During the winter months, Arizonans enjoy the best weather in the country. However, it’s a given that triple-digit temperatures are just around the corner. And, when they arrive, you don’t want to be “hot under the collar” dealing with an air conditioner that doesn’t work.

Each year, across the valley, calls flood into HVAC repair companies around late April to early May. Why? This is when temperatures reach a point when air conditioning is necessary. Homeowners who haven’t scheduled maintenance checks on their air conditioners are often surprised to find that their units don’t work when they flip their thermostat to the “cool” setting. With an influx of calls, there can be extended wait times for repair work. This is never a good way to kick off the summer season!

Don’t Put the “Pro” in Procrastination

While it’s easy to put some things off, it’s never a good idea to procrastinate on scheduling air conditioning maintenance. The stakes are too high. Not only are you risking having an unexpected system problem just when you need some cool air, you’re also jeopardizing the long-term function of a very expensive piece of household equipment.

An Ounce of Prevention…

If you think about it, there are few things more valuable in your home than your air conditioner. And, the good news is it’s incredibly easy to keep it functioning optimally whenever you need it. This begins with choosing an expert in air conditioner repair.

Whether it’s for you or a loved one, the gift of home comfort is truly a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year. While it’s easy to not think about your HVAC system when it’s working properly, it can quickly become top of mind when there is a system problem or if energy bills start escalating due to decreasing system efficiency.

If you or someone you know could benefit from lower heating bills or wants to simply increase the energy efficiency of their home, here are some gift ideas to consider:

Maintenance Contract

A professional maintenance contract is an ideal gift because it improves the performance of an HVAC system while lowering energy bills and reducing the risk of unexpected system breakdowns. With a maintenance contract, you also gain the advantage of discounted repairs and preferred appointment scheduling.

Programmable Thermostat

An outdated thermostat not only creates the potential for an unexpected breakdown, it’s also highly inefficient. A new programmable thermostat is the gift of accurate, programmable temperatures that can ensure home comfort is maintained throughout the day.

Filters

While not expensive, filters are not something most of us think about on an average day. Yet, HVAC system filters should be replaced at least once a month. A year-long supply of filters is an inexpensive, thoughtful gift that provides better air quality, along with greater energy efficiency.

An Energy Audit

Is there someone on your gift list who is struggling with high energy bills? Call Cool Blew today to evaluate their home. With a comprehensive energy audit, leaks, cracks and areas that require more insulation can be quickly identified.

New HVAC Systems

Consider giving yourself the gift of a new HVAC system to provide greater home comfort and save you substantially on your energy bills in 2018. At Cool Blew, we offer free expert guidance on HVAC system installations in Peoria, Arizona and throughout the Valley.

Happy Holidays from the entire team at Cool Blew

It’s Halloween, the time for scary, spooky things like ghosts, goblins and ghouls. Yet, for homeowners, there are few things more haunting than an HVAC problem that could have been prevented with regular HVAC maintenance.

With temperatures beginning to drop in the Valley of the Sun, it’s the ideal time to schedule preventive HVAC service. This can greatly reduce the risk of your system experiencing a frightful malfunction. Here are 6 scary things you can avoid by scheduling an HVAC maintenance appointment.

1. Unexpected Loss of Heat or Cool Air

   Minor issues can be identified early during an HVAC maintenance check and repaired so they don’t turn into system failures. This can prevent the unexpected frustration of having a home without heat or air conditioning.

2. Reduced Efficiency

   Without regular maintenance, you can have a host of issues that impact your HVAC system’s efficiency. The result can be one downright frightening utility bill! Cleaning, early identification of problems and proactive repairs are fundamental to ensuring your system is functioning at full capacity.

3. Compressor Failure

   Dirty condenser coils cause your compressor to work harder than it needs to, shortening its lifespan and putting you at risk for a costly system failure. During regular HVAC maintenance, your coils are cleaned, greatly reducing your chance of a compressor failure.

4. Leaking Refrigerant

   Your air conditioner requires a set amount of refrigerant to properly function. Even with a minor leak, your system efficiency can be reduced by 20 percent or more. Don’t take chances with this easily corrected problem. During a system-wide tune-up, leaks can be identified and repaired.

5. Heater Exchange Failure

   Do you have a gas heater? A failing heat exchanger can result in the seeping of dangerous carbon monoxide into your home. Besides having working carbon monoxide detectors, it’s vital to get regular maintenance on your heating system to ensure your heater exchanger is functioning properly.

6. Motor and Bearing Malfunctions

   Like with any piece of machinery, HVAC equipment requires lubrication to keep the motor and bearings operating smoothly. Without this, the motor can heat up and result in a completely preventable system failure.

Schedule your fall maintenance appointment today with Cool Blew. We’re here to help you maximize the life and efficiency of your HVAC system.

You’ve probably heard the old adage, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This certainly rings true when it comes to the function of your air conditioning system. In other words, it’s much easier to obtain preventive maintenance on your air conditioner than to deal with costly repairs. Unfortunately, air conditioners have a habit of breaking down at the most inopportune time – like during a holiday weekend when the temperatures are soaring into the triple digits. The fact of the matter is that it’s always easier to proactively prevent a problem than to deal with it after it has happened.

With a Residential Preventive Maintenance Agreement from Cool Blew for your home in Peoria, AZ or anywhere in the Phoenix area, you’ll gain the advantage of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure your air conditioning system is working optimally. This includes cleaning and inspecting the air filter, as well as checking the operation of the thermostat, wiring, connections, fuses, coils, amps, motor bearings and more. You’ll also enjoy priority service, if and when you need it, as well as a 15 percent discount on all parts and labor, access to emergency service, no overtime charges, and scheduled service reminders.

Measurable Cost Savings

You’ll enjoy considerable savings by investing in a preventive maintenance agreement. This includes lowering the number of repair calls you’ll need over the lifetime of your air conditioner, as well as decreasing repair costs and lowering the risk of a system failure.

Yet, perhaps the most important benefit of a preventive maintenance agreement is gaining the peace of mind knowing that Cool Blew technicians will identify problems before they turn into system failures. We are the experts in Arizona air conditioner repair.

What to Consider

Before signing any preventive maintenance agreement, you’ll want to evaluate the cost of routine maintenance for your unit to make sure the cost of the service contract is comparable. Ask if emergency repairs are included and carefully read the fine print before signing any contract. Remember – a maintenance contract is only as good as the service provider who is backing it.
