Is It Too Late for AC Maintenance?

August 7th, 2023

The short answer is no, but we know that customers reading this blog want more than just a simple yes or no. Maintenance can be one of those costs where it’s hard to parse out the benefits, especially if you’re only thinking about the short term.

But it’s becoming increasingly clear that the constant heatwaves and record-breaking weather means our air conditioners need to be kept in great shape consistently. And AC maintenance in Sapulpa, OK will do just that.

Maintenance is more complicated than a simple repair or a new system installation. It’s less about targeting a problem with your air conditioner or setting up new technology, and more about evaluating the overall performance of the system.

We check the efficiency, comfort level, and even how tightly wound all of the screws are to ensure there is as little movement or give as possible. Learn more below about how maintenance can be a smart move–even late in the season!

Our Tips for Getting Through a Heatwave

July 24th, 2023

Heatwaves used to be a “once in a while” kind of occurrence. Now, they’re practically every weekend and causing us to make last-minute changes in our plans. It’s frustrating, but it’s a reality of our time in the 21st century. So, what do we do about it?

First things first, we need to be safe and energy efficient. By staying comfortable, hydrated, and secure in your home, a heatwave won’t be so hard on you or your family. Then, the next main priority is ensuring that you minimize the amount of electrical energy you require to power your fans and AC so that the power grid doesn’t get overloaded. This will also ensure that you don’t pay exorbitant electrical prices at the end of the month.

Don’t worry, we’ll go over all of these proposals and more. Just make sure you get your AC repair in Sapulpa, OK from us–the Wizard of Blizzard!

What Your Thermostat Setting Says About You

July 10th, 2023

Every single air conditioner is going to work differently. Sure, they’re all designed in factories to look and function the same, but they’re controlled by humans with different preferences and lifestyles. This means that your air conditioner is likely going to work a lot differently than your neighbor’s air conditioning system, and you might have some unique problems that nobody aside from a licensed professional can help you with.

So, let’s discuss the elephant in the room before we get into the specifics. We’re talking about your thermostat, the little device that communicates between you and your air conditioner. It’s going to be the difference between an air conditioner that’s stressed out and running in long cycles, and one that’s in perfect shape.

Everyone sets their thermostats differently, but there are some general guidelines we’d like to discuss. And if you’re at all frustrated with the functionality of your cooling, be sure to call our team for AC repair in Sapulpa, OK.

Everything to Know About Geothermal HVAC

June 26th, 2023

Out of all the HVAC systems available, from ductless systems to central air conditioners, geothermal systems just sound the coolest, right? It’s no coincidence!

Geothermal technology has been around for a while but it’s just now reaching its stride. The gist behind it, as we’ll get into further below, is centered on the fact that the temperature just beneath the earth’s crust is extremely mild. If you were to dig down a hundred feet or so, the temperature would be a mild 50 degrees all year round, no matter where you lived.

That means you’ve got access to cool, comfortable temperatures right beneath your very property. A geothermal system in Sapulpa, OK is just designed to bring those temperatures to where you can feel them. So, as we explain how this technology works, we hope some potential customers out there decide to call us and evaluate this as a viable option.

3 AC Issues to Be Weary Of

June 12th, 2023

Air conditioners are complex machines. This means that their problems aren’t one-dimensional. Usually, an air conditioner that runs into a problem needs to be properly diagnosed by a professional because the source of the problem can be complicated. For instance, an air conditioner can make a strange noise or give off a foul odor, and both of those are different problems with their own processes for repairs.

So, what are we getting at here? This all sounds like helpful information but what’s the point?

Well, we’d like to give you an example of 3 specific AC issues that are at different ends of the service spectrum. One of them is a strange noise, another is a foul odor, and the last is an odd cycling time. Each of these problems is wildly different, but all of them require professional AC repair in Sapulpa, OK.

Our Helpful Refrigerant FAQ

May 29th, 2023

What exactly is refrigerant? How does a refrigerant recharge work? What happens if you constantly need to recharge the refrigerant in your air conditioner?

These are all great questions, but we can’t just answer them in one word, or even one paragraph. We’re really going to have to discuss these in greater detail. Refrigerant is a core aspect of cooling (and in the case of heat pumps–heating), and in order to know how your air conditioner functions, you’ll need a crash course in refrigerant.

Today, we’re going to talk about refrigerant–what it is and why it’s so important for a cooling system. We’ll hopefully answer all of your budding questions. And, if you think your AC needs a refrigerant recharge or a professional diagnosis, contact our team for AC repair in Sapulpa, OK.
