Short-cycling can be as ominous of a phrase as it sounds. Unfortunately, it’s also a relatively common malfunction within HVAC systems. That is, if the system was not properly installed to begin with, or if you don’t have it professionally maintained on a regular basis.

If you’ve read our blog for even just a season, then you probably have seen us talk about maintenance, also called tune-ups, before. Regular, preventive maintenance is vital for your heating and cooling systems in the fall and the spring, respectively. These are the ideal times for HVAC maintenance because it’s right before you need your systems the most.
However, this is also where we should add a caveat—consistency matters more than timing when it comes to HVAC maintenance. Your central furnace and air conditioning systems should be professionally tuned up once a year each. Or, if you have a heat pump that you use year-round, it should receive professional maintenance twice a year! It’s simple to stay on top of this important service when you enroll in a maintenance plan such as ours. Read on to learn more.

When it comes time to install a new air conditioner, it can be hard to determine what the right choice is. After all, there are so many options on the market today. If you’ve always had a traditional central air conditioner, an easy choice could be to just stick with this model and make a slight upgrade to get a newer one. This might end up being the perfect option for you, but it’s certainly not the only option.
There is, after all, the heat pump! Heat pump systems are set up similarly to traditional central air conditioners. In fact, just like central AC systems, in the summertime, they work by drawing heat out of your home and putting it through a refrigerant process in order to return chilled air back into your home.
Read on to learn why this matters, and what benefits there could be to choosing a heat pump versus a central air conditioner.
