The truth about diy hvac hacks

DIY hacks are all the rage, especially for homeowners; however, when it comes to HVAC systems, you may want to forgo the challenge for a few important reasons.

If that’s not reason enough for you to avoid testing the HVAC repair waters yourself, read on. Reason #1: You Need the Right Tools.

Does Insulation Really Help Keep Your Home Cool?

Many homeowners living in warm climates spend more money than they would like on air conditioning. Poor indoor insulation causes energy to be wasted, which pushes these costs even higher. MightyServ provides affordable insulation to maintain a cool indoor temperature when the weather is hot. The secret to successful insulation is heat flow resistance. Measured by R-value (or thermal resistance), we install the most suitable insulation for your particular property. Save Energy by Sealing Duct Work Numerous homes have inadequate airflow and leaky ductwork. This will cause rooms to be uncomfortably humid, irrespective of your thermostat settings. Our engineers might suggest sealing the ductwork in your home with metal tape, spray on sealant, or mastic. This balances the duct system and facilitates maximum airflow to every room. In addition, performing ductwork insulation in crawlspaces, basements and attics can help keep your home cool and comfortable. Regulate the Temperature by Insulating Your Attic We offer both sprayed in and blown in attic insulation. There are many benefits to blown in attic insulation, such as the use of cellulose — which is an eco friendly material. This procedure keeps your property’s structure intact, and is non invasive.

Energy Saving Technologies for Your Business

MightyServ appreciates the fact that heating, ventilation and air conditioning accounts for over 50 percent of your energy bill. In a bid to help businesses to minimize their energy consumption and increase their energy savings, we can implement any of the following energy saving technologies: Thermal Energy Storage In commercial establishments, the electricity tariff is designed in such a way that the cost per unit during peak hours (normal working hours) is much higher than off-peak rates. We can help you implement a thermal energy storage technology that makes use of affordable electricity at night and stores the cooling energy for use during peak hours, when the unit cost of electricity is highest. This is done by freezing water at night. During normal working hours, the chilled water or ice is used to cool the business premise. The energy savings attributed to thermal energy storage can be quite significant, so every business owner needs to consider implementing the technology.

Myths About Commercial HVAC Companies

There are various misconceptions that some people hold about heating and cooling companies. Such include the assumption that a large commercial HVAC company would provide better services and is therefore better. Those who’ve had sour experiences with larger firms will know that this isn’t necessarily true. However, it may be difficult for one to understand why. There are also other things that need to be noted. The Bigger The Company; the Better The Service One may be tempted into thinking that big companies do everything right. This could be due to the idea advertised by such firms that they offer better service because they have more technicians. This means more hands on the clients’ equipment. Typically, expertise about HVAC systems doesn’t flow freely in larger firms. The best firms are those that offer the same service each time they handle a client’s equipment, regardless of their company size.
