With our dramatic shifts in weather over the past few weeks in California, it’s only fair that we’d like to talk about a more environmentally friendly energy system. Between the raging fires, record-setting temperatures, and climate systems that seem to be completely out of whack, we’re learning to adapt our energy and comfort systems to help keep us happy without the use of old fuel sources.
We’re going to be blatantly honest—solar energy in Sacramento, CA is one of the best ways to head into the middle of the 21st century prepared for whatever energy crises might occur.
Luckily, our team has been around for more than three decades here. We’ve become the local “solar experts” and we’re going to go into detail about why a solar energy system could be the perfect system for you, and why our team should be the one to set it up.
The weather in Sacramento this time of the year can be all over the place, with “unseasonably” warm weeks and chillier temperatures at night. That said, it’s important that we be prepared for whatever Mother Nature has to bring our way. The best way to do that is by staying on top of our HVAC service needs—namely maintenance and repairs.
Our short answer to this is going to be, “yes of course!” But then again, you’d expect us to say that, right?
How often do you think about your water heater? If you’re like most homeowners, the answer is probably, “not very much.” While you’re not alone, it’s not a good idea to wait until something goes wrong with this system to start thinking about it. And when something does go wrong with it, you’ll be left to decide if it’s worth repairing or if you should invest in a replacement.
With the official start of fall just around the corner, homeowners like yourself are probably looking forward to shutting off air conditioners for the season. After all, with all the use our cooling systems get, our utility bills can get quite high. So it makes sense that you want to stop using your system soon.
If you’ve lived in our area for even just a year, then you know how rough our summers can be. Our air conditioners have been working hard so far. Fortunately, today’s cooling systems are durable and designed to handle the hottest of temperatures. Still, you may be tired by now of paying high utility costs just to keep comfortable in your home.
If there is any home comfort appliance in your home that goes underappreciated, it’s probably the water heater.
Okay, don’t get too excited! We aren’t providing a guide on how to install your air conditioner. The reason? Only a trained and experienced professional should ever do this kind of work. After all, AC systems are highly complex pieces of machinery, requiring specific knowledge and skills to service correctly.
There is no such thing as a completely silent air conditioner. AC systems make noise as they cycle on and off and as they run. You’ll even hear ductwork fluctuating with temperature changes throughout the day or night. And let’s face it, even though we may not get as scorching of temperatures as other parts of the state, our summers can be brutal and our air conditioners go through a lot, potentially requiring a number of repairs throughout their lifespan.
Solar panels have done wonders in helping homeowners live a more eco-friendly life while enjoying comfort at as low a cost as possible. But when a new homeowner goes to have solar panels installed, they often think that their only option is to have rooftop-panels. While this works in many cases, it can be harder for some homes to truly reap all the benefits that solar energy brings if the roof isn’t angled to use the panels as effectively as possible.
