Airflow! Airflow! Airflow! When airflow is obstructed due to full air filters or dirty equipment, it starves the equipment of the air it needs to cool your home. Check your filter if your A.C. isn’t cooling properly. Give us a call or schedule online at scharheating.com.

This is a great question. There are various factors which influence the correct answer. What is the climate of the location of your home? If you live in Northeast Ohio near Rittman, Wadsworth, Wooster, or Akron, your needs are going to be directly influenced by the summer weather in this area. Another contributing factor is the square footage and layout of your space. Proper airflow of the system is vital to consider. An oversized unit will not run long enough to properly dehumidify and cool your home, while an undersized unit will cause the equipment to run constantly and fail to create a comfortable space. The Comfort Specialists at Schar Heating and Cooling are well versed in testing your particular home to determine the best way to make you safe, happy, and comfortable for years to come. Call or schedule online today at scharheating.com.

 In a word, YES! This equipment works around the clock to make sure you are kept comfortable, safe, and happy. You would never consider skipping maintenance on your car. Your air conditioner runs many more “miles” than your car. It is responsible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to keep a large space at a constant temperature. That’s a big job! Regular maintenance at some point during the cooling season avoids unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. Refrigerant leaks are dangerous for the environment and can be detected and fixed by a specialist. Find a technician you can depend on at Schar Heating and Cooling. We have maintenance plans that will save you money and inconvenience 365 days a year. Visit scharheating.com to make an appointment right now.

Change your air filter. Yes, it’s really that simple… and really that important. Depending on your type of filter, the replacement schedule can be as short as 1 month or as long as a year. Ask your specialist at Schar Heating and Cooling which air filter you have. Give us a call- we may have it noted on our computer. If not, you can bring your old filter in or text us a picture of it. We literally have hundreds of filters in stock. Call or chat online at scharheating.com, and we can equip you with the correct size today. Changing your filter on time is the cheapest, easiest way to keep your home cool and comfy.

 In the Wooster, Wadsworth, Rittman, and Akron areas, we appreciate comfortable bedrooms during the hot summers. There are some easy things to check. First, find your supply air registers. Make sure they are not covered by furniture. Take the register off. Is the ductwork clean and free of debris? Ensuring the cold air has the opportunity to flow into the room is the first step. Secondly, you can examine the actual register to make sure the damper cover isn’t covering the louvers, which would prohibit airflow. There are great solutions the Comfort Specialists at Schar Heating and Cooling can offer. We perform air flow tests on your equipment and make recommendations to correct your system based on the data. We can make you comfortable in your bedroom every night of the year. Find us at scharheating.com and schedule an appointment today. We offer free estimates for replacements!

With regular maintenance, your A.C. unit can last ten to fifteen years. That seems like a wide time range, but many factors influence the life span of air conditioners. Has the unit been maintained yearly? Has the filter been changed regularly? Has the unit been exposed to inclement Akron/Wadsworth weather for many years? Some brands last longer than others. At Schar Heating and Cooling, we can recommend brands we have found superior and long lasting. If you notice an increase in your electric bill or have multiple or costly repairs, you should call us today to get a free estimate on updated equipment. Call or visit scharheating.com today. We are here to serve you!

The people at Schar Heating and Cooling care about creating a sustainable environment in our Wayne County community just like you do. Freon and the gases safely sealed in your system are used to make the coils in your air conditioner cold. This chilled air can be blown by your furnace fan into your house. Research has shown that these gases are dangerous for our world when they leak into the air. This sounds very scary, but under normal circumstances, the process of air-conditioning is very safe. New systems are designed to keep these contaminants in a sealed coil. When operating typically, the gases are never exposed to the air. You are happy because you are comfortable and cool in your home. Wadsworth and the Akron area are happy because our air is free of harmful gases. Regular yearly maintenance prevents bad things from happening with your system. Schar Heating and Cooling offers affordable plans to keep your systems maintained and safe. When an A C unit gets old or is damaged, there is the danger of the coil or refrigerant lines developing holes or leaks which allow the refrigerant gases to escape the system and into the air. The United States government constantly monitors this pollution situation and creates laws requiring the use of specific new refrigerants to promote a healthier world. In the past, you may have heard about freon, R22, and R410A. The newest refrigerant is Puron Advance. Ask one of our qualified technicians to explain this in greater detail to you. Call or schedule online today at scharheating.com to keep you and your system safe and healthy.
