Extend the Life of Your Heater

While many of us in South Florida won't be cranking up the heat any time soon, we at the Miami air conditioning experts like to cover all bases regarding your home a/c unit. And who knows? Temps could continue to drop over the next few months calling for the need to tap the heat up in your home or office.

Like all electronics and machinery, your air unit requires maintenance. Ever turn on the heat and smell a distinct and disgusting burning smell? That's your heat zapping all the dust bunnies that have formed on it in the past months. Gross, right?! Properly cleaning and dusting these ducts will prevent this smell, and also help to clear out any dirt, dust or debris that may hinder the efficient flow of air into your home.

Check wiring to make sure everything is in proper working order. A loose wire or a gap to the outdoors will not only invite critters inside--but it will also allow your paid-for air (hot or cold) to escape back outside. Then you're right back where you started! Insulation and sealing is a vital and important function of a healthy air unit.
