Best of Air Conditioning – 2013 Best AC Systems

March 4, 2013 By dishwasherrepair

Now that 2013 is in full swing, its time to share the facts and our recommendations on the best air conditioning systems on the market for this year. It is never easy when researching a major purchase, like an air conditioning system, to really know what you are getting. While there are many options and brands to chose from, there are five systems that really stand out. Home-Tech’s air conditioning experts have done the research for you. You can trust our selections, as our criteria for selecting these AC systems are based upon price, performance, warranty and durability.

Amana 18 Seer Air Conditioning System – ASXC18

The ASXC18 is a popular selection because it is a best value when considering price and warranty coverage. This air conditioning unit provides high-efficiency, outstanding performance and quiet operation. In addition, it’s reliable operation and outstanding features add up to premium indoor comfort. Amana’s premium warranty protection includes a lifetime unit replacement limited warranty as well as a 10-year parts limited warranty.

Carrier Infinity 21 Central Air Conditioner – 24ANB1

Home-Tech’s air conditioning experts consider this Carrier to be the most technologically advanced and the highest performer in its class. It is the “Corvette” of the bunch. Not only was the Infinity 21 pinned as the Most Efficient in 2012 by Energy Star, but it was also named by Consumer’s Digest as a Best Buy^® winner. By far, this system does the best job removing humidity in the home thanks to the two-stage scroll compressor.

Trane XL20i - 4TTZ0024A

Trane air conditioning systems have a reputation of lasting the longest and being built the toughest. Their slogan, “It’s Hard to Stop a Trane,” is true, these units hold up for a very long time. The Home-Tech AC team refers to the XL20i as the ”F150 of the AC industry.” This dual-compressor unit has an exclusive compressor for milder weather and a second, larger compressor for hot days. Trane’s patented Comfort-R™ provides greater humidity control in cooling by running the fan at a slower speed during start-up.

Bryant Preferrred Series Air Conditioning System – 126B

Bryant, a sub-brand of Carrier, is a more economical option to save consumers some lettuce. Bryant is the “Toyota,” always reliable, doesn’t have many problems and will last for a very long time. This is the air conditioning system your neighbor and most of the people on your block will have. The Bryant 126B is a great, sturdy and long-lasting AC system and that is why we highly recommend it.

Maytag iQ Drive – PSA4BI – 24.5 SEER

When it comes to efficiency, the Maytag PSA4BI is the industry’s elite. This air conditioning system comes standard with a very strong warranty and it is made of stainless steel. Do you like a system that is extremely quite? The iQ drive puts out a quiet 59 decibles. This system was also awarded a Consumer Digest’s Best Buy^® and rated Most Energy Efficient design in 2012 by Energy Star. Thanks to its energy efficiency and high-end comfort features, this air conditioner qualifies for the Maytag ecoLogic™ green seal.

Your AC Experts

Have questions about the right air conditioning system for your home? While this list is an excellent start, every home is different. Make sure you research the system you may purchase, and double check that the AC company you hire is NATE certified, like Home-Tech. A new air conditioning system is no good unless it is properly installed, balanced and is the proper SEER for the size of your home. Don’t just call anyone, call Home-Tech to learn about our air conditioning options at 800-800-8356.

The Dos and Don’ts for a Better Wash – Tips for Appliances

August 27, 2012 By nsurratt

What is that smell? Are you taking care of your appliances, like your washer, properly?

Thanks to our friends at HGTV magazine, they have offered up some excellent advice on getting the whitest whites and cleanest laundry out of your washing machine. Does your washer have a funky smell? Are you over stuffing it full of laundry? Stop the insanity and get the most out of your laundry appliances by following these tips:

1. Do Consider a Top Loading Washer.

Its been approximately 10 years since the front loading washers made a big splash in the marketplace, but now, high-efficiency top loaders are gaining speed. These appliances sport high-efficiency operations, low water usage and bigger capacities. One our favorites include the Maytag Bravos XL® HE Top Load Washer with PowerWash® System. Get the Best Cleaning in the Industry enabled by PowerWash® system, plus the sanitary cycle with oxi helps eliminate 99.999 percent of common household bacteria. The allergen cycle reduces 95% of common household allergens like pet dander and dust mites.

2. Don’t Overstuff the Washing Machine

Over stuffing your front loading or top loading laundry appliances is a major No-No. If you fill your washer to the brim, not only will your clothes not get clean, but you risk putting extra stress on the motor and can wear it out. Of course, we want you to call Home-Tech for repairing your appliances, but we also want you to get the most you can out of them. Our advice: fill top loaders three-fourths full and front loaders two-thirds full. These are the manufacturers suggested fill levels to get the cleanest clothes while having your appliances operate at their best.

3. Don’t Let Your Washer Do the Waddle Dance Across the Floor.

While watching your washer do the shimmy shimmy shakes is entertaining, it is not good for your appliances. Front loaders and top loaders can both wobble. First, evaluate your loading technique. Are you shoving all the heavy clothing, like jeans or pants to one side of the basin? Second, is your washing machine on level ground? If you have tried to remedy the wobbles without success, these may be signs of a future breakdown. In this case, call Home-Tech for laundry appliance repair service.

4. Do Check Your Hoses.

When was the last time you took a look at your washer’s hoses? We know this isn’t something you may do on a routine basis, but really, you should. Hoses on these appliances can wear out after five years if they are made of plastic and rubber. Take a good look at them, and try to spot any holes or cracks. If you see any, schedule service with Home-Tech and they can replace these with more durable hoses.

5. Do Routine Cleaning of the Washer Basin.

Just because a washing machine cleans your clothes, doesn’t mean it cleans itself. Your machine’s wash basin, when not maintained, is a breeding ground for mold, mildew and foul odors. We have two easy cleaning solutions for you to try out. The first is Affresh, washing cleaning kit. The kit contains cleaning clothes and tablet you drop in your machine. You can purchase these in our Appliance Showrooms. The second suggestion is using good old Clorox bleach. Pour one cup of bleach into your empty machine and run it through a warm wash cycle.

6. Don’t Add too Much Detergent.

Those lines on the laundry detergent cap aren’t a eye-chart test. They are a well-tested and proven measurement for getting clothes their cleanest. The lines aren’t a suggestion, they are the rule. Our appliance experts suggest using even less than the recommended amount. You could wind up with soap scum on your clothes along with an icky residue, and no one wants that. For those of us that are allergic to dyes and harsh soaps, unclean clothes will cause increased itching. So do yourself and your clothes a favor and follow the rules of the cap.

7. Do Call Home-Tech When Your Washing Makes Weird Noises.

Did you hear that? If you are hearing a loud clicking, buzzing or humming noise from your washing machine or weird noises from any of your home appliances, call Home-Tech. We are the appliance repair experts and can repair any brand of appliances. Nights, weekends, and even tropical storms can’t keep us away from assisting our customers with their appliance repair needs. When you need a new appliance or repair service- you need Home-Tech. Call us to schedule a service or to chat with our Appliance Sales team to learn about the latest and greatest in laundry appliances: 800-800-8356.

Air Conditioning – New AC System = True Savings

August 14, 2012 By nsurratt

Just how much can you save with a new air conditioning system? A happy Home-Tech customer spills the beans on savings.

An Air Conditioning Thank You Note

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Almost one year ago, the original AC system that [Home-Tech] installed in my home back in 2000 reached the end of its life. It became clear that it was time to replace the unit. After some investigation, together with your sales staff, we finally settled on a twin speed Amana [ASXC18 R-410A] unit that was installed on August 23, 2011. This [unit] was more expensive than certain others [air conditioning units], but came highly recommended.

The months of April, May, June, July of 2012 finally provided a fair performance comparison. It may be deduced that the old air conditioner was laboring with age, and perhaps did not run with the utmost efficiency. The results detailed below are startling to me, and may prove to be of interest to you, as well.

Over the four months under review, there has been a reduction in units/dollars consumer of approximately 40%, with an average monthly savings of $136. This amount far exceeds the estimates made at the time of purchase. There is no doubt that this unit, though higher in cost, is more than living up to expectation and can be well recommended.

It is nice for once to see a project actually fulfill and even surpass expectation!

Sincerely,

Robert Land, Naples

Air Conditioning Repair – Your Ears Can Tell You When It’s Repair Time

August 7, 2012 By nsurratt

Picture this. You’ve had a really, really, really long day. You’ve just finished a grueling work week, sat in traffic and then you come home to a warm, muggy and humid house. You check the thermostat and it reads 72° but it feels more like 92°. You do whatever everyone else does. You turn your air conditioning off, then with fingers crossed, you turn it back on. Silence… you hear nothing. You feel no cold air or any air at all!

Click. Clack. BOOM!

Very rarely does the air conditioner magically turn back on to pump out that glorious cool, crisp air when it starts making noises. Instead, what you may hear is high-pitched squealing or screaming sounds (and we aren’t talking about the noises you are making). Now, some air conditioners do make noise when starting up, but if the noises you are experiencing are very loud and abnormal for a mechanical process, then you have a serious problem. We recommend turning off your air conditioning power supply from the breaker. Then, call Home-Tech.

The Sounds of Air Conditioning

Every single piece of machinery makes a noise and air conditioning systems are no exception. They may click on and off, you may hear the occasional buzzing as the system gets ready to blast out the cold air, and you may hear a soft hiss when it revs down. It is the unusual noises that you need to listen for, like the rattling, popping, groaning, clunking and vibrating sounds that are signals that something is wrong. Pin point where the noises are coming from, so when Home-Tech comes out to perform you air conditioning repair service, we can hone in on the problem right away.

The Drippity Drip Drip

Have you ever heard yourself utter these words, “Where is this water or fluid coming from?” Yeah, I thought so. We all have. Chances are, it can be coming from your air conditioner. If water has pooled around the condenser unit, or if the fluid is unidentifiable to you, it could be leaking refrigerant. This is a perfect example of when you need to call Home-Tech right away. Freon is a dangerous substance, and shouldn’t be inhaled.

Warning Signs- You Need Air Conditioning Repair

1. AC is blowing out warm air

2. The air conditioning unit won’t turn off or on

3. Your HVAC continuously runs in cool mode without switching off

4. Leaks around air conditioning unit

5. Uneven cooling of home – some rooms are warmer than others

6. Strange noises coming from the cooling unit

7. Anything else that seems unusual for your heating/cooling system

Air Conditioning – What to Expect when a Comfort Specialist Visits You

July 31, 2012 By nsurratt

What to do when the Air Conditioner Has Broken for the Last Time? Look to Home-Tech to help you find the right replacement air conditioning system for your home.

This Summer is a Sizzler!

It’s hot. We know it. But, being without air conditioning during the hot summer months can be unbearable.

You did your research and found that we sell air conditioning systems from Carrier, Trane, Maytag, and Amana, and can repair any brand!

You’ve read our customer testimonials, and seen our trucks. Friends and neighbors of yours have told you how wonderful our air conditioning service is and now you are ready to be a part of the Home-Tech team. You’ve scheduled your appointment with one of our experienced Comfort Specialists, and we are here to tell you to relax. You are in good hands.

Our Comfort Specialists have a high tech, but easily understood, quote or proposal for you. That way you can make the best decision for your air conditioning system replacement. Our consumers like that our technicians present this information in a professional, LOW PRESSURE way.

Our Goals for Your Air Conditioning System Replacement

To provide comfort, air conditioning and/or heating
To solve your cooling and heating problems
To educate our customers
To provide you with all the information they need
To provide you with a list of warning signs that you can recognize, so you can identify when a problem begins
And to educate you about necessary maintenance. We want you to get the most out of your air conditioning system replacement.

A Home Visit from Home-Tech

When our Comfort Specialist arrives at your home, these are some things you can expect from a qualified heating and air conditioning dealer, like Home-Tech to address when you’re purchasing a new system:

Calculating energy savings with a new system. You may find that investing in a new energy-efficient system will yield monthly savings greater than money earned on a CD investment or savings account.
Educating you about the system and equipment (provide all instructions and manufacturer’s documents, including warranties).
Selecting the type of system and equipment (plus operating and safety controls) that are compatible with the architecture of your home, fuel availability, fuel costs, the space available for equipment and duct runs, appearance issues and project cost.
Using the proper industry manual procedures and manufacturer’s data to select, size and place equipment, supply outlets, ducts and returns.
Performing load or sizing calculations for each room and the load on the central unit(s). New homes are better insulated and do not have the same capacity requirements as older homes. Over-sizing a unit can contribute to uncomfortable temperatures and inefficient performance.
Disposing of old equipment.
Installing the refrigerant lines.
Installing to local, state and federal codes and utility regulations.
Installing the indoor and outdoor equipment. A split system is the most common installation.
Installing supply air outlets and returns if they do not exist or are inadequate.
Installing duct runs (must be sealed and insulated to R-6 or R-8 if in unconditioned space) if they do not exist or are inadequate.
Installing control system(s), such as thermostats and/or zoning controls.
Installing furnace gas piping and vent (if applicable).
Measuring and adjusting air flow at the unit and at the rooms (balancing work).
Checking refrigerant charge.
Charging the refrigerant system.
Checking all control cycles.
Checking all power supplies, connections, fuel trains and vents.

Air Conditioning: Selecting the Right Company

July 24, 2012 By nsurratt

Proudly Serving Lee, Collier, Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte Counties

There are two important considerations when selecting a new heating and air system:

1. Hire a quality licensed air conditioning contractor. With central air conditioning and heating, product performance and reliability are directly tied to the company’s ability to design and install a system compatible for your home. The lowest price may not provide the highest quality installation.

2. Ask the right questions. Because heating or cooling purchases happen maybe once every 16-20 years, you may not be up to speed on new technologies or solutions available to correct common indoor problems. If you don’t speak up, the sales associate may assume you’re not interested in lowering utility bills, saving energy, reducing hot and cold spots or improving your indoor air quality.

Ask the Right Questions

Here’s how to make sure you are selecting the right company to purchase and install your new heating and air system. The goal for you is to purchase a correctly sized system that is also properly installed.

Typically, manufacturer warranties cover the replacement of faulty components for a limited time (Maytag® is 12 years when the warranty is registered). Failure due to poor installation is typically not warranted by manufacturers. Select a dealer and installer, like Home-Tech, who will do a good job the first time and be around to service your system and assist you as needed.
A quality installation takes more time to complete. Expect to pay more upfront for comprehensive service, but much less in the long run for system service and maintenance.
A Comfort Specialist coming into your home should do more than just inspect your current system. Our specialists check airflow, inspect the duct system, make note of the windows and the direction your home faces.
Ask how long the company has been in business and if they offer 24/7 service, financing or accept credit cards.
Ask if the dealer possesses all of the appropriate licensing for installing air conditioning and heating equipment in your state and local area. Home-Tech’s Tech Reps are NATE Certified and licensed.
A knowledgeable air conditioning dealer and installer has your best interests at heart and will ask about your comfort in the home, how long you have lived there, how long you plan to stay, if you have allergies, pets, smokers, hot and cold spots or excessive noise.
A Home-Tech installer has the tools to address your home comfort issues, will offer solutions such as programmable thermostats, humidifiers, air cleaners and variable-speed and two-stage technology.
Be leery of a dealer or contractor who quotes you a price on the back of a business card after just a few minutes, and especially if it’s over the phone.
Consider a Service Agreement for extended peace of mind and maintenance on your new air conditioning system.

Trust in Home-Tech

Since 1981, Home-Tech has been proudly servicing, selling and installing air conditioning and heating systems in Southwest Florida.

Low Prices – Worthy of a Celebration

Home-Tech Saves You Money on Appliances

We would light off firecrackers if we could to let everyone know about our super savings. How about an 18′ cubic ft. refrigerator for as low as $499? Does a dishwasher for $329 strike your fancy? What about an electric range for as little as $399? We have appliances for everyone and every price range. Just come in the store and see the savings for yourself!

For those looking for something on the higher end, Whirlpool is offering a savings of $700 off the price of their 26 cubic foot stainless steel french door refrigerator, and about $730 in savings off the price (after rebate) of the Whirlpool Duet Front Load Washer and Electric Steam Dryer Pair.

Don’t miss out on Maytag’s 25 cubic feet stainless steel side by side refrigerator. The sale price is $998 after rebate. It is has a Store-N-Door Ice Dispenser and is Energy Star rated. There are also steep discounts on Bosch’s 500 Series, 300 Series and 800 Series stainless steel dishwashers. The 500 Series is the quietest in its class with 48-dBA.
