Prepare Your AC For Scorching Middle TN Temps

Have you walked outside the last few days? I don't know about you, but I sure don't enjoy 3-digit temperatures! Along with these crazy high temperatures come crazy high electric bills. I just got mine - $321. Yep. If you're like me, I'm trying to cut EVERY cost possible. Starting with making sure my AC unit is maintained and running smoothly!

There are a few things you can do to get your AC units in tip-top shape:

Clean your filter. A dirty or clogged filter can cause a lot of unneeded problems. If the filter's dirty, it restricts the air flow which cuts down on the capacity of the system.

Clean your AC condenser coil. You want to make sure that it's clean otherwise you could get a backup and a leak situation, especially if the unit is in your attic! No good!

Get a good tune up. Have a certified technician from The Tedder Company come check all of your systems; the refrigerant side and the electrical side.

It is crucial to taking appropriate measures now to avoid an air conditioning emergency this summer!

New Ductile Air Conditioners

If you're one of those people who doesn't think about ordering firewood until October, or cleaning out your gutters until the first snowfall is actually upon us, well, warm weather is now here and it's time to think about that new air-conditioning system you meant to order all winter and spring....

If you live in an older home and are eager to abandon your creaky window units and install central air, until recently, that meant spending tens of thousands of dollars to retrofit your home with new ducts for air conditioning. Even after all of that, the ducts are often ugly and fit poorly in a graceful old home with lots of wood and stone. In older homes, duct work can be very challenging! 

But now there are new ductless units — for cooling and heating —that don't need to be used in windows. Instead they are mounted on a wall or possibly recessed in a ceiling.

You may have already seen these new ductless units in restaurants and commercial spaces. For homeowners, these ductless units are good for additions and great rooms, along with homes that don't have any existing ductwork. The ductless units can also go on your roof. They may be a good option for condo and coop owners, too.

Going Ductless

Your typical unit is about 2 to 3 feet long by 10 inches high, and they stick out from the wall about 8 inches. 

How do they work? Tubing connects an indoor wall unit to an outdoor compressor that's shaped sort of like a briefcase. Along with being much quieter than other compressors, they're super-efficient; much more efficient that central air conditioning.

Heating and air conditioning your home account for 43 percent of your monthly utility bill, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, so any increase in energy efficiency can add up to big savings.

Most experts recommend that you have an annual service contract for big air conditioning units and heating systems.The Tedder Company in Middle Tennessee's premiere HVAC company.
