HOME SERVICES ABOUT US NEWS REMODEL / REPLACEMENT NEW CONSTRUCTION CONTACT US News OCTOBER, A GREAT MONTH FOR SERVICES October 6th, 2021 Did you know that October is a great month to get both your heating system serviced and repaired for the upcoming winter season and to have your AC system maintained for the next years use? While we are coming into the colder months of the year, it’s time to really think about your AC and what it needs before the heat comes roaring back! Peace of Mind. Let’s face it, with winter on our minds, now is the time that we are already thinking about our heating units. While it is on your mind, get the AC system serviced. If you put it off, you may end up starting the warmer months waiting to get an appointment to get service, and no one wants to be in that situation. You may even save some money if you can find a deal on AC services or one getting both AC and furnace services done at the same time. Don’t Delay. First, let’s address the issue of delaying an air conditioning repair at the end of the cooling season. If you noticed something not quite right with your AC during the last month you were using it regularly, you may have decided to wait it out, and see if the problem goes away while not in use. Don’t. Air conditioning repairs should be done as soon as the problem is detected. Letting the AC shut down for the heating season with a potential malfunction can have serious repercussions. It can lead to more expensive repairs down the road and you may discover the air conditioner won’t work at all when the spring warmth arrives. Repair or Replace. That is the Question. If you’re working with an old air conditioning system and aren’t sure if you should repair it or replace it, the cooler months are a fantastic time to figure it out. Call an expert to conduct an energy audit on your system. You may be able to bring your old system up to date with some repairs and upgrades, or it may be time to consider full-on replacement. Either way, you’ll be better off paying for an inspection and repairs before something actually breaks and you need emergency repairs. Make the most of the fact that your AC probably isn’t running right now, and you may not have to turn it back on except on occasional days for the foreseeable future. Right now is the time where you won’t be stressed out to have your air conditioning system looked at if you suspect it needs repairs. Call Russett Southwest Corporation today to schedule your inspection before winter. Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments » MAKING THE MOST OF FALL. September 17th, 2021 Those warm Tucson days are still with us…at least for a few more weeks. While it’s still necessary to run your AC during the heat of the day, now is the time to take advantage of those cooler mornings and evenings! Here are some tips to reduce energy costs while enjoying the season change: Keep an eye on your thermostat Since the weather can be unpredictable keeping your eye on the thermostat can help you manage your comfort and energy bill. Consider purchasing a programmable thermostat for this purpose. Bumping up the AC when you’re away will help you save money. Keep the adjustment right around 3 degrees because it takes less energy to get the house to the desired temperature when you return home. Let the fresh air in Make the most of the nighttime and early morning coolness by opening up the windows. Opening windows and doors on opposite ends of the house allows for the cool air to flow through. This keeps the house cool which means your air conditioner starts running later in the day, saving you money. Use your ceiling fans Did you know that the average ceiling fan uses only 60 watts of energy— even when running on high? That means that running your fan helps to keep you cool and can help cut down on your AC usage. While the weather is warm you should have your ceiling fans running on high with the air blowing down directly below the fan. This creates the most air movement in the center of the room, which is where you need it most for the “breeze” effect, which will feel cool on your skin.

Posted in Air Conditioning Tucson | No Comments » INDOOR AIR QUALITY August 27th, 2021 Did you know that long term exposure to low levels of pollutants and contaminants can lead to chronic health issues and in some cases acute health effects? What’s more is that we come in contact with these pollutants and contaminants on a regular basis. Outside our home and inside. Some of the health issues associated with inadequate indoor air quality include allergy flare ups and respiratory issues. The elevated levels of pollutants can also reduce the percentage of oxygen in the air which may increase the rate of breathing required to supply adequate oxygen to the blood stream. The good news is that the build-up of pollutants and contaminants in your home, assuming adequate house-keeping measures are practiced, can usually be attributed to things that can be improved like inadequate ventilation, filtration and pressure management. It’s with this in mind that Russett Southwest Corporation developed a comprehensive process to test, assess and resolve indoor air quality issues in your home. This process is part of our Healthier Home, Healthier You program. Russett Southwest Corporation, an industry leader in indoor air quality has developed a revolutionary Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) test, assess and inform (TAI) program to evaluate the environmental conditions with-in your home and provide solutions for adverse conditions.

Posted in Air Conditioning Tucson | No Comments » DO THIS, NOT THAT DURING THE MONSOON SEASON: August 25th, 2020 While we love the light show and cooler temps that the Monsoons bring with them, there are a few things to keep in mind during this time. Be sure that you are using surge protectors. Surge protectors help protect you against the damage that your air conditioning may undergo when there is lighting in the area. Trim trees and the landscaping. If a limb comes off a tree and hits the house, it can cause damage to your home, your outdoor furnishings, your HVAC system, or even vehicles. Do not open doors and windows during the storm. While the breeze and cooler temperatures make it tempting, remember that monsoons also bring humidity. Opening doors and windows invites the humidity in and makes your air conditioner work even harder when you do turn it back on. Check it out after a storm. Take a look around your home after a monsoon. How does your roof look? How does your AC unit look? Be sure to clear any debris and take care of necessary repairs.
