The transition to colder weather involves a lot of turning gears and moving parts, both literally and figuratively. You’ve got to mentally prepare yourself for colder weather – although that’s not always a given here in Cocoa – as well as switching to different equipment. No appliance might be more critical to staying comfortable in

It’s almost that time of year, when the summer begins calming down and cooler temperatures slowly creep into the air. The change in environment is definitely welcome here in Cocoa, but the less-than-fun part of that is we suddenly need to switch to using our home’s heating source more. Although we don’t need to heat

The struggle to figure out different ways to save money on energy bills is a creative exercise all its own. At the end of the day, we’re still presented with two choices: either suck it up and deal with the higher bills while still using the central AC and heating all the time – or

Whether you’re in the market for a new AC unit or just curious about the specifics behind one, you’re likely to stumble across something called a SEER rating.

What’s the best way to make sure your home doesn’t get too hot? Obviously, the easy answer is to just use your AC for a significant portion of the day. That’s one way to do it, and it makes the most sense. It’s simple, too, because all you’ve got to do is flip a switch

Here in east Florida, the air is pretty much always muggy and wet, so your AC doesn’t get much of a break. Even when the calendar flips to September, your reliable HVAC unit will keep chugging along.

Most of us aren’t home repair experts by any stretch of the imagination, so when something seems like it’s going wrong, our first call is to an experienced technician who will hopefully come save the day. And while whatever issue you’re experiencing will certainly get fixed, you might have to pay a pretty penny to

How often do you think about the insulation in your home? If you’re like most other people, the answer is a resounding Not Often. More often than not, we just assume it keeps the cold air in during the summer while making sure the hot Florida air stays firmly on the outside. But while that’s

It’s no secret that we need to spend a lot of money and energy to keep ourselves cool during these Cocoa summers. We don’t have a lot of options – we’ve either got to shell out the money on energy bills to be comfortable at home, or we can suffer and sweat indoors all in the name of saving a few bucks.
