It Might Be Time to Go Ductless!

August 22nd, 2022

Ductless air conditioners are more common today than they have been in recent history. It’s not just because they’re some of the newest air conditioning and heating models on the market, but also due to other environmental factors like climate change, rising energy prices, and innovations that make them more convenient than other systems. That’s why we’d like to take some time today to talk about why your home might be perfect for our next ductless installation!

Ductless AC in Kalispell, MT is a great way to deal with our fluctuating temperatures each season. From chilly springs to hot falls, we can get a whole range of temperatures throughout the year and ductless heat pumps are designed specifically to deal with them.

These systems aren’t just air conditioners either–they’re heating systems that can keep your home comfortable on chilly days with just a minor amount of electricity being the cost.

Late AC Maintenance Is Still Worth It

August 8th, 2022

Air conditioning maintenance is a service that really comes to fruition when you get it done regularly. Your AC can more easily reach the 10-15 year lifespan, run efficiently, and even cool your home better with routine maintenance that’s scheduled every year.

However, nobody lives in a vacuum. Things happen in our lives that can bump into these kinds of purchases and simply jump to the front of the line in terms of priorities. Perhaps you’re planning for your daughter’s wedding, or you’ve got a recently broken-down car that needs to be replaced. These are important expenses that we understand take first priority.

So, if you were busy spending on important things and missed your chance for AC maintenance in Kalispell, MT, then don’t worry. Late maintenance is actually still just as effective as early maintenance, as long as you get it done in a yearly fashion. Keep reading to learn more!

7 Reasons to Change Your Air Filter

July 25th, 2022

Your air filter is a vital component to your air conditioning system. So vital, in fact, that we can think of seven reasons off the top of our heads that you should replace it every now and then. Not only does it heavily impact the effectiveness of your air conditioning unit, but it also seriously impacts the efficiency, your indoor air quality, and more. What we’re trying to say is that your air filter needs attention, perhaps more attention than you’d give the rest of the system!

See, the other benefit of an air filter is that it’s designed to be changed out by a homeowner. They’re relatively easy to inspect, clean, and replace. Other components in an air conditioning system are not that simple and require very specific training that only a professional goes through.

We urge everyone for the following reasons to change out their air filters, or at least call our team for air conditioning services in Kalispell, MT.

We Have a New Location!

July 18th, 2022

Where will our new location be? Well, the address of the new place will be located at 172 Frontage Rd., Kalispell, MT. Just a little south of the Kalispell town proper, it will be sandwiched between our good neighbors Bullwinkles Coffee, and one of our favorites, Big Sky Rents.

Our business has grown to the point that we realize that we have to move. We currently operate out of two separate shops on the same piece of property, which is unsustainable at the moment. So, we’re so happy to finally have a place to expand to so we can do great work for our customers.

Our new building will be a free-span steel building of 8000 ft.² with seven separate loading and unloading bays. Each will have its own overhead door. Efficiency is paramount in the design. We will be able to increase the efficiency of our operations and better serve our customers in every way shape and form. The move-in date is scheduled for the first of the year 2023 and construction is currently underway.

The new building will even have a custom kitchen for cooking great lunches and the smell of cookies permeating throughout. We treat our team like family, so we’re excited to take advantage of such a cool and homey spot to branch out our business, meet customer needs, and enjoy our jobs.
Every employee is super involved and excited about our new move.

Our goal is to provide the highest customer experience possible from any HVAC company anywhere. Our new building will help us to achieve that.

AC Fact-Check: Is That Foul Odor Coming From Your AC?

June 27th, 2022

Believe it or not, sometimes an air conditioner can exude a pretty foul odor that perplexes its owner. After all, air conditioners only cool air and reduce the humidity levels a little bit, how can that result in a strange or unpleasant odor?

Well, the truth is a bit more complicated than your air conditioner just “producing” a foul odor. Some odors can be caused by things like mold throughout your home, but other times there can be mold growing right inside of your air conditioner which causes it to produce a bad smell. This is what we’re going to talk about today.

If you think your home would do better with an odor-eliminating air purifier, then you can call our team right now to get one installed. Otherwise, if you think the odor is coming from your air conditioner, then keep reading. We’ll discuss why you might need professional AC service in Kalispell, MT.

“My AC Is Leaking What?”

May 16th, 2022

Uh oh, you’re hearing the telltale signs of a refrigerant leak. Either you’ve got a hissing or bubbling air conditioner, or maybe the system’s efficiency levels are really starting to cost you. But either way, it sounds to us like you’re dealing with a refrigerant leak. This is a fairly common problem with air conditioners, and since we’re at the very beginning of the cooling season, it only makes sense to get it fixed ASAP.

Air conditioning systems rely on refrigerant in a closed-loop system to deliver cooling to your home’s air. With less refrigerant (because more of it is leaking), this job gets harder and harder to do. You can’t really DIY a fix of this magnitude, because the system requires very precise AC repair in Kalispell, MT that can only be done by licensed professionals.

Keep reading to learn more about refrigerant leaks and what you can do to fix yours.
