Monday, December 24th, 2018

air-ventHere in California, you depend on both your air conditioner and heater to keep you comfortable year round. Summers around here can be brutally hot, while our winters can be quite chilly.

clean-air-filterWell, it is chilly outside. The heater seems to be running decently. Nothing to see here, no problems on the horizon. 

Wait just a second!

Why an AC Might Blow Warm Air

Monday, August 20th, 2018

neglected-condenserOne of the reasons why air conditioning problems sometimes do serious damage to those systems is because homeowners don’t always recognize the fact that there is a problem to begin with. This is due to the fact that many such problems are quite subtle, and you may not notice them as being problems right away. That’s why you should always act promptly when you do start to suspect that there is a problem of some kind with your air conditioner in Madera, CA.
