If you are in need of a new air conditioning unit in the Orlando area, I have put together a few tips to help you with the process.
Make sure the company is licensed and insured.
Don’t be tempted to purchase a unit from the lowest bidding Orlando air conditioning company. You want the job done right so be willing to pay for the time it will take to properly install your new Orlando air conditioning unit.
Make sure the unit you’re buying isn’t to big for your home. An over-sized unit obviously uses more electric, turns on and off more often, and just isn’t efficient. Contractors should calculate how much cooling a home needs according to the guidelines set forth in the Manual J of the Air Conditioner Contractors of America (ACCA).
Always purchase Energy Star units. New air conditioners should have a SEER of 13 or higher. Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. The higher the SEER the more efficient the unit will be.
Promag Energy Group of Orlando offers AC repair and air conditioning maintenance services on all brands of residential air conditioning and heating systems. Our AC technicians are always ready to provide you with quality services. Each technician receives on going training.

I found this great short video on UV-Light and how it kills mold, bacteria and viruses in your AC ducts and AC system. Promag Energy Group uses Ultra Violet Light when cleaning the air ducts in the Orlando to Fort Pierce areas. As you know, many Orlando air conditioners are a breeding ground for mold due to the high humidity we experience for about 10 months out of the year. UV light provides a very effective and non-toxic way to extinguish what ever may be growing in your Orlando Air Conditioning system. Enjoy the video.
It’s baaaack!! That bright green/yellow pollen was on my car this morning in Orlando and no doubt reeking havoc on my sinuses! According to weather.com, Pine and Cedar are the main culprits in the Orlando and Central Florida area at the moment. When you visit weather.com you just click on your area and it gives you a lot of pollen information in an easy to read graph.
Did you know:
The average air duct system in Florida can contain as much as 40 pounds of dust, mold, pollen and other inhabitants, like harmful bacteria and Dust Mites.
One ounce of dust can contain 42,000 Dust Mites, each one expelling over 20 fecal pellets per day.
Promag Energy Group can take care of the pollen and other “contaminants” that has been accumulating in your air duct system all year long. We utilize the latest technology in air duct cleaning services such as, Ultra Violet Light to kill the bacteria in your air ducts.
Save money during these cold spells by setting back your thermostat. Just reducing the temperature by 3 or 4 degrees can save you a nice chunk of change-up to 10% off your bill. To get used to the temperature difference, try lowering the thermostat just 1 degree every 8 hours. This gives your body the chance to adapt and you wont even notice the change.

According to Energy Star.Gov you should verify your Energy Star tax credit eligibility. Not all Energy Star appliances qualify for the credit. Promag Energy Group can provide you with the Manufacturer Certification Statement for the air conditioning equipment you plan to purchase. Or, you can search the Manufacturer’s website. If you are considering purchasing a new Energy Star air conditioning system, some good to know tax credit information is:
Tax Credit: 30% of cost up to $1500.
Expires: December 31, 2010
Details: Must be an existing home & your principal Orlando residence. New construction and rentals do not qualify.
Tax Form Information:
“For products “placed in service” in 2009, you need to file the 2009 Tax Form 5695 and submit it with your 2009 taxes (by April 15, 2010).
On the 2009 1040 form, the residential energy tax credit (from Form 5695) is claimed on line 52.
For products “placed in service” in 2010, you would take the tax credit on your 2010 income taxes.”
Remember to save your receipt and that there is a difference between rebates your electric company may provide for buying Energy Star Equipment and the Federal Tax Credit for Energy Star appliances.

You may be wondering what exactly a heat pump is and how can you benefit from it. Simply put, it is a regular air conditioning unit that can work in reverse. For example, to cool the air in your home, your AC unit will pull the hot air out, circulate it through the system, cool it, and return the newly chilled air back into your home. Heat pumps cool your home like all AC units do but when you switch on the heat during those cold months a very interesting thing happens with heat pumps; the heat pump unit is able to pull heat from the outside air and pump it into your home. Alright, so now you are probably wondering how if it is cold enough outside to need heat, where is the warm air coming from?!? Amazingly, cold air does contain heat and heat pumps can pull even the smallest amount of heat out of the air.
What makes this good for your energy bills? It takes very little energy for a heat pump to work it’s magic. To find out how much a heat pump will help you save annually, check operating costs and electricity prices with your electric company. In Florida, energy costs to heat and cool a home with a heat pump are generally 25-30% less than conventional heating and cooling systems.
If you are considering a heat pump for your home, Promag Energy Group can help you find the heat pump that fits your specific needs and price range.

It was perfect timing this weekend for the cool crisp air to come into Orlando. What not a better time for chilly air then during Thanksgiving weekend. Temperatures in Orlando reached around 40 degrees overnight forcing many homes to turn on their heater. It was a cold weekend with beautiful wind and clear skies. Unfortunately the weather is not here to stay. Hopefully you got to give your Orlando heater a little warm up before the cold winter season at the end of December, early January.
If you did run your heater over the weekend and had any problems, be sure to give us a call at Promag Energy Group. We are your source for Orlando AC Repair & new Installation. If your heater or air conditioner is on the fritz, call us today. 407-380-5560.
I realize that it might be early to blog about running your heater, but it never hurts to prepare early. I can only assume that people won’t be running their heaters for at least a couple of more weeks with the average temperatures in Orlando reaching around 85 degrees. Nevertheless, it’s always a good idea to go over any safety precautions before running your heater.
It has probably been a while since you last ran your heater. Possibly February? Make sure that your heating devices are in good working condition and get your unit inspected with a routine maintenance service. Before you crank up your heating unit, get it inspected and serviced by a certified HVAC contractor.
Do you have a space heater that you use during the winter time? Be sure that your space heater has roughly 3 feet of empty space around it. Never place clothes, paper, or other miscellaneous object on or near the space heater. And of course, if you are leaving the house, always turn off your space heater.
