Say Goodbye To Fossil Fuels! Save Energy & Money with a Heat Pump.

When it comes to keeping our homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer, American consumers by and large turn to fossil fuels as their energy source. In fact, when it comes to energy consumption, according to ScienceDirect.com the energy used by American consumers for HVAC purposes is second only to the energy used for transportation.

What are fossil fuels?
Fossil Fuels are hydrocarbon-containing materials formed underground from the remains of dead plants and animals. These fuels are extracted from the Earth through mining and drilling and are used to keep our cars on the road and our homes and businesses powered and comfortable. Oil, natural gas, coal and propane are all examples of fossil fuels, and they are what most heating and cooling systems burn.

Why consider clean energy?
Mining, drilling, processing, and moving oil, gas and coal take a toll on our landscapes and ecosystems. Additionally, when fossil fuels are burned, they emit greenhouse gases which helps to contribute to air pollution.

New York State has a Clean Heat initiative that encourages New Yorkers to convert from fossil fuels to clean energy by heating and cooling their homes with a heat pump.
Common Central Air Conditioning Issues
We’ve compiled a short list of common issues we see when it comes to Central Air Conditioners that aren’t working properly. Review the list below so you will be familiar with some of the challenges homeowners often face with their central air conditioner and some proactive things you can do to help prevent issues.

The Air Conditioner Won’t Turn On
When it comes time to flip that ON switch to get some relief from warm outdoor temperatures, you fully expect for something to happen! What if it doesn’t? One common thing we hear when people call for service is that the AC won’t turn on. Be sure to check for simple issues before giving us a call, sometimes it is something as simple as thermostat batteries that are dead or a circuit breaker that is tripped.

The Air Conditioner Is Not Blowing Cold Air
We often get calls from people who claim their air conditioner is taking too long to cool off the home or is blowing no cold air at all. Either way, it’s a problem that needs to be addressed. One thing we suggest is to be sure you are changing your air filters frequently. An AC will not blow cold air if a dirty air filter is blocking the airflow. Sometimes a dirty air filter can add to issues with the condenser, causing it to freeze up and limiting its ability to cool your home.

The Air Conditioner Is Noisy
There are many reasons for an air conditioner to make noises. If you hear clicking sounds when turning on and off the unit, and it is not working properly, that could be a relay issue. Bumping, rattling, or banging could indicate issues with your motor or blower issues. Buzzing could point to an electrical issue.

Screeching sounds could be the compressor. Whatever the sounds, it’s a good idea to give a professional a call to properly diagnose and if possible, repair the issue.

The Air Conditioner Is Leaking
Any leak coming from you central Air Conditioning unit indicates an issue. There could be a blocked drainpipe, issues with your condensate plate or maybe low refrigerant levels. If you are concerned about a leak around your air conditioning unit, the best thing you can do is to turn the unit off and give us a call! We would be happy to assess the issue.
