We Know Macomb Inside And Out
We know Macomb like the back of our hand, and there are several considerations when dealing with the newer brick homes commonly seen in Macomb Township and the coastal homes on Lake St. Clair seen in large parts of Macomb County.
Our technicians have expertise in serving Macomb homes, working with customers from Eastpointe up to Macomb Township. In the southern part of the county, the homes are older, spaced closer together, and have older HVAC systems, meaning our focus is typically on finding adjustments and modifications to the system and ductwork to improve efficiency. Further north in the new construction areas such as New Baltimore and Macomb Township, our focus is on servicing the existing systems to maintain their efficiency. Most of these systems have SEER ratings of 22-30, meaning they must be serviced at least two times per year to maintain their efficiency ratings.
Below, we have included our best practices for maintaining HVAC systems in both the newer brick homes seen in Macomb Township and homes near St. Clair Shores as seen near I-94.
HVAC for Newer Brick Homes
There are many newer brick homes in Macomb, especially in Macomb Twp. The following section highlights some considerations for HVAC systems in newer homes.
Newer Brick Homes Require Lower Repair Frequency, But Repairs are More Important
Because newer homes have better insulation and more modern system installs, in many cases the repair frequency can be lower. However, these complex systems require maintenance to be performed periodically to avoid larger, more expensive system repair jobs.
Macomb residents in homes like these often opt for our all-in-one heating and cooling maintenance completed once per year for peace of mind and to simplify their repairs.
Larger Open Layouts Effect Size and Layout Considerations
Many of the most common homes designs in Macomb feature open floor plans, which affect the size and layout of an HVAC system for optimal performance. You may consider utilizing several HVAC zones in the home to save on HVAC bills.
Many customers choose us for their HVAC installation as we focus heavily on optimizing your system for efficiency.
Advanced Technology Compatibility is Available for Newer Systems
While many Macomb residents have newer HVAC systems, many are not taking advantage of technology such as smart thermostats or zone control systems. Optimizing will reduce wear and tear on your system leading to more efficient heating and cooling and lowering maintenance costs.
This is why many in Macomb have us perform AC maintenance periodically.
A Higher-than-Average Cooling Cost Index Indicates Cooling Your Home Will Be More Expensive
While cooling homes in Macomb does cost more than most areas in Michigan, we work to keep those costs as low as possible while keeping your home cool for the summer. Moisture from the lake raises humidity which raises cooling costs during the summer.
Many people opt for a seasonal AC service to keep their HVAC system operating as efficiently as possible for the summer months.
HVAC for Homes Near Lake St Clair
For homes near the shore of Lake St Clair, lake winds and the added humidity from the lake will change best practices for proper care of your HVAC system. This section details best practices for doing so.
Increased Humidity From Lake St Clair Effects Indoor Air Quality
In many cases, increased humidity caused by the proximity of Macomb to Lake St Clair can cause your HVAC system to operate at lower efficiency and can even reduce indoor air quality. Humidity may reduce air quality due to wear on the system, as well as creating an environment where mold or mildew may grow.
For homes near the lake, we recommend air quality testing to ensure your home is filled with clean air.
Fluctuating Temperatures and Humidity Creates Energy Efficiency Concerns
If you’re like most people, you want your home to be as energy-efficient as possible. Being near the lake causes fluctuating temperatures and high humidity levels, which in turn hurts your HVAC unit’s efficiency. The system has to work to remove moisture from the air on top of cooling the air. This can cause excess wear and tear if not tended to and may increase your heating costs.
On average, the closer the home to Lake St. Clair, the more often the AC & heating units will need repair/replacement.
This is why many choose to have an efficiency max AC maintenance performed by our technicians.
Moisture from the Lake Causes Corrosion Risks
When winds carry moisture from the lake into Macomb, and over time the build-up will cause corrosion in your system. Corrosion increases wear and tear and in some cases will require a new system to be installed. Our technicians notice this most prominently in homes on the southeastern side of Macomb, closest to the lake.
Many people choose to have corrosion coating put onto their system with one of our heating maintenance services.
