When you live in an area such as ours, you know how important it is to have an efficiently working air conditioner during the summer. As this warm season quickly approaches, it’s time to consider if your central air conditioning system needs a little help making your indoor environment as comfortable as possible.
One setback of using central AC is that it delivers cooling to your entire living space without exception. This means unoccupied rooms in your home receive wasted, conditioned air. Central cooling systems can be pretty wasteful if you can’t control the rooms that receive conditioned air. The good new is that you can, with a zone control system. Continue reading
Indiana homeowners know all too well that when summer hits, the heat and humidity is nothing to contend with, especially without a properly functioning air conditioner. If you are considering replacing an old and outdated air conditioner, it’s best to do it now before the heat really kicks in.

We’ve delved a little deeper into SEER ratings below Continue reading

One of the biggest advantages of having a ductless cooling system—also referred to as a ductless mini-split—installed rather than a traditional central system is that you don’t have to worry about ducts. There are many smaller and/or older homes that lack ductwork all together. Installing ducts can be a pain, as it is both expensive and inconvenient.
However, ductless systems give you the versatility that a ducted system cannot. Convenient installation is only one benefit of these units. We’ve listed a few more great benefits below that could sway you towards choosing ductless for your next home comfort installation. Continue reading
Many homeowners assume that they can just buy any power strip and that they will be protected from an electrical surge. However, a power strip and a surge protector are actually two different things.
