Benefits of Great Air Conditioning You May Not Have Known
Monday, August 5th, 2019
Can you survive the summer without air conditioning? No, we’re not joking, there are serious health benefits for those who invest in an AC installation in Shreveport, LA. Everyone likes to consider summertime air conditioning a luxury, but when you have a business or family, comfort can be a priority. We always like to tell ourselves that being a little uncomfortable in the summertime really isn’t that bad if it saves us money … right?
On the contrary, being uncomfortable due to heat means an increased heart rate, higher blood pressure, and a plethora of other potential health-related issues. Do you talk about your food or your car the same way that you talk about air conditioning? Just like ingesting rotten food could lead to illness, or driving a broken-down car could lead an accident, having no air conditioning could be detrimental to your quality of life.
Does Air Conditioning Cause Headaches?
Monday, July 22nd, 2019
Air conditioning systems don’t have a long history in homes. Not as long as electricity and indoor plumbing, for example. Central air conditioning installations only became common in the 1970s. Since ACs started spreading, homeowners have wondered if these cooling devices might cause indoor health complications.
For the most part, they don’t. Air conditioning systems pose no major health concerns to a household unless a major refrigerant leak sends chemical refrigerant into the living spaces—a rare occurrence. But the way ACs operate can have a negative effect on some individuals, such as headaches.

My AC Is Running All the Time—What’s Wrong?
Monday, June 25th, 2018
We may joke about how during our hot and humid Louisiana summers the air conditioners have to be running nonstop. Of course, there are cooler spells and evenings when ACs power down, and no air conditioner needs to power the compressor constantly to meet a home’s cooling demands. (At least, not if it was correctly sized for the space when it was installed.)
If you do notice that your air conditioner’s compressor is running constantly rather than cycling down as it’s supposed to, you may have a malfunctioning cooling system. Below we’re going to look at some of the reasons you’ve got a runaway air conditioner.

Not terribly informative or helpful, is it? If you’re curious about what the refrigerant in your home’s air conditioning system is, how it actually provides cooling, and why it’s so important, we’re here to give the dictionary a bit of help.
