What Is Home Performance? Jaycox Air Conditioning has a complete Home Performance Department dedicated to offering whole-house solutions to high energy bills and homes with home comfort problems. Our Home Energy Audit is a comprehensive home assessment that includes an evaluation of the heating and cooling systems, windows, insulation, duct system, as well as a safety check for carbon monoxide. What are some common home problems? Dust: Increased dust can signal it is time for a filter change or that your duct system is leaking. High Energy Bills: High utility bills can be indicative of air leakage in your home’s envelope, insufficient window coverings, inefficient HVAC equipment, a poorly sealed duct system, or a lack of insulation. Uneven Cooling or Heating in Some Areas of the Home: Hot or cold spots in your home can be caused by various factors including sun exposure, design of duct system, and HVAC equipment that is not sized properly. Mold, Mildew, or Musty Odors: Water leaks or high humidity can lead to mold and mildew. This can cause structural damage to your home as well as health issues. Often, high humidity in homes can be traced back to improperly sized or installed air conditioning equipment. What does a Home Energy Audit Include? Jaycox will perform a complete home inspection and testing including all of the following… Audit the A/C system, insulation, ductwork, and building envelope and perform a blower door test.

A recent study found that more than 55% of existing AC units had issues causing them to waste electricity in summer and winter. That costs you money. The most cost effective way to ensure that you prolong the longevity of your HVAC equipment and manage rising utility costs is to maintain your equipment. The Advanced Tune-Up uses state-of-the–art diagnostic equipment to provide a more precise tune-up and get your equipment into optimal shape. This equipment, called a Stargate Machine, will even verify your unit’s refrigerant charge and airflow is correct. You won’t get that from a basic tune-up! If you are interested in having an Advanced Tune-up done at your home, give us a call at 623-937-7532. APS recommends performing an advanced AC tune-up once every 6 years. In the Phoenix area, the ideal time is between April and October when temperatures are above 75°. Copyright © 2021 Jaycox Air Conditioning. All Rights Reserved. 13041 W.
