Ultimate Ways to Stay Cool this Summer

Do you live in a home without air conditioning?

Are certain rooms hotter than others in your house?

How do you make it through the hot summer days?

We’re happy to share some easy ways you can follow to keep feeling comfortable all summer long!

1. Keep a fan nearby
2. Drink ice water frequently
3. Dress for the weather
4. Stock your freezer with iced treats
5. Watch winter movies
6. Close your blinds
7. Open your windows at night
8. Turn off all appliances that give off heat

Are you worried about not being able to afford an air conditioner? Is it a challenge to find an appropriate system to keep your house cool? Our trained HVAC technicians can recommend the proper system, and give you an affordable price with convenient financing options.

Most good quality air conditioning systems will last at least ten years, like Bryant, Carrier, Honeywell or Mitsubishi, so what you pay when you run the system is at least as important as what you pay when you install the system. But as you consider how to cool your Ann Arbor home, you should also consider the cost of upkeep, maintenance and repair. Investing in one of these high quality systems will help ensure that your maintenance costs are reasonable, and your costs of repair are as low as possible.

Give us a call at (734) 424-9555 to talk with the most customer-friendly provider of air conditioners in Ann Arbor! You can arrange an appointment for one of CMR Mechanical’s experienced technicians to visit your home or business to evaluate your heating and cooling needs.

What Everybody Ought To Know About the Value of Custom Designed Heating & Cooling

Does your home maintain the proper humidity throughout the day?

Is your HVAC quiet?

Every home is built differently, which is why a proper load calculation is the key to customizing your comfort level! Proper load calculation refers to the maximum heating and cooling size needed to cool or heat your home efficiently. By having an experienced professional customize your home, your comfort level will meet or exceed your expectations!

A good contractor will not size your equipment solely on square footage, nor will they assume your existing equipment was sized properly. When you hire a heating and cooling Ann Arbor company to install your HVAC system, make sure they correctly size your home for proper efficiency. If your HVAC unit is the wrong capacity, problems can result, including:

Oversized HVAC                                          

• Higher installation costs
• More breakdowns
• Large temperature swings
• Possible mold growth
• Shorter life

Undersized HVAC    

• Constantly running
• High energy costs
• Shorter Life
• Reduced comfort

If you think you have an oversized or undersized HVAC system, contact CMR Mechanical as soon as possible. We’ll help you increase your family’s comfort, health and safety. We have the experience, knowledge, and skills necessary to service and repair all brands of HVAC systems. Call us today at (734) 424-9555 to schedule a “$99 Clean and Check Inspection” with one of our heating and cooling Ann Arbor technicians.

10 Super Important Tips for Heating and Cooling Ann Arbor Homes

Do you turn down your thermostat when you leave for work?

Is your furnace constantly running?

Did you know that every 24-hour period in which the heat is lowered by 1 degree can result in a 3 percent savings on your heating bill? Sometimes the smallest changes can make the most difference!

That’s why, when it comes to heating and cooling Ann Arbor homes, we think it’s worth paying attention to the details.

According to EnergyStar.gov, if just one household in ten bought heating and cooling equipment that has earned the EnergyStar approval, we would prevent annual greenhouse gas emissions of 12 billion pounds, which is the same as eliminating 1.1 million cars on the road.

We’d like to share some super important tips that you can use to help regulate your heat and save you money, including:

1. Turn down the thermostat by 10 degrees at night or when there is nobody home
2. When you get a chill, instead of turning up the heat, grab a sweater
3. Open curtains and/or blinds on a sunny day
4. Adjust the airflow to rooms that are not in use by closing vents
5. Circulate warm air with a fan
6. Caulk around windows that may not be airtight
7. Check to make sure your attic, walls, and floors are insulated
