Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Replace Your Old Air Conditioner

Posted on by Reidy Heating & Cooling

couple on sofa enjoying ACIf you’ve been limping through the summer with an air conditioner that just can’t keep up anymore, you may be considering replacing your system but aren’t sure if it’s the right time.

You might be surprised to learn that, as the hot days start to ease up a bit and fall peeks around the corner, it’s actually one of the best times of year to think about replacing that old AC system with something new.

Let’s talk about why upgrading your AC system now might be the smartest move you make all year. Keep reading to learn more!

How Old Is Too Old?

Most central air conditioners have a lifespan of around 12 to 15 years, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, depending on how well they’ve been maintained. If yours is getting up there in age, you might already be noticing the signs:

  • It struggles to keep your home cool, especially on the hottest days
  • It’s noisy or cycles on and off constantly
  • You’ve had to call for repairs more than once in the past year
  • Your energy bills seem to keep creeping up

Older systems also often use outdated refrigerants, some of which are no longer being produced. That makes repairs more expensive, and in some cases, impossible. So, if your unit is aging and acting up, it’s not just about comfort; it’s about staying ahead of bigger headaches (and costs) down the road.

Today’s Systems Are Built for Efficiency

Air conditioning technology has come a long way in the past decade. Modern systems are designed to use significantly less energy than their older counterparts, which means lower utility bills and less strain on the environment.

Many of today’s systems also feature variable-speed compressors and smart thermostats that can fine-tune your comfort and operate more quietly and efficiently than ever before. You don’t have to blast your AC to get results, as these systems adapt to your needs in real time.

Even the rating system has been updated. You might notice SEER2 ratings replacing the old SEER numbers. SEER2 takes into account more real-world testing conditions, giving you a better sense of how a system will actually perform in your home.

Better Comfort… and Better Air Quality, Too

Newer systems don’t just cool better. They can also make the air in your home feel better.  That’s because they’re better at managing humidity levels, which can make a huge difference on those sticky summer days.

You’ll also enjoy cleaner indoor air. Many modern systems include options for improved filtration, UV lights, or air purifiers built right in. So, if allergies, asthma, or general dustiness have been bugging your household, an upgrade can help with that too.

Peace of Mind, All Season Long

Let’s face it: no one wants to come home after a long day to a hot house and an air conditioner that’s quit. When you install a new system, you’re buying yourself peace of mind. Not only are breakdowns far less likely, but most new systems come with excellent warranties to keep everything running smoothly for years to come.

Why Late Summer and Early Fall Are Ideal

You might be thinking, “Why now? Why not wait until next year?” Here’s the thing: late summer is actually one of the smartest times to replace your system. Here’s why:

  • HVAC companies tend to have more open scheduling (after the midsummer rush)
  • You’ll be ready before next summer rolls around
  • You can take your time researching and choosing the right system for your home
  • You may be able to take advantage of limited-time incentives or energy rebates

Plus, if your system is on its last legs, waiting could mean risking a breakdown at the worst possible time. Planning ahead gives you control, on your schedule and your terms.

Air Conditioning 101: What Types of AC Systems Can I Choose From?

Posted on by Reidy Heating & Cooling

family enjoying summer homeIf you’ve been considering installing a new air conditioning system in your home, you may find that there is a lot of information out there now. It can be hard to weed through it all, and that makes it difficult to choose the best system for your home.

At Reidy Heating & Cooling, Inc., we like to make it as easy as possible for our customers to learn about today’s HVAC products and help them choose the right ones for their home and comfort needs. In this article, we’ll tell you about three different types of air conditioning systems, and how Reidy can assist you. Keep reading to learn more!

3 Types of Air Conditioning Systems

Today, there are different types of air conditioning systems available, each with their own benefits. Below, learn more about the air conditioning systems we install for our customers:

  • Traditional Central Air Conditioning: This type of air conditioning system is the most common. With an indoor and an outdoor component, central air uses the home’s ductwork system to move cooled air throughout the home. Modern central air conditioning systems are much more energy efficient than their earlier counterparts, with some systems achieving SEER ratings of nearly 26.
  • Ductless Air Conditioning: Unlike central air conditioning systems, ductless systems do not require ductwork to keep your home cool. Instead, one unit is installed in a room or zone, with indoor and outdoor units connected by a small diameter tube. Whether you need cooling in just one room or throughout your home, ductless is an option, as they are available in single or multiple units. Ductless tends to be very energy efficient, as many models use heat pumps to operate, and many models can also provide heating during the colder months.
  • Heat Pump Systems: Heat pumps are considered the most efficient means of home cooling available on the market today. They don’t use fossil fuel to operate, instead transferring heat from the air in your home to the air or ground outside. And, like ductless systems, a heat pump can be reversed during the winter to extract heat from the outdoor air or earth and pump it into your home. A traditional heat pump system uses your existing ductwork to move cooled or heated air throughout your home.

The best type of system for your home depends on your home’s structure, your lifestyle needs, and your budget. To determine the most effective AC system for your home, it’s always a good idea to talk to a qualified air conditioning contractor, like Reidy Heating & Cooling, Inc.

Why Choose Seasonal AC Maintenance?

Posted on by Reidy Heating & Cooling

Technician performing air conditioning maintenanceNow that the spring season has arrived, most people are starting to think about warmer days ahead. And while it might not be time for air conditioning quite yet, the temperature outside will warm up before you know it, and you’ll want that cool comfort to be readily available. That’s why choosing air conditioning maintenance for your system is important.

You may find yourself wondering if it’s really necessary to get air conditioning maintenance each year and if there are any real benefits to doing so. In this article, we’ll explain how maintenance helps your system perform at its best, and how Reidy Heating & Cooling can help. Learn more below!

The Benefits of AC Maintenance

Having an air conditioning system that’s working properly helps homeowners stay nice and cool when the temperatures start to rise. Keeping your system properly maintained can help the cool air flow freely, so you and your family won’t have to worry about a hot, sticky, uncomfortable home. Here are a few benefits regular AC maintenance can provide:

  • Improved Home Comfort: When your AC system has not been properly maintained, it can become sluggish. As a result, your home may have uneven cooling, or may not be as cool as you’d like. Getting regular maintenance ensures that your system will be clean, and all parts will be in good condition, making it much easier for your AC to keep your home cool.
  • Better Energy Efficiency: As your air conditioning system ages, it can lose some of its original efficiency. That’s even more true for systems that have not been well-maintained over the years. Annual maintenance can help it operate as efficiently as possible, which can help you save on energy costs.
  • Fewer Costly Repairs: When your air conditioning system is checked regularly, it’s much more likely that small problems will be found before they turn into larger repairs (or worst-case scenario, replacement.) Unfortunately, unchecked systems often end up completely breaking down, leaving you without cooling – and with expensive repairs.
  • Better Air Quality: A poorly maintained system is often a dirty system. That’s because dirt, dust, and other particles can accumulate in your AC system, and then are distributed throughout your indoor air whenever the air conditioner runs. During maintenance, your technician will clean your system, allowing for fresher indoor air for you and your family.
  • Warranty: If you check your air conditioning system’s warranty, you may discover that regular maintenance by a qualified professional is necessary to keep the warranty in place. Failure to do so may result in your warranty being voided, and that can mean expensive, out-of-pocket costs should your system need repair or replacement.

Air conditioning maintenance not only helps keep your home more comfortable, but it also helps you save money on energy bills and repairs. Fortunately, getting the seasonal maintenance your AC system needs is as easy as giving Reidy Heating & Cooling a call.

Reidy offers professional air conditioning maintenance and more.

When you count on Reidy for the air conditioning maintenance your system needs, you can rely on our professional technicians to help. And, we also offer convenient maintenance plans that provide cooling and heating maintenance, as well as discounts on labor and materials, and no overtime charges.

What Choices Do I Have for Home Air Conditioning?

Posted on by Reidy Heating & Cooling

couple on laptop enjoying comfort of homeDuring the summer months, people often enjoy fun in the great outdoors. There are so many things to do once the weather turns warm, from relaxing at the beach or pool to enjoying an outdoor barbecue with friends and family. Many people also like to be able to seek refuge from the heat in a cool, comfortable air-conditioned home. If you’ve been thinking about replacing an old air conditioning system, or newly installing AC in your home, you have options.

Today, virtually any homeowner can get air conditioning for their home that is both effective and energy efficient. Modern systems not only cool using less energy than their older counterparts; there are also numerous configurations available that can make any home a comfortable haven away from the summer heat. In this article, we’ll describe the three main types of air conditioning systems and tell you what types of situations in which each works best. Keep reading to learn more!

Three Types of Air Conditioning Systems

Most people know that air conditioning provides cool comfort, but it can also be beneficial in other ways. For instance, most air conditioning systems help to cut down on the humidity in your home, helping to eliminate moisture concerns and keeping you and your family from that clammy feeling that often accompanies humid days. It can also help to improve your indoor air quality by filtering out dust, dander, and other particulates. Below, we’ll talk about the three types of systems Reidy Heating & Cooling, Inc. installs, so you can get a better idea which would be best for your home.

  1. Central Air Conditioning: When people think about air conditioning, they most often think of traditional central air conditioning systems. This type of air conditioning system is best for homes that have a forced-air heating system, such as a furnace. Using the same ductwork as your furnace system, a central air conditioning system moves cool air throughout your entire home. This type of AC is very durable, and modern systems are both more energy efficient and use a more environmentally-friendly type of refrigerant than older systems. So, if you have an existing central air conditioning system you’re thinking about replacing, or if your home has ductwork, central air may likely be your best option.
  2. Ductless Air Conditioning Systems: More and more people are turning to ductless AC as a way to keep their homes cool in the summer weather. Unlike a central air conditioning system, which uses a home’s ductwork, a ductless system is comprised of individual units installed in various rooms or zones around your home, without the need for ductwork. That makes these systems ideal for homes that rely on radiant types of heat, such as electric baseboard or boiler heating systems. Because they don’t require ductwork, they can also replace window AC, which can be loud, inefficient, and can obstruct your view. As an added bonus, ductless systems that provide heating during the winter are also available, making them an ideal choice when it comes time to replace an older baseboard heating system.
  3. Heat Pump Systems: Many people don’t know that a heat pump system not only provides heating during the winter, but also air conditioning in the summer. Heat pump systems are available in both ductless and ducted configurations, and are built for durability. Modern heat pump systems have been engineered to provide heating even in colder climates, making them a good replacement for an older, less-efficient HVAC system. Heat pumps are also environmentally sound, using less energy than traditional AC systems. And that can translate to lower utility bills in the long run.

I’m still not sure which type of AC system would be best for my home. Can Reidy help?

At Reidy Heating & Cooling, your home comfort is our number one priority. We want to make sure your air conditioning system is the best choice for your home, your family, and your lifestyle. That’s why we work with you to make sure that the system you choose is the right one.

Does my Air Conditioner need Maintenance?

Posted on by Reidy Heating & Cooling

Why Get Maintenance for the AC System in Your Northampton Home?

Nothing is better than relaxing in a cool house on a sweltering day. You and your family rely on the air conditioning system in your Northampton home to help you weather those soaring temperatures. It works hard for you, keeping your home a cool haven from the summer heat. So you owe it to your AC to give it the TLC it deserves, by choosing annual maintenance to keep it running properly.

Annual maintenance is one of the single best ways you can ensure that your cooling system will operate at its best efficiency and will last for years to come. At Reidy Heating & Cooling, our skilled technicians can give your system the loving care it needs, so you won’t have to worry about replacing the air conditioner in your Northampton home for a long time. But what happens to an AC system that causes it to require maintenance, anyway?

Maintaining your Northampton home’s air conditioning system is important for these five reasons.

The cooling system in your Northampton home can get dirty over time. Buildup in the system can cause problems with a number of components, but when you get maintenance for your system, you won’t have to worry about it! That’s because maintenance helps take care of those issues, which helps your system run more effectively and efficiently. Here are some of the ways AC maintenance can benefit your system:

• Keeping condensate drains clog-free. Over time, condensate drains in your system can accumulate dirt and debris. That can cause inefficiency, and too much humidity in your home. When you get preventive maintenance, your technician will check the drain for clogs, and clear them if there’s a buildup.

• Straightening out fins. The evaporator and condenser coils in an AC system have aluminum fins, which, unfortunately, can bend easily. That obstructs the airflow in your system, making it work harder. Using a special tool, your tech will straighten the fins back out, helping the air flow freely once more.

• Replacing dirty filters. It seems hard to believe that something as simple as an air filter can keep your system running better, but it’s true. When you regularly replace the dirty, gunky filters in your AC system with fresh, clean ones, the air will flow freely, letting your system operate more easily and efficiently.

• Maintaining your warranty. Most people don’t read all the fine print when it comes to manufacturer warranties. But with home cooling equipment, the manufacturer often requires routine maintenance in order to keep the warranty intact – and that can save you money down the road if your system needs costly repairs.

• Keeping coils clean. Your air conditioning system can collect a buildup of dirt and debris over time, and like it’s important to change your filters, it’s also important to keep the coils clean. Annual maintenance ensures your technician will check your coils on a yearly basis, and clean them as is necessary.

Get the cooling maintenance you need for your Northampton home by calling Reidy.

Call Reidy Heating & Cooling to help when you need air conditioner maintenance for your Northampton home. Our expert technicians will provide you with the maintenance you need to keep your system running properly and efficiently. And, we’re also pleased to offer the best air conditioning installation and repair too. No matter what your cooling needs, you can trust Reidy to help.

How Do I Know If I Need AC Repair In My West Springfield Home?

It’s the hottest day of the year, but you’re not feeling comfortable in your West Springfield home. Your air conditioning system is running, but it’s not doing a great job of keeping your house cool. You know you need some sort of relief, but you’re not sure whether you should call in a professional or not. You may be wondering what the next step is – and that’s where Reidy Heating & Cooling comes in.

At Reidy, we can help you get your AC system back up and running promptly. Our technicians specialize in cooling repair, maintenance and installation, and they can help remedy the problem so you’ll be enjoying cool comfort in no time. But how can you be sure it’s time to call for repair services? We’ve provided some signs that your AC is failing below.

If you have any of these concerns in your West Springfield home, you could need cooling repair.

• Noisy AC System: If your air conditioning system is noisier than usual, there could be a problem. Any high-pitched squeals or grinding noises should be addressed right away – turn off your air conditioner and call a professional as soon as possible.

• High Utility Bills: If your AC system seems to be using more energy than normal, it means it’s working harder than usual. Have you added any space to your home? Has your system received the maintenance it needs? High utility bills can signal a problem, so contact your HVAC dealer for a system check-up.

• Inadequate Cooling: If you’re noticing that certain rooms aren’t as cool as others, or if the airflow in your system isn’t delivering the cooled air throughout your West Springfield home like it should, get your system checked out. Luckily, it can be as simple as a dirty filter that needs replacing.

• Humidity Problems: If your AC system is delivering air that’s too damp throughout your home, it indicates something is going on with your equipment. When air conditioning works properly, it pulls the moisture out of the air. And, over time, air that’s too humid in your home can cause mold, mildew and moisture damage.

• Older AC System: If your cooling system has been breaking down a lot lately, and your system is more than 10 years old, it could be time to consider an air conditioning replacement for your West Springfield home. Often, it becomes more cost effective to replace and old system rather than continue to repair it.

Rely on Reidy for air conditioning services for your West Springfield home.

Our expert technicians will troubleshoot your system, and get you the repair services you need promptly so you and your family can get back to cool comfort right away.

What Type of Air Conditioning is Best for Your Chicopee Home?

If you’re considering replacing the AC system in your Chicopee home, you might want to do some research before you buy. Today, there are many types of air conditioning systems available, all suited to different types of homes. Often, people don’t give much thought to their air conditioning, but it helps to have a better understanding of what will work for you before you call your home comfort specialist.

Whether you’re building a house from the ground up, have a forced-air system in your home, need to cool a home without ductwork, or simply want to replace the old air conditioning system in your Chicopee home with something more efficient, you’ll find that there are a number of ways you can keep your home cool – and save on your utility bills in the process.

Three Ways You Can Cool Down Your Chicopee Home This Summer

At Reidy Heating & Cooling, we proudly provide a number of solutions for people who want to replace an old AC system or install air conditioning in their Chicopee home. All of the equipment we install is high quality and offers improved energy efficiency. And, our technicians are trained to offer the best possible service, so you can count on a job well done. Read below to learn more about the types of cooling systems we can provide:

  1. Central Air Conditioning: If you have forced air heat in your Chicopee home, or existing ductwork, central air conditioning is a great option for you. Generally, central air uses the air handler in your furnace to distribute cooled air throughout your home, allowing all the spaces that are heated in the winter to also be cooled in the summer. Today’s central air conditioning systems are highly efficient, so replacing your old central AC can often save you in cooling costs. And, modern units use a form of refrigerant that’s more efficient and doesn’t harm the ozone layer, reducing your carbon footprint.
  2. Ductless Cooling: If you have radiant or baseboard heat, or have a space in your home where ductwork installation is either impractical or impossible, you may want to consider the benefits of ductless cooling. Ductless systems offer targets cooling to your home, and are a great option for areas like additions, finished basements, or converted attics or garages. Additionally, ductless is quiet, extremely energy-efficient, and made to be mounted on the wall or ceiling, allowing it to blend in with virtually any décor. As an added benefit, many ductless systems also can provide heat in the winter – providing year-round comfort in your home.
  3. Heat Pumps: If you’re considering an update to both the heating and cooling systems in your home, you might want to consider a heat pump system. Heat pumps offer both heating and cooling, all in one efficient unit. One of the main benefits of a heat pump is that it offers amazing energy efficiency, which helps you save on your utility bills in the long run. And, with today’s advanced technology, heat pumps are able to perform well even in the colder temperatures we often experience in Chicopee, so you can count on your system running even in chilly weather.

Why Choose a Professional to Install Air Conditioning?

Posted on by Reidy Heating & Cooling

Reidy Heating & Cooling offers Professional AC Installation In Your Holyoke, MA Home

With numerous how-to television shows and websites out there, people all throughout Holyoke are choosing to tackle home improvement projects on their own nowadays. From wallpapering and painting, to more complex projects like installing new countertops and flooring, do-it-yourselfers everywhere are making changes to their homes without hiring a professional. Should cutting costs and installing AC yourself be one of those DIY changes?

While some projects can be accomplished after watching a few tutorials or reading some books and articles, there are some home improvements that really do require an expert. Installing a cooling system in your Holyoke home is definitely one of them. There are several reasons why you should consult a professional like Reidy Heating & Cooling when it comes to your home comfort system.

Five Reasons You Need an HVAC Pro When Installing Cooling in Your Holyoke Home

For many people, the reason they choose to tackle projects on their own is to save some money. And while that works with some areas, HVAC isn’t one. Some worry about the cost of installing air conditioning, but it can be far more expensive in the long run to install AC improperly. Your home’s cooling system is pretty complex, and one that requires professional service. Here are a few reasons why hiring a pro is to your benefit:

  1. Air conditioners are mechanical equipment. AC units have motors, fans, blades, electrical components and intricate wiring. To fully understand what’s required to properly service them, advanced training is required. Reputable air conditioning technicians have generally attended trade school, receive ongoing training, and serve apprenticeships before being considered masters at their craft.
  2. Your home’s HVAC system is complex. A lot goes into the proper function of the comfort system in your Holyoke home. In our region, people rely on both heating and cooling to stay comfortable, and most people have systems that work somewhat in tandem. Making sure that your entire HVAC system is working in harmony isn’t simple, which is why you need a professional to keep it operating properly.
  3. Home comfort professionals are specially trained. As mentioned above, home comfort technicians are educated in the field of HVAC and understand the inner workings of your equipment, much like your mechanic knows your vehicle. Most technicians are continually learning more, as technology advances and new equipment types enter the market. Many are also factory-trained on the brands their company installs.
  4. Sizing of your system is important. You might not be aware of this – many people aren’t – but generally speaking, air conditioners are not a one-size-fits-all type of equipment. Every home is unique, as are the needs of the people living in it. Sizing your equipment properly is important, because it helps the equipment last longer and offers better energy efficiency.
  5. Cooling equipment requires ongoing service. The air conditioning system in your Holyoke home isn’t just “set it and forget it.” In order to ensure that it works properly now and for years to come, and provides you with the best energy efficiency possible, getting yearly maintenance from a professional is necessary. (Hint: many equipment manufacturers require annual service in order to keep your warranty intact, too.)

Why Do I Need Air Conditioning? The Benefits of Maintaining a Climate-Controlled Holyoke, MA Home with AC

Posted on by Reidy Heating & Cooling

At Reidy, we know a thing or two about the importance of regulated temperatures and air quality, and we want to make sure every customer knows why they should invest in an air conditioning solution. Sometimes, people ask us this question. Do you need A/C to survive in the summer? Not exactly, but air conditioning provides a number of benefits that many homeowners overlook when considering the investment.

The most important issue is humidity. Holyoke gets hot, and the air gets humid. Proper air conditioning keeps your home regulated, and fights humidity concerns that affect not only your belongings and your home itself, but also your family’s health and wellbeing.

Do you have expensive electronic devices? Maybe you even enjoy nice artwork such as pottery or paintings. You might have wooden cabinets or moldings in your home. Air conditioning is absolutely necessary to ensuring that those belongings are protected. There’s a reason that museums and electronics retailers keep such a close eye on the thermostat and humidity levels – excess humidity causes damage to the products. A good A/C unit will help to protect the things you’ve already spent your hard-earned money on.

More than 25 million people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with asthma. That’s not even counting the number of people who have other, everyday breathing difficulties. Keep your family healthy with clean air, and use an air conditioning system. By minimizing the humidity levels in your home through A/C, you are minimizing the number of mold spores, allergens, and dusty, dirty air particles that live in your home.

Extreme temperature changes are also bad for your immune system. In the hot Holyoke summers, A/C is incredibly important. Sweating or discomfort is your body’s way of telling you that it needs to cool down – listen to it! An air conditioner will keep your home at the right temperature, all day.

At Reidy Heating & Cooling, we want you to be informed. We want you to know that the right air conditioner or air conditioning solution is a worthwhile investment for every homeowner, because it has the ability to extend the life of your belongings and help to keep your family healthy and comfortable.

Reidy Heating & Cooling is based in Holyoke, Massachusetts and serves surrounding areas including Chicopee, Southampton, Easthampton, and South Hadley. You can trust our certified A/C technicians to provide the highest quality air conditioning service or installation.

What do you do when you need A/C repair?
