The best time to ensure the performance of your air conditioning is before you need it. Regular maintenance keeps this important home system operating at top performance. Every summer, it gets a real workout. And after resting through the winter months, it might need a little TLC. Now is the perfect time to protect your investment and secure a spot on your Rodenhiser HVAC technician's schedule.

The first day of summer isn't far away. After a long and cold winter, that's a real relief. But if summer's first surge of heat finds your air conditioning in need of attention, you might be in trouble.

Central air conditioner units tend to operate safely and problem free for many years, especially if they're treated to regular preventive maintenance. But with summer 2016 coming up soon, you'll want to find any potential problems and nip them in the bud.

The sweltering summer heat has apparently settled in for a while. That means air conditioners throughout Holden MA are really getting a workout. And for people whose systems aren't exactly up to snuff, it can mean miserable temperatures indoors as well as out. Maybe it's time for a new system to make you, your home and your energy bills happier.

If you have ever watered a flower garden with a leaky hose, you probably watched much of the water leak out before getting to the flowers. Your home air ducts work in the same fashion as a garden hose. If it isn't sealed, warm or cold air leaks away before coming through your registers.

If your ductwork is leaking, you're losing money. You spend your money on fuel to cool or heat your home and, before it reaches your indoor space, leaks in ductwork allows some of that cooled or heated air to escape – which means your money is escapes, too.

Even if you've just upgraded to a highly efficient A/C system, it may come up short if your ducting system isn't functioning properly. Duct sealing is a great way to keep your home temperate and your A/C functioning the way it should.

Most homes have leaky ductwork to some degree, and that reduces air quality while costing you comfort and money. In an average home, about 30 percent of conditioned air is lost to leaks, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. But Rodenhiser offers Holden MA homeowners an effective and affordable solution: Aeroseal.

Leaks in your ductwork cost money, stress your air conditioner and can even lead to allergy flares. The network of air passageways that runs through your home isn't exactly an aesthetic feature, either. It's hidden inside walls, crawlspaces, and attics. So unlike a plumbing leak that leaves a trail of water, a duct leak might go unnoticed for years.

Ready to install a new air conditioning system? A ductless air conditioning system is an option to consider. It is a flexible, affordable alternative to ducted central A/C or window units. The benefits of ductless air conditioning show why it is a serious contender for keeping your space cool.
