Does Your HVAC Maintenance Plan Include These 3 Key Benefits? (Don’t Be Left In The Cold This Year)

October 31st, 2019

As the end of October is upon us here in the Lowcountry, it’s about that time of year homeowners start to think about the upcoming winter weather season.

Your HVAC system’s heating function starts to become more and more important and something you’ll need to make sure is working right when temperatures really start to dive.

You’d hate to find out too late that you can’t keep your home warm for you and your family which is why we always recommend signing up for an HVAC maintenance plan for your system.

In saying that, though, not all maintenance plans are created equally so even if you have one currently make sure that it contains these 3 key benefits (if not, contact us today) to help ensure you’ll stay comfortable this winter season in Charleston.

No Overtime Charges

This can be a real money-saver. Most HVAC companies will charge extra (on top of current rates) for nights and weekend service calls — something that can compound what could be an already big expense.

When you sign up for a maintenance plan with certain Lowcountry HVAC companies, however, the extra rates won’t be added on, so you’ll pay the standard rates anytime you need service.

Priority Scheduling

Speaking of service calls, as a client that has signed up for a maintenance contract be sure to ask about priority scheduling.

HVAC companies in Charleston can get super busy — nearly year-round — so getting an early appointment with your chosen heating and air company can be a challenge.

To help ensure you get closer to the front of the line, priority scheduling for having an active maintenance plan should definitely be on your priority list.

Bi-Annual HVAC Inspection

Any maintenance plan worthwhile should always include at least two thorough system inspections per year. One inspection being for the spring (to prep for our long, humid summers) and another in the fall to make sure your system is ready for any kind of cold weather we could face here in the Lowcountry.

As that cold weather approaches Charleston in November, we hope you stay warm and comfortable and by making sure your HVAC maintenance plan has the 3 important benefits above we’re sure you will. (Among the many things we here at Carolina Climate Control already offer 🙂 )

How A Heat Pump Works & What To Look For When Installing A New One

October 15th, 2019

If you’re new to the Lowcountry, or to the southeastern part of the United States in general, you may be hearing the word “heat pump” used quite often when someone is talking about their HVAC system or air conditioning in general.

When many people first hear the term “heat pump” they’re thrown off by the word “heat” as only being related to cold weather conditions, when in fact this term is all-encompassing for all weather conditions here in Charleston.

To help take some of the mystery out of heat pumps for you, below is an in-depth look at what they are, how they work, and finally some important heat pump brands and manufacturers you should be aware of.

What Is A Heat Pump? And How Does It Work?

A heat pump — very simply — is a piece of equipment that moves heat from one place to another. In our case, an air source heat pump is used to transfer heat in (during the winter) and out (during the summer). You may see something called a ground-source heat pump as well, more commonly referred to as geothermal heat pump, but you can review that topic in our other geothermal heating and cooling blog posts.

The heat pumps we’re referring to have the unique ability to transfer heat in both directions. That is, it can pull heat out of your home in the summertime and into your home during the wintertime.

When you have a furnace installed, it creates the heat on its own (using gas, electricity, etc.) to heat your home — heat pumps, generally speaking, do not create heat on their own. They pull/absorb any ambient heat from a source (the air outside) to warm your home.

In the summertime, a heat pump will operate exactly like any traditional central air conditioning system — pulling out the warmth and humidity in your home and transfer it to the outside air.

Heat Pump Manufacturers & Brands

With numerous manufacturers of heat pumps available for you to choose from it can be hard to know exactly which one will best fit your specific comfort needs here in the Lowcountry.

Like we always say, if you don’t happen to know something or don’t have experience with a certain area of expertise, rely on the people who eat, sleep and breathe it, day-in and day-out: your local HVAC company in Charleston.

If there’s one thing all HVAC companies hate, it’s faulty equipment — including heat pumps — so when they recommend a manufacturer it means they’ve most likely had great experience with them and they have happy customers because of it.

One manufacturer of heat pumps that continuously makes our customers happy is Trane.

Trane continues to innovate upon an already great set of heat pump lines, which is why we almost always tend to recommend going with them.

As Trane Comfort Specialists, we also can offer better pricing and longer warranties when you get your heat pump installed.

As you can see from what we reviewed above, heat pumps can play an important role in your personal home comfort here in the Lowcountry and also help save you money in certain circumstances.

Should you have any other heat pump questions or HVAC questions in general, you can always contact us anytime — we’ll be glad to help.

3 Money-Saving Reasons To Make The Switch To Geothermal HVAC This Year In Charleston

August 27th, 2019

Here’s something you may not know: your home is literally sitting on a free, infinite supply of energy.

This energy source can be used to heat & cool your home throughout the year here in Charleston at a fraction of the operational costs of traditional energy sources.

This energy source is called geothermal energy.

Geothermal Energy: A Quick Rundown

Geothermal energy is essentially stored solar energy in the ground beneath your home. Throughout the year, the earth absorbs the sun’s energy and that energy essentially remains there, ready to be tapped into and used.

This stored energy helps maintain the below-ground temperature at a steady 55-70 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year — all while the outside air temperatures fluctuate between the extreme high temperatures of summer and the colder temps of winter.

This steady underground temperature can be tapped into and used to cool your home during the summer and to warm your home during the winter. Large loops or pipes under the ground work in coordination with a geothermal heat pump to move heat into the ground (during the summer) — and out-of the ground (during the winter).

Geothermal HVAC is the most energy efficient type of system out there (upwards of 530%) and is also the longest lasting — with lifespans of up to 25 years for the indoor unit and up to 100 years for the underground equipment.

Reason #1: Huge Monthly Energy Savings (Up To 70%)

As noted above, the efficiency of geothermal systems is unparalleled.

Efficiency — in HVAC terms — is basically how much energy a system needs to produce a certain desired comfort level.

For example, let’s say you want to maintain a 72 degree temperature in your home. If an HVAC system (‘System A’ we’ll call it) takes a certain amount of energy to maintain this temperature and a different HVAC system (System B) uses more energy than System A to maintain that same temperature, then System A is said to be more efficient than System B.

Geothermal HVAC systems use a fraction of the energy that is used by traditional systems to maintain the same comfort level and thus outpace all others in efficiency.

This efficiency ultimately means you’re using less energy each month, and less energy used means lower energy bills — up to 70% in many cases.

Reason #2: Federal & State Tax Credits For Energy Efficiency (Act Fast Though)

Along with the monthly energy savings, there are federal and state level tax incentive programs that allow you to offset the initial project cost of installing a geothermal system.

Through 2019, you can receive a federal tax credit of 30% of the total system/project cost, along with South Carolina state tax credit (currently 25%!).

You’ll want to act on a geothermal project quickly though as the federal tax credit drops to 26% in 2020 and 22% in 2021.

Reason #3: The Only HVAC System Type That Pays You Back Over Time

Altogether with the advanced energy efficiency, the longer equipment lifespan and the tax credits, geothermal systems are the only type of HVAC system that will eventually pay you back over time.

Basically after the initial cost of the system (which you can also get special financing for as little as $125/mo with $0 down), you’ll be saving nearly $1,500 each year on energy bills, which after time allows you to “break-even” on your initial HVAC project investment — something that will never happen with a traditional system.

After this break-even point, you’re essentially profiting from using your geothermal system each month versus losing money each month with a traditional system.

Not only is this great, but because the lifespans of geothermal systems are much longer you won’t need to spend anything on new equipment until around the 25 year mark — you’ll need to get a new traditional system after about 12-15 years of use.

After reading this we hope you have a better idea as to why so many Lowcountry homeowners are making the switch to geothermal this year — and why you should as well.

4 Common Mistakes To Avoid When Replacing Your Air Conditioning In Your Charleston Home

August 7th, 2019

With temperatures still quite high here in the Lowcountry, many Charleston homeowners are going through the process of replacing their air conditioning in their homes and/or businesses.

Extra long use at maximum operation this time of year puts extra stress and strain on your HVAC system and if your system is underperforming or outright stops working, moving forward with a replacement will most likely be high on your list.

Before moving forward with that new system installation, however, below are some common mistakes to avoid that can save you both time and money and possibly provide new ways of getting the most out of your new HVAC system.

1. Waiting Too Long To Replace Your HVAC

If you’re one of the lucky ones that moved forward with a replacement before your system completely breaks down, you’re already ahead of the curve and can move on to mistake number two below.

On the other side of that, if you’ve waited too long to move forward with a replacement, then you’re probably going to face some warm days/nights until you can get a Lowcountry HVAC company to come out and assess your replacement.

2. Not Doing Your HVAC Company Homework

Now if you’ve already made mistake number one above, then there’s a good chance in your rush to get a replacement that you might make mistake number two: not doing your HVAC company research.

Not all HVAC companies are the same — choosing one without doing research can lead to you getting a poor replacement or possibly even overpaying for one.

Read online reviews, ask your friends on Facebook, check out their Yelp listing and even their BBB rating.

Also make sure they’re N.A.T.E. certified and insured and licensed in the state of South Carolina.

Not doing this research can lead to more time and money wasted in the long run so be sure to not make this mistake during your replacement process.

3. Not Researching Different/New Types of HVAC Systems

Many homeowners like simplicity — they simply get the latest model of whatever system they had previously and move forward.

While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that (especially if you had good performance before the replacement) you could be missing out an opportunity to get even better results with newer types of systems.

Two types of systems that are growing in popularity here in Charleston are the ductless mini-split systems and geothermal heating and cooling systems.

The popularity around ductless systems involves eliminating the ductwork needs that plague many Lowcountry homeowners. Cleaning & replacing ductwork can be a pain, so installing a ductless system is a very desirable choice for a growing number of Charleston residents and property managers.

Geothermal heating and cooling on the other hand has the appeal of huge monthly energy savings and extra long equipment lifespans.

Using the naturally steady temperature of the ground beneath your home, a geothermal system can both cool and heat your home throughout the year, using a fraction of the electricity versus a traditional unit.

These systems also can last almost 10-15 years longer than traditional units so replacement cost and frequency goes down dramatically, saving additional thousands of dollars in the long run.

4. Not Signing Up For A Maintenance Plan

Once you’ve settled on a company and have them install your new system, it’s all about getting your money’s worth out of it — and that starts and ends with maintenance.

Signing up for a maintenance plan right away after replacement ensures that your system not only consistently performs at peak operation, but also helps ensure the full potential of your system’s lifespan.

Longer peak performance lifespans mean fewer replacements over time, saving you from having to repeat this process (and potentially making these same mistakes) more times than necessary.

We hope your HVAC replacement goes well this summer and if you avoid these mistakes above, we know you will.

HVAC Reviews: Mitsubishi’s Kumo Cloud Wireless HVAC Control App

July 24th, 2019

In last week’s post we described some of the situations and applications where ductless mini-split air conditioning systems are particularly useful and this week we’ll be reviewing an especially useful feature of those systems: cloud control & operation.

While other ductless systems on the market may have their version of cloud or remote operation, for our money the best, most-advanced, and easy-to-use is the Kumo cloud app by Mitsubishi.

What Is The Kumo Cloud Service & App?

Very simply, the Kumo cloud service allows you to control & operate your Mitsubishi ductless mini-split systems, all within one easy-to-use mobile app — which is available on both Android and iOS (Apple) devices.

kumo cloud control how it works

How Does The Kumo Cloud App Work?

Especially handy in multi-zone houses — but still used often in single-zone setups — simple wireless adapters are installed onto each ductless unit that then connects it to your kumo cloud service account (which is created prior to setup) via your home’s Wi-Fi connection.

Your Kumo cloud account has its own username and password, which allows you to log in to the app. Once logged in through the app, you can name, group, control, and program your ductless units all through a few taps on your phone.

Zone Grouping & Scheduling

As mentioned above, for those with multiple ductless mini-split systems installed you can group them together to make control even easier.

An example grouping might be “Upstairs”. By grouping together all of your upstairs zones, you can quickly adjust and turn on/off all of them at once.

You can also set those groups on a particular schedule, which allows you to optimize operations throughout the day. This scheduling can really pay off when your electric bill comes in as you can have your units operate less when you’re away — automatically.

Filter Status Reminders With Kumo Cloud

On top of all of those operational features listed above, the Kumo Cloud system also allows you to keep an eye on your ductless air filters.

We’ve mentioned several times in this blog about the importance of changing/cleaning out air filters in your HVAC system. Not only does cleaning out air filters help with your indoor air quality, it also helps your system operate more efficiently — essentially keeping the pathways clear for conditioned air to be pushed through.

With the kumo cloud app, you can actually set reminders on when to clean your air filters after so many hours of operation — meaning you’ll get a message when it should be time for the next cleaning.

Smart Assistant Compatibility

In today’s connected world, smart assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant help people automate more and more of their home devices and the Kumo Cloud is no different.

kumo cloud is now compatible with both Google Home and Amazon’s Alexa smart assistant interfaces.

The Bottom Line

Overall the Kumo Cloud is a great way to keep an eye on, automate and optimize your home’s ductless air conditioning system operation.

Getting started with it is easy and with just a few simple add-on devices you’ll be well on your way to a more automated lifestyle.

If you have any questions about the kumo cloud app or any other HVAC-related questions, feel free to contact us.

HVAC Reviews: Mitsubishi Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioners

May 7th, 2019

With the challenges that many historic Lowcountry homes and other buildings present, and the increased need for air conditioning flexibility, more area homeowners and property owners are looking into ductless air conditioning options for their HVAC needs.

Sometimes older buildings and homes in our areas just weren’t built with HVAC equipment in mind and others just have a difficult time tapping into existing ductwork.

Other times, homeowners just want a way to cut out the use of their existing ductwork because of flooding and other maintenance items that give them headaches throughout the year.

Finally, people who get new additions to their homes, add pool houses, sheds or other non-connected buildings simply want more simple, cost-effective ways to cool/heat those areas.

Despite many ductless options on the market, the most consistently installed and reliable brand/model that we’ve seen and Lowcountry residents are happy with is the Mitsubishi M-Series Ductless Mini-Split System.

So why is this particular brand and model the most popular we’ve seen?

Several reasons, actually. Here’s a rundown of the Mitsubishi M-Series and a review.

Quick Overview Of Ductless Systems

We’ve written extensively about ductless system setups and operations here in our blog, but in case you aren’t quite familiar with how they work, here’s a quick overview.

Just as it states in its name, ductless systems operate without ductwork. Each area you want cooled/heated in your home will have its own wall-mounted unit that you can operate independently.

This indoor unit is then connected to an outdoor unit via tubing that contains power lines, refrigerant lines, and condensate lines, which all serve to condition the air in your home like a traditional system would.

Multiple indoor units can run off of one outdoor unit, setting up “zones” in your home that each function independently of each other giving you granular control over each area in your home.

Personalized Comfort & Two-Way Operation

Perhaps one of the most-liked features of ductless systems is its ability to customize the comfort levels over particular parts of your home. With traditional systems, you may find a room or other area of your home to be “too warm” or “too cold”; this is taken care of with ductless systems as you can adjust each of those areas to the perfect temperature.

These adjustments can be made to cool or heat those areas as well. With particular M-Series models, you’ll be able to get two-way operation: cooling for the summertime and heating for the winter.

Year-round, customized comfort made easy with Mitsubishi.

kumo cloud wireless control for Mitsubishi ductless system review

kumo cloud Wireless Controls

Another thing that sets the Mitsubishi brand apart, is the kumo cloud wireless control feature.

With a few simple accessories, each indoor unit of yours can be wirelessly connected to your home’s WiFi, connecting them to the kumo cloud interface. You then can download the kumo cloud app on your phone or tablet giving you control over every unit in your home from essentially anywhere you have a connection to the internet.

You can then setup schedules, batch control (control multiple units at once), and even connect multiple buildings (work & home for example).

Personalized comfort in the palm of your hand.

The Bottom Line

On top of these great features, the Mitsubishi M-Series systems give you some of the highest efficiency operations on the ductless market.

Your system doesn’t have to use energy to push air around your ductwork so right away it can use less energy than a traditional system. Combined with the M-Series state-of-the-art components you can easily see how it can save you money each month.

Wrapping Things Up

After years of installing, servicing, and repairing HVAC systems in the Lowcountry, we know what works and what doesn’t for Charleston area homeowners.

The Mitsubishi M-Series Ductless Mini-Split units are one of those systems that stands above other ductless options out there and we know will work for all of your residential ductless operation needs.

3 Reasons Why You’ll Sign Up For An HVAC Maintenance Plan In 2019

April 23rd, 2019

With temperatures & humidity rising in the Lowcountry as we push toward peak summertime levels, the demand & stress on your air conditioning system will also be on the rise.

Depending on your system age and how many hours it has under its belt, heavy use during the summer can lead some systems to breakdown. Those breakdowns can be large or small in nature, again depending on the mileage and upkeep of your system.

We already discussed ways you can save money during your next HVAC service call, one of those ways being signing up for an HVAC maintenance plan.

A comprehensive air conditioning maintenance plan is always a good idea, just as it would be with any other mechanical device (like your car), but here three big reasons why you’ll definitely sign up for one this year.

1. You’re Tired Of Waiting For Service

When humidity and temperature levels are at their worst in Charleston, a few minutes without air conditioning can seem like a few hours.

Waiting for your HVAC company to arrive and fix the issue can feel even longer.

Cutting down that wait time is possible when you sign up for an annual maintenance plan, at least for most HVAC companies in Charleston.

A maintenance plan can include priority scheduling — meaning you move into a preferred queue whenever you need repair or service done.

2. You’re Tired Of Paying Full Price For Repairs

Another great benefit to signing up for an annual maintenance plan is that many companies will offer reduced costs on parts and labor.

Occasionally you’ll also get discounts on overtime rates as well, when repairs need to be done after regular business hours of the heating and air company.

3. You Want To Avoid Large Expenses

Getting an HVAC maintenance plan typically includes 1-2 annual maintenance checkups — one before the summer heat and one before the winter cold.

During those checkups, small problems can be found that would otherwise not be addressed if you hadn’t had your HVAC team there.

Those small problems or quick fixes can quickly be amplified into large problems with your system; large problems that can compound into total breakdowns. Total breakdowns, of course, will lead to larger expenses like total HVAC system replacement.

As you can see, maintenance plans for your air conditioning system aren’t only smart for extending its lifespan, but could also mean large cost savings when things go awry with your system.

When you sign up for an HVAC maintenance plan (and hopefully you will after reading this post), be sure to do your research, and you’ll be well on your way to putting your mind at ease about your system this summer.

What To Look For When Researching HVAC Contractors In Charleston

April 17th, 2019

Navigating the waters for finding the best HVAC company in Charleston can be difficult.

With our warmer climate here in the Lowcountry and the absolute need for air conditioning during the summer, there are literally dozens of HVAC contractor options in our area. A quick Google search will show you the seemingly endless number of companies out there to choose from.

Having so many options is definitely favorable for Lowcountry homeowners & business owners, but can also represent a challenge when deciding which will be the best fit for your particular HVAC setup.

To help you out with your research, here are 5 vital points to take into consideration when picking your next heating and air conditioning company.

1. Online & Offline Reviews

Upon doing your online search mentioned above, you’re going to run into a slew of review platforms offering feedback from customers of those businesses. Google, Yelp, HomeAdvisor, Facebook; there are endless places online that allow homeowners to voice their opinion, so take your time with this part of the process. Remember not to just look at quality of the reviews, but also the quantity when deciding.

If reviews aren’t giving you any clear winners, do your best to ask your friends, neighbors, colleagues or anyone else that you know that’s recently used the companies you’re eyeing. Getting direct feedback from customers can go along way and you may learn more than you might see online.

2. Licensing & Insurance

In the state of South Carolina, HVAC companies have to carry a mechanical contractor license to be in business. This is a way of protecting home and business owners so the work the company does is safe & within updated code of the state. You can easily lookup the contractor in question here.

On top of licensing, make sure the company carries enough insurance to cover any unexpected loss due to installation or service. If they don’t you could have to foot a sizeable bill if they do any damage.

3. Certifications & Manufacturer Approval

State licensing is a requirement, but to be even more sure of their expertise check out if the HVAC company’s technicians have gone through the NATE Certification. NATE stands for North American Technician Excellence. Technicians must pass a series of real-world tests & competency exams to get this certification, so this adds a layer of comfort for you when selecting a company with NATE certified technicians.

Another form of testing, each HVAC equipment manufacturer has their own way of ensuring their equipment is being installed properly. Trane’s’ Comfort Specialist program & Mitsubishi’s Diamond Contractor status are two such examples.

4. Portfolio Of Work

The proof is in the pudding. Many of those same review platforms above also offers places for customers to upload project photos, so you can take some time and look at their actual work first-hand.

In addition to this, should you know anyone who has had a new air conditioner installed recently by said company, the next time you visit their home or business, ask if you can take a look at the installation.

5. Deals, Promos & Other Offers

If you’ve made it this far and you’re about to pick from a few different HVAC companies, check out their current deals, offers or other promos. This time of year you can get great financing deals on new systems and even discounts on parts & labor when you sign up for annual maintenance plans.

We know that’s quite a lot to go over & review, but doing your due diligence and knowing more about your A/C system are key to getting a great installation or repair service, at a fair price, with the right company.
