  • ​​It’s normal to hear a little bit of noise coming from your heating and cooling equipment as it works. But if you hear loud or abnormal buzzing, whirring, or humming, it might indicate a potential problem - a broken fan motor, loose components, or other issues within the unit.

    Diagnostics and repairs should be performed by trained professionals due to potential dangers. If your HVAC is making strange noises, contact us.

  • Most HVAC systems have a life expectancy of around 10-20 years, and sometimes all a unit needs is a trusty repair. But if your unit has been around for more than 10 years, its cost efficiency has significantly decreased, or it needs frequent refrigerant refills, these are signs it may be time for a replacement. Contact Richardsons for a consultation.

  • Here are a few tips:

    Make sure all vents are open and clear of obstructions.

    Perform regular maintenance checks and listen for abnormal sounds.

    Consider installing a programmable thermostat so you can adjust your air conditioning while you’re away from home. Many can be controlled through an app on your phone.

    Turn up the temperature a few degrees and turn on the ceiling or portable fans to help circulate air.

  • A ductless mini-split system consists of units mounted on the ceiling, wall, or floor that connect to an outdoor compressor. The system is an efficient alternative to central air. Ductless mini-split air conditioners and heaters work similarly to central heating and cooling but do not require any ductwork in your home.
