We’re officially in the throes of fall, and soon enough we’ll be graced with chillier temperatures. As a result, there are a few rather important Nashville, TN HVAC services to get on your schedule. One of these is your annual (or biannual, if you have a heat pump) heating maintenance appointment.
There are some basic maintenance jobs you can do on your own when it comes to your heating system. For instance, you should be changing your clogged or dirty air filter every 1-3 months. However, full maintenance that actually makes a difference in the performance and functionality of your heating system requires the services of a professionally trained heating technician.
Typically, springtime is the season in which many homeowners get rid of their old air conditioners and invest in a 
You’re probably pretty familiar with your own home, right? You know what it looks like, smells like, and sounds like—from the hum of your refrigerator to the “whooshing” of water through your dishwasher. One other important piece of equipment that you hear operate is your air conditioner. When strange or unfamiliar sounds come from this important appliance, it’s vital that you not ignore them.
With temperatures traditionally still in the 80s well through September, we have plenty of time to keep on using our air conditioners. But, what if yours isn’t doing its job as efficiently or as effectively as it should?
We are officially nearing the end of summer, though the heat of our climate can extend pretty far into fall. As far as your air conditioner is concerned, this late in the season it’s likely built up a good amount of wear and tear from a few months of daily use—particularly if you skipped out on your annual maintenance appointment (or biannual, if you have a heat pump).
We get it—hearing the term “heat pump” if you’ve never known what it was probably doesn’t elicit thoughts of cooling comfort within your home. But a heat pump is actually a heating and a cooling system in one, and an effective system at that! Homeowners might assume that this means the system is a combo of a furnace and forced air cooling system in a single cabinet, but this is not how its set up—a heat pump uses the same components for both efficient heating and air conditioning.
We get a lot of questions about the costs of air conditioning. How much will an installation cost? (It depends) What about repairs? (It also depends!) Are there any ways I can reduce the costs of actually operating my air conditioner? (Yes!)
In a previous blog post, we talked about some of the issues you might face if you need 
Operational issues with your air conditioning system are much more likely to occur during the summer than any other time of the year. This is because even though you may use your cooling system sporadically throughout the year, thanks to unseasonable heat waves, the summer is when it runs on a daily basis—meaning this is the time that it accumulates the most stress, and wear and tear.
This is a question that HVAC professionals receive a lot, and for good reason. And as much as we wish we could give you a black-and-white answer, the real response is, “it depends.” There are many factors that go into pricing for your
