How Often Do I Really Need to Change My Air Filter?

June 25, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

Typically, homeowners follow the manufacturer recommendation for how often they should change out their HVAC air filters. That recommendation states that every homeowner should replace their air filters on a bimonthly basis, but is that enough?

Replacing air filters every two months is a good general guideline, but some individuals may need to consider changing their filters on a more frequent basis. Some factors, such as the number of pets in the home and general air quality for the city you live in, may require you to change out your filters more often than every two months.

In an effort to improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling system, Gembecki Mechanical Services has compiled a list of factors that may increase the frequency with which you change out your filters. [Read more…]

Your HVAC unit is one of the most important systems in your home. Without it, your home wouldn’t be comfortable. It is no different from any other piece of equipment you use all the time — it won’t work properly unless it undergoes regular maintenance. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that businesses and homeowners have their HVAC systems inspected on an annual basis before the start of the season during which each part of the system is going to be used.

Tips for Cleaning Your Commercial Ice Machine

May 21, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

One item that should always be in your company’s preventative maintenance list is its ice machine. Many business owners fail to acknowledge the fact that just because these devices are operational, does not mean they can be left unattended for long periods. Ice machines are a very important asset for a wide array of businesses ranging from nursing homes to restaurants to hospitals yet are too often neglected until something goes wrong.

If your facility is equipped with one, it is important to establish a routine cleaning and maintenance plan up front, and to stick to it! Aside from protecting your investment and ensuring that expensive equipment runs optimally for years to come, you can rest assured knowing your customers will always be served safe and clean food products.

For business owners who work in the food service industry, purchasing a walk-in cooler is one of the best investments you can make.

As well, the convenience and flexibility that these devices offer to facilities with changing needs is excellent.

In this field, it is always a good idea to make the most of commercial-grade equipment and technology as their consumer counterparts are ill-equipped to handle the often high demand presented by growing customer bases.

New Water Heater Rule Starting April 16 – What It Means For You

March 23, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

The new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) energy standards for residential water heaters became effective April 16 of this year. The new standards, which amend the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA), require higher energy factor (EF) ratings on just about all home water heaters that are electric, gas or oil-fired.

As an Orlando HVAC contractor, we are pleased that the DOE has projected that the new standards will save 2.58 quads of energy through 2043. That savings, according to the DOE, is enough to provide a year’s worth of energy to about 13 million homes. Further, according to the agency, the new standards will cut carbon dioxide emissions by 154 million metric tons.

That’s why proper ventilation and regular maintenance of your Orlando air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems are essential. [Read more…]
