Getting the Best Performance From Your A/C Equipment

Ducted or ductless, you can have efficient, dependable cooling.

air conditioning Palmer, MACountless homeowners in Palmer and throughout Western Massachusetts know FSi Oil Services as their go-to source for high-quality heating fuel. But we’re here for your comfort year-round. As temperatures start climbing toward summer levels, we are ready if your cooling system needs service. That’s right! The same company that keeps your home’s heating equipment running without interruption in the winter can look after your air conditioning, too!

Here’s a look at the A/C equipment that FSi takes care of.

Central A/C Systems for Whole-Home Cooling

Central air conditioning removes heat and humidity from your home in a continuous cycle. Warm indoor air is drawn into the system, stripped of its heat and moisture and then redistributed as cool, conditioned air through your home’s ductwork. The extracted heat is released outside, and the result is consistent, whole-home comfort controlled from a single source.

Ductless Mini-Splits: A Flexible Alternative

Ductless mini-split systems are an increasingly popular solution for homes without existing ductwork. Each room or zone gets its own compact indoor air handler connected to a single outdoor unit. The result is fast, efficient cooling with the added advantage of zoned temperature control, so you’re only conditioning the spaces you’re actually using.

Mini-splits are also an ideal solution for additions, finished basements, garages and rooms with persistent hot spots.

A/C Not Working? Don’t Panic!

When we start experiencing extended bouts of summer heat in Western Mass, then both ductless mini-splits and central A/C systems can experience service issues.

No one wants to be stuck with a cooling system that won’t come on, blows warm or weak air, cycles constantly, leaks fluid or emits unnerving sounds and odors. Before you pick up the phone and call us for a repair, try some basic troubleshooting steps. You may be able to solve the issue without a professional service call.

If none of the above steps restore cooling, the issue may involve low refrigerant levels, a compressor malfunction or some other issue that a licensed HVAC technician from FSi can diagnose and repair.
