Different Types of Air Conditioners in Atlanta, GA!

As the weather gets hotter many of us in Atlanta, GA are beginning to think about our air conditioners. An air conditioner is a vital piece of equipment in the hot Atlanta, GA summers, both for one’s comfort and, in some situations, health. If you own a home in Atlanta, GA then the type of air conditioning unit(s) you choose can also be an investment in your home’s value. There are many different air conditioning options to choose from. Below are a few of the most popular air conditioning units that people use. Unitary air conditioning systems Window air conditioners and portable air conditioners are considered unitary air conditioning systems because they contain all the refrigeration parts in one box. Window air conditioners can be placed in the window or in a hole in the wall. These units can be quite noisy and inefficient. It is important to use an energy efficient air conditioner to keep your power bills down. The same is true for portable air conditioners. They are similar to window air conditioners and can be very noisy, except they are ground units that have a hose running out an exterior wall or window. These are often used in rooms that are not being reached by central air conditioning. A properly chosen and installed central air conditioning unit should reach all the rooms. At Fulton Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling we have trained experts who can help you with a problem room or air conditioning system.

Atlanta, GA! It’s time to check your air conditioners!

If you ever rented a home or apartment, you’ll remember those monthly notices about checking the air filters. Some complexes check more frequently than others, but this is an important part of keeping your HVAC unit running efficiently all summer long. We all enjoy that cool feeling of walking into our homes after a day in the sun. In order to ensure this feeling lasts, even on the hottest days of summer, there are a few things you can do for the air conditioning system in your Atlanta, GA home or business. First, if you haven’t already, consider investing in a programmable thermostat. These thermostats can be set at a higher temperature during the day but it can lower at a certain time to be cool by the time you get home. Also, they can help reduce energy bills because they keep the unit from running during the day. To maximize your energy efficiency, you can also schedule a home or business examination to determine if any of your windows or seals leak. These leaks decrease your energy efficiency and increase your energy bills. Trained technicians from Fulton can help determine the efficiency of your home or office, and recommend a plan to maximize that efficiency. There are also checks you can perform before turning your air conditioning unit on. Try to examine these items at least 1-2 months before summer begins. As time passes and summer gets hotter, technicians often receive urgent calls from customers needing immediate assistance because their units are not working. Checking early can detect problems and ensure their resolution before things really heat up....
