Canyon country home air conditioning: preventative maintenance

One of the most important services an HVAC company can provide is preventative maintenance. Even if you have an AC system that seems to be running perfectly day after day, it may be time for you to have a certified technician come and check the system over. He will be able to do many little, inexpensive jobs that could keep you from ever needing to make a service call after a total breakdown. Preventative maintenance is one of the best ways to keep your home comfortable all year around. For example, your drain lines could be leaking slightly, making it harder for the HVAC system to drain away the excess water that is collected while it is running, especially in very hot weather.

However, a preventative maintenance call for your Canyon Country home air conditioning system could catch this leak and repair it while it is still small and inconsequential. When you work with a HVAC company they

Energy simulation software

EnergyPlus and OpenStudio Plug-in have been updated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE’s high-tech energy saving systems measure the energy flow of heating, cooling, and lighting in buildings. The Google SketchUp OpenStudio Plug-in provides a user-friendly interface for interactive building designs, highlighting energy use in action, while the EnergyPlus generates a whole building energy simulation. These models can work in conjunction with one another, or independently, amplifying the already impressive technology. The latest versions also calculate the carbon dioxide concentrations and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning capacity of a given space. With no charge for download, building owners are advised to take advantage of the EnergyPlus or OpenStudio Plug-in software to further enhance the quality of heating and cooling use, leading ultimately to energy savings.
