Your AC needs TLC!!

When your air conditioning equipment is more than two years old, it needs some TLC.  The old adage of, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" simply does not apply.  Quality-control is imperative in maintaining  good air space.

It is important to make sure that all the equipment on your air handler is functioning correctly. It is essential to use high quality air filters that fit properly, such as our Lifetime Filters. A poorly fitting filter will allow pollutants to slip into your air, and you'll be breathing it in. Even the best air-conditioning is limited by the quality of its filter. A bad filter makes a bad AC unit.

Here are four simple tips that will help you get the best AC quality:

1) Install a programmable thermostat.
Programmable thermostats allow your AC to take a break while you're at work and decrease your electricity bill. If you have a consistent schedule than you can program it up to about 82 degrees while you're away, and then to start cooling to your preferred temperature about an hour before you get home. They are very user friendly and easily programmable to fit your schedules just by the push of a few buttons.

2) Clear the debris away from the outdoor section of your cooling unit.
People often grow shrubs near or mow lawn clippings into their condenser units unaware of what this causes. When leaves or other debris clog the coils of your outdoor unit, it cannot breathe, the air supply has been choked off. All the air you breathe from that point is filtered through those leaves and debris. Be sure to give a good area to your outdoor unit so that this problem can easily be avoided.

3) Get a tune up!
Here at Glades Gas we offer a Precision Tune Up, it's just one of those things that your system needs to keep functioning properly. Think of it like your regular car tune up, it helps to maintain and keep the AC system doing its job properly.

4) Check your filter monthly.
If you are using a disposable filter, be sure to change it every month. Likewise, if you have a Lifetime Filter, be sure to clean it monthly.

These four tips will all save you money! Call us today for a FREE AC assessment to help you with these tips.

Health

Dennis and I attended a four day seminar in Irvine, California  this past week.  It was extremely enlightening.  We learned many different ways to promote longevity.  We couldn't possibly incorporate all of what we learned into our everyday lifestyle. We  have chosen a few choice super foods and exercises in an effort to lead a healthier lifestyle.  There are so many things out there that we had never heard of!  Some of the topics covered confirmed my conviction for natural foods and getting back to basics.  

On the plane ride home, we were discussing some of the different speakers and topics covered.  We both agreed that we were going to make a very conscious effort in our office to keep our employees healthy as well.  We talked about the fact that we had already began doing this by promoting our Lifetime Filters in their air conditioners, using propane gas for cooking and water heating and switching to tankless water heating over the traditional electric.  All the employees have Lifetime filters and over half have converted to tankless water heaters.  So in essence, they are creating healthier homes.  It has to start somewhere. 

So we will begin this quest of a healthier lifestyle together.  Where it will lead, we don't know but we will do it together and share as a family.  If you would like to hear about some of the incredible speakers we heard, just give Dennis or myself a call.  We would be glad to share with you.

Tankless - The Way Of The Future

Just this morning we did startup on four instantaneous natural gas water heaters in the new building between the Dolly Hand Cultural Arts Center and Belle Glade's PBSC campus.

Watch the video:



They're up and running as of June 17th 2010! Their hot water supply will be endless with the instantaneous water heater technology.

These water heaters are better in every way:

-Save you money on your utilities
-Produce an endless hot water supply
-Save space and can be installed virtually anywhere
-Environmentally friendly by maximizing output while maintaining low emissions
-Safe and Reliable
-Lasts two to three times longer than traditional water heaters
-Very little maintenance (10 year warranty!)

These are going to be in every home, it is only a matter of time.
The government is offering a 30% rebate on the total installation, up to $1500 through 12/31/10.

We have taught our daughter to grill on her patio at college (Go Gators!!) and she is really beginning to enjoy the many benefits of having a propane grill.

Batter Up with Crazy Tony

Crazy Tony touts "Skeeter's Batter Up" - light fish fry

If you can fry it, you gotta try it!

Try some from Glades Gas in Belle Glade when you get the chance.

Skeeter's Batter Up!

Skeeter's Batter Up is the best on pork chops!

Skeeter, I hope you read this because you were right! You told me at the Black Gold Fest to try it and I just did. It's really, really good and my husband is a good cook so I don't lie! It was just so light and crispy and I love the fact that there is no salt so I can salt it to my own taste. Can't wait until you come out with a new flavor!
