CopperTheftEver since the price of copper rose in the mid 2000s, copper theft has been an increasing problem, especially in areas like ours where many people have central air conditioning systems that have outdoor condensers.

They take it to metal recyclers and pocket the money, and homeowners are left with a nonfunctional heat pump or air conditioner. If your condenser sits on the ground, you’re especially vulnerable. However, you can take steps to deter this theft: Read More

Man Looking into Air DuctMost of the year in Arizona, our homes are closed up against the weather – to keep the cold air out (like today!) or the cold air in (remember August?). In this enclosed environment, you breathe the same air over and over.

The home heating and cooling system “breathes” air in and out, just like we do. The difference is that we don’t recycle our air. If the air circulating inside a home is dirty, it stays that way. Thankfully, there is a way to ensure that your home air quality stays squeaky clean. Duct cleaning by a certified professional HVAC technician will not only help guarantee that your air ducts are cleaned in the correct and safe way, but it will also bring other benefits. Read on to get the scoop on why everyone should keep their air ducts clean and pristine: Read More
