Don’t Wait too Long to Get Your Air Conditioning Checked.

I think we have all done it. The car makes a noise, the water heater is not pouring out hot water like it used to, our home’s air conditioning unit is making funny sounds. It all adds up to one thing…we have been limping along hoping that the problem will go away. This is the time to call air conditioning specialist Altitude Heating and Air of Colorado Springs.

When should you be proactive?

1.  When there is a rattling or banging coming from your a/c unit.

2.  Sometimes the coolant produces an annoying hissing sound.

3.  There is an increased humming sound emanating from the unit.

4.  Maybe worst of all…a high pitched squealing.

The sounds of summer in Colorado Springs should NOT include any of these! At the first sign of noises coming from your home’s air conditioning unit call Altitude Heating and Air, serving Colorado Springs’ heating and air conditioning needs. No matter what time of day, call this phone number (719) 209-4955 and visit altitudehvacco.com.

Time to Put the A/C to Bed for the Season.

You may still need to have your air conditioning system running for a tiny bit longer since the fall can sometimes pull out surprise heat waves. But soon enough, you’ll look at the upcoming weather forecast, see the low temperatures, and know that the cold weather is here to stay… at least until next spring.

Here are some tips for prepping your Colorado Springs’ home air conditioning for winter –

1.  Simply start by shutting off your a/c.

2.  Clean the condenser unit thoroughly.

3.  Give it several hours to dry with a cover over it.

4.  Schedule off-season maintenance service for the unit.

If that sounds like a chore, please call us. We are the home and business air conditioning and heating experts in the Colorado Springs area. Do you want to make sure your a/c system runs at its best next spring?  Call us at (719) 209-4955. Our name is Altitude Heating and Air. You will find us on the web at altitudehvacco.com.

Ahhh…That Feels Better.

Very soon now (if not already) you will reach for your Colorado Spring’s home’s thermostat.  You will want a cool, comfortable flow of fresh air when you turn on the air conditioning.  If you do not receive the desired affect you know that you will want your home’s a/c fixed YESTERDAY!

Here are 4 things YOU can do before cranking up the a/c –

1.  Check your air filter…it is likely that your furnace shares the same filter.

2.  Clear the outdoor unit of leaves, dirt, sticks, etc.

3.  Make sure you changed the setting from heat to cool…you’d be surprised.

4.  Schedule yearly maintenance for your a/c unit.

That last one is a given if you expect high performance throughout another Colorado Springs summer.  The air conditioning professionals in our area are located at Altitude Heating and Air.  For your home’s heating and air conditioning needs always think first of Altitude Heating and Air.  Just call (719) 209-4955.

Central Air Conditioning.

Here are some choices –

1.  Split systems…the most common type in the U.S.

2.  Heat pumps…they are a variation of the traditional split system.
