Is your thermostat in the right place?
If your thermostat isn’t properly placed you may have pockets of hot and cold air in your home or business.
For example, a thermostat next to the kitchen and laundry room will pick up the heat generated by ovens and clothes dryers. The thermostat won’t realize the temperature may be quite different in other rooms.
Don’t make this HVAC mistake
Some people like to run the air conditioner all the time when they are in a hotel so they can revel in chill air.
But that’s a bad move, especially if you are doing this at home and paying the energy bill.
If your outdoor unit can’t stop running…
Here’s the situation: Your thermostat is at the temperature you want. The air stops blowing and the indoor unit shuts off.
All is fine, but the outside unit keeps running rather than shutting off. What’s wrong?

In gas furnaces, control board is the brain
Power surges, dirt, age and water are threats to the control board that is the quarterback of your gas furnace.
New refrigerant is more eco-friendly
A new refrigerant will replace R-410a, which can harm the environment if it leaks from an air-conditioning system. R-410 also contributes to global warming. The change is effective Jan. 2, 2023.
HVAC coils, fins rusting? It’s a dog-going problem
The coil and fins on your outside HVAC unit can withstand weather, but not frequent visits from a dog.
Urine from dogs contains acid that eats away at these important parts. Repeated doses of urine will corrode the fins and coils, which will hurt your unit’s efficiency and can ultimately shut it down.
Ventilation works best with busy fans
Two of your best friends for ventilation are the fans in your bathroom and kitchen. Fans bring fresher, cleaner air at little cost.
Don’t be reluctant to use them often.
