Barry's Heating and Air Conditioning updated their business hours.

It is officially fall now... so whats up with this weather??
on a side note, who's ready to get their heaters serviced/repaired?

Fall weather is approaching quickly and we couldn't be happier, is your home prepared?? contact us today to make sure you and your family are ready for the fall and winter months. It's better to go ahead make sure your heating units are working now before you need them.

on this day we remember those who were taken from us and those who sacrificed their lives to help. We will NEVER forget. Do you remember where you were when the towers fell?

Lets talk about Heating and Air Conditioning equipment, no matter what kind you have, it should be inspected, cleaned, and serviced at the very LEAST once a year. The best scenario is to have the heating system checked in the Fall and the air conditioning checked in the Spring. When was the last time your systems were looked at? Can you even remember? Give us a call to schedule an appointment today.

Give us a call if you need to get your air conditioning fixed! Or for those getting a head start for Fall and Winter give us a call to get your heat pump replaced or for anything else heat & A/C related .

Although we use our air conditioners often, it’s likely many of us don’t know much about the system at a mechanical level. How do all the pieces work together to seamlessly provide us with cool air whenever we want? Without a little research, the system remains a mystery.

While we’re not going to explain how air conditioners work here, there are a few things that a homeowner should know in order to best care for their cooling system and ensure high efficiency and a long lifespan. In this blog we list the top 5 things you didn’t know you needed to know about your air conditioner.

What You Don’t Know About Air Conditioning
1. Dirty Filters Kill Airflow and Efficiency
Air filter aren’t just about air quality—they are about airflow and efficiency as well. During months of heavy use, an air conditioner’s filter needs to be replaced monthly in order to keep the unit functioning properly. When a filter becomes dirty, the system has to work harder to provide the same level of comfort. This overexertion will show in your utility bills. Why pay more for worse performance? You can stop your bills from rising and your system from clogging by changing the filter monthly or as needed. Check for the filter’s minimum efficiency reporting value, commonly called the MERV rating. The higher the rating, 1 to 12, the better filtration it provides. Once you get to MERV 14 and higher, however, you might need a professional modification to account for the larger filter size

2. Regular Maintenance is Crucial
Do you remember the last time a professional stopped by to inspect and clean your air conditioning system? Bi-annual maintenance for HVAC system is crucial for safety and longevity. Get your unit looked at once in the spring (for air-conditioning) and once in the fall (for heating), in between the more intense weather months. Waiting until your system breaks down to call a professional is inefficient and dangerous! A technician will identify lurking issues, and deal with any repairs before you’re looking at a costly and premature system replacement. With regular professional maintenance, your air conditioner should last up to two decades! Without, you’ll be lucky to reach 10 years of use.

3. Condenser & Compressor Must Stay Clean and Clear
The condenser coil is located in the outdoor unit and is where refrigerant undergoes the process of returning from a gas to a liquid. A compressor raises the pressure of the refrigerant and moves it along. It works with a fan to complete the cycle. All of this is happening in the outdoor condenser unit. If you want your A/C to keep pumping out that cold air, it’s important to keep the outdoor unit clean and free from debris. Head out to your unit monthly to ensure that no debris is stuck in the fins. All sides of the unit should be clear of dirt, leaves, grass, hanging branches, or anything else up to at least 24 inches. That means trimming back encroaching plants and making sure not to stack anything on top of the unit.

4. You Can Help Keep Your A/C Cool
It’s your air conditioner’s job to keep you cool, but you can help! If the temperature in your home is already super hot before you turn on the unit, it has to work really hard to bring down the temperature and restore comfort. By keeping blinds and shades closed during the day, you help keep the indoor temperature down naturally and give your system a much-needed break. Keeping your unit from overworking will extend the life of your A/C. You can also assist your air conditioner by sealing up air leaks, improving insulation, and using ceiling fans or floor fans to create a wind-chill effect.

5. Technology + Thermostat = Worry-Free Comfort
A programmable or smart thermostat in conjunction with your central air conditioner will provide seamless and customizable comfort. When you are away, a programmable thermostat will raise the temperature while still minimizing heat. That way you won’t be paying in excess for cool air you’re not even home to enjoy. Always get home by 5pm? You can program your thermostat to have the house at your desired comfort level when you arrive and for the rest of the evening. Looking into the latest thermostat technology will improve the performance of your air conditioner and you can enjoy customized and cost-efficient comfort all year round.

HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Throughout the Year
Landscaping: Keep the area around the outside units clean and free of debris and tall grass. Trim back plants, trees and shrubs so they’re about three feet away from the equipment. When leaves and pine needles fall, or pollen coasts the equipment, gently brush them away. In addition, keep toys, furniture, bikes and garden supplies a few feet away from equipment.
Visual inspection: Regularly inspect your HVAC system for issues that require a professional’s attention, such as dirty evaporator or condenser coils, damaged fins, water leaks or frozen coils. In addition, pay attention to how the system sounds. Call an expert if you notice new or strange sounds or vibrations.

Every Quarter
Change the air filters: Replace the air filters in your HVAC equipment at least once every three months to promote proper airflow. If you have the manufacturer’s instructions available, follow its recommendations regarding the frequency with which to change the filters. Keep in mind that when there are cold snaps or heat waves, which place a heavier burden on your equipment, it might be a good idea to change the filters more often, such as once a month during the respective season.
Thermostat: As temperatures change, adjusting your thermostat will help prevent overloading your HVAC system and wasting energy. When the weather gets warm, set the thermostat to the “Cool” function. In the fall or winter, set it to the “Warm” or “Heat” function. As the temperatures change, ensure that the set point temperature isn’t hotter than the conditions outside or room temperature during the spring and summer. During the winter, the set point temperature should not be cooler than the room temperature or the temperature outside. If you are not sure about how to program the thermostat, you are not alone. Call an HVAC expert to do it for you while giving you a tutorial.
Electrical connections: Disconnected, loose or broken connections compromise a system’s safety and efficiency. If you can’t simply plug a loose connection back into the appropriate spot, call an HVAC contactor.

Fall and Winter
Professional heating system maintenance: In the fall, hire an HVAC expert for the heating system’s annual maintenance and inspection. During the inspection, the professional will check the electrical connections and voltage, condensate drain, exhaust outlets, fuel lines, burners, heat exchangers and other components. He or she will also lubricate moving parts and address areas of concern.
Carbon monoxide detector: If you use natural gas or oil for your heating system, replace the batteries in your carbon monoxide detector and test it to ensure that it works well. Replace the detector every five years.
Furnace: Replace the humidifier wick and turn on the water supply in the fall.
Ice: Dust off snow that accumulates on your outdoor HVAC equipment. If you see a bit of ice forming on the units, this is usually OK. If sheets or blocks of ice form on them, immediately call an expert. Do not try to melt the ice.

Spring and Summer
Professional cooling system maintenance: Before the weather warms in the spring, hire an HVAC expert to inspect the A/C. The professional will inspect the connections, voltage, lines, fins, pans, coils, refrigerant levels, blower system components and more. He or she will also lubricate moving parts, clean dirty components and calibrate the blower.
Inspect the A/C refrigerant lines: Find the two copper lines that go into the A/C condenser and identify the larger line (it might have insulation covering it). During the spring and summer, the line will feel cold or have condensation on it if refrigerant levels are sufficient. If the line does not have condensation on it or it does not feel cold to the touch, call a professional right away. Low refrigerant levels are one of the top causes of A/C failures. Check the refrigerant lines monthly when you use the A/C.
Furnace: Turn off the water supply to the furnace when you stop using it in the spring.

HVAC problems never happen at convenient times. Regular maintenance helps you avoid them while prolonging the system’s life. Even if you are talented at all things DIY, don’t get too carried away. Always hire a licensed HVAC contractor to perform annual maintenance and repairs on your HVAC system to prevent accidentally voiding active warranties. Get in touch with Barry's Heating and Air today to schedule a maintenance appointment.

Did you know that in order for an air conditioning unit to function efficiently, its filters, coils, and fins must be maintained regularly. Simply put: a clean air conditioner is an effective one. The most crucial piece of maintenance that will ensure the maximization of your air conditioner is routinely replacing or cleaning its filters. Clogged and dirty filters block normal airflow and reduce a system’s efficiency significantly. Dirt and debris in the unit will obstruct airflow and possibly impair the evaporator. Replacing a dirty, clogged filter with a clean one can lower your air conditioner’s energy consumption by 5% to 15%.
