Central AC remains to be one of the most-used forms of air conditioning in the US, even with the rise of heat pumps and ductless cooling systems. There are benefits and drawbacks to going with central, so if you’re still trying to figure out what will work best for you, let’s talk about central air installation in Washington, DC and where it stands to benefit you.
Do heat pumps and central air conditioners have the same problems? Well, yes and no. It’s possible for a heat pump to run into issues that are similar and sometimes even the same as central air conditioner issues. But that’s only sometimes.
The other half of the time a heat pump can run into issues that are wholly unique to heat pumps systems, hence why only experienced HVAC technicians should work on your next heat pump repair in Washington, DC. If they’ve only treated repairs in central air conditioning systems, then they might miss a thing or two when trying to fix this kind of technology.
To expand upon this, we’d like to talk about 3 common heat pump repairs that either only occur in heat pump systems, or that are just more common in these types of units. Then we’ll leave it to you to contact a pro to have your system repaired properly.
Have you grown jealous of the friends and family that have cool and comfortable homes, while yours is still a little too hot in the summer? Nothing personal, air conditioning just feels better when it’s hot out, and there’s no shame in having different preferences for your home and budget. If you like a warmer home, or you’re just not that into air conditioning technology, then we wouldn’t pressure you into investing in it.
However, if you’ve always wanted an AC installation in Washington, DC but you never took the plunge because they either looked too expensive or seemed like a huge monthly investment, then we’re here to talk about those issues.
In actuality, air conditioners aren’t as expensive, bulky, and energy-intensive as you might think. They consume less energy than a heating system would, and pretty much every home in our area at least has a heating system for the winter.
Investing in air conditioning is one of the smartest choices you can make for your home and comfort. But, it can also be expensive. That’s why we created the Polar Plus Program! Our program is designed to help those who need AC maintenance in Washington, DC, without the hassle of large unexpected repair bills.
This article discusses three reasons you should consider joining the Polar Plus Program.

With air conditioning units that are up to 20% more efficient than older models, Washingtonians can enjoy lower cooling bills year-round while helping reduce energy use and our reliance on fossil fuels.
But you shouldn’t wait for summertime heat waves before upgrading their system – now’s the time! Need another reason to upgrade? You can save money by doing it.

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are almost necessary for the workplace and at home. They help ensure proper circulation of clean air, provide just the right temperatures for individuals to stay comfortable, and can equally ensure you get that hot bath when you need to relax.
However, even the most carefully designed and installed HVAC systems can break down at certain points. This presents an opportunity to try out their creative skills for some people. They try fixing the problems by themselves.
While that may seem like a good idea, the truth is that it almost always ends up in disaster. Trying to fix an HVAC system problem by yourself can lead to further damage. The worst part is that you cannot raise a warranty claim if you are responsible for damaging your system.
That is why it is always a good idea to call in the help of a professional HVAC service provider.
Boilers are some of the oldest and most reliable heating systems in the world.
