Annual A/C Maintenance is always a MUST

Annual A/C Maintenance is a must, no matter how well your equipment is working

Annual A/C maintenance not only prevents unexpected breakdowns, but it also ensures the safety of your home. Even if your equipment is keeping your home perfectly cool and comfortable, it is essential to have your unit inspected each year to make sure there are no unexpected surprises.

You might not be the only one enjoying your A/C unit….

One of customer’s perfectly working a/c units was turned into a luxury home for a few of the neighborhood birds, which never would have been caught if not for their annual a/c maintenance.

Luckily, the nest was removed before any major issues could occur (no birds were harmed during this process).

Properly removing pieces of your ac and checking over the systems functionality should only be done by a certified professional, for your safety and the safety of your home.

Urine for a hot summer if your dog has this bad habit…

Posted on | by Schultheis Blog

Have you noticed a decline in the performance of your air conditioning system? Surprisingly if you have a dog they can have a big impact on your equipment during those hot summer months.

If your dog loves to leave their mark on your air conditioner, you may be in for a rude awakening this summer.

Dog urine can be very damaging to your air conditioning unit by eating away at the coil of the unit.

Damage to your unit’s coil can lower the seer rating, resulting in a less efficient system and a less comfortable home with higher energy bills.

Even if your air conditioner is a newer model, the urine can still cause extensive damage that ‘s hidden by the heavy-duty protective grates on the outside of the unit.

 

There are four ways you can deal with the issue:

1. Leave system as is, but the damage is done and your efficiency with decline with each use

2. Replace the system’s condensing coil, but this could be as costly as a new system

3. Replace the unit and move it to a new location that the dog cannot access

4. Relocate the current unit where dog does not have access

Our sales team can help you find an appropriate solution to protect your investment and make sure you have home comfort all summer long
