Your Heater is Expired

Did you know that your a/c and heater don't last typically over 4 years. However, there is a way that you can extend the life of your heater and a/c. The secret is to get quality parts and a good service tech to perform maintenance on your system on a regular basis. That way they will be able to catch problems before they turn into huge issues. For example if you invensys HVAC controls are starting to wear down you can get those repaired along with your barber coleman parts. That is why it is important to make sure that you are using a quality system and repairman because the four years of quality lifetime usage from your system can be extended even further, but the best part is when it is extended to up to eight years!

If You Think It's Hot Inside...


We all have gotten a little comfortable with A/C and being comfortable in our homes. A new joke that people are starting to throw around is the phrase "first world problem." It pokes fun at the discomfort expressed by Americans about things the rest of the world only dreams about.

It is a humbling reminder that we never have it as bad as we think we have it. There are places around the world that are in much more desperate need of help than us. So the next time you think it's hot inside, think about what it's like if you didn't even have A/C in the first place. There are a much larger portion of people around the world that don't have it as easy as people do in the US and for that reason remind our readers to stay focused on the joy of being an American. In a first world country like ours, it is easy to forget the joys that we enjoy everyday, so we must remember how blessed we all really are.

Thanks for reading. Please check out our other blogs HVAC Supply and our Barber Coleman Parts blog for more information about HVAC parts and supplies.

Quick Repair Ideas for your Air Conditioner

Air conditioners often fail at the worst possible times. When it is extremely hot, you don't want your air conditioner to suddenly stop working. But if it does, there are some simple steps you can take to try to fix the problem yourself. Below is a list of the 4 most common air conditioning problems encountered, with some advice on how to fix them yourself rather than paying for the expensive air conditioning repairman.

1. Check The Controller - If the controller has been incorrectly used, the air conditioner will not function. HVAC systems have different settings for cooling and heating, and your air conditioner will not function if the wrong setting is used. If you are still struggling, try looking in your operation manual or ask the contractor who sold you the system for advice. If still no luck, have a look on the internet for some handy tips. Just search for the model type, for example you might need Barber Colman parts. You also might have some luck at your local HVAC supply store.

2. Clean The Filters - So many air conditioners struggle because the owners do not clean the filters. Cleaning the filter is ongoing maintenance that you should be performing at least once every few months. Cleaning your air conditioners filters can often fix a problem straight away.

3. Examine The Compressor - If your compressor fails your whole air conditioning system will fail. Check around the compressor for any signs of damage or wear and tare. Listen to the compressor for any irregular noises. Look around the compressor for ice build up as well. If you notice any of these things, it may be a sign of a more serious problem and you should call in an air conditioning contractor to inspect the system.

4. Reset The Power - Just like computers, a simple reset can often fix a hvac system. All you need to do is go to the meter box and turn the unit off. If fitted, there may also be an isolator switch at the compressor you can also turn off. Turn both these switches off for a few minutes before turning back on. It is a simple thing to try but it works quite a lot of the time.

If you have tried all of these points, hopefully you have has some success and your air conditioner is now working. If not, it is time to call in the air conditioning contractor.

The Value of Shopping for HVAC Parts Online

This all worked well but the problem is that they were limited in their ability to research their HVAC supply prices and available to them. They might think that the best part was what a representative told them works best, but after doing a little research on the internet modern businesses may find that a certain tool or part might be even better than the one that they have been using.


The internet has brought about many advantages in today's business economy and these changes will forever change the way that people are able to make a living without even considering the way that others formally had to deal with confusing business issues. For example, for heating and air-conditioning repair shops finding the right part and supplies often meant that they had to trust a local parts dealer or order the special parts from a catalog by calling a phone number.
 
The other reason why the internet has changed the HVAC industry is because dealers now have to compete not only regionally, but also nationally as well. Parts and supplies are just a click away and when you can get Invensys HVAC controls from the comfort of your computer, then the local dealers have another reason to keep their stock priced low and ofter a good selection.

There's no reason why HVAC shops and repairmen have to rely on local store and dealers to get their products. With online HVAC stores businesses can now have the power to get what they need, when they need it, from anyone they want to buy it from.

Honeywell HVAC Parts

The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning business is a strong industry that has seen more and more growth as homes all over the United States have had an increase in the total feet of ventilation and duct installed in each home. As homes become increasingly diverse in the types of HVAC installation, professionals are now forced to keep a bigger stock of parts, but the problem is that keeping all those parts in-house is expensive. Luckily there is an alternative to creating extra storage space for replacement parts, simply order the parts you need as you need them from an online store that has fast shipping and a huge inventory in stock.

There are many popular brands that repairmen must be prepared to handle, like Barber Coleman parts. Online stores have the advantage over local retail supply stores, because they can offer a higher in-stock inventory without having to jack up the price of each item. Retail stores have a higher overhead price to keep their storefront stocked and staffed, but online stores have a lower overhead cost and that lower cost will translate directly to the products. For example, a HVAC supply online store with carry a wider range of brands so that HVAC repair shops can maintain a wider range of homes no matter what brand or products they use to control their heating and air.

As a business owner, making small decisions like this is critical to maintaining a healthy company and keeping your overhead as low as possible. The internet has provided many benefits to the world and easy discounted shopping is one of the advantages that businesses must take advantage of on a regular basis.
