There seems to be some bad advice circulating around the internet about shading your air conditioning condenser for increased efficiency and output. While there is some truth to a condenser being more efficient while shaded, the below pictures are examples of how NOT to do it. In these examples the above ambient temperature discharge air from the top of the condenser will then recirculate into the sides of the unit causing unneeded stress, increased energy usage, and decreased temperature output.

In short... please do not do this.

With the upcoming predictions of heavy snowfall coupled with strong winds, always remember to ensure the snow is not blocking the exhaust and intake of your high efficiency furnace.

Even with small accumulations, the high wind factor may cause large snow drifts covering vents.

If necessary, carefully shovel large accumulations of snow away to avoid disruption of your heating system.

Stay safe and comfortable this holiday season!

Should you cover your air conditioner over the winter?

The short answer is NO.

Your air conditioner is designed and built to withstand the elements. Completely covering you A/C unit is actually going to promote mold and corrosion as well as attract critters and insects.

When and how should you cover your air conditioner?

If you have a lot of trees nearby, during the fall it can be beneficial to cover just the top with a breathable mesh. These are readily available at many home improvement stores or online. During the winter months, if above the A/C unit is prone to icicles, it may be in your best interest to cover the top with something ridged like a wooden board. Falling ice can damage the unit, especially fan blades. If covering the A/C with any non breathable material, be sure to only cover no more than the top 1/3.

FURNACE ODORS
Furnace odors range from a momentary and even nostalgic smell that are of little to no risk but can also be a warning of a very inconvenient and even dangerous situation.
If you encounter a strange unidentifiable smell from the furnace that continues after a couple heating cycles it is in your best interest to have your system diagnosed.
The following is a list and description of the most common furnace smells, what they could mean, and what should be done.

BURNING DUST
The most common furnace odor is burning dust and is typically not anything to worry about. This is going to occur after the heating system has sat dormant for months. When the furnaces is started after the summer months, the dust that has built up on your heat exchanger burns off creating a familiar odor that should dissipate after a heating cycle or two.

MUSTY/HUMID ODORS
It’s not rare for your furnace to give off a humid or musty smell at the beginning of each heating season. This is more common for system with air conditioning. The system may have a buildup of moisture from the A/C and it can cause a damp, musty odor. This smell should be eliminated after a few heating cycles to dry up the moisture.

STALE ODORS
A dirty furnace filter can create strange organic smells. As the furnace filter becomes increasingly soiled it is becoming contaminated by different organic odors found within your home. Aside from preventing the necessary airflow needed to properly circulate clean, filtered air thoughout the home, it is also allowing stale smells to linger longer.

CHEMICAL NOXIOUS ODORS
When you smell an uncommon chemical or noxious odor that you have not experienced from the heating system, it may be a sign of a cracked heat exchanger. This is a very serious issue that requires immediate attention.
A cracked or damaged heat exchanger has the potential to introduce dangerous carbon monoxide (CO) fumes into your home. Although sometimes accompanied by other odors, CO is odorless and very deadly. If you suspect this, immediately shut the heating system off and call an HVAC professional. We also always recommend having at least one CO detector on each level on your home.

ROTTEN EGG ODORS
This is commonly from natural gas. Natural gas, which is naturally odorless, has an additive to make it produce a strong rotten egg smell. It is not uncommon to get a small hint of natural gas each time your furnace starts but if this smell lingers for more than a few moments, shut the gas valve off and ventilate the area. Call your gas utility company to identify where the gas is coming from.

ACRIS METTALLIC/PLASTIC ODORS
Acrid metallic or plastic odors are usually an indication that electrical wiring or components are worn and overheating or have completely failed. Majority of the time, this smell is the protective coating on electrical wires or circuit boards burning off. This is another case where imminent danger could occur. If you believe you smell a metallic odor that could be related to electrical malfunction in your heating system, shut the furnace off at its circuit breaker and call a licensed mechanical contractor to diagnose and repair your system.

Spring is coming!
With the warmer weather predicted for this upcoming week we cannot help but to get excited for spring.
With that in mind, here are a few tips for the upcoming A/C season.

1) Inspect your A/C condenser for objects that may have been placed near it over the winter or for any debris. If you keep your A/C covered, be sure to remove it.
2) Insure your circuit breaker is in the "on" position as well as the outside electrical disconnect.
3) Check the furnace filter and replace if needed.
4) Turn your whole home humidifier to the off and/or summer positions.

To help avoid the yearly service rush during our first heat wave, we always recommend testing your A/C on the first day we reach 70+ degrees.
