AC Maintenance is essential if you want your unit to last a long time. By taking care of your unit and having annual maintenance performed on your air conditioner, you will help prolong the life of your unit. Your air conditioner will also run more efficiently and help save on your energy costs and energy bills.

You should also keep shrubs, trees and other plants 3 feet from your air conditioning unit. Leafs, dirt, grass and other parts of shrubs or plants can clog your AC unit and prevent proper ventilation. This can cause your unit to run inefficiently, or parts to fail and break. We’ve seen A/C units with shrubs next to them burn out fan motors earlier than normal because of the ventilation issues caused by having a plant too close to the unit.

Eastin Air has provided AC, Heating, repair and installation services for the Dallas area for almost 30 years. Our work is guaranteed.

We serve Highland Park, University Park, Dallas, Plano, Garland, Richardson and surrounding DFW areas. Call us today to schedule your air conditioner repair, service or installation.

Foil Radiant Barrier vs Spray on Barrier

We are proud  to say we don’t Spray. Spray on radiant barrier products Don’t Work. So why would anybody use them. Why! From what we see high pressure sales and gimmicks to make a fast buck.  Spray on radiant barrier is not a good substitute for foil. It only blocks 60 to 78% of radiant heat at best,  if installed 100% correctly, which never happens. It is not considered a radiant barrier by energy Star or the Government. It comes  off to the touch and over time.  It causes aluminum dust that often infiltrates to the living area of the home. It also cost just as much and often more than the foil, which blocks 98% of radiant heat. I know, I have used both in my home. Foil works, spray on does not!

You might also hear of radiant barrier paint. This is essentially the same as the spray on radiant barrier. It does not reflect 90% of the heat like foil radiant barrier and is not the same as a foil radiant barrier. The best radiant barrier spray out is only available to commercial contractors and is not safe for the environment.

Foil Radiant Barrier is the way to go when you are considering cutting your energy costs and making your home more energy efficient.

Solar Powered Attic Fan

Solar Powered Attic Fan, Dallas, Installation, Plano, GarlandYou have many options for using renewable energy at home—from solar-powered outdoor lights to buying renewable energy from your utility to even producing solar electricity at home with photovoltaic (PV) cells.

One of our most popular items is a solar powered attic fan. Solar powered attic fans typically pay for themselves after 1-2 summers. How much money you will save depends on your electricity price, attic ventilation, attic insulation and your attic space. Our mission is to help provide our clients with an energy efficient home, saving them money and prolonging the life of their A/C unit. Our energy audit can help determine what areas your home could use improvement in.

Renewable Energy Tips
• A new home provides the best opportunity for designing and orienting the home to take advantage of the sun’s rays. A well-oriented home admits low-angle winter sun to reduce heating bills and rejects overhead summer sun to reduce cooling bills. See the Heating and Cooling section for more about using passive solar energy in your home.
• Many U.S. consumers buy electricity made from renewable energy sources like the sun, wind, water, plants, and Earth’s internal heat. This power is sometimes called “green power.” Buying green power from the utility is one of the easiest ways to use renewable energy without having to invest in equipment or take on extra maintenance.
• Another use of solar power is for heating water. If you have a swimming pool or hot tub, you can use solar power to cut pool heating costs. Most solar pool heating systems are cost competitive with conventional systems. And solar pool systems have very low operating costs. It’s actually the most cost-effective use of solar energy.

$ Long-Term Savings Tip
• If you’ve made your home as energy efficient as possible, and you have very high electricity bills Renewable Energy and a good solar resource, you might want to consider generating your own electricity using PV cells. New products are available that integrate PV cells with the roof, making them much less visible than older systems.

Energy Effecient Homes

Energy Saving Tips, Dallas, Garland, Plano, Frisco, University Park, Highland ParkDid you know that the typical U.S. family spends about $1,900 a year on home utility bills? Unfortunately, a large portion of that energy is wasted. And each year, electricity generated by fossil fuels for a single home puts more carbon dioxide into the air than two average cars. And as for the road, transportation accounts for 67% of all U.S. oil consumption. The good news is that there is a lot you can do to save energy and money at home and in your car. Start making small changes today.

Eastin Air can provide a home energy audit that will help determine if there are any areas of your home that could use improvement. Our years of experience and knowledge can help you save money on your energy bills.
The key to achieving these savings in your home is a whole-house energy efficiency plan. To take a whole-house approach, view your home as an energy system with interdependent parts. For example, your heating system is not just a furnace—it’s a heat-delivery system that starts at the furnace and delivers heat throughout your home using a network of ducts. Even a top-of-the-line, energy-efficient furnace will waste a lot of fuel if the ducts, walls, attic, windows, and doors are not properly sealed and insulated. Taking a whole-house approach to saving energy ensures that dollars you invest to save energy are spent wisely.
Energy-efficient improvements not only make your home more comfortable, they can yield long-term financial rewards. Reduced utility bills more than make up for the higher price of energy-efficient appliances and improvements over their lifetimes. In addition, your home could bring in a higher price when you sell.
