At Pearce Heating & A/C, we’re committed to helping homeowners in Redmond, Union Hill-Novelty Hill, Sammamish, Overlake, Kirkland, and Bellevue maintain comfortable and efficient homes. Here are some valuable tips and tricks for your HVAC system:

Air Conditioning Installation

1. Size matters: Ensure your AC unit is properly sized for your home to maximize efficiency.
2. Consider energy efficiency ratings: Look for SEER ratings of 15 or higher for optimal performance.
3. Don’t forget about proper insulation: It can significantly impact your AC’s effectiveness.

Electrical Repair and Service

1. Regular inspections: Schedule annual electrical inspections to catch potential issues early.
2. Upgrade old wiring: If your home is more than 40 years old, consider upgrading the electrical system.
3. Install GFCI outlets: These can prevent electrical shocks in areas prone to moisture.

AC Repair & HVAC Installation

1. Change filters regularly: This simple task can improve efficiency and air quality.
2. Keep outdoor units clear: Remove debris and trim vegetation around your AC unit.
3. Consider a programmable thermostat: It can help save energy and maintain consistent temperatures.

Regional Considerations for the Greater Seattle Area

1. Humidity control: Our mild climate can sometimes lead to indoor humidity issues. Consider a whole-home dehumidifier.
2. Heat pump options: Due to our moderate temperatures, heat pumps can be an efficient choice for both heating and cooling.
3. Ductless systems: These can be ideal for older homes in areas like Kirkland or Bellevue that may lack existing ductwork.

Remember, regular maintenance is key to keeping your HVAC system running smoothly. Don’t hesitate to contact Pearce Heating & A/C for all your heating, cooling, and electrical needs in the Greater Seattle area.
