Have you ever walked by a house or apartment with a window unit that’s dripping water? No, that isn’t a special kind of air conditioner, and no it’s not about to short circuit. Air conditioners produce water. It’s a natural by-product of the cooling process. If it weren’t for this process, we’d still be uncomfortable even with the chilled air from our ACs.
However, while some leaks are normal, many are not. There is a specific component of your air conditioner, the condensate drain, that is intended to catch all the condensate water pulled from inside your home and then dump it outside. If there are problems with this drain that stops water from exiting, you might end up finding water leaking elsewhere in your home. In that case, you’re better off calling an HVAC contractor in Indianola, IA.

We want to preface today’s post by noting that we understand there is no single air conditioning system that is going to be ideal for every homeowner. If there were a universally perfect fit for every home and every homeowner, then there would not be so many different options available for purchase and installation. That being said, it is pretty tough to argue against the benefits of a ductless HVAC system. We’ll dive into those benefits further below (there are a lot of them to consider).
When we’re in the midst of the summer season, there are certain things you want to do. Get outside, soak up the sun, go swimming, maybe check out a ball game or two. What you probably look forward to the most as your day draws to a close, however, is simply getting home and getting out of the heat! That’s what makes it so disheartening to enter your living space only to discover that your AC is blowing around warm air!
Chances are that if we asked how important your air conditioner is to you throughout the summer season, you’d say something along the lines of “very, obviously.” Unfortunately, while that is a common sentiment, too many homeowners still fail to treat their air conditioners with the level of priority that a crucial system deserves. Truth be told, we’re often found repairing air conditioning problems that could have been minimized with more prompt action.
My air conditioner starts up when it should start, and it cools down my home when I want it to. Well, for the most part. Well, it starts up, but then it shuts down pretty quickly. But it still cools my home. You know. Mostly.
We know that it can be easy to avoid dealing with air conditioning problems. This is especially true when your air conditioner is still technically up and running. The last thing that you want to do, though, is give any problems with your air conditioning system the opportunity that they need to get worse. The longer that you wait to have any problems resolved by a professional 
It’s a thought that you may not really want to explore: What if my air conditioner does not make it through the summer season? Let us make it clear right off the bat, though. It is definitely in your best interest, should this concern arise, to consider it very carefully. Can we replace your air conditioner for you in the middle of the summer following a breakdown? Well yes, of course. Is it much, much more convenient for you to have it replaced before things devolve to that level?
In this day and age, when it seems like there is someone trying to sell you something everywhere you go, it makes sense to exercise some level of caution when making investments and buying into different programs. One investment that is without a doubt worth your money is routine air conditioning maintenance. And our Schaal Priority Maintenance Agreement and Guarantees are definitely worth your consideration! More on that below. We want to get right to the heart of the matter of maintenance first.
Things are certainly warming up out there, but you’re definitely not done with your heating system just yet. No, you may not need to be running your heater around the clock the way you were even just a few weeks ago, but chances are that you’ll need to take the chill out of the air here and there for a bit longer this year. That’s a lot easier to do when your heating system is in great working condition.
