If you’re planning a last-minute getaway before summer ends, don’t forget to deal with your thermostat. If your home is going to be empty while you are away, you don’t need to maintain your regular temperature settings. Adjusting your thermostat settings can reduce your energy consumption and save you money while you’re having fun in the sun.
In Florida, our A/C systems work overtime a large part of the year. Eventually, even the most reliable air conditioner needs to be replaced. If you’re in that situation, or you think you will be in the near future, you’ll need to keep some factors in mind as you look for a new system.
How much air conditioning does your Florida home need?
If you’re finding yourself sweating through the hot and muggy Englewood summers, then you’re probably in need of a good HVAC contractor. If you’re like many Florida residents, you may need heating for your pool, ventilation throughout your house, plus air conditioning–and that’s just to survive the month of July! Symbiont Service Corp. not only offers expert service in these areas, but offers design, installation, maintenance, and emergency services as well.
UV lights can play an important role in your defense against low indoor air quality and the health problems caused by continuous exposure to the pollutants and impurities that lurk in indoor air. Dust mites, pet dander, secondhand smoke, bacteria, viruses and dangerous gases like radon and carbon monoxide can all cause health problems, and UV lights are excellent at helping you remove some of these problems.
If you’re a homeowner, you’ve likely shopped around for the best prices on HVAC service. You may have gotten quotes from several different contractors and based your decision on the prices they listed. While quoted prices are a good factor to consider when evaluating HVAC services, there are many other criteria that you should also be reviewing to determine the true “price” of your HVAC service quote.
