Air Conditioner Maintenance Tips to Save Money

May 14th, 2019
Air Conditioning

Given the hot summers in Michigan, most homeowners run their air conditioners until late September and easily forget about air conditioner maintenance until it’s too late. What if you had air conditioner maintenance tips to guide you? Did you know the neglect of your AC costs you in the long run?

Fortunately, A-1 Mechanical’s qualified HVAC technicians help you catch small issues before they turn into expensive air conditioning repairs or worse, breakdowns. Air conditioning service also ensures your unit runs as efficiently as possible which saves you money on energy bills.

To make preventive maintenance super easy, join one of our maintenance plans. We offer a couple of options for homeowners and customized plans for commercial HVAC clients.

Continue to learn our 5 best air conditioner maintenance tips.

1.) CHANGE AIR CONDITIONER FILTERS

We often sound like a worn out 45 record on this topic, but it’s so important. As the name suggests, air conditioner filters block dust and other airborne allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet hair and dander.

However, if the filter is clogged, it can’t continue to do its job. A dirty filter blocks airflow and forces your air conditioner to work harder to produce the same amount of cool air. Check it monthly and change the air filter if it’s dirty.

Don’t be surprised if you have to replace your filters more often during the cooling season. Early spring in Michigan means more mold spores are in the air as the ground thaws and exposes damp and decaying leaves.

As the weather warms tree pollen and other triggers join the allergy party. Changing an air conditioner filter is simple. One way to remember is to check each month when your utility bill arrives. If you’re unsure, ask your HVAC technician next time he or she visits for a tune up.

2.) CLEAR DEBRIS FROM THE OUTDOOR UNIT

Be sure to clear the outdoor AC unit of anything which blocks the heat transfer needed to cool your home. During the autumn, it’s common for fallen leaves to cover your AC unit.

Likewise, make sure the AC unit is clear of grass clippings after mowing your lawn. It’s also wise to avoid cutting grass while the compressor is running, if possible. You don’t want clippings getting sucked into the AC compressor.

Walk around the AC unit after severe weather and clear away yard waste like fallen leaves and twigs. Also, landscape carefully. Avoid the temptation to camouflage the AC unit with shrubbery or fencing.

AC compressors should have two to three feet of clearance for optimal airflow. Why is this important? When debris blocks the outdoor air conditioning unit, the system uses more energy to produce the same amount of cool air.

The energy efficiency and lifespan of your air conditioner decreases when it’s forced to work so hard. To save money on your next energy bill, make sure nothing is blocking the outdoor unit.

3.) CLOSE BLINDS AND RUN FANS

We recommend keeping the blinds closed during the hottest part of the day when the sun reaches its peak. The heat carried by the suns rays quickly heats up your home and makes it uncomfortable during the summer months.

Fans, however, circulate cool air throughout your home to create a wind chill effect. Don’t pay to run the fan if no one’s in the room because they don’t cool the room. They cool the people in it by speeding evaporation of perspiration.

If you live in a two-story house, you’ll want to place extra fans on the second floor. Fans can help keep your home at a comfortable temperature during the summer while reducing stress on your air conditioning unit.

You might consider planting deciduous trees or shrubs. In the summer, they block direct sun from your south-facing windows. In the winter, when they’ve lost their leaves they let the warmth of the sun inside.

4.) OPEN WINDOWS ON COOL DAYS

Your air conditioner will last longer if you only use it on hot days. When the temperature is cool outside, shut off the AC and open up all the windows. The cool fresh air will help you save money that you would have otherwise spent on running your air conditioner.

During early summer, you may be able to get away with leaving the windows open in the mornings and evenings. However, the opportunities to let in cool fresh air quickly fade by the time summer arrives and are less of an option if you live with allergies.

5.) INVEST IN AIR CONDITIONER MAINTENANCE

No homeowner wants to pay for premature air conditioning replacement, which is why we recommend investing in maintenance. It’s truly one of our best air conditioner maintenance tips!

Our HVAC technicians catch minor issues before they snowball into expensive and inconvenient repairs. Air conditioners with regular maintenance run efficiently, cost less to run and last longer.

Tips for Running Your Furnace Efficiently [Homeowner’s Guide]

May 14th, 2019
Heating

As the leaves change colors and temperatures drop, you’ll need tips for running your furnace efficiently. Because your furnace hasn’t run all summer, your first step is to schedule maintenance with one of our HVAC contractor technicians.

We can help you maintain a high efficiency furnace so you can save money in the long run on energy bills and avoid expensive heating repairs this winter.

Continue reading for our tips for running your furnace efficiently. We’ll give you practical to-dos to get the most comfort from your heating system, use the least amount of energy, and keep your furnace running as long as possible.

Our HVAC contractor techs recommend furnace maintenance as early as possible so you can avoid being without heat in the middle of January. During inspection, we’ll also make sure your furnace runs safely and efficiently.

Furnace Efficiency Tips (Plus Bonus Tips to Lower Heating Bills)

  1. Unblock air vents and registers
  2. Change furnace filters
  3. Program thermostat for winter; upgrade if necessary
  4. Schedule furnace or heat pump maintenance
  5. Remove airflow obstructions from furnace or condenser
  6. Use sun during the day; thermal curtains at night
  7. Set ceiling fans to clockwise during winter
  8. Use the oven for cooking, if feasible – not for heating!
  9. Seal drafts around doors, garage doors and windows
  10. Rethink hard surfaces
  11. Monitor humidity levels; consider a whole house humidifier

Unblock Air Vents and Registers

If you have rearranged furniture since the last time you ran your furnace, you’ll want to make sure there’s nothing blocking the registers, radiators, or baseboard heaters. It’s not uncommon for furniture, toys, or even heavy curtains, to block air vents.

If a room feels colder than the rest of your house, you’ll want to first make sure that nothing is blocking the air vents. Resist the temptation to close off rooms or vents. This is a myth that it saves “heating load” or money on heating bills. What this actually does is disrupt the pressure balance in your home.

Your furnace works harder trying to balance the air pressure. Working harder means more stress on your furnace, more energy consumption, higher utility bills, and an increased risk of repairs or worse, a furnace breakdown and replacement.

Be sure to dust regularly and occasionally, remove the vent and give a quick vacuum using a brush attachment.

Check and Change Furnace Filters

Your furnace filter traps allergens floating in the air like dust, dirt, pollen, and pet hair. However, you’ll need to make sure you change dirty furnace filters every three to 12 months so your furnace continues to run efficiently.

Manufacturer’s recommendations vary, based on the type of HVAC equipment, the filter model, and the household environment.

A dirty filter causes your forced air furnace to run inefficiently. This is because your furnace has to work harder to produce the same amount of heat. Unfortunately, this can cause the house furnace to prematurely break down or drive up your energy bills in the meantime.

For example, a clogged filter may cause the blower motor to overheat and trip safety sensors to shut down the furnace. Clogged filters might push the components to the point that the heat exchanger develops cracks early.

A cracked heat exchanger allows toxic carbon monoxide to escape and put your family at risk. Overall, check your filter monthly and change when it’s dirty, usually every three months. Households with smokers, pets, or members with respiratory illnesses often find monthly is best.

Program Thermostat for Winter

The best way to save money this year is to program your thermostat for cold weather. This means setting your programmable thermostat for as low a temperature as is comfortable. The lower the temperature on your thermostat, the less energy your furnace uses to heat your home.

We recommend lowering the temperature when everyone is out of the house. You may also want to lower the temperature in your home if you plan on going away on a winter vacation. Remember to keep the temperature above 55 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent the pipes from freezing.

If you still have a manual or dial thermostat, you have a lot to gain from an upgrade. A programmable, WiFi or “smart” thermostat allows you to dramatically increase your energy efficiency.

Program settings to coincide with household routines, like an empty house during school or work hours on weekdays. Program a different setting for weekends when everyone’s home. The more advanced, the more you can do with it. Adjust WiFi thermostats, for example, using an app on your smartphone.

Change the temperature from work so it’s toasty when you get home if the temperature suddenly drops. In bed upstairs and it feels stuffy? Change the temperature on your smartphone or tablet without leaving your room.

“Smart” thermostats “learn” household routines after a couple of weeks of manual programming. These modern tools bring more customization to your comfort and save energy without the “one size fits all” approach of older manual thermostats.

Schedule Furnace Maintenance

We always recommend customers schedule their furnace tune ups in the fall so any repairs are complete before the first snow. Our HVAC contractor technicians are able to change dirty filters and do any necessary furnace repairs. The cost of furnace maintenance is less than what you would pay for premature furnace replacement in the middle of winter.

If you use a heat pump, be sure to schedule a tune up for heating season and again in the spring for cooling season. Because heat pumps both heat and cool, they need two seasonal maintenance visits.

Remove Airflow Obstructions from Furnace

Most of us house our HVAC equipment like furnaces and air conditioning air handlers in basements or even garages. We also use these areas for storage. Be sure to keep a three to five-foot area around your furnace clear for good airflow. It’s also a safety issue because you’re burning gas.

Same goes for the outdoor AC compressor unit. It’s less relevant if you use a furnace during the winter, but if you use a heat pump, keep the same buffer zone. Regardless, whether you use a heat pump or an AC, the outdoor unit needs good airflow too.

Keep shrubs, trees, and vegetation two to three feet away. Don’t try to camouflage it with a fence or plants. If you need a fence to protect it from dogs marking it, for example, use a wrought-iron or wide-spindle style.

Use the Sun’s Warmth

Our grandparents used what’s now known as “passive solar.” Planting deciduous trees on the south and east sides of the house shade it during hot summer days. When the trees lose their leaves, they let the sun’s warmth through to warm the house in the winter.

Evergreens, on the other hand, planted strategically, provide a wind break. In winter, keep sunny windows bringing in the warmth. As the sun sets, close the blinds or insulated curtains to “trap” the heat indoors.

Set Ceiling Fans to Clockwise

If you have ceiling fans, switch the blades’ rotation to clockwise for winter. This will draw cool air up and push the accumulated warm air down the walls to where you are. This keeps the rising warm air from hanging out around the ceiling while you shiver below.

Use the Oven for Baking

In the summer, we encourage folks to use the microwave or a toaster oven, to reduce the heat-producing elements in the house. In winter, bake all you like. It’s great crock-pot weather, of course, but when you use your oven it shares the heat with the immediate area. Roast a chicken instead of buying a rotisserie chicken at the deli. Try new cookie recipes and share your creations.

Never use an oven to heat your home by leaving the door open. Never.

Seal Drafts

Are you losing energy from your windows, doors, and garage doors? Seal them where you can to avoid losing heat (and money).

Rethink Hard Surfaces

Tiled and marble floors may be pretty and easy to wipe up spills, but they’re also cold. Put down more area rugs this winter. They’ll feel great, look cozy, and insulate against drafts.

Monitor Humidity Levels

The more moisture in the air, the warmer we feel, because perspiration has a harder time evaporating. This is why, in the summer, why it feels hotter when the humidity is high. In the winter, we experience the opposite problem.

A lack of moisture in the air accompanies cooler air. It also brings increased static electricity, dry nasal passages, and more sinus infections and nose bleeds. It’s also bad for wooden furniture, instruments, and floors.

Consider a whole house humidifier. They help control the amount of moisture in the air so you’re more comfortable and you can turn down the furnace because the air feels warmer.

What is a Home Automation System?

May 7th, 2019
Home Improvement

A home automation system allows you to remotely control your home’s indoor temperature around your schedule and the weather outside. In this blog post, we will go over the benefits of smart home systems so you can decide whether it’s worth the cost. For more information on what a home automation system or smart home gadget can do for your house, contact a HVAC technician near you.

REMOTELY CONTROLS TEMPERATURE

Home automation allows you to remotely change the temperature inside your home. This is useful when you plan on being away from your home for an extended period of time. For example, people who travel for business may appreciate being able to control their home’s indoor temperature while on the go. Simply use the smartphone app to monitor and control indoor temperature.

A home automation system can also come in handy when you’re on vacation. There’s no reason why the air conditioner or furnace has to work as hard when there’s no one at home. However, we recommend keeping the indoor temperature above 55 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent pipes from freezing in the winter.

IMPROVES ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Any HVAC technician would be able to tell you that a programmable thermostat is the first step toward a more energy efficient home. A home automation system takes this one step further by tracking how your heating and cooling systems are used during the week. With this information, you can figure out the most efficient way to program your thermostat for your family’s schedule and the seasonal temperatures outside. Increasing the energy efficiency of your home can also decrease how much you pay for energy bills each month.

FOLLOWS YOUR SCHEDULE

Save money with a home automation system. Home automation lets you to program your thermostat around the family’s schedule. For example, you may want to set the thermostat for a lower temperature in the winter while people are gone to school or work and have the indoor temperature increase the hour before people are expected to arrive home.

ADJUSTS FOR SEASONAL TEMPERATURES

During the spring and fall months, it’s not uncommon for there to be a big difference between morning and afternoon temperatures. For example, it’s not uncommon in October for it to be 45 degrees Fahrenheit in the morning and 70 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon. On a day like that, you may want to program your smart thermostat so that the furnace runs in the morning, but shuts off around noon. A home automation system lets you program indoor temperatures according to the season for maximum energy savings.

CONNECTS TO HOME SECURITY SYSTEM

Did you know that your home automation system can connect to the security system in your home? This means that you are able to watch live feed from your home’s connected security cameras through the home automation system app on your phone. A smart home is a safe home.

If your job takes you away from home a lot, you may feel more secure with connecting a home automation product to your existing security system. The app can also come in handy if you have to work full time, but want to make sure your children arrived home safely from school. If you wish to install a home automation system, we recommend calling a HVAC contractor near you.

Our Lansing HVAC contractors offer smart home systems so you can stay comfortable indoors year-round. To schedule HVAC service, or find the best home automation for your life, call A-1 Mechanical at (517) 272-8629.

Why Is My House So Humid?

May 7th, 2019
Air Conditioning

Michiganders understand high humidity is just one of the tradeoffs of living near the Great Lakes, but you may still ask “why is my house so humid?” Unfortunately, proximity to a water source like the Great Lakes increases the amount of moisture in the air and makes the air feel warmer, especially in the mornings.

Humidity tells you the moisture content, or how much water vapor is present in the air. When humidity is high, it feels muggy or “sticky” because sweat doesn’t evaporate easily.

Conversely, when humidity is low, your skin is drier and it’s easier to become dehydrated. Think of winter, when we’re indoors, the air is dry (and colder). We tend to have more issues with dry skin in the winter because more moisture evaporates from our bodies.

In this blog, we’ll review the difference between relative humidity and dew point, what is an achievable and recommended humidity level indoors and how your HVAC system works to control moisture.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND DEW POINT

Relative Humidity

The relative humidity is measured as a percentage. It defines if the air is saturated. If the relative humidity registers as 100 percent, for example, the air is saturated. If the percentage is 50, it means the air contains half of the water vapor required to be saturated.

As the amount of water vapor in the air increases, the relative humidity increases too. Now, if the temperature drops but the water vapor stays constant, the relative humidity goes up. If the temperature rises while the water vapor is the same, the relative humidity goes down.

Why? Because colder air needs less moisture to achieve saturation than warmer air. For example, in the morning, when the dew is still fresh on the grass, the relative humidity is higher. The morning air is cooler and closer to saturation.

Finally, cold air is denser than warm air, which leaves more room for water vapor in the warm air of summer.

Dew Point

Although you’ve probably heard someone say, “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity,” dew point is actually a better marker of humidity because it’s not dependent on temperature.

The dew point is the temperature in which the air must cool in order to be saturated. Below the dew point, water condenses from the air to surfaces, like the morning grass. Because it’s not related to temperature, the dew point doesn’t change as much during the day. So, in short, the answer to why is my house so humid is simply the air is nearly or fully saturated.

RISKS OF TOO MUCH HUMIDITY

When the humidity is high indoors, your home runs into certain risks including poor air quality. High indoor humidity often causes:

  • Mold and mildew growth
  • The right environment for dust mites to multiply
  • Insects and rodents seeking moisture. They leave behind droppings, nesting material and other particulates in your ventilation.
  • Cupping in hardwood floors and warping of wooden doors, door frames, and more
  • Uncomfortable living conditions for those with certain respiratory or cardiac conditions.

Humidity increases breathing difficulties for people with asthma, COPD, congestive heart failure and other conditions. Excess humidity increases allergy and asthma triggers like dust mites and mold and mildew spores.

HOW HUMIDITY AFFECTS COOLING

Too much moisture in the air traps heat and makes it feel hotter than the actual temperature. Therefore, it’s important to invest in an air conditioner or heat pump to both cool and dehumidify your home. Michigan weather might be great for growing blueberries, but if it’s humid inside, it may be hard to be comfortable and sleep well.

Humans cool their bodies by sweating. However, if there’s a lot of water vapor in the air, sweat can’t easily evaporate off our skin. At 100 percent relative humidity, for example, sweat won’t evaporate at all because the air is already completely saturated with water vapor.

Many people have ceiling fans to cool their homes, however, it is important to understand that fans do nothing to cool the air. They, in fact, provide a breeze to help your perspiration evaporate easier. They don’t cool the air, they help you feel cooler.

HOW AIR CONDITIONERS COOL YOUR HOME

Your air conditioning unit does more than just blow cold air into your home. It extracts heat and water vapor from the air to meet the temperature set by the thermostat. Inside your air conditioning unit are coils filled with refrigerant.

Refrigerant is a substance which moves back and forth between liquid and gas states to absorb and release heat. As the hot humid air from inside your home passes over these coils, the liquid refrigerant absorbs the heat and turns it into a gas.

To keep your home at a cool temperature, the air conditioner compresses the air inside the coils until it returns to liquid. The extra heat generated by compressing this gas releases outside the home via condenser coils and a second fan.

HOW AIR CONDITIONERS REDUCE HUMIDITY

High humidity makes the inside of your home feel clammy. Fortunately, an air conditioning unit extracts moisture with an evaporator coil. As humid air passes over the evaporator coil, it condenses and drains into a condensate pan.

To avoid water damage, keep an eye on your condensate pan. If you find water around your indoor air handler or suspect a clog in the line, call A-1 Mechanical for assistance. A small amount of water can easily create thousands of dollars of damage.

My House is Hot Upstairs and Cold Downstairs (What to Do!)

April 30th, 2019
HVAC

In Lansing, Michigan, many homeowners wonder why “my house is hot upstairs and cold downstairs.” The house is never the perfect temperature in every room. The simplest answer takes you back to elementary science class: heat rises.

In this blog, we’ll review some possible solutions to this uneven temperature problem, including some DIY tasks and some professional ones.

An ideal solution likely combines several of these items, so start with what you are able to do on your own. Then, have a professional come in when further improvements are necessary.

A list of potential solutions include some DIY tactics and some which require a professional:

DIY Steps:

  • Check ductwork for leaks
  • Adjust dampers
  • Improve insulation

Use an HVAC Contractor:

  • System zoning
  • Install ceiling fans or ductless AC units
  • Overall HVAC system upgrades

Let’s review them in more detail…

DIY – Check Ductwork for Leaks

Ductwork runs in your walls and attic or below floors to carry heated or cooled air to your living space. If you often ask yourself why my house is hot upstairs and cold downstairs, your ducts may be to blame.

Leaky ducts lose heated or cooled air in the unconditioned areas of your home before it reaches your living space. This is a waste of money. You’ve paid to heat and condition the air, but it escapes before it reaches your whole house.

To check your ducts, turn on your air conditioner and go into the ducts’ location. Move your insulation away from your ductwork and find the joints. Run your hand along the joints to feel for air leaks. If you feel air, secure your joints and then seal them with foil-faced tape. HVAC professional also perform these tasks for you if you prefer.

DIY – Adjust Dampers

Dampers are plates located inside your ducts and control the airflow into each room. There are four easy steps to adjust your home’s dampers. Be careful, however, not to completely shut up rooms. This causes an imbalance of pressure throughout the home.

Pressure imbalances force your HVAC equipment to work harder, which causes excess wear and tear, as well as higher energy bills. Try the following steps to resolve the damper issue. If you’re unsure, book an appointment with a pro.

  1. Open all vents or registers in your house. Find the AC duct trunks from your furnace and open all the damper levers. These are located on the side of the duct and should point the way the air flows.
  2. In rooms sufficiently cooled, close the balancing dampers. Simply turn the dampers so they are perpendicular to the airflow.
  3. Wait a few days to test the temperature in each room.
  4. Return to the furnace ducts and adjust any air conditioner dampers in uncomfortable rooms. Repeat as needed.


DIY – Improve Insulation

Insulation improvements are popular DIY projects. The results provide a more comfortable home and lower energy bills. The Department of Energy (DOE) encourages all homeowners to add insulation and make their home more efficient, regardless of age.

If you ask yourself why is my house is hot upstairs and cold downstairs, inspect your attic’s insulation. Add insulation around ducts in the attic and interior walls to improve comfort.

HVAC Professional – Zoning Systems

Zone your HVAC system with dampers in your ductwork to control the flow of air in different parts of the home. This creates temperature zones in your home. For example, zone your upstairs to receive more cool air than your downstairs to even out the temperature in your home.

Technicians create zones with a traditional system or the addition of ductless AC units. Ductless units are also available as mini-split heat pumps to both heat and cool your home. Keep this in mind if you have rooms which never seem to get warm enough in the winter.

HVAC Professional – Install Ceiling Fans or Ductless AC Units

Ceiling fans are a relatively inexpensive addition and help circulate and redistribute air, which makes you feel more comfortable.

Ductless AC units run independently from your home’s central air and heat. They either supplement a current system or work in homes without existing ductwork. They create zoned cooling and keep areas of your home cooler when your current system cannot keep up.

Your local HVAC professional installs these units with minimal disruption in your home. These modern cooling marvels are quiet, energy efficient and effective.

HVAC Professional – Overall HVAC System Upgrades

When all else fails, consider an overall HVAC system upgrade. When you replace an older, less efficient with a new, energy efficient model not only improves your home’s comfort level, but also saves you money in energy bills.

Sometimes uneven temperatures are due to an incorrectly-sized HVAC unit. Bigger isn’t always better when it comes to air conditioners, heat pumps and furnaces. A qualified HVAC professional can take measurements and provide a recommendation for you.
