Do your ducts seem to be raining water? First off, we do want to mention that water isn’t used in any part of the cooling process, and if any part of your air conditioner seems to be “leaking water” this is not the case. But what is happening is that there is excess moisture from humidity–something we’re all too familiar with here in Mooresville and the surrounding areas–and that moisture causes condensation to form.
When it does so on your HVAC air ducts, this is known as duct sweating, or in some cases “raining ducts.”
At this point, you might be thinking, “Phew, so it’s not a problem!”
That’s where you are wrong, unfortunately. Excess moisture–humidity–can cause a host of problems, from property damage to unhealthy mold growth. This is true no matter where your ductwork is located and is especially problematic in basements and crawlspace. But, how and why does this condensation occur, and what can be done about it? Read on!
Let’s say you’re sitting in your living room, trying to enjoy the comfort of your air conditioner, but it keeps switching on and off in rapid succession. Not only is this an annoying sound, but it’ll make you wonder if something is wrong with your air conditioner as it struggles to keep you cool. And we have some news–something is wrong with your air conditioner.
Over the years, as a natural result of wear and tear, you’re going to deal with AC repair needs. Particularly since our air conditioners work so hard in this climate. You’ll likely find yourself needing motor bearings lubricated, fan belts replaced, and maybe even refrigerant and ductwork leaks repairs. Fortunately, though, these are pretty simple fixes, and you’re less likely to run into a problem if you stay on top of your routine AC maintenance, too.
The last thing any homeowner wants to do on a hot summer day is turn on their air conditioner and discover that there’s a problem. See, your air conditioner is incredibly important to you and your family’s comfort, so if there’s a problem, you are going to want it taken care of right away!
It’s still pretty chilly outside, so of course, you are dependent on your furnace for warmth and comfort. But, what happens when your furnace is no longer capable of keeping up with your household heating demands? A replacement might just be the answer.
If we told you that you can combine two of the most efficient heating systems on the market today for even better efficiency and even greater comfort, would you believe us? Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, believe it! A dual fuel system combines the power of a gas furnace with the versatility of a heat pump to give you a heating experience like none other!
While you got your fill of tricks and treats over the weekend, we are hoping that you’ve still got room for one more (a treat, that is!) 
Now that summer is officially here, you want to enjoy it as much as possible—and for some of you, that means out with the old and in with the new! It’s time to trade in that popped pool raft for a brand new floatie, to get rid of that tanning oil for some SPF 75, and oh, of course, upgrade your thermostat!
You rely on your air conditioner all summer long to keep your home cool and comfortable. However, your air conditioner would render completely useless without your ductwork system. Your ductwork is responsible for carrying conditioned air to every space in your home. Therefore, it is important that your ducts receive the same amount of attention as your AC. If you have an issue with your ductwork, don’t let it be ignored: schedule your repairs ASAP.
