Tips to Improve Central Air Conditioning System Efficiency

Top Tips to Maximize Efficiency in Your Central Air Conditioning System In Los Angeles, a well-maintained air conditioning system is essential to stay comfortable during the long, hot summer months. At MightyServ, we’re committed to helping you get the most out of your central AC with strategies that balance efficiency and performance. Our expert tips will help you maximize AC performance, so your HVAC system keeps up with the demands of LA’s intense heat. 1. Replace or Clean Filters for Optimal Airflow and Indoor Air Quality The air filter in your AC system plays a crucial role in trapping dust, allergens, and other contaminants. When filters become clogged, airflow is restricted, forcing your system to work harder and increasing energy consumption. For standard 1-inch filters, we recommend checking them monthly and replacing them every 1-3 months during peak cooling season. If your system uses a MERV-rated filter, our team can help ensure it provides optimal filtration and airflow without overloading your unit. 2. Fine-Tune Your Thermostat Settings with Smart Technology Setting your thermostat strategically can save energy without sacrificing comfort. Smart thermostats adapt to your daily routines and adjust the temperature accordingly, helping your system run more efficiently. Studies show

HVAC Sounds: If You Hear This, Call Us Now!

The sounds of our home appliances have a funny way of fading into background noise. The churn of the dishwasher, the tumbling of the clothes dryer, and the white noise of an air conditioner can even be soothing! So, it makes sense for an unfamiliar noise to be startling and concerning. If you’re reading this blog, you’ve likely narrowed down the clangs, buzzing, or screeching to your heater or air conditioner. Before we go any further, we need to be clear: any unfamiliar sounds from your heater or air conditioner are a sure sign that you need a repair. Heating and cooling equipment should operate quietly. So if your HVAC unit is sounding more like a… unique… instrument, it’s important to call a trained professional to investigate. Even if your unit is still cooling or heating your home, these funny sounds are an audible cue that there is a problem. And these seemingly insignificant problems don’t go away – they persist, and often develop into major problems. When you reach out to a professional for repair, it’s helpful to share whether the sound happens all the time while the unit is running or if it is sporadic. In this article,

What is the Right Size HVAC Unit for My Home?

One of the most common misconceptions that Los Angeles homeowners have about replacing their heating and cooling systems is a “bigger is better” mindset. It’s true that for many things in life, upgrading to a larger size can be beneficial. A bigger car means more space. A larger washing machine means fewer loads. And more storage on your smartphone means you can have more music and videos at your fingertips. Unfortunately, this rule doesn’t apply to home comfort systems. Bigger is not better for HVAC systems – it is essential to choose the size that’s just right for your home. Why Choosing the Right Size HVAC Is So Important A system that is too small has obvious downsides. An undersized unit might work fine during the shoulder seasons in spring and fall, but in extreme temperatures, it will not heat or cool your space to the desired temperature. That means you’ll be uncomfortable when you’re seeking relief the most! To make matters worse, an undersized unit will run continuously as it attempts to bring your home to the setpoint temperature. With higher runtimes, the unit will have more wear and tear than it should. When a system is undersized, it

Three Things to Do Before Replacing Your Furnace

Is your furnace giving you the chills? If your furnace is 10 years or older, it may be time to think about replacing your furnace. Just like any appliance, heating equipment degrades from the first day you use it. Annual heating maintenance can go a long way in keeping your system operating, but furnaces won’t run forever. If you notice that your furnace is not performing as well as you may want it to, we strongly recommend doing research before your heater calls it quits. Investigating a furnace replacement ahead of time ensures that you are prepared for the colder season, without having to worry about putting the task off until it’s too late. Homeowners should always get multiple quotes and investigate rebates and financing options – that’s good practice. But you should also familiarize yourself with the product you’re thinking about purchasing. Often, directly replacing the same type and size of furnace with a newer model isn’t the best choice. Have Your Heating Needs Changed? Furnaces come in different sizes, and it’s important to choose the right size for your home. Too small of a size, and your home won’t feel warm enough on the coldest days. Too large,

Fight the Flu With Your HVAC System

Although we enjoy blissfully mild temperatures year-round here in Southern California, the colder months bring in sweaters, hot tea, and all the pumpkin spice. But there’s something else that Fall brings that’s not as lovely; and that’s flu season. Colds and viruses spread any time of year. But in the coldest months between December and February is when peak spread happens. The Best Way to Prevent Flu Of course, for the most effective way to prevent catching or spreading the flu virus, the CDC recommends getting a flu vaccine before flu season begins, usually by the end of October. However, getting the flu shot anytime will help protect you through the rest of the flu season. Besides the vaccine, there are some preventive actions you can take to stop the spread of germs. The best things to do are to avoid close contact with people who are ill, wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Many viruses, including the common cold, the flu, and even COVID-19, are airborne. So, your HVAC system can also help to prevent spreading illness. Air Circulation is Your Friend!
