AC FAQs

HOW LONG DOES AN AIR CONDITIONER TYPICALLY LAST?

The life span of an AC system can vary greatly from location to location. A DFW AC will likely need to be replace more often since it is located in a warmer climate verse those located in cooler, dryer climates.

HOW MANY BTUS DOES MY AIR CONDITIONER NEED?

The size of your home will impact the number of BTUs your AC needs. For a rough estimate, figure out the total square footage of your home or the area you are cooling, and multiply by 24 to determine the minimum BTUs necessary. For a more precise number, talk to one of our DFW AC specialist now, 817.665.1287.

WHY IS MY AIR CONDITIONER CONSTANTLY RUNNING, BUT NOT BLOWING COLD AIR?

If you air conditioner seems to always be running but is not blowing extremely cold air it’s likely caused by a dirty condenser. Also, there could be a leak in your unit causing the unit to be out of refrigerant.

WHAT CAUSES AIR CONDITIONERS TO FROST OVER ON THE OUTSIDE?

When this occurs it is likely caused by the amount of humidity in the air which can lead the evaporator to get cold enough to cause the excess moisture to freeze. Most often this occurs because the coils or filters are dirty, however another cause could be your AC system is low on refrigerant.

HOW DO I FIX A FROZEN AIR CONDITIONER?

A temporary solution for a frozen AC system is turning off the unit until it thaws out. To prevent the problem from happening again, clean the coils and filters. If the problem continues to occur, you need to have a professional inspect your air conditioning system for leaks.

WHAT DOES SEER MEAN?

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This is a measurement of the seasonal or annual efficiency of an air conditioner.

Why is my Air Filter Important?

The air filter is a vital component of your cooling system. A clean air filter will let air flow freely through the unit and prevent debris from entering the system. A clean air filter will allow the air conditioning unit to run efficiently. We recommend that you clean your air filter at least twice per year but with pets or people who suffer from allergies, you may want to change your filter more often.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

Spring Cleaning

A Pest Free Spring

Ideal Partners is your partner for a clean, pest-free home.

After a long, harsh winter, spring comes as a welcome relief. Unfortunately, insects and other pests also become more active as the weather warms up. As you begin the annual chore of spring cleaning, Ideal Partners has some special steps you can take to keep these unwanted guests from entering your home.

Exterior Cleaning Tips from Ideal Partners

Effective pest control starts outside. The less hospitable your property is to pests, the less likely it is that you will have an infestation in your home. The following chores for the exterior of your property can help keep unwanted pests away.

  • Keep wood and brush piles away from your home, and preferably, off your property altogether. These piles attract termites, beetles and other nasty critters.
  • If you keep a supply of firewood, make sure it is stacked far away from your home’s foundation. Get rid of any fallen branches, weeds or dead plants while you’re at it. Pests are often drawn to this type of lawn clutter.
  • Ideal Partners also suggests you eliminate standing water from your property. All pests gravitate toward water sources, and standing water tends to attract mosquitos – winged pests notorious for carrying dangerous diseases.

Indoor Cleaning Tips from Ideal Partners for a Pest-free Home

As any technician from Ideal Partners will tell you, kitchens and bathrooms are popular destinations for unwelcome guests. Here’s how to keep the pests out of your home.

  • Do a deep cleaning of your kitchen, paying special attention to areas around appliances.
  • Empty all cabinets, cupboards and drawers, wiping them down with a disinfecting agent or cleaner.
  • Dispose of expired food items and any other trash that has accumulated.
  • Inspect your bathrooms to make sure water isn’t pooling around your tub, toilet, or under the sink.
  • Regularly wipe down all surfaces with a disinfectant, and occasionally pour bleach down the drains to further discourage pests.

Ideal Partners also suggests a meticulous cleaning of all closets. It’s easy to neglect these storage spaces, and unwanted junk can accumulate before you know it. Old boxes and bags can serve as hiding places for moths, spiders and other pests. Take time to clear everything from your closets, getting rid of whatever you don’t need. Dust the shelves and vacuum or sweep the floors before returning the remaining contents.

Basements, attics and garages can be safe havens for insects and rodents if not properly maintained. Ideal Partners recommends conducting a thorough cleaning of these areas, getting rid of junk you no longer want. Dusty cardboard boxes and clutter can attract ants, roaches and other bothersome vermin, so eliminating these potential pest habitats is incredibly important.

For us, the arrival of spring and summer means it’s time to enjoy the great outdoors. For insects and other pests, however, the warmer weather means it’s time to head inside. Keep these invaders out of your home by employing simple spring cleaning strategies from Ideal Partners.

Home Monitoring

The Complete Homeowner’s Guide to Home Monitoring

New to home monitoring systems? Here’s how they work and what to expect.

A home monitoring system is an investment worth making for any family. In the event of an emergency, a quick response is crucial in guaranteeing everyone’s safety. Whether it’s a break-in, fire, or carbon monoxide leak, a home monitoring system can alert you to the presence of danger and notify the proper authorities. Ideal Partners presents this basic guide to home monitoring so you can make an informed decision when it comes to protecting your residence and family.

What is Home Monitoring and How Does it Work?

A home monitoring system is a network of electronic devices working together to keep your residence secure. The control panel serves as the communication link between various door and window sensors, motion detectors and surveillance cameras. It also sounds the alarm and alerts the monitoring company in the event of a breach. Enter a password on the control panel’s keypad to arm, disarm, and program the automated features of your security system.

Door and window sensors consist of two components: one that goes on the door or window itself, and one that’s mounted on the door frame or window sill. When the door or window is shut, the two components touch, forming a circuit. When an armed door or window is suddenly opened, the circuit is broken, telling the control panel to sound the alarm and alert the monitoring company.

Some home security monitoring systems incorporate motion detectors and surveillance cameras. Motion detectors set off the alarm any time movement is detected in a given area of the residence. Surveillance cameras are typically used to keep an eye on your property when you’re not around. Usually, they can be accessed remotely via computer or smartphone.

Home Monitoring Options Available to Customers

Home monitoring systems vary greatly in terms of cost and sophistication, but even the most basic systems will protect your residence against intrusion. More advanced home monitoring systems will also alert you to the presence of smoke or carbon dioxide. Fire can intensify very rapidly, and if your family happens to be sleeping, smoke can easily go unnoticed.

Carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas that deprives your body of oxygen, can also occur in homes that use gas or wood heat. The lack of an odor, color or taste makes carbon monoxide impossible to detect without a special alarm. Having a home monitoring system to warn you of these dangers is vital to ensure the safety of your family, and there are plenty of excellent choices when it comes to selecting a home monitoring system. We can help you make an informed decision.

State-of-the-art home monitoring systems now offer a vast assortment of automated features. They allow you to view surveillance cameras, control your home’s thermostat, and manipulate lighting, even when you’re not there. Home monitoring systems can also give you the follow abilities:

  • Keep track of who comes and goes while you’re away from home by accessing your surveillance cameras via your computer or wireless device.
  • Enjoy remote access to your home’s heating and cooling. This can help keep utility bills down while you’re away.
  • Manipulate lighting and give the impression that someone is home to deter would-be burglars.

Few things provide the peace of mind afforded by a quality home monitoring system. With options ranging from basic home security to the latest home automated systems, Ideal Partners can help you find the perfect solution.

Pest Control

Pest Control: How to Prevent Flea Infestations at Home

, , ,

Keep fleas out of your home with these pest control tips.

After a long winter, your family pet may be chomping at the bit to get outside and enjoy the nicer weather. As the spring and summer approach, however, the presence of fleas, ticks and other parasites can become more of a problem. Although proper pest control should be a priority throughout the year, flea populations tend to grow exponentially as the weather gets warmer. Take these precautions from Ideal Partners to safeguard your home and pets against fleas.

Pest Control Basics: A Clean Fight Against Fleas

If you have children, then you may already spend a good chunk of your day scrubbing, mopping and doing laundry. Meticulous cleaning habits are imperative when it comes to pest control, too. Fleas in their larval stage can use fibers or debris from your carpet to build their cocoons or pupae, which can be nearly impossible to detect with the naked eye. Fleas are also adept at burrowing into the fabric of furniture and carpet, so it is important to thoroughly vacuum, especially in areas where your cat or dog likes to hang out. Flea eggs can even hatch inside your vacuum cleaner, so be sure to empty the canister or change bags regularly.

Simple soap and water can be powerful pest control weapons. Wash your pet’s bedding in the hottest water possible to prevent flea infestations. Fleas can even congregate on your pet’s toys, so it’s not a bad idea to wash them in hot water periodically as well.

Of course, before they hitch a ride inside via your pet’s fur or the fabric of your clothes, fleas live outdoors. Standard lawn care practices can prevent your yard from becoming an inviting destination for fleas. Mow the grass and rake leaves regularly, ensuring that clippings and other debris are removed. Don’t let weeds and brush grow up along your fence lines. You can also treat your lawn with a vet-approved pest control spray to further protect against flea infestation.

Pest Control Treatment for Your Pet

If you find tiny black specks in your pet’s fur or bedding, then a flea infestation is likely already in progress. Commonly referred to as flea dirt, these specks are actually fecal matter left behind by the fleas. At this point, your cat or dog will need to be treated. Most effective pet pest control treatments will include two major components: one that kills adult fleas, and one that prevents the development of immature fleas, eggs and larvae. Contact your veterinarian for advice on which products to choose. This should be dealt with immediately. In addition to being an extreme irritant, fleas can lead to more serious health problems like flea allergic dermatitis, anemia and tapeworms.

Follow these easy pest control steps from Ideal Partners to keep your pets and home happy and healthy this spring and summer. If the problem has gotten out of hand and it’s beyond prevention, please contact us today. We will help you reclaim your home!
