Winter HVAC Prep Checklist

November 6th, 2023

People prepare for the winter season differently. Perhaps you and your family take the time to set up decorations and shoot photos for a card that you send out to your friends and family. Or maybe you take the time to bundle up and watch your favorite movies and TV shows. That’s the beauty of the winter, the cold outside makes the warm and cozy inside of your home seem that much more enticing.

But many homeowners don’t exactly have a plan to prepare their HVAC systems for the winter. Your heater is one of the important things you rely on in order to live your life comfortable. If something were to happen to your heating system, or if your heating bills were to increase, it might affect your home comfort and your winter traditions. We can’t let that happen!

Is a Radiant Heating System Right for Me?

October 23rd, 2023

There are two main types of heating systems that we service in the Haddon Heights, Tavistock, and Cherry Hill areas: forced air and radiant.

Forced-air heating systems are the most common but not always the best choice for homeowners. These include things like furnaces, heat pumps, and anything that actually heats the air inside of a house. Radiant heating systems are different, focusing on using either electrical lines or hot water to radiate heat through the walls and floors of a home, heating objects in space as well as the air.

Radiant heating is a great type of heating that’s still used today, but in order to figure out if it’s right for you and your home, we’ll need to go over some things. Our team can get you set up with radiant heating service in Camden County, NJ if that’s the right choice for you and your family.

The Importance of Furnace Tune-Ups

September 25th, 2023

Are any of our readers into cars? If so, then you probably don’t need a team of HVAC technicians to tell you how important an oil change or a tune-up is for your beloved vehicle. Maintenance and inspections are important aspects of owning machines that we depend on, and your heating technology is no different.

Furnaces are unlike other systems where an inspection focuses only on efficiency and power. Furnaces require an inspection during maintenance, since they’re actually performing combustion when other heating appliances are just using electricity. This is important because it can help you and your family rest easy knowing that your furnace isn’t leaking gas or carbon monoxide.

For today, let’s just talk about the importance of a furnace tune-up in Cape May County. Customers in Avalon, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, and practically everywhere else in our area will benefit from this kind of service in one way or another.

The Difference Between a Good and Bad AC

September 11th, 2023

At this point, you’ve likely had a lot of quality time with your air conditioner. The amount of heatwaves, high humidity warnings, and just generally high temperatures we’ve endured this year is record-breaking. Our air conditioners have been functioning non-stop for weeks at a time, so you might have gotten used to some of the sounds and little quirks that your system has.

There’s nothing wrong with an air conditioner that has a few quirks, right? As long as it pumps cool air into your home, it’s probably fine.

This sentiment can get you into some trouble though, if you’re not careful. Below, we’ll go over some ways that you can identify a good air conditioner or a bad one. If you think your AC is in the second category, be sure to schedule AC repair in Camden County. Our team can be out to Haddon Heights, Tavistock, Cherry Hill, and beyond!

5 Reasons to Consider a Smart Thermostat

August 14th, 2023

Are you on the fence when it comes to replacing your thermostat? That old analog system from the ‘70s or the outdated digital one from the turn of the millennia might be starting to annoy you.

And you know what? That makes sense! Thermostats are supposed to be precise in the way that they control your HVAC system and monitor the temperature. Older and outdated thermostat systems just don’t work as well as new ones, and you might be noticing that in the ambient temperature of your home.

For customers in Northfield, Hammonton, and even Folsom, a thermostat upgrade can be a big deal for home comfort, and we’ll explain why. Just remember to schedule an appointment with our team for a smart thermostat in Camden County. We can perform this upgrade effectively, quickly, and ensure that you get the thermostat that works for you and your family.

AC Installations in Older Homes: Our Guide

July 17th, 2023

You’ve found one of our more “intermediate” blogs where we cover a topic that not many homeowners are familiar with. Older homes are everywhere in our neck of the woods, and some of them are much older than others. This makes things tricky for HVAC professionals, because older homes aren’t necessarily spacious enough or designed to have an AC installation in Camden County.

This is true for practically every neighborhood, from Haddon Heights, to Tavistock, and even throughout Cherry Hill, old 18th and 19th century homes stand tall with new owners that would like to set them up with air conditioning units. However, AC can’t blast from a radiator attached to the wall, so sometimes things need to be changed or retrofitted in order to fit this kind of system.

Don’t worry, we’ll cover all the ins and outs of this kind of work. AC installation is complex depending on the kind of home you have, but it doesn’t have to be if you hire a professional like the ones on our team.

Ambient’s Guide to HVAC Rebates

July 3rd, 2023

In the age of energy-efficient air conditioners and climate-centered legislation, you’re going to be hearing a lot about rebates. A rebate is similar to something like a tax credit—they’re easy ways that customers can get cash back in their wallets after purchasing an expensive AC system.

Rebates are great because they might be the difference between you purchasing a cheaper air conditioner in Wenonah, Glassboro, or Swedesboro, and purchasing a more high-efficiency, high-tech system that can last longer. The second option, although more expensive, is a better option for you, the power grid, and the environment.

So, let’s focus on HVAC rebates in New Jersey to start. We’ll talk about why they’re so useful, how you can approach them in the most productive way, and some guidelines to help you navigate them.

3 Reasons Your HVAC System Runs Too Often

June 19th, 2023

We want you to imagine something for a second. If you were to stand up from your chair, bend over, and sit back down, that’s probably just some healthy exercise, right? Well, what if you got up, bent over, and sat down every few minutes for the entire day. That’s starting to sound like a difficult task, right? Repetition is good exercise, but too much can be a strain on the body and do damage to our joints and muscles.

Why are we bringing this up? Well, it’s important to think of your air conditioning system in a similar way. It’s good at turning on and cooling the air in your home. But the more it runs, the more stress it’s undergoing and you could end up damaging it in the process. Programs like HVAC maintenance in Atlantic County are designed to alleviate this kind of stress.

So, if you’re a homeowner in Longport, Margate City, or Somers Point, listen up! This is an issue that we need customers to be aware of.
