Know your air conditioners’ SEER number in Atlanta, GA!

The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of your Atlanta, GA air conditioner is basically the efficiency number. It is sort of like the milers-per-gallon number of your car. It is calculated by taking the cooling output and dividing it by the electric input during normal seasonal use. The higher the number…the more efficiently your unit is running. The more efficient your unit is running, the more money you are saving. When choosing a central air conditioner unit this is a very important number. If you choose a unit with a high SEER you can save hundreds, even thousands, of dollars during the life of the air conditioner. Atrained technician from Fulton can help you find the right air conditioning unit with the highest SEER number that will fit your budget and home. As it stands all central air conditioners are required to have a SEER of at least 13. Energy Star central air conditioners start at a SEER of 14. Units that use geo-thermal or ductless units can have extremely high SEER numbers, as high as 75. The higher the number, the more efficient the unit. However, the higher the number the more complex the machine, and therefore the more expensive the upfront costs will be. Window unit are not required to have a SEER of 13 and can still be found as low as 10. This is one of the things you will want to investigate when purchasing a window unit if you go this route. The more maintained your air conditioning unit the higher the SEER will remain. But if you allow the air conditioner filter to...

Leaving town? Don’t leave the plumbing in your Atlanta, Georgia home

If you are planning to leave your Atlanta, Georgia home for an extended period of time during the colder winter months, or if you have a vacant property, it is important that you take some reasonable measures to protect the plumbing in your home. Frozen pipes are not unheard of in Atlanta, Georgia. And as the weather continues to surprise us, freezing temperatures are becoming more common. There are some simple steps you should take toprevent your pipes from freezing so that when you return you won’t come home-sweet-home to a not- so- sweet surprise. How do pipes freeze? When water reaches temperatures of 32°F or below it freezes. When water freezes it expands. When water freezes inside a pipe it pushes against the wall of the pipe with some pretty impressive force. If the pipe is weak then the pipe or the pipe seals can leak, fracture, break, or burst. If there is a continued supply of water to the pipe it can dump hundreds of gallons of water in as little as an hour. Imagine coming home to that disaster and water bill! The average insurance claim for water damage from a pipe burst is 15,000 dollars. A frozen pipe in Atlanta, Georgia may seem like a bad punch line to a joke, but is isn’t funny when it happens to you. How to prevent your pipes from freezing when you leave home When you are going to leave home for an extended period of time during the winter months, more specifically January and February, make sure you leave your thermostat set no lower than 55 degrees.
