How often should you maintain your air conditioning unit?
It is very important for you to make sure that your AC unit receives regular maintenance. Regular AC maintenance will help your unit avoid early breakdowns and will greatly extend its life. The best benefit to regular maintenance is that it will also help you save money on your energy bill. In fact, AC maintenance can help improve energy efficiency by 15 percent. We recommend yearly maintenance to our clients.
What is the typical lifespan of an air conditioning unit?
Investing in an AC unit is a serious decision, and depending on the model selected it can make a serious dent in your wallet. Because of how expensive a commitment like this can be, youโll want to make sure that youโre making the right decision.
The average lifespan of an AC unit ranges from 10 to 17 years. In addition to making sure that your unit receives regular maintenance, you should also make sure that itโs the right size; this way it will never have to overwork in order to cool your home. Youโll also want to make sure that the ducts are sealed.
What is the importance of regularly changing your air conditioning unit's air filter?
Having your furnace or air handler's filter replaced regularly is one of the things that you will need to do to keep your air conditioning unit functioning properly. Your air conditioner unit will use more energy if the furnace or air handler filter is dirty, meaning your energy bill is going to begin to rise.
However, replacing your dirty filter can help improve energy efficiency by up to 15 percent. Additionally, the performance of the AC unit will steadily begin to decrease if the filter is not replaced on a regular basis.

Thinking of installing a ductless mini split air conditioner?
A ductless mini split AC is a system that has one outdoor unit and at least one indoor unit. Many people are choosing to switch to ductless mini split AC instead of window AC unit(s) because it has been shown to help save money on electric bills.
The average family can very easily spend over $1,000 per year on electricity running window AC units. However, a ductless mini split AC can help families save 30 percent or more. A ductless system also allows you to have better control of the temperature.

FINISHING WATER HEATER INSTALL
From the first call to B and D to the end was a completely satisfied customer. A service tech came out diagnosed my problem gave me multiple choices including repairing the 16 year old equipment I had which were 2 A/C units along with two air handlers. I was only gong to do 1 unit but asked him if I could get a little discount if I did both. He answered every question I asked him in a professional manner, listened to my concerns and helped me understand everything that was going on. The solution became even better when he came back with the bid and did discount the second unit. It gets even better from here Kent who was the lead installer came out with two young gentleman and after seeing their work especially Kentโs I was so impressed I asked Kent to take a look at my house heating and cooling needs. My house s also 16 years old and Kent was very honest in saying I probably had some more time on my furnace and A/C but pointed out a few things in the units that were concerning. I asked since I spent quite a bit of money on our commercial building could they give a good price on my house and they did. After seeing the work Kent and his helpers did at my building I had already decided I wasnโt going to wait for my old equipment to break down and went ahead with a new furnace and A/C at my house. They were very careful as not to dirty the house by using drop cloths cleaning up meticulously after the job. I was totally impressed with them and again especially Kent the lead installer. He is an old fashion craftsman who cares about his work in fact both at my business and my house the work was done better than the builder I had build my commercial building and personal residence. I would recommend B and D to anyone wether it was for a service call or installation.
