Do you give any thought to your central air conditioning before you switch it on that first hot day of the year? Most likely you assume that it will work just fine, as it did the year before. With this type of thinking, you are putting your own comfort at risk. Without any maintenance, your air conditioner is at a higher risk of breaking down. It will also lose efficiency each year that it goes without cleaning and repair. Be prepared for warm weather this year with AC maintenance in Eden.

AC Maintenance in Eden saves you money

One of the reasons you may forgo regular maintenance for your air conditioner is the cost. In actuality, maintenance plans with most HVAC companies are quite affordable. And they are certainly less expensive than most typical repairs that are required when air conditioners break down. You will also save money on your electric bill with a well-maintained system because it will run more efficiently, using less energy.

What does AC maintenance entail?

An air conditioning technician will come to your home to inspect, clean, and repair your central air conditioning. Most have a checklist they follow to make sure they cover every part of your AC and make sure nothing is overlooked.

• Inspection. The technician will start by inspecting all of the parts of your AC. He will be looking for signs of wear and tear, indicating parts that need to be replaced. He will notice dirt and dust build-up and determine what kind of cleaning is necessary. And he will check electrical wiring and connections to make sure everything is working properly and safely.
• Cleaning. The technician will give your AC a thorough cleaning, especially the evaporator coil where dirt and dust tend to build up and impede efficiency. Filters will be replaced with new, clean ones. The indoor and outdoor unit will be cleaned and restored to like-new condition.
• Repair. Any parts that did show signs of wear during the inspection will be repaired or replaced. Electrical wiring is replaced if worn and reconnected if necessary to ensure safe and correct electrical connections. Moving parts are lubricated to prevent wear from abnormal friction.

When the tune-up is complete, your cooling system will be running efficiently and be ready to cool your home during the warm weather season. You can expect top performance and fewer break downs (most likely none) leading to AC repair in Eden.

If you use propane as an energy source in your home, you will need to refill your tank on a regular basis. Unlike natural gas where your home is connected to the gas lines underground providing you with a constant supply, your propane tank will eventually require a refill. Propane can be used for heat, for cooking appliances, even water heaters and clothing driers. The amount of propane you use will determine what size of tank you need and how often it will need to be refilled. When it comes to propane delivery in Eden, getting on a regularly scheduled delivery plan with your local provider has plenty of benefits.

1. Saves you money. Propane prices rise and fall at different times of the year and from year to year. Prices can be drastically different depending on the time you happen to need a refill. By entering into an “autofill” propane delivery and payment plan with your local supplier, you can get a discounted price and schedule for refills. You can plan your budget accordingly without the surprise of the propane price roller coaster.
2. Prevents running out. Did you know that problems can occur due to an empty propane tank, besides just the fact that your furnace and appliances won’t work? A completely empty tank is susceptible to excess air and moisture that can cause the inside to rust, compromising the condition of the tank. It can also be a disaster to run out of propane and have to wait for a delivery to have a warm home and working appliances. With a delivery contract, refills are planned accordingly to ensure you never run out of propane.
3. Convenient. Regularly scheduled propane delivery in Eden means never having to remember to call for refills. It means avoiding the hassle of finding a supplier and scheduling a time that you can be home to receive a delivery.
4. Can include furnace and air conditioning maintenance. When your propane supplier is also an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) company, you can combine your propane delivery with regular HVAC maintenance, which should be performed yearly or twice a year. By bundling these services you will save money on both.

When the weather gets warm and you start to use your air conditioner regularly, you may find that it is not in the same condition it was in at the end of the cooling season last year. It is common for your AC to be a little out of tune at the start of the season if no maintenance has been performed on it. Here are some common problems with AC in Burlington, NC, and how to handle them.

1. AC won’t turn on. There could be different causes for this problem. First, make sure your thermostat is on, set to cool, and set to a desired temperature that is lower than the current room temperature. Be sure your air conditioner has power. If not, look for a tripped circuit breaker. Check the filters for excess dust buildup. If all seems right but your system still won’t come on, call your HVAC company.
2. System makes unusual noises. If you hear strange noises that you’ve never heard from your system, or louder than usual sounds, it may be due to loose, bent, or worn-out parts. Turn your system off and call a heating and cooling technician.
3. Leaking water. If there is water leaking from your air conditioner, you may have a condensate drain blockage. Condensation forms when warm air is cooled and should be drained out through a tube. A blockage or disconnected tube can result in water leakage. If you feel comfortable checking and fixing this on your own, do so. If not, call an AC repair technician for help.
4. Home doesn’t feel cool enough. One of the most common problems with AC in Burlington, NC, is insufficient cooling. Your system may run continuously or stop without ever reaching the desired indoor temperature. The fix for this may be as simple as replacing dirty filters to improve airflow. But if that doesn’t do it, the problem may be more serious such as low refrigerant due to a leak. That is definitely a problem for an HVAC company to handle.
5. Energy bills are higher than last year or even last month. If it seems like your energy bills are unusually high, it may be due to your air conditioner. Compare your bills from each month during the cooling season and with the previous year. Barring a significant heatwave; if your electric bill is getting higher, it may indicate a problem with your system. Have a technician come out and give you an AC tune up in Burlington before you do anything else. A tune-up from an experienced technician can save you the headache of a costly air conditioning replacement.

In the transportation business, or any company that manages a fleet of vehicles, fuel is one of the most important considerations. A commercial fueling company can take care of your fueling needs with a simple delivery. Having fuel brought directly to your business can be convenient, as long as you have a reliable supplier. There are many benefits to commercial fleet fueling in Greensboro.

• Convenience. You can’t beat the convenience of having fuel brought directly to your vehicles. It saves your drivers extra trips to the pump and eliminates the need for onsite fuel tanks. Using one fuel supplier for all of your fueling needs means a lot less work for everyone.
• Saves money. When you have one fuel supplier, you benefit from the competitive fuel prices they offer. A supplier has to remain competitive with other fuel companies in order to keep your business. Fuel brought directly to your fleet means you save the fuel and mileage that would be necessary to travel to the pump.
• Saves time. Imagine the amount of time that could be saved if all vehicles were fueled and ready to go at the start of the work day. When you have fuel delivered, that can be a reality for your business. With your trucks fueled and ready to go, your drivers can start their shifts on time and be more productive throughout the day.

Choosing a Fleet Fueling Supplier

Whether you are choosing a company to supply fleet fueling in Greensboro for the first time, or if you are looking to switch, there are some things you should take into consideration.
Experience. Look for a fuel company that has plenty of experience. With experience comes knowledge, reliability, and quality. You want a company that knows what they are doing, delivers on time, and provides quality fuel.
Good reputation. A fuel company should have a solid client base and a good reputation. Fuel is too important to gamble on a company that may or may not provide quality fuel and reliable service.
Delivery. For your convenience, choose a company that delivers. You save a lot of time and money by having fuel brought to your trucks rather than the trucks going to the fuel station.
