Educate Yourself

Have you ever been confused when listening to an air conditioner repairman? You’re not alone! Some people are even uneasy when it comes to having to deal with an air conditioning issue because they feel incompetent and fear they will be taken advantage of by their repairman. Admittedly, there is a lot of jargon used in the world of heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), but that’s no reason a repairman should keep their customer in the dark.

Some HVAC companies may use specific terminology as a way to appear more experienced. Unfortunately, others may simply use it as a way to complicate their analysis and recommendation as a way to take advantage of unsuspecting customers. At Wolff Mechanical, we believe our skilled professionals should not only be dedicated to offering the best HVAC services valley-wide, but are also a resource to provide our customers with valuable understanding so they can make educated decisions.

As a service to our customers and for the general consumer, we have compiled a list of typical jargon on our website which we felt were important for all HVAC consumers to understand. Most of these are specific to air conditioning, but some overlap with heating lingo, so as to help the air conditioning consumer understand how some of these phrases cross over in the world of HVAC in general. Please use this page as a way to educate yourself and others in making more informed decisions when it comes to purchasing, repairing and maintaining the most efficient AC system for as long as possible.

Wolff Mechanical is a full-service HVAC provider for Phoenix and the outlying areas. We have been in business in the valley with an A+ rating at the BBB for over 22 years. We were named number one by ranking AZ business magazine in 2013, by votes from our loyal customers. Our strong commitment to customer service in the heating and cooling industry, as well as the value we place on educating our customers, are some of the many reasons we are the leader of the pack!

Don't Sweat It!

It’s that time of year in Arizona when the temperatures are going to begin to climb every day until we inevitably reach record highs. You cannot survive a summer in the valley of the sun without air conditioning (AC)! Flip a switch and we almost forget the sweltering heat outside. It’s a standard expectation for the home, car, office, grocery, convenience store, etc. Our AC systems can be running 24/7 in the summer, but we don’t really think about it until the AC stops working.

Seasonal air conditioning system tune-ups are a wise investment every home and business owner should make as preventative maintenance. Not only will it keep your system running when you’re relying on it, but it’s good for your budget. Running a poorly maintained system is foolishly expensive. A neglected system can cost you up to 50 percent more to run than one that has had proper care. A seasonal tune-up is about preventing problems, such as breakdowns on a sweltering summer day, inflated energy bills due to declining efficiency or the unnecessary expense of replacing equipment that has failed prematurely.

Here are some things that should be completed in a seasonal air conditioner tune-up:

• Testing of system functions and safety controls.
• Inspection and maintenance of electrical connections and components.
• Inspection, lubrication and maintenance of pumps.
• Cleaning and maintenance of motors.
• Inspection, cleaning and balancing of blowers.
• Checking for proper airflow and air filter maintenance.
• Inspection of coils and condensate pans, lines and traps, and cleaning as necessary.
• Testing of refrigerant levels and, if low, locating and repairing any leaks. http://wolffmechanical.net/hvac-tune-up/

Given the benefits an AC tune-up has on both comfort and finances, it just doesn’t make sense to skip seasonal service. If you neglect preventative maintenance of your AC system because you simply don’t know how or are too busy, a maintenance agreement might be a smart investment for you. A service agreement places the management of your maintenance schedule in the hands of your AC contractor to ensure it is completed properly and regularly.

The trained staff at Wolff Mechanical focuses on taking care of your HVAC equipment during the off-season months to give you peace of mind when it counts the most. You can trust our professionals for exceptional service and solutions every time. For more information about air conditioning tune-ups and annual maintenance agreements, please contact us.

Spring Cleaning Your Air & Bills

Its spring and we’re all enjoying the glorious weather in our dessert this time of year! Summer is the last thing we want to think about, but this is the best time to prepare for the upcoming summer temperatures. If you haven’t had your air conditioner (AC) serviced after months of non-use, we guarantee you won’t be happy when you go to turn on the AC for respite from raising temps just to discover it isn’t working properly. Even worse is having your AC go out in the middle of summer due to parts failing that could have been avoided from a routine servicing.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Scheduling an annual service appointment is often overlooked, but these service appointments will not only ensure your home feels cozy year-round, but will also make your system operate more efficiently, thus saving you money on your monthly utility bills. There are many advantages associated with keeping your air conditioning system in proper working order:

• The more efficient your system is, the greater your carbon footprint is reduced.
• You can have greater peace of mind that you have a safer, more reliable system.
• A smoother running system helps you save on your energy bills.
• You will have decreased risk of a system breakdown in the middle of extreme weather.
• Parts will stay in better working order, lessening wear and tear.

There are other things that don’t necessarily need to be done annually, but should be completed and checked periodically. These will help make sure you are maximizing your energy savings and comfort level throughout the extreme temperatures.

• Repair your ductwork – Any damage found in your ductwork is most likely causing conditioned air to leak. Also consider insulating your ducts, as this will keep warm air from seeping out during the winter months.
• Install a programmable thermostat – Why cool your home when no one’s home? This wastes energy and money. Investing in a programmable thermostat allows you to set the thermostat to automatically turn on and off, and will make a huge difference on heating and cooling bills.
• Radiant heat barriers – Have a radiant heat barrier, which is thin layer of metal insulation, installed in your attic in order to reduce the amount of heat transferred here from your home by almost 95 percent.
• Install ceiling fans – During the summer, ceiling fans make you feel cooler, allowing you to keep your thermostat a few degrees higher. Using ceiling fans throughout the year will save energy and energy costs. 

For over 20 years, Wolff Mechanical has been serving the valley of the sun for both residential and commercial needs.

It’s A Dry Heat

We’ve heard it a thousand times here in the valley of the sun, “at least it’s a dry heat.” Though the winter months here in the valley may not be a debate, the summer months are another thing all together! So we go from our air conditioned homes, to our air conditioned offices/schools, back to our air conditioned car, and return to our air conditioned homes once again; and that’s how we survive! But are you and your household members continually at odds over what the temperature of the thermostat in your house should be set at? One person is always too hot, another too cold, of course someone else thinks it’s just right. ;)

Either way, when it gets hot outside, the AC will be turned on! So before the heat actually arrives, it is time to get ready for it. By performing certain tasks before the season is officially upon us, you can avoid many foreseeable issues. A neglected AC unit can cost up to 50% more to run and can lead to many more issues than one that has been properly cared for. If you feel comfortable doing some home maintenance steps yourself, there are some helpful hints we found at the ConsumerEnergy Center website. http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/tips/summerize.html

On the EnergyStar website, there are additional tips they share for cooling down your home or business to get ready for summer. Energy Star is “a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy program to help us all save money and protect our environment through energy efficient products and practices.” http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/promotions/cool_change/downloads/CYW_Topfiveways.pdf

If you can’t figure out the problem, call a professional in like Wolff Mechanical. A professional will perform a complete inspection, safety tests, tune-up, cleaning, and perform repairs. Though we don’t guarantee it will stop any squabbles over what the thermostat should be set at, preparing beforehand will keep you from having to make an “emergency” call when temps are soaring and repair people are busy! Your comfort is our top priority, so we pride ourselves on same day service. Call us today at (602) 814-0004.
