Central air is one of the most effective and efficient ways to circulate cool air throughout the house in comparison to window air conditioning systems. Central air conditioners offer one major benefit that individual window units cannot claim: these systems can improve your indoor air quality.
Centralized units send cool air directly through air ducts or vents located in each room. Each room can be cooled instead of cooling just one room. Ambient air is pulled into the air handler unit from each room through return-air ducts. The system filters the air that passes through it, removing airborne particles, like lint, allergens, dust, pollen and pet dander. Filtered air is then re-routed back to the rooms via a separate ductwork system. These systems can even trap the most microscopic pollutants. Having constantly clean and cool air is a major benefit with central air conditioners.
But the advantages don’t end there. The following are other advantages that central air conditioners have over window air conditioning systems.
- Central air conditioners make less noise. The condenser, fan and compressor are located in an outdoor unit, instead of in a nearby window. Indoor noise is barely detectable.
- Since the working parts of a central air conditioner are located outside of the home, it is inconspicuous and does not affect the view from outside or within the home.
- The central air system does not take up any inside space and keeps the home looking modern and updated.
- Central air conditioners are easy to operate. Whether there is a single zone or multiple zones, the system is conveniently controlled by a simple console that can be programmed to run at certain times and temperatures.
- It is possible for specialized central air conditioners to operate in a reversed cycle (aka – heat pump, to not only cool air, but also pump out hot air. The same central air system can heat and cool the home in one user-friendly unit.
The upfront costs of central air conditioners may be intimidating, but in the end, the payoff is worth the expense. As a major bonus, central air conditioners add value to the home, which means when it comes to resale, a central air system will be a huge selling feature.

With summer just around the corner here are a few signs that might indicate that you should be considering air conditioner replacement.
- You find yourself in need of constant air conditioner repairs that are getting progressively more expensive.
- You are experiencing temperature inconsistencies throughout various rooms in your home.
- Your AC unit is aging. Air conditioners are not designed to last for more than 10-12 years.
- Quite simply, you are ready to say goodbye to lugging the old air conditioning units in and out of the windows throughout your house.
When looking to replace your air conditioning unit(s), you might want to consider going with a ductless air conditioning system. Here are some reasons why a ductless system might be the route to take.
- Easy Installation: These systems can often be installed in a few days.
- Convenient: They don’t take up much space and are very quiet to run.
- Easy to Operate: Many ductless air conditioners are controlled by a remote, which allows you to easily increase or lower the temperature.
- Cost-Effective- This system uses less power than traditional air conditioners, so you can expect to save money on your energy bill.

We visited a home last week to help with a preventative maintenance inspection on a Buderus GB-142 boiler. In the process, we discovered that the vent adapter had failed. What this means is that the adapter was leaking carbon monoxide into the house without the homeowners realizing this was happening. (See picture of Tom with the failed adapter). We replaced the adapter and the homeowners are now safe and happy.
All manufactures of heating appliances, recommend having your units checked yearly to make sure everything is up to par, and most importantly, your family is safe.

The guys used florescent dye introduced into the A/C system to find a leak on the indoor coil.
You can’t miss the leak!
