What’s Cooler Than Being Cool? Carrier’s Cool Cash Rebate Special!
We are all looking for ways to save money and stretch our budget, and rebates are a great way to do so with Carrier’s Cool Cash. Now is your time to get Cool Cash rebates up to $1,650 with 0% financing on qualified home comfort systems from Carrier, the proven innovator in the heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration industries since 1902. Being more efficient with your air conditioning and heating, means spending less on it.
Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc’s promotion offers homeowners a rebate for purchasing a qualifying Carrier product or a qualifying unit and control. That means if you are looking to upgrade your HVAC system, you could be eligible to receive money back. Don’t miss out on this cost-reducing special that provides efficiency, reliability, and savings!
Purchase a qualifying heating or cooling product before Cool Cash ends! Rebates valid until November 15, 2018. Equipment must be installed and rebate claimed before December 15, 2018, by 6 p.m CST. To capitalize on savings. You may even qualify for financing options, as well. Contact your local Carrier experts at Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc for complete details on all our rebate and financing options.
How Much Money Can I Get Back?
The amount you will receive in the rebate depends on the system’s SEER rating – or how the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) rates the energy efficiency of the system. A product with a higher SEER rating means the more energy efficient it is, and the higher the rebate.
Be sure you are purchasing a system that has qualifying SEER rating, not just a unit. Replacing only the outdoor unit and leaving the existing evaporator coil will provide an unknown efficiency level, which would disqualify you for any utility rebates and Cool Cash.
Purchase a qualifying heating or cooling product before Cool Cash ends to get in on the savings. You may even qualify for financing options, as well. Turn to your local Carrier expert for complete details on all our rebate and financing options

HVAC Safety After a Hurricane
If your HVAC system sustained potential threatening winds or was possibly damaged due to inland flooding, it will NEED to be inspected by a professional and possibly repaired or replaced. We ask you please do not power it on yourself.
Major things to consider following a destructive hurricane are power surges, debris, flooding, and refrigerant damage. If floodwater has moved into either the indoor or outdoor units of a split system even by a small amount, there is a potential for refrigerant leaks. The system will then require a major repair or full replacement. If the refrigerant system remains intact after the flood, the entire system should be cleaned, dried and disinfected. You should also have our professionals check the unit’s electrical and refrigeration connections, including all control circuits.
Give us a call today and one of our local experts will assess your damage.

Hurricane Season: How to Prepare & Protect Your HVAC Unit
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th with August and September usually being the most active months. As we approach this time of the year, here are a few tips for preparing and protecting your HVAC unit and home in case of a storm.
Prepare for the worst. Make sure your unit is secure and covered. Tighten the bolts and use hurricane straps to hold down your unit in case of high winds. Covering your unit is equally important. Strong winds can blow debris into your yard. Large branches and objects not tied down can damage your unit. To avoid damage, cover your unit with a tarp or even a plywood box.
If you are in an area that floods, water damage could be a potential hazard. Raise your unit to a higher elevation.
Finally, go ahead and cool your home. With severe weather comes power outages. Turn your AC down a few degrees lower than you would normally. Close all windows, blinds and doors to keep the cool air in. As the storm approaches, you will need to turn off the electricity to the unit or unplug it to avoid lighting strikes and electrical surges.
Once the storm has passed, and you have evaluated your unit for damage, turn your system on. Storms bring in high moisture conditions in which mold grows. Restarting your unit as soon as possible prevents this from occurring.
If you discover damage to your system, call a professional to inspect the unit and make repairs. Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc. is available for all of your HVAC emergencies.
Is Your HVAC Unit Leaking Refrigerant?
Your HVAC unit has been working hard all Summer long. Have you scheduled a Fall check-up to make sure your system made it through the heat unscathed? Paying attention to your unit and its performance can be the key to detecting issues early, preventing damage and avoiding expensive repairs.
One easily missed problem is a refrigerant leak. Loose rubber seals, rusted valve stems and general wear and tear on your system can cause this issue. If your system has copper tubing, pin hole leaks could be a potential problem. A naturally forming acid, Formic, can eat away at this tubing causing your system to lose refrigerant.
How do you know if your HVAC system has sprung a leak? Look for these common indicators.
- Bubbling/ Hissing Sound | If your outdoor system isn’t running, but you can hear strange bubbling or hissing sounds coming from the unit, that could be a sign of a major leak.
- Humidity Indoors & Lack of Cool Air | If your home is feeling warm during the heat of the day and your air conditioner cannot keep up, a refrigerant leak could be the culprit. A leak not only comprises a unit’s ability to cool a home, it also reduces its dehumidifying ability. Your home will feel sticky and hot.
- Higher Utility Bill | Because your system is working harder and running for longer periods of time trying to cool your home, you will see a spike in your utility bill.
- Ice on Evaporator Coils | One visible sign of a leak is ice on your evaporator coil. You will see frost forming on your outdoor coil—even during the heat of the day.
It is important to catch this issue early to avoid costly repairs. Repairs could include replacing a condenser coil, replacing an evaporator coil or recharging your system.
If your system is showing signs of a refrigerant leak, please contact your local comfort experts at

Why Should You Install a Programmable Thermostat?
From Nest to Honeywell systems, the demand for programmable thermostats is on the rise. Find out the benefits of having this type of system in your home.

Why do Compressors Fail?
On most days, our HVAC systems run like a well-oiled machine. All components working together seamlessly to keep your home cool and comfortable. What happens when one of those components stops working—specifically the compressor?
Essentially the heart of your HVAC system, the compressor is located in your outdoor unit. It works hard to circulate the refrigerant through the coils of your unit while also applying energy to the coolant. Without a working compressor, your home will not have cool air. During the Spring/Summer season, especially in Florida, the compressor works overtime to keep your home air conditioned.
There are several factors that can cause the compressor in your HVAC unit to fail.
• Lack of Lubricant
• Overheating- This can be caused by dirty coils, low suction pressure or a low charge.
• Electrical Issues
• Bad Capacitor
• Low Voltage
• Electrical Spike
Signs of compressor issues include: an odd noise at the start-up of your HVAC unit, ice on the coils or loss of cool air in your home. If you start experiencing any of these issues, contact your local comfort experts at Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc. immediately. Your HVAC system cannot run efficiently and effectively without it’s heart.
