Oxford’s Heating and Plumbing Shares Advice Through Blog

August 29, 2019 – – Burnaby, BC based Oxford’s Heating and Plumbing is inviting members of the communities they serve to visit their blog. Created as a resource for readers who wish to learn more about heating and plumbing, the blog covers a range of subjects in the industry, such as the inner workings of air conditioners, ways to troubleshoot common heating problems, tips on stopping leaks, and so on.

For instance, the most recent article delves into the aspects customers should consider before they purchase a new air conditioner. It states, “These days, we all have plenty of choices when it comes to installing an air conditioning in your home. You may go for an inexpensive window unit, a mid-level split air conditioning system, or simply go with the old faithful central HVAC system. With so many options, you may start asking yourself what the best choice for air conditioning your home is and, indeed, each of them provides a variety of advantages and drawbacks, and the best decision can vary from one individual to the other. However, in the vast majority of cases, the best choice is by far getting an air conditioner that is part of an HVAC system.”

According to the Heating & Plumbing Blog, there are five main points to take into account before investing in an air conditioner. These include the unit’s Aesthetics (the company recommends an HVAC system as they will be located outside the home and not need to fit in with the rest of the interior), Efficiency (customers should choose a unit that is specifically designed to be energy efficient for the amount of cooling it provides), and Comfort Level (as forced air directly moves heated or cooled air around the entire home, there would not be any hot spots within the property).

Customers should also keep the unit’s Ease of Installation in mind (again, the company recommends an HVAC based system as it would utilise the existing, low profile ductwork. Any installation would only require that the unit be set outside and have the electrical supply and ductwork brought to it), and Fast Effect (a unit that is part of the overall HVAC system would work more quickly than other types of air conditioner as air is distributed faster throughout the home). The article states, “On a very hot day, there won’t be such a thing as a bad air conditioning system—any type of system will provide relief and make you feel comfortable—but if you want to go for the best air conditioning choice for your home, installing one that’ll be part of your central HVAC system is certainly going to provide the best results. If it fits your budget, there is no better choice for your needs.”

Similarly, the blog also hosts an article meant to help readers keep their air conditioning costs to a minimum. “According to the US Department of Energy,” it states, “a good 43% of your utility bill every month is due to your heating system and air conditioner. With the summer months coming up, it’s important to cut back on costs! Visit your favorite heating, cooling, and plumbing company for more information.” The article notes several methods by which costs can be reduced by adjusting the unit itself, but begins by suggesting that homeowners take a few simple measures to insulate their homes better. For instance, they could install solar screens or window films to help prevent heat from entering the building. Similarly, they could also plant trees or other shady vegetation around the home, blocking sunlight from striking the walls and entering through the windows. This could even extend to shading the AC unit itself. “If you can shade your AC unit, you may be able to boost its efficiency by as much as 10%, at least according to the US Department of Energy,” says the article. Homeowners may also take the simple step of switching to the use of fans, a more energy efficient option that prevents the buildup of hot, stagnant air.
