Sensible Condo Comfort

Monday, September 25th, 2023

Condos are a bit different from houses when it comes to heating or cooling them. Sure, they can feel very similar to owning a house, and in many respects they are similar, but there can be some strict regulations and codes to follow. For instance, condos tend to be smaller than single-family homes, and they tend to have small outdoor space for things like AC condenser units.

But condos still need to be heated and cooled just like any other home, and this can be done with many of the same systems we’d install for other residences. Even though there might be subtle differences in terms of condo HVAC in Centralia, WA, we can still work with owners to ensure things are done properly.

Let’s have a conversation about installing HVAC systems in condos, and some of the main things to be concerned about.

The Bad AC Vs. The Good AC

Monday, September 11th, 2023

Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to lump things into categories like “good” and “bad.” Especially when it comes to products, things are usually part of a scale that can be measured.

Today, we’d like to compare two air conditioning systems. One is “good” and the other is “bad.” These might seem like arbitrary labels, but we promise that as we explain the differences between the two, you’ll understand what makes a good air conditioner different from a bad one.

The good news is that everyone can make their AC units part of the good group. It just takes some effort and the help of a professional to perform AC repair in Centralia, WA.
