Troubleshooting Central Air Conditioner Problems
From the State Fair, to one of the remaining Twins (or St. Paul Saints) home stands, Minnesotans are busy soaking in the final sultry days and nights of summer.
And, after a long day at work or play, returning home to a cool, dry house is a refreshing as a dip in the lake. Conversely, coming home to a noisy – or worse, completely silent – air conditioner is as frustrating as the ‘Closed’ sign staked outside my favorite beach at Nokomis.
Three Air Conditioner Maintenance Tips Ensuring Twin Cities’ Summer Survival
Summer heat and humidity is no longer set to arrive in the Twin Cities, it’s officially here. And with summer heat and humidity, a properly working central air conditioning system is a necessity to keep your home cool, dry, and comfortable.
Below, we’ve provided three tips to ensure your central air conditioner remains in full-working order throughout the season:
1. Provide good air flow to outdoor equipment. In our spring central air conditioner checklist, we suggested trimming shrubbery to increase accessibility to your unit. During the summer, it’s important to ensure leaves and debris are kept clear of your unit on a regular basis. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides and 5 feet on the top.

Can An Air Cleaner Improve Your Family’s Health This Winter?
During cold and flu season and throughout the year, families in the Twin Cities are exposed to viruses that circulate in the air they breathe indoors, so taking measures to prevent illness makes good sense. Getting a flu shot, eliminating germs on surfaces, washing hands, and covering your mouth and nose are all important steps to avoid getting colds and the flu. But many people are still susceptible to the viruses in the air they breathe at home.
Helpful Hints for Troubleshooting Gas Furnace Problems
Winter is in high gear throughout the Twin Cities. The last thing Minnesota residents need is an ineffective furnace. Gas furnace problems are not only annoying, but potentially dangerous as well.
Make sure your gas furnace keeps your family warm and comfortable all winter long by following our advice below for troubleshooting gas furnace problems:
Problem: My home furnace isn’t producing enough heat.
Solution: Unfortunately, this problem is a common one, especially considering the heat necessary to stay warm in negative temperatures. It might be a matter of a dirty air filter that needs to be replaced. Or, your gas burner could be dirty or needing adjustment. In that case, contact a heating expert to adjust the burners.
Is Your Home’s Gas Furnace Efficient?
High home heating bills – they’re an unfortunate but common reality for Minneapolis residents each winter.
With a rise in natural gas costs playing the role of the villain, an inefficient gas furnace is a worthy collaborator, costing some homeowners as much as 40% in additional heating costs. With older furnaces, heat can be wasted through the exhaust. This makes the furnace itself warm, but leaves it unable to produce usable heat.
But just how do you know if it’s time to replace your current unit with a new, more energy-efficient gas furnace?
Eliminate Indoor Dry Air This Winter with a Whole-Home Humidifier
Keep your family comfy and cozy this winter with a whole-home humidifier.
With winter fast approaching, it’s only a matter of time before homeowners and renters in Minneapolis, and throughout Minnesota, start to crank up their furnaces to escape the dropping temperatures outdoors.
While furnaces provide much-needed warmth, they can also lead to severe indoor dry air – causing irritation and discomfort for family members and potentially damaging your home.
The solution? Whole-home humidifiers, which return moisture to the heated air to increase comfort levels and protect a home’s finishes.
