Skyzone jump park

We took the day off but AC Breeze is still working.  We thought we would try this new jump park.  What a blast for the kids.  

The place is clean and very well run and monitored by staff everywhere.  You have to sign a waver but they really have the place set up very safe.  All ages and fun for everyone.  My kids and two of their friends are having a kick out of it
Plan on buying some silly looking socks but what the heck, it
s all good

They have light refreshnents too available at the Sky Cafe.  May not be as good as Jose's Bar and Grill but still good just the same. 

A real 10 for any family wanting to get out and get some exercise.  Certainly better then video Games.

A Vacuum That Sucks

You need to keep up with the dust in your home.  Dust is dead skin cells mixed with all kinds of allergens.  You want to have a vacuum that sucks really well.  Ha I got you didn't I.  Did you think I was gonna talk about a vacuum that doesn't work very well?  Did you go somewhere else with that title?  Shame on you.  Just kidding but this is some comments on getting rid of that dust.  

When you change out your ac filter, it's a great time to also "suck" up the dust from the registers, especially the intake grills.  

So next time you are sneezing in your home, take a look at your filters and see if that is the culprit of your allergies and suck up those dust bunnies.

Crap In Your Lungs-OH MY

I was asked to go to a home a few weeks ago and look at an air conditioning system that the family said they were suffering really bad allergies every time the ac was running.  When we took the cover off the system this is what we saw:
Ouch for the family breathing in this gunk.  Those are chunks of mold.  The mold is going from there to the ducts throughout the home and into the home for everyone to breath.

What can you do to avoid this catastrophe?  Regular Maintenance on the unit including changing your filter each and every month.  Pretty simple right?  It is!

The homeowner learned a valuable lesson that day and they signed up for a regular maintenance program from that point on.  I followed up with this family just yesterday and asked them how it was going and if they had allergy issues still.  I am happy to report that they said that the improvement is remarkable and they are never going to let that happen again.

How about you and your system?  Are you having allergy issues inside your home.  It just might be the AC coil causing it.  Give us a call. We will be happy to come out and look and show you your unit and offer solutions to fix and permanently reduce the possibility of this happening to your family.

Air Conditioning- What are my options?

Air quality has a direct correlation to what you have in place for Air Conditioning.  Most people think of AC as something you use to cool down your home if it gets too hot.  Air Conditioners do cool down the space it encompasses but it does so much more.  It also dehumidifies the space.  Humidity is the leading cause of Mildew in the home.  Many times just keeping your windows open can be great to change out your air but too much of it without removing the moisture will cause worse allergies.  So conditioning the air involves removing the moisture but also it involves taking the heat from the inside and moving it outside.  The combination of the two gives us conditioned air.

There are so many different variables involved with the equipment itself.  There is a calculation called a load calculation that involves measuring each room of the home and then taking away infiltration rates away based on what the home is built with, each window and even the window treatments are taken in to the count.  After all this is put together and then based on home many people are in the home at any one time, we are able to determine the right size unit that is needed for the home.  This is the only way to know for sure what is needed.  Then based on those numbers and measurements we utilize what we call a duculator to determine what size duct and entry point of each room so as to keep each room comfortable.

Simply just replacing what was there with the same size, can be devastating and incorrect.  Don't let someone replace your equipment without doing this calculation.  A licensed HVAC contractor needs understand and know how to do this to have their license so ask them to do it.  This is not an area to cut corners.  Many of the homes built in the boom were not sized correctly and so if it's time to replace the unit let's get it right now.  It will save you so much in the long run and will lend to having a more comfortable place to live.

www.acbreeze.net is the contributor for these cost savings measures. The following are some ideas to put in place that will help with your cooling costs.  Every little bit helps and extra money in your pocket is good for all of us.
  1. Put Good white blinds or mini blinds and keep them closed on all East and West facing windows.
  2. Keep the thermostat set at 78 degrees and use fans in your occupied rooms.
  3. Keep the home closed up tight during the heat of the day.
  4. Keep your air conditioners maintained to reach maximum efficiency
  5. Plant shade trees around the house.
  6. Have an energy audit done so you can utilize the results to make the changes needed to help reduce costs.
  7. When it's time to change your unit, make sure you have new cooling load measurement done so you can determine the right system is installed.  Do Not Depend On What Was In Place.  This can be a big mistake.
Most of all it is so important to keep your unit clean and maintained.  The best thing you can do yourself is to keep the filter changed on a monthly basis.

Cool Tips for Lehigh's Springtime Fair

www.acbreeze.net is our web based home.  We maintain and install air conditioning equipment all over the state of Florida.  We reside in Lehigh so keeping up with the happenings in our area is important to us.  This weekend Lehigh Acres is hosting it's annual Spring Time Fair at the Veteran's Park. This is a time that all the locals get out and spend some fun family time enjoying the entertainment and rides.  We want everyone to be safe and the weather is forecasted to be warm for most of the fair.  The following tips will help you keep cool and safe.
  1. Wear sunblock of at least 30SPF to keep from burning. 
  2. Use a portable cooler like shown below to keep cool
  3. Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water or a sports drink.  Alcohol makes your more dehydrated.  Soda can be very dehydrating also.
  4. Wear appropriate clothing for the weather. 
  5. Find shade and spend time resting.
  6. Use bug protection for the evening time (don't leave home without the essentials)
 Remember AC Breeze Cooling and Heating for all your Cooling and Heating needs.  Give us a call at 239-303-1318 or check us out on the web at www.acbreeze.net.
