN DESIGNING A SYSTEM.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THIS STATEMENT: “I WANT A BIGGER SYSTEM BECAUSE MY OLD UNIT NEVER KEPT UP?”  THAT MAY NOT BE THE BEST CHOICE. OLDER SYSTEMS COULD HAVE MANY PROBLEMS THAT CAUSE THEM NOT TO WORK PROPERLY. THESE PROBLEMS INCLUDE BLOCKED AIR FLOW, LOW REFRIGERANT LEVELS, IMPROPER INSTALLATION, WEAKENED COMPRESSOR VALVES, OR OTHER COMPONENT FAILURES.

1ST SERVICE HEATING AND AIR will determine the proper size for your home. Oversized units can cause problems just like undersized units can. An oversized unit will cycle on and off because too much cooling is taking place too soon. Humidity does not get removed and the constant start and stopping can cause wear and tear on the equipment, as well as   higher energy bills.  If a unit is to small, sufficient cooling will not be provided. Since every home is different, your home needs to be measured with factors taken into consideration: window types, insulation values, duct work, and other important factors that contribute to heating and cooling loads.

How is your heating and cooling system operating? Proper maintenance is essential to your home’s comfort level. When you keep your air conditioning system running properly it can help save you money by lowering your high-cost utility bills. A properly maintained system will cool better, provide better air distribution, and keep the unit running to maximum capacity and efficiency.  After all, you wouldn’t drive your car without changing the oil when needed, would you? That would cause wear and tear and major issues. An hvac system also needs proper maintenance in order to run at its utmost efficiency. Contact us to learn about our VIP Maintenance Service.
