Questions and Answers
My AC isn't cooling my Columbia home on a hot day. What's the most likely cause?
In our Columbia climate, the most common causes are refrigerant leaks, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, or a failing compressor. The intense summer heat puts extra strain on systems. We recommend scheduling a diagnostic visit so our technicians can pinpoint the issue and get your cool air flowing again quickly.
How can I prevent mold from growing in my HVAC ducts in humid Columbia?
Columbia's humidity is a primary culprit. The best prevention is controlling moisture. Ensure your AC system is properly sized and maintained to effectively remove humidity from the air. We also recommend professional duct cleaning to remove existing spores and installing a UV light system or a whole-home dehumidifier to actively inhibit mold growth within your HVAC system.
What HVAC maintenance do you recommend specifically for Columbia homeowners?
Given our hot, humid weather, we emphasize bi-annual maintenance. A spring tune-up focuses on the AC, checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, and ensuring optimal dehumidification. A fall check prepares your heating system. This proactive approach is key to preventing breakdowns during peak seasons, improving efficiency, and extending the life of your equipment against local conditions.
