Summer's Comming...

Can you feel it in the air? Summer's creeping up. Before you know it, it will be 400degrees and 80% humidity.

Well, not exactly. But it CAN feel like that if you have no air...or sometimes if you do. If your air system was installed in the 90s or before, the air pressure is probably lacking and your home is probably not as cool as it should be.

Things to know about new systems:

1. The mechanism to even out humidity levels are much more refined in newer units. That means that in the summer more humidity will be taken out of your cooled air, and less humidity will be taken out of heated air to ensure the optimum degree of comfort.
2. The refrigerant is environmentally friendly. That means that you can flip the switch and not worry about contaminants getting into your environment.
3. Newer units save energy - that means they save money.
4. Ductwork is also getting more refined. That means that contractors take more time planning how they lay duct (making paths straight) and connections are better insulated preventing leaks. This keeps your home more comfortable as more air can get where it needs to go! Think about having your ducts replaced when you start looking into a new unit.
5. The filters on newer units catch more dust/pollen AND are easier to clean/replace. This makes a big difference in the air quality of your home. There are even newer add-ons that you can attach to units to increase the quality of air even more - by using electrical charges to gather particles.

These are just a few of the newer amenities available with newer installs. If your home isn't comfortable, don't wait another sizzling summer to get a unit that works. Take advantage of the tax credit, economic stimuls and sales!
