Weather Planning With Your Air Conditioner

/0 Comments/in /by

It’s been quite warm the last few days, and Adam’s Air have been getting quite a few phone calls, and the number one item on the list has something to do with the air conditioner.  Not cooling right, not shutting off, not working at all.  Well, we have some tips that we can do with a check up to help your HVAC work in the most proper way.

There are a couple of items you can do to make your system ready to go for the hot weather.  Make sure you change your filters every three to four months.  The more debris that’s in the filter the harder your system works, the higher your bill gets!  If you think your air conditioner is not working the way it should, don’t wait on it, call us, we will get out to your home and make everything better and cooler.

A couple of items to think about if your system isn’t cooling.

-Detecting Duct Leaks

Leaky duct works is a problem.  Leaky ductwork in a forced air heating and cooling system creates  problems.  The duct flows cool air from the unit to each room in your house where ever there is a vent.  If your works are leaking the system is pushing that cool air through the leaks into the attic and outside along with the money in each months electric bill!  An attic in the summer time can be 120-150 degrees, and that cool pricey air is going through the leaking duct works and that’s when you can wave your money goodbye.  The return and supply ducts are also pressure balanced, and if there are leaks, that nice cool air is shooting through your attic and at the same time that 150 degress hot air is coming into the duct works and then into your home.

-Blower Door Test

Adam’s Air and Duct Works can come out to your house and check your house and ducts for leaks with a blower door test.  Basically what happens with this test is a large fan, pulls the air out of the house through the blower door and with our equipment we can pinpoint outside air leaking through holes and cracks.  We locate the gaps and provide the tools to seal them.

 

At Adam’s Air and Ductworks, we are all certified to perform this test.  We are willing and able to help fix your HVAC for the hot summers and cold winters ahead. We are not a sales company, we are a repair company!  Call us today!

Indoor Air Quality- Breathe Easy, Breathe Healthier

/0 Comments/in /by

We spend almost 90% of our lives indoors. Household cleaners, aerosols, sprays, pollens, molds, allergens, airtight homes, smoke and viruses are causes of poor indoor air quality. Studies have shown that the air inside our home can be even more polluted than outdoor air. The rates of asthma and airborne-related illnesses are on the rise. Many allergists and physicians are recommending air cleaning products for their patients. The Electronic Air Cleaner is a unique patented technology. It helps keep your indoor air cleaner. It’s safe, reliable and effective in removing key contaminates from indoor air.

 

The air filters you buy at Wal Mart or your big box hardware stores are ok,  but not the best.  The top filter is good but it can actually can block air flow to your house, and if you open your return and look at it it will look concave because the air current cant get through and the force of the air is bending the filter in.   The bottom one is too thin so it’s not really holding any pollens, dust, smoke, and viruses.

But you can invest with Adam’s Air and purchase our (EAC), or ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER.   Electronic Air Cleaners are safe, reliable, convenient and designed with features to fit your needs. It lets you take cleaner indoor air for granted. It has the features, performance and convenience you should require for your home. We have a wide range of sizes to fit any heating or cooling ventilation system. Ask your dealer for further information and sizing for your system.

The install doesn’t take long at all, and it installs in your HVAC system in your home.  It runs off a 24 volt supply that also hooks up to your HVAC.  This gives the filter a small charge which attracts all the pollens and molds and viruses, which in turns helps you to breathe better, cleaner air, and hopefully less money spent on doctors and medicine.   You change out the media every four months that might take you a total of five minutes are less.  Breathe cleaner air with less worry.

Hot Soup for a Cold Day

baked+potato+soup+2.jpg (726×518)

El Nino has been pleasant to some and others it has left misery with the warm too hot weather and then back to the cold and windy and wet, snowy weather like this morning. A few years ago I was wanting something warm to eat on a day like this. I thought I would try and pull together stuff to make a soup. Now I will be the first to admit, I AM A SOUP FAN! I came up with a cream of potato soup which is very easy to make, and with a bit of time and trial and error it will be easy for you. So here is what you need.

Dice up 6-7 slices of good bacon, and saute in a pan. cooking until a bit crispy. Take out and place on paper towel. Leave just a bit of the bacon grease in the pot because it is going to help and flavor the veggies you are getting ready to cut. Dice up 3 whole carrots, 3 stalks of celery, and one medium onion. Place into medium heated pan and start cooking on this yummy goodness!

Take your spuds peel them, cut them into sticks, then dice them, then place in pan with all the other veggies and cook them for five minutes or so. Potatoes need salt and plenty of it. I use salt with no sodium, or sea salt and then freshly ground pepper and plenty of that also. Now add at least 6-8 cups of low sodium chicken or veggie broth to the pot. Now here is where I change it. I put milk in the pot instead maybe half milk have broth., Bring everything to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. After that I take a ladle of the liquid and place in a bowl, then sprinkle some flour into the hot mixture and whisk it until smooth, keep doing this until thick then pour it back into the pot of broth. Now another option you may do is to place some good Cajun seasoning into the pot or since only a couple of us in the family like it with a kick, we lease that out and place the big jug of Louisiana Hot Sauce on the table. I also dump a can of sweet corn in the pot too.

Now you can do one or two things. You can either ladle soup into a blender and bend it so the veggies are smaller, or do what I do, get a potato smasher and get after it. I enjoy a more hardy soap so i like it a bit more chunky. Let it simmer on low for about 10 to 20 minutes. In the mean time grate your favorite cheese and pull out some sour cream if you like. You can make some good cornbread or toast some ciabatta bread for the soup.Get some bowls ladle some soup into them. Cheese it, bacon it, sour cream it, say a blessing and warm your body and family up!
