Your Thermostat Could Be the Source of Your Problem

Monday, August 1st, 2022

Have you ever tried to have a conversation with your air conditioner? Sometimes in the summer heat, people can be compelled to do some pretty wacky things, so we wouldn’t blame you! But the truth is that your air conditioner doesn’t really have the interface to communicate with people. It can’t really hear you, it can’t see you, and it definitely doesn’t have a place where you can type a message out for it. It’s just a big machine that’s meant to cool space–that’s it.

However, your thermostat can communicate with you. It’s sort of the translator between you and your air conditioner. So, it’s not entirely uncommon when investigating an AC repair in Lake Mary, FL to uncover an issue that’s sourced at the thermostat.

Are you convinced that your air conditioner isn’t working and you’re trying to locate the source of the problem? Then we’d like to talk about why it might be coming from your thermostat!

Is Refrigerant Dangerous?

Monday, March 14th, 2022

One of the first questions we get from homeowners about their ACs refrigerant leak is whether or not it’s dangerous to have in your home. Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat, refrigerant leaks are not the same as gas leaks from a furnace. The two materials are very different and being near one is not like being near the other.

Gas leaks are flammable, and usually if gas is leaking from a furnace, chances are likely that other fumes like carbon monoxide are leaking as well. With a refrigerant leak, the only thing that’s leaking is refrigerant, which is neither flammable nor fatal. However, refrigerant is not a good thing to inhale and it can cause problems for you in more ways than one.

If you’re nervous about a refrigerant leak, or you’re unsure that you have a leak in your home, be sure to call our team for AC repair or to schedule air conditioning maintenance in Apopka, FL.
