Macomb sits in an area with a diverse range of home styles and climate considerations because of the proximity of the homes to Lake St. Clair and the presence of newly constructed brick homes. Our technicians are trained specifically for Macomb homes and deal with the special challenges of AC repair and maintenance in Macomb on a daily basis. Below, we have highlighted some of the reasons serving homes in Macomb is unique to surrounding areas.
Brick has a high thermal mass, meaning that it easily absorbs and stores heat energy. During the summer, brick will absorb heat during the day and release the heat at night, which causes the interior of the home to remain cooler. The heat is released at night due to the distinct drop in temperature because of Macomb’s northern location. However, if the HVAC system is not properly calibrated to the slow release of the heat stored in the bricks, the home may retain too much heat. The slow release of heat can affect indoor humidity levels. In all AC repair and maintenance jobs, we ensure the system is properly calibrated to the thermal mass of the brick.
Newer brick homes are typically built with the latest materials for insulation and energy efficiency. This insulation, typically found in the walls, floors, and roof, reduces the heat or air conditioning that leaves the home. Because it does not take as large of a system to cool these homes, our technicians verify that the system is the proper size for your home. If it isn’t, the system is most likely cycling too often, leading to inconsistent temperatures throughout the home. Approximately 25%-30% of homes in Macomb have oversized AC units.
In newer homes, especially those made of brick, tight air sealing is a priority in the build process. While this is a positive in that the home can be cooled more efficiently, Macomb homeowners should take care that the ventilation, moisture management, and HVAC system size are properly balanced. Speaking of ventilation, if the ventilation is not adequately filtering air, humidity, and pollutants can be trapped inside. It is also important that the system is not cycling too often where the temperatures in the home are inconsistent.
Heat-recovery ventilators and energy-recovery ventilators are designed to filter fresh air into the home without a significant loss of energy by recovering heat from exhaust air. These are especially useful for homes in cooler climates like in Macomb. These systems should be worked on periodically to ensure they are properly cleaned and have no clogs or debris stuck in them. This maintenance also increases the lifespan of the overall HVAC system and makes the home more energy efficient.
Ducts may develop leaks due to aging, improper installation, or any other variety of physical damage. Leaks may also increase the rate of accumulation of dust or other allergens within the ducts of the home, leading to lower indoor air quality. If there are pets in the home or members of the household have allergies or smoke indoors, ducts should be cleaned/checked more often to ensure they are properly cleaned and indoor air quality remains high. Macomb homes built from 1990-2010 are especially susceptible to ductwork leaks.
If refrigerants are not at the correct level, be it too high or too low, the system will not run at peak efficiency, leading to higher energy costs and the potential for quicker deterioration of the system. Additionally, regular testing of the electrical components can prevent system failures. We ensure all components are operating properly in every repair and maintenance job. Lastly, air filter replacement or cleaning is critical for AC efficiency, as dirty filters will restrict airflow.
