Climate Considerations
Redmond experiences a unique, variable climate where cool, damp winters transition into mild but increasingly unpredictable summers. While average summer temperatures hover around 67.5°F, heat spikes can put significant strain on older or inefficient cooling systems. Because our regional weather patterns fluctuate, having a system that is properly sized and maintained is critical to ensuring consistent comfort and energy efficiency throughout the year.
AC Services Tips
Schedule an annual AC tune-up in the spring to identify potential issues before the first heatwave hits.
Change your air filters every 1-3 months to improve airflow and keep your energy bills low.
Keep the area around your outdoor condenser unit clear of debris, tall grass, and foliage to ensure proper heat dissipation.
Use a programmable or smart thermostat to optimize your cooling schedule and avoid wasting energy when you are away.
Always hire a licensed and insured technician to handle refrigerant issues or electrical repairs to ensure safety and warranty compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does AC repair typically cost?
Costs vary based on the specific mechanical failure, the age of your system, and the parts required. A professional technician will perform a diagnostic test to provide an accurate estimate before starting work.
Why is my AC running but blowing warm air?
This is often caused by a dirty air filter, a refrigerant leak, or a frozen evaporator coil. If your system is not cooling, it is best to turn it off and call a professional to prevent further compressor damage.
Is it better to repair an old AC unit or replace it?
If your unit is over 10-15 years old and requires frequent, expensive repairs, replacement is often more cost-effective. A new, high-efficiency system can significantly lower your long-term cooling bills.
How long does a central AC system typically last?
With regular professional maintenance, a standard central air conditioning system usually lasts between 15 and 20 years. Signs of failure include rising repair costs, uneven cooling, and unusual noises.
What SEER rating should I look for in this climate?
For the Redmond area, a system with a SEER2 rating of 16 or higher is recommended to balance energy efficiency with the moderate cooling demands of our region.
How often should my AC be serviced?
We recommend an annual AC tune-up. This includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, and testing system performance to ensure maximum efficiency.
How do I know what size AC unit my home needs?
Proper sizing is determined by a Manual J load calculation, which accounts for your home's square footage, insulation, and window orientation. Oversized units cycle too quickly, leading to poor humidity control.
How can I lower my cooling bills during the summer?
Improve efficiency by keeping filters clean, using ceiling fans to circulate air, keeping blinds closed during the hottest part of the day, and ensuring your ductwork is properly sealed.
What is the difference between central AC, ductless mini-splits, and heat pumps?
Central AC uses existing ductwork to cool the whole home, while ductless mini-splits offer zone-specific control. Heat pumps are highly efficient systems that can both heat and cool your home.
What happens during a professional AC installation?
A professional installation includes removing the old unit, sizing the new equipment, performing necessary ductwork modifications, and ensuring all electrical and refrigerant connections meet local building codes.
