Keep Those Ears Peeled: AC Sounds That Signal a Problem

Monday, June 3rd, 2024

Human beings have some remarkable ways of detecting when something is wrong. Our noses can smell things that have gone bad, our eyes can make out dangerous animals or weather in the distance, and our ears can pick up even the slightest changes in sound.

If any of our customers are musicians, they’ll agree with just how incredible the human ear can be at picking up tiny details. But while our ears might pay attention to the latest hit single that’s blasting through the car radio, they’re less likely to pick up on problems with the air conditioner.

We’re hoping to change that with this blog. Here is a list of five noises that can come from your cooling system which might signal the need to schedule air conditioning service in Bellingham.

Cleaning Your AC Coils: Barron’s Best Practices

Monday, May 6th, 2024

We talk a lot about best practices that customers can take to improve the efficiency and condition of their air conditioning equipment. From changing your air filter to cleaning vents and adjusting thermostat settings, there’s a lot to consider. But one of the lesser-known things that customers might find helpful is the cleaning of AC coils.

Your air conditioner is comprised of an evaporator coil (the inside one) and a condenser coil (the outside one) which are both in charge of absorbing and dispersing heat. These coils need to be kept clean, otherwise you can come across some pretty bad situations. Dirty coils lead to bad efficiency, ice growing on them, and even uncomfortable indoor temperatures.

So, if you’re looking for how to clean AC coils in Bellingham, or would like to know Barron’s secret easy tip for getting this done perfectly every year, then keep reading!

The Best Place for a New Mini Split Setup

Monday, March 11th, 2024

Mini split systems are not the same as conventional heating or cooling units. Those systems are not very aesthetically pleasing, specifically because they sit in your basement or crawlspace where you’re not going to interact with them. Conventional, centralized HVAC systems work behind the scenes and are not meant to be nearby.

However, a mini split heat pump is different. Ductless mini splits in Ferndale are more aesthetically appealing and also work independently of one another. You can have several set up in your home to maximize comfort and efficiency.

This means that more thought needs to go into the look and feel of your home if you’re planning on investing in one of these systems. Where might it fit best? Where is a good spot for it if your home is unconventional? That’s what we hope to explore in this blog post.

In this day and age, it’s not enough to be a standard HVAC company. Contractors can do great work, but communities can only thrive by having active community members who contribute to those who need help the most. Our business relies on community support just as much as our customers rely on us to do extraordinary work and show results.

So, one way we’re giving back is with the Barron KARES program. It’s a hands-on approach toward HVAC work rooted in empathy and good service. Each month, we’ll shine a spotlight on a specific charity or non-profit organization that is respected amongst our team and the community as a whole. We’ll provide a charitable donation, spread awareness, and work hard to give back.

Let’s talk about what this program means and why it’s so important to us.
