It’s officially hot in Orlando! The temperature was over 90 this weekend and the humidity was extremely high as well. If you noticed that your air conditioning unit was continuously running but your home never really cooled down, then you were not alone, many Orlando and Central Florida residents had the same problem. To avoid any emergency AC repair situations, here is a quick over view of some preventative measures you can take:
Clean and replace your filters every 1-3 months depending on the filter.
Get your ac unit inspected every season.
Keep the area around your outdoor condenser clear of dirt, leaves and debris.
Be on the look out for leaks in duct work.
Keep your air conditioner fan set on auto, not on.
If you need your AC repaired, Promag Energy Group is a true 24/7 Orlando air conditioning repair company and will never charge you an after hour charge. Contact us today for more information.
ProMag Energy Group of Orlando Offers Some Relief To Allergy Sufferers
ProMag Energy group, an Orlando based heating and air conditioning company may offer Orlando allergy sufferers some temporary relief from the “yellow stuff” floating around all over town. The company just announced that it will be providing FREE duct cleaning services and a FREE UV light air sanitizing system with each new air conditioning system it installs. Air duct cleaning (if done properly) can remove literally pounds of contaminents. The average duct system can contain as much as 40 pounds of dust, mold, pollen and other inhabitant, like harmful bacteria and Dust Mites. Get as much relief as you can during this harsh allergy season. As a part of a complete system including a high efficiency air cleaner, the UV light enhances indoor quality by reducing the amount of fungi, bacteria and other pollutants in the air; resulting in a much more comfortable, bacteria free home or office.
JD Harris, owner of ProMag Energy Group, is very excited to help local residents who not only need an updated AC unit, but who could also use some relief from this (what seems to be) unforgiving allergy season. “We haven’t seen allergy problems like this in Orlando for years.

You know how if you have any pollen allergies you feel congested, tired and sluggish all the time? It’s the same for your air conditioner. Think of your AC filter as the stuffy nose. It is congested with pollen and restricts airflow to your AC unit. Let your air conditioner breath….change your filter every couple of weeks during this high pollen season to help maintain the health of your air conditioning unit.
You want to use a filter with a medium to high MERV ratio.
MERV is an efficiency ratio to determine the ability of air conditioners filters to capture a particle when it passes through the air filters.The air conditioning filters efficiency values (MERV) are numbered 1 to 16. The MERV efficiency is measured in microns.
The higher MERV number, the better the air filters ability to remove particles.The lowest ratios provide protection for the the air conditioning unit itself and the middle and higher ratios filter out mildew, spores, pollen, and even viruses.

“Thousands of U.S. homes tainted by Chinese drywall should be gutted, according to new guidelines released Friday by the Consumer Product Safety Commission”.
If you have seen the news at all the last couple of years you have seen the reports on the trouble the drywall from China has caused new homeowners over the last two years.
It started in 2006 with reports of a rotten egg smell and throat and nose irritations. As time passes, the amount of overall damage this bad drywall has caused is coming to light.
According to the New Guidelines, anything containing copper needs to be removed and replaced. The above photo is a picture of air conditioner coils showing evidence of corrosion. Eventually the corrosion will cause the coils to spring leaks and the home owner will be in need of an immediate AC repair. All homeowners should check their AC coils for evidence of corrosion or damage to prevent emergency repair situations.
What are home owners doing about it?
“About 2,100 homeowners have filed suit in federal court in New Orleans against Chinese manufacturers and U.S. companies that sold the drywall. U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon is expected to rule soon in a pivotal case against the Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co., the only Chinese company that has responded to U.S. suits.
Separate claims by thousands more homeowners against Chinese manufacturers are pending, said Jordan Chaikin, a Florida lawyer whose firm represents about 1,000 homeowners.
This has no doubt been a very exhausting and frustrating struggle for the many homeowners affected by this tainted drywall. I can’t even imagine being told that my new home has to be gutted and I have to start over. Our thoughts are with the homeowners for a satisfactory end to all the chaos the Chinese drywall has caused.
If your Orlando home was damaged by the drywall and you are in need of AC repair due to corrosion around your coils, please call your Orlando AC Repair Specialists, PROMAG ENERGY GROUP for an estimate……..407-380-5560
I wanted to share this information I found on the Grist Blog…According to Professor Matthew Kotchen and his PhD student Laura E. Grant, both from the University of California at Santa Barbara, Daylight- Saving Time wastes energy!US News had listed some facts about DST. One was that DST was set into place during World War 1 to help us conserve energy but the findings of the Kotchen/ Grant Paperreport that consumers paid over $8 million more in electric bills than areas in the US that do not acknowledge.
Hopefully this report and many others like it i.e., the Australian Study will encourage our nation to abolish the Daylight-Saving Time program!

This is the latest and greatest in energy saving roof coatings. It is a coating for your roof made out of discarded cooking oil from restaurants! Does this mean in the summertime our roofs smell like french fries?
So far this coating surpasses all the other energy saving roof coatings. What makes it so special? Well unlike it’s predecessors, this coating reflects heat in the summer and absorbs it in the winter time. Thus, saving you big $$ on your heating and cooling bills. The other less adequate coatings will save energy in the summer or winter but not both.
Anything that reflects the heat in Orlando and saves money on my air conditioning bill is welcome at my home!
Stop throwing your money out the window! A major culprit in wasted energy is the windows in your home.Are your windows old or poorly caulked? The Orlando heat and humidity causes the caulking around your windows to quickly deteriorate. Replacing the old caulk every 2-3 years will help save on your power bills and air conditioner repair bills.
If your home has old windows (20-30 years), it would be a good idea to replace them. Windows made today are crafted to be energy efficient. I have installed a new window on the west side of my home that gets the full blast of the extreme 3:30 Orlando sun. What makes this window unique is that when the sun hits it, the window automatically tints itself! It is not too late to apply for the $1500 tax credit for adding energy efficient items to your home. You have until April 15th to file.
Window blinds are also an option. “When properly installed, window shades can be one of the simplest and most effective window treatments for saving energy.”
Promag Energy Group recommends checking the caulking around your windows, consider window blinds, and if you are able, replace outdated windows.

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.
