Heating & Air Safety for your Home

Summer heat can be dangerous. Staying cool during those hot summer months is important for the safety of your beloved family and pets. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the number one protection against heat-related illness and death is air-conditioning.

Using your air-conditioning system is a great precaution however, you must stay current on the maintenance of your unit. Without proper maintenance you could be at higher risk. Your air-conditioner, working properly, will ensure dependable cooling for your family and give you the best overall value long term.

Your safety is important to us.
Safe Tips from American Air Conditioning & Heating:

Be sure to understand how much power it takes to run the specific unit you have. The electrical outlet it is plugged into must have the necessary energy to power the system correctly.

Electrical units can be altered so that they meet the proper power requirements. This must be done by a professional, it is not safe to attempt an alteration on our own. Call American Air Conditioning & Heating, quality service open seven days a week.

Do not ever run electrical cords for any heating or cooling unit underneath a carpet. This could result in house fires and is extremely dangerous.

For each area of your house, make sure you have the proper sized air conditioning unit. Different sized rooms require different systems.
For example:

A 10 x 12 room should have a 5,000 Btu/hr unit.
A 20 x 20 room should have a 10,000 Btu/hr unit.
A home that is 1,200sq feet then the unit should be 23,000 Btu/hr.

During the spring have your air conditioner cleaned and inspected by a qualified American Air Conditioning & Heating technician.

It is important to have the right cord for your unit. If you do need an extension cord make sure to do this quick check. Look for the UL mark on the cord, this means that it has been tested for safety hazards.

Stay safe this summer and call American Air Conditioning & Heating for all your Air needs. We guarantee on time service!

Write us anytime on our Facebook page we'd be happy to answer your questions! Here are just a few questions that we have received recently:

Tip 1: From @AmericanAC_Heat
Which is more efficient:

Leaving the fan on my Air Conditioner 'on' all the time or
Setting the AC to 'auto' that turns it off an on accordingly?

Leaving the setting to 'on' all the time will cost more money. It does however, mix the air better and helps to maintain a more even temperature in the room.

Quick Tip: Turn on your ceiling fan. This will create a similar effect for less money.

Tip 2: From @AmericanAC_Heat
What setting on my thermostat will give me the best value?

79 is the recommended setting when you are home.
85 is the recommended setting when you are away.

Every degree above 80 that you set your thermostat you are saving 2-3 percent on the cooling portion of your bill. What it comes down to is the value you place on being comfortable?

Quick Tip: You can feel up to five degrees cooler by using a ceiling fan because of the wind chill effect.

Tip 3: From @AmericanAC_Heat
What is the best time of year to have my cooling system inspected?

Spring! Now is the time because it is before the start of the super hot weather aka 'cooling season'.

Quick Tip: If your system is ever making noise or not working properly do not use it and have it check immediately.
