Air Conditioning Talk by Always Air

What is your furnace’s biggest enemy?

Dirt is the biggest enemy of your furnace. It can waste fuel and drastically lower efficiency. Dirt affects all three basic components of your furnace, so cleaning is the most important part of regular maintenance. The three parts of the furnace should be cleaned: the filter system, the blower, and the motor.  The furnace filter should be replaced or cleaned at the beginning of the heating season and about once a month during periods of continuous use.

To check the filter, take it out and hold it up to the light. If it looks clogged, replace it with a new filter of the same type and size regardless of the length of time it has been used.   A disposable furnace filter consists of a fiber mesh in a cardboard frame. The size of the filter is printed on the edge of the frame. An arrow on the edge of the frame indicates the correct direction of airflow through the filter. Air flows from the return-air duct toward the blower, so the arrow on the filter should point away from the return-air duct and toward the blower. 

Here at Always Air we have a program to help you. We call it preventive maintnence.  This is where Always Air will come out and clean your furnace and make sure it is running correctly.  In the spring, we will come back and clean your air conditioner for no additional charge. While we are cleaning of your heating and air conditioning system, Always Air will also change you air filters for you. 

Customers who sign up for preventative maintenance will also receive 10% off all parts through out the year and have priority on all service calls.   If you have not had your furnace serviced this year, please give Always Air a call at 481-1622 and we will take care of all your heating and air conditioning  needs in the Tulsa area.

What is SEER?

I’m sure you’ve heard all the talk about air conditoner efficiency.  Air conditioner efficiency is rated by Seasonal Energy Efficiency rating or SEER.  SEER ratings are really quite simple.  SEER  is to air conditioning as fuel efficiency is to cars.  Simply put, the higher the SEER, the more efficient the air conditioner. 

In 2006 congress mandated minimm efficiency standards for central air conditioners.  13 SEER is the minimum allowed by law today.  SEER ratings range from 13 to 20 seer, with 20 being the best.  For more informaiton on energy efficiency, contact Always Air at 481-1622.  Don’t forget our free Trane furnace promotion which ends Feb. 28th. Its hard to stop a trane, and its hard to beat Always Air!
