Keep Your Pets Cool This Summer

During Charleston summers, it’s not only important to keep yourself cool, but you must also consider your pets, particularly when they spend a lot of time outside. Here are four tips for keeping your pets healthy and cool this summer.

Touch the pavement. If you can’t keep your hand on the sidewalk for five seconds, it’s too hot for your pets’ paws.

Keep them hydrated. If your dog or cat plays outside frequently, make sure they have access to clean, fresh water for drinking. A kiddy pool full of water for playtime can keep them from becoming overheated, too.

Consider a cooling pad. Purchasing a cooling pad for pets outside can give them a safe haven when the sun is out.

Bring them inside. Your home is (ideally) air conditioned to perfection. On very warm days, invite your pets inside to stay cool, even if they are normally outdoor pets.

Need to make sure your home is cool this summer for both you and your four-legged friends? Call the expert HVAC team at LimRic Plumbing, Heating & Air at (843) 620-6810 today for a routine maintenance appointment before the summer heat sets in.

Common Questions: What Is a Heat Pump?

Our team at LimRic receives many questions from homeowners and business owners everyday. Today, we want to answer: What is a heat pump?

A heat pump is part of your HVAC system. Unlike a furnace (which serves a similar purpose), a heat pump is powered by electricity, and it moves air from the inside to the outside and vice versa. Contrary to popular belief, the heat pump actually works for both cooling and heating your home. Its main function is to transfer warm air outside in the summer and inside in winter.

Because it is simply transferring heat, instead of creating it, a heat pump is one of the most efficient ways to regulate your home’s or office’s temperature.

How to Prevent Common HVAC Issues

Throughout our years of experience as one of Charleston’s most trusted HVAC companies, we’ve come to understand the most common air conditioning problem areas, and we know how to prevent and fix them. Now is the time to schedule a maintenance appointment for your HVAC system before the summer heat kicks in.

Drain Lines: Debris often gets trapped and clogs drain lines. Once clogged, drain line condensation may cause extensive water damage to your home or business. Keeping these lines clear is essential to your system’s performance, too. During a routine maintenance call, our technicians will clear drain lines and replace them if necessary.

Fuses: A burnt, damaged, or loosened fuse means a broken air conditioner. Our central air repair technicians always check fuses and replace them when needed during our routine maintenance appointments.

Capacitors: Damaged or burned out capacitors will need to be replaced to restore power to your air conditioning’s components. Let our central air repair technicians check your capacitors on a routine inspection before your unit stops working.

Relays: Relays act as switches that automatically shift to “on” or “off” directing varying components to do as they are told, dependent upon your home’s temperature. It is common for relays to wear down over time or to become accidentally stuck, causing your unit to run continually or not turn on at all when the air temperature rises. Expert maintenance technicians can replace faulty relays before they cause problems.

Maintain Your HVAC Unit for Peak Performance All Year Long

Charleston is hot and humid and even our winter months have warm days. We rely on our HVAC units to keep us cool in the summer months and warm on those chilly days. All year round, it’s important to keep your unit maintained so that it’s ready for the sweltering heat or the unexpected cold snap. Check out three reasons regular HVAC maintenance is important.

Fixing Issues Before They Arise: No one likes an HVAC emergency. Regular maintenance and inspections ensure that problems are fixed before they cause a headache.
Staying Efficient: Having a technician check your unit for clogs and leaks will enable the unit to run as efficiently as possible.
Saving Money in the Long Run: Fixing problems before they become complicated ensures that you’re simply repairing your unit instead of having to purchase a new one. Proper maintenance guarantees the longevity of your air conditioning system.

For maintenance, twenty-four-hour emergency service, and new systems, give LimRic Plumbing, Heating, and Air a call at (843) 620-6810.
