Maybe you have already heard of the mandates set by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding your home’s air conditioner refrigerant. Or maybe you haven’t. Either way, since our Apex Air professionals are getting asked these questions more frequently from Washington homeowners, we thought sharing them and their answers may be beneficial to you.

Summer is here. On the most scorching of days, the last thing you’ll want to worry about is your HVAC system breaking down. That’s why you should schedule an inspection and tune-up for your air conditioner as part of your regular cleaning. You might not want to spend the money now, but a costly repair far outweighs the financial burden of an inspection.

Air conditioning isn’t exactly a stimulating topic to bring up at parties. It’s not something most people think about too excessively. But at Apex Air, we’re obsessed with it! We want to share with you some things that you may not have known about your air conditioner (AC). We’ve made this list to help you become an informed consumer and get the best out of your purchase.

A major part of your health relies on getting a good night’s sleep. That’s why it’s not just important to run your air conditioner during the hot summer days. You also need to keep your home comfortably cool at night as well.

Apex Air understands that air conditioning is crucial for comfort in your daily life here in Washougal, WA. A well maintained AC unit, with yearly inspections and monthly filter changes, can last up to 10 or 15 years.

At Apex Air, we’re often asked, “Do air conditioners kill off mold?” This is a common misconception. A properly maintained and functioning air conditioner (AC) can decrease the likelihood of mold growth.

Seasonal allergies are a burden for many. Air conditioners, or ACs, when properly maintained, can noticeably reduce symptoms for allergy sufferers.

It’s normal for your air conditioner to create some noise when running—that simply means it’s working. Although older units are typically louder than newer ones, all air conditioning noises are not the same.

An air conditioner, just like a car, needs regular maintenance and service to run efficiently. At Apex Air, we recommend getting your air conditioning unit serviced and cleaned once a year.
