Despite your air conditioner’s age, any sound coming from the unit can still be bothersome. If your air conditioner is producing an unusual sound, that could mean trouble. So instead of risking injury to you or your system by poking around the unit yourself, play it safe and call a professional to come inspect it for you.
Whether you suffer from Portland seasonal allergies or year-long allergens like pet dander or dust, your air conditioner can help you breathe easier. With the correct filter, your indoor air quality (IAQ) can be improved, filtering out allergens like pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and other irritant air particles.
As the temperature shifts, you will switch from heating to air conditioning. Your cooling equipment has been idle all winter and needs a tune-up before it does any heavy lifting. Luckily, April is the ideal month for a maintenance visit and a popular time among Portland homeowners. That way, you can stay cool all summer without any service interruptions.
The US Department of Energy says that air conditioning can account for 35 to 40 percent of your utility bill here in Oregon. At HomeRx, we take energy efficiency seriously.

That’s why our five simple tips for staying cool and using your air conditioner less may help you cut costs and save money on your monthly energy bill.

We work with the top manufacturers in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry to offer you quality products and services. And our financing packages allow you to choose the right equipment for your Portland home without worrying about how you can afford it.
It’s the first really hot day of summer in Portland when the floor fans and the open windows just don’t cut it anymore. You head over to your thermostat and select “air conditioner” and wait for that refreshing icy air to start blowing out of your vents. When you check a few minutes later, you feel only hot air. Why?
Air conditioners do so much more than just cool, like dehumidify your home or business and help keep your inside air cleaner. Understanding a bit of its basic components and how they work can help you identify a problem or malfunction when it occurs.
Our team at HomeRx has a great list of questions for you to consider to help get your air conditioning system ready to go before summer.
