Don’t forget maintenance

When the air conditioner continues to drip, it is a common assumption that there are problems with drainage. If the drip is slight, it may be because the copper pipes are poorly insulated or other internal malfunctions. When the drip is caused by poor maintenance of the A/C unit, you should request a technician’s visit, since they will clean the filters to eliminate impurities. Also, if you are a smoker, the air is much more polluted, which adds to the regular air currents. Regardless of the problem, you should seek the help of a specialist!

Air Conditioner: Do You Need a New One?

There comes a time when the signals become too evident, and we say a change is needed. Acquire new, more efficient equipment.

Electronic devices do not last forever, and the air conditioning equipment does not either. There comes a time when the signals become too evident, so we say that maybe you need to make a change, and opt for new, more efficient equipment. In this article, we will indicate the main signs that you will have to look out for to know if you need to change your equipment.

- It turns off only a few seconds after turning it on. It is one of the most evident indicators that something is not going well. It may be due to the bad state of the fan motor, which causes problems with the thermal sensor.

- It does not cool down. If the equipment you have in your house is already antique, it is likely that there is an obstruction of the capillary tubes, which leads to a deterioration of the temperature sensor and, consequently, to stop cooling.

- It does not turn on. Multiple causes that can lead to this problem, from a damaged compressor to a failure in the transformer or an electronic board that is damaged or wet. In any case, do not waste money on repairs: it is time to change your air conditioner for a new one.

- Increase in humidity in the environment. If your air conditioner does not dehumidify correctly, there is a failure on the contact sensors or the electronic board.

These are the main signs that tell you that you should buy a new air conditioner!

The Importance of Air Conditioner Maintenance

Possible breakdowns and a bigger waste of electrical consumption, can be avoided with proper preventive and corrective maintenance.

Some of the most important maintenance work focuses on:

- The cleaning of filters, which has to be done at least once a year, since it is the key for the air that comes out to be of the best quality.

- Disinfection of the evaporator, to prevent odors when ventilating.

- External maintenance of the device, cleaning the equipment of dust and dirt.

The best time to plan for the revision and maintenance of the equipment is usually before the beginning of the hot and cold seasons, that is, when the air conditioning will be essential in your home space. The advantages of proper maintenance are many; you can save both economically and energetically because with it you can prevent breakdowns and save money.

Benefits of Impact Windows and Doors

Installing impact windows and doors brings benefits and security to your property.

As a homeowner, you have two options when it comes to protecting your property during hurricane season: hurricane shutters and impact windows. Both provide maximum protection for your windows, but which one is the best option? Although shutters are less expensive, impact windows provide many benefits.

Universal Group INC tells you all the benefits of installing impact windows. Keep reading!

Installation

Once the impact windows and doors are installed, that’s it. With hurricane shutters, you must put them on whenever there is a hurricane. Placing and removing hurricane shutters, every time we receive a hurricane warning can be a nuisance. Impact windows provide continuous protection from the moment they are installed.

Increase protection

Properly installed, they provide the highest level of protection for your home; this has to do with its manufacture. Most impact windows consist of several layers of glass and other synthetic materials that hinder breakage and penetration, which not only protects you from flying debris during a hurricane, but may also protect your home against thieves attempting to break in.

They also protect you from UV rays, have noise reduction, reduce the solar heat gain in the summer and helps retain heat in your home on a cold winter evening, which results in significant cost savings on your home electric bill. Another great benefit of installing them is that insurance companies are aware of their benefits and can offer discounts on your insurance premiums.

With the products from Universal Group INC, your property is sure to be always kept at cool temperatures. Incredibly energy-efficient as it reduces the incoming heat, they keep the cool air inside and even reduce the costs of lighting in your home by reducing air leakage.

At Universal Group INC, we have the best experts in installation of impact windows.

Impact windows and doors provide direct and indirect benefits for owners and their customers.

Aire acondicionado: ¿cómo ahorrar energía?

If a shutter system does not protect your home, this is the time to put this at the top of your list of things to do.

Hay maneras de mantenerse fresco sin encender el aire acondicionado, pero cuando las temperaturas de verano comienzan a reventar la marca de grado a diario, o la humedad hace que parezca que estás nadando a través de un plato de sopa, a veces esta utilidad se convierte en una necesidad. Mantente fresco y ahorra dinero con estos consejos para preservar energía que hoy Universal Group INC trae para ti:

Presta atención

1. Mantén el aire acondicionado bajo por la noche: durante la noche no necesitas el mismo nivel de frío que cuando estás despierto. Intenta bajar la intensidad (para que funcione menos) durante las horas de sueño o, si tu unidad tiene una, utiliza el "modo de suspensión" que reduce la salida en un temporizador.

2. Al momento de instalar, busca la ubicación indicada: los expertos recomiendan colocar el aparato de aire acondicionado en un lugar donde no pegue directamente la luz del sol, para que este no tenga que trabajar más para obtener la temperatura deseada.

Tampoco es recomendable situarlo en zonas con corrientes, por ejemplo cerca de una puerta, o de fuentes de calor. Y, debes colocarlos donde haya espacio suficiente para que circule el aire.

En Universal Group INC tenemos los mejores profesionales en instalación de aires acondicionados, contáctanos.

3. Aprovecha las horas de aire fresco: A primeras horas de la mañana o a partir de las cuatro de la madrugada la temperatura es más baja. Será entonces el momento más adecuado para abrir las ventanas y que entre el aire. Incluso, si de noche notas que la temperatura está fresca y no es necesario el uso del aire acondicionado, apágalo durante la noche y mantén las ventanas abiertas. En la mañana cuando notes la temperatura subiendo, puedes proceder a encenderlo de nuevo.

4. Mantén tu unidad: algunas tareas básicas de mantenimiento, pueden ser todas las soluciones a las necesidades de tu aire acondicionado. La limpieza de los filtros es importante; debe realizarse cada dos o tres meses, además de mantener el aparato en buen estado, evitar que consuma más. A mayor suciedad, menos rendimiento y mayor consumo. Además, evitarás la acumulación de bacterias.

5. Verifica tus conductos: asegúrate de que las áreas donde tus conductos atraviesan partes de tu hogar sin aire acondicionado (como el ático), estén aisladas adecuadamente. Esto mantendrá el aire lo más fresco posible.

Sigue estos pasos: pronto estarás ahorrando energía y ayudando a nuestro planeta.
