Though air conditioners are a major part of modern life, they hold many secrets few people know about.

It’s about to heat up here in Kenner. Make sure your air conditioner (AC) is primed for the Louisiana summer heat rays by scheduling a seasonal maintenance visit.

A major part of your health relies on getting a good night’s sleep. That’s why it’s not just important to run your air conditioner during the hot summer days. You also need to keep your home comfortably cool at night as well.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” There’s a reason why that old adage has been passed down through the years. It’s always better to be prepared for misfortunes than to have to deal with the consequences. During storm season in Westwego, that proves true for protecting your air conditioning system as well.

It’s the first really hot day of summer when open windows, sun-blocking shades, and the ceiling fans just can’t cut it anymore. You resign yourself to finally turning on your air conditioner (AC)—only to find it blowing warm air, making funny noises, or simply not cooperating at all. It’s a scenario we all dread, and one that our professionals at Precise Comfort & Climate Specialists want to prevent.

Many environmental issues play a part in your AC’s performance and can contribute to potential problems you may face.

Here’s a comprehensive air conditioning maintenance checklist, courtesy of our professionals at Precise Comfort, to help keep your system in excellent working order.

Home ownership comes with a great deal of responsibilities and an ever-growing to-do list. Add to that the responsibilities of a career and a family, and you see why modern life runs at a constant, fast pace here in New Orleans. It’s easy to bump things like an air conditioner tune-up down the priority list, both in terms of time and money. It’s very likely you have higher priorities requiring more urgent attention than an air conditioner that seems to be working just fine.

In the springtime, considering how you can reduce your energy bills is always a great idea. According to the US Department of Energy (DOE), air conditioners use about 6 percent of all electricity in the country at a cost of roughly $29 billion to homeowners.

An air conditioner (AC), just like a car, needs regular maintenance and service to run efficiently. At Precise Comfort and Climate Specialists, we recommend getting your air conditioning unit serviced and cleaned at least once a year.

In the heat of the summer, it’s easy to assume that bigger is better when it comes to air conditioning (AC) systems. Obviously, if you have an air conditioner that’s too small in your Kenner home, you will not be able to keep your temperatures consistently low even if the unit is running constantly.

For some air conditioners, our Precise Comfort and Climate Specialists professionals recommend it. For others, we might not. Take a minute to read a little more about the process and give one of our experienced team members a call here in New Orleans, LA, to discuss if this might be right for you and your home.
