Don’t Ignore These 5 AC Noises in Venice, FL
Tuesday, May 30th, 2023Air conditioners are essential to many homes and businesses. They typically make little to no noise, but some odd sounds may indicate a problem that needs addressing by an HVAC technician. Here are five common AC noises you shouldn’t ignore in Venice, FL.
1. Squealing
A high-pitched squealing noise often means that either the bearings or belt need replacing. It’s not something to try replacing yourself; an HVAC expert needs to do it. Not addressing this could cause damage to the motor or other components of the AC system.
2. Rattling
Loose screws, bolts, or other parts of the AC unit may be the source of a rattle. Debris that has become entrapped inside the unit could also be the reason. Additionally, it could be possible that a part of the unit, such as the compressor, is malfunctioning or damaged.
3. Hissing
A hissing sound can indicate a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant cools the air in the AC unit, and a leak can cause the system to stop working efficiently or even break down entirely. An HVAC technician needs to come in and check for the source of the refrigerant leak and determine a solution.
4. Grinding
A grinding noise usually means a malfunctioning motor, worn bearings or a metal component that’s rubbing or scraping against another and causing friction. Not getting the problem fixed immediately could result in the issue worsening and getting more expensive to repair.
5. Banging
A banging noise indicates a broken compressor, an issue with the fan, or a problem with the motor. It’s important to have a professional inspect the unit and have them maintain your system in the future through preventative maintenance visits. The latter can help catch minor issues before they have the potential to become major ones.
If you hear any unsettling noises, turn off your HVAC system immediately. Promptly addressing any unusual AC noise can help prevent further damage to the unit. Contact Conditioned Air to repair or replace your AC system.

Why You Should Choose A Roof-Mounted Air Conditioning System for Your Business
Wednesday, November 10th, 2021When it comes to making your commercial space comfortable for your employees as well as customers, an air conditioning system is among the key investments to consider.
While there are plenty of options in the markets to choose from, it can be tricky finding one that will work the best for your business. When planning to acquire one, it’s wise to consider the costs, size and the number of occupants in the building per given time. You also need to determine the ideal place to install the unit.
If you are wondering whether to install your air conditioning system on the ground or on the roof of your commercial building, here are 4 reasons why you should consider installing it over there.
Saving space
Many commercial buildings usually have a lot of unused space on their rooftops. You can utilize this space by installing a roof-mounted air conditioning system. This frees the ground space for other things such as landscaping and extra parking or for future expansions of your building.
Promoting a quieter working environment
With a roof-mounted air conditioning system, you won’t need separate indoor and outdoor units, as is the case with split systems. All the components including the compressor, the blower fans, the evaporator coil, and the condenser coil are housed in a single unit. Most roof-mounted air conditioning systems come in an all-in-all, thus the name-packaged units. This configuration greatly eliminates noise pollution in your business, giving both your employees and customers an easier time as they go about their businesses.
Preventing dust and debris
Ground air conditioning systems are prone to dirt and dust accumulation. That means more maintenance work will be required, especially when it comes to cleaning. A lot of dust and dirt accumulation can also affect the performance and efficiency of your air conditioning system. Roof-mounted systems, on the other hand, are better positioned to reduce such issues.
Enhancing security
The location of roof-mounted air conditioning systems makes them more secure than the ground-mounted types. Air conditioning systems installed on the ground are more likely to be damaged, vandalized, and even stolen. Such circumstances can result in significant losses for your business. With roof-mounted air conditioning systems, you won’t have to worry about dealing with such problems.
Important Questions When Choosing Your Next Air Conditioner
Tuesday, September 14th, 2021Your air conditioning unit has finally gone out on you, or at least, you are being proactive in replacing it. While you can certainly find a model that is likely very similar to your old one, it might be worth considering other options. If you are looking to replace an air conditioner, there are some things to keep in mind when making the choice.
Key Factors When Deciding On Your New Air Conditioner
While you will need a professional to help you correctly size what air conditioner you need and to do the installation work, deciding on the type of air conditioner you need is all about asking yourself the right questions.
How Are Your Ducts?
If you do not have ducts in your home, installing a central air system will be an expense. However, they are seen as the standard. Alternatively, even if you have ducts, if you only spend time in certain areas of your home or rarely use your air conditioner, ductless systems may be something to consider.
Do You Want Customizable Cooling?
These days air conditioner systems and temperature control systems have come a long way. You can control temperature in each room if you so desire. This may mean a need for supplemental systems or choosing a system like a heating pump rather than just an air conditioner.
If your home previously had issues with uneven temperatures in rooms, you will also want to bring this up to your technician. It could be an issue in appropriate sizing or it could be a sign of duct issues as well.
Do You Need a Heater As Well?
If your heat system is on its last legs as well, or you don’t have one, you may want to consider a system that does both. Heat pumps, despite the name, do both heating and cooling of a home. They are actually excellent choices for areas that are mostly warm, but do have some chiller moments.
4 Health Benefits of Air Conditioning
Friday, February 26th, 2021Air conditioning has become more than an ordinary home appliance today. By purchasing an air conditioner for your home in Sarasota FL, you can create a health-friendly environment. Besides giving you personal comfort, this home appliance can improve your living standards by creating a clean, healthy, and safe environment. Additionally, it can maintain a cooler temperature during summer. Below is a list of the top merits of installing an air conditioner in your home.
Reduced risk of dehydration and heatstroke
Dehydration occurs due to a lack of enough water in the body. One major cause of dehydration is sweating profusely. The more you sweat, the more you increase your exposure to dehydration. On the other hand, heatstroke occurs when your body begins to overheat due to hot temperatures in the surrounding temperature. A fully functional air conditioning unit will be beneficial in keeping you warm during the cold winter period.
Reduced asthma attacks
The air conditioning unit helps to minimize your exposure to an asthma attack. It purifies air in your immediate surroundings by filtering the dirty air that might contain dust mites or pollutants. Plus, it also eliminates dampness that might result in the growth of mold. All of these may cause asthma attacks. Failure to replace your air filters from time to time will only result in the cycle of the same dirty air in your home.
Provides comfort
Every homeowner in Naples, FL has his or her comfort zone. Some are sensitive to heat situations, while others are sensitive to cold weather. With an air conditioning unit, you can customize your surrounding environment to suit your preferences. Installing this electrical appliance improves your health status and reduces stress by eliminating any possible discomfort.
Enhances sleep and boosts productivity
A refreshing environment is ideal for sleeping as it lowers both your blood pressure and heart rate. Thus, allowing you to sleep comfortably without any distraction. Lastly, a room with the perfect room temperature and fresh air contribute to boosting your productivity and your well-being.

Air Conditioning Services That Contribute to High Performing HVAC Systems
Tuesday, April 21st, 2020With summer here, homeowners need to give focus to the overall health of their HVAC systems. Our teams of highly skilled and experienced HVAC technicians strive to provide all our valued clients with the highest quality air conditioning services this side of the state. With that said, we want to share some important tasks our techs can perform to ensure that your cooling system is operating effectively and efficiently.
- Condenser unit checkup – The outside condenser unit pulls the hot air from your home and delivers it to the outdoors. If the condenser is not working properly the heat will not be able to escape freely causing your system to run longer and harder in order to keep the atmospheres cool in your home. Our technicians will inspect the condenser unit to ensure that all its components are working at peak levels and, perform necessary repairs as needed.
- Duct sealing – Most homes have leaky duct work that ultimately forces the AC system to work harder and run longer. Our team will perform necessary duct sealing using a sealant or metal tape to cover the existing leaks, add a layer of insulation around the duct work, and will also reseal or refit any ducts that are poorly connected. These effective solutions are not only energy efficient, but will help to provide more comfortable atmospheres in your home.
- AC system inspection – If your system presents with unusual sounds or unfamiliar smells coming from the ventilation system, be sure to contact our team of specialists. Our certified HVAC technicians will inspect the system, identify problems and their sources, and provide effective and efficient system solutions as needed.
- Routine AC maintenance – Annual maintenance of your cooling system is essential to the proper performance and functionality of your system. Routine maintenance contributes to the efficiency of your AC, helps to prevent costly repairs and breakdowns, and minimizes energy bills. We highly recommend you schedule your AC tune-up and inspection in the spring.
We’re at the time of year when having a high function system is critical to avoid having multiple visits to your home from your HVAC company. No one wants to have frequent visits from their HVAC company so be sure to contact our team of friendly technicians to schedule your routine maintenance today. We look forward to serving you and to providing you with only the best all round air conditioning services year after year.
