We are all aware of the dangers of poor air quality and the pollutants we inhale as a result of outside emissions. Meanwhile, it’s a fact that that indoor air is 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air because of the way buildings are constructed and sealed! Due to the fact that there is often a tight seal for energy efficiency and climate control, the same polluted air is recirculated throughout your home ad nauseum, especially without proper air conditioning maintenance . Despite the fact that pollutants are present, their concentrations can differ from one room to the next. Here the Air Check Mechanical Service team is here to tell you about the pollutants that are hiding in your home, as well as where you can look for them.

Air Conditioner Frozen Even in a warm climate like Texas, air conditioners can and do become clogged with ice and condensation. Obviously, ice on an air conditioner is always a sign that something is wrong. Certainly, we at Air Check Mechanical Service have been known to give customers the opportunity to create an “ice cold” air conditioned environment, but ice on the AC itself is a big no-no.

Vibrations and normal wear and tear can cause refrigerant leaks over time. This reduces the efficiency of your air conditioning system and increases the likelihood of the air conditioner freezing. One of the r...

Heat pumps offer a number of benefits over a typical air conditioner installation , including a reduction in the amount of carbon emissions produced and an increase in the level of safety.

Heat pumps, in comparison to other types of heating systems, have lower operating costs in the first place because they do not require the use of a consumable fuel in order to function properly (like a furnace does). At your home, it is possible to completely remove carbon dioxide emissions from the heating and cooling equation, which will have a beneficial effect on the surrounding environment. Because they do not require the use of natural gas, fuel oil, or propane, heat pumps are an excellent option for use in residential renovations as well as in locations that are geographically is...
