The Top 3 Air Conditioning Myths Busted

We field all sorts of questions about Air Conditioning and Heating. Not everything you hear is true regarding your air conditioner. Avoid failing for these three statements. Top three Myths busted that will save you a fortune on air conditioning.

Myth #1:

If it’s not broken, then don’t mess with it.

Yes, your air-conditioning unit may be working perfectly right now, but it still needs regular, preventive maintenance to keep it in tiptop shape and reduce the risks of future breakdowns. Also, be sure to change your filters regularly, at least every three months or so.

Myth #2:

Set the thermostat way low to cool faster.

You may be tempted to set the thermostat to 60 degrees when you quickly want it to be 70 in a hot home. But it will reach 70 at the same rate, no matter what. Most units only have one speed. However, some units now offer low, medium and high settings.

Myth #3:

Location doesn’t matter with the outdoor unit.

Location can affect its overall performance. Reduce the time the condenser unit spends in sunlight by placing it on the north or east side of your house. The extra shade will be beneficial in these long, hot days.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EOMASKd0bbb1fbe95d16XThere are 2 HVAC units at my home.  The upstairs unit stopped working during the hottest days in SoCal so I called Conejo Service and received a next day appointment.  The person who answered the phone was very professional and helpful.  I was given a 2 hour window for the service and told the technician would send a text 15 minutes prior to arrival.  I cannot tell you how many times I've heard this, only to be disappointed when no notice was sent by a technician.

Juan sent a text, as promised, And arrived within the 2 hour window.  Luckily for me, he arrived on the front end of the window vs the tail end.  Prior to entering my home Juan donned shoe covering so as to not track dirt into my home.   I joked about how many times he must do that a day bc he took the covers on and off every time he went in or out.

He diagnosed the issue with the unit.  He explained and showed me exactly what he discovered and discussed the options for repair.

I mentioned that I was having an issue with the second unit as well.  He went through the same process as he had done with the first unit.   I elected to have him service the second unit as well.

Both units are old and will need replacement, but I can wait in a cool house now while I budget that expenditure.

I will absolutely use this family owned business again in the future.EOMASKd0bbb1fbe95d17X

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EOMASKd0bbb1fbe95d18XWe were very pleased with the electrical service received from Ron and Jorge. They did an awesome job adding electricity to 2  bidets. With one of them, the electricity had to be pulled from the garage into the bathroom. It was done seamlessly. Everything was cleaned up and straightened out when they were finished. The plumbers  Miguel and Otto also came to fix a leaking toilet. Once again, they were fast and efficient. They answered several other plumbing questions I had after they finished the job. Great job by all!EOMASKd0bbb1fbe95d19X

Even letting me know when things might be loud so I could choose to step outside.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EOMASKd0bbb1fbe95d30XConejo Valley Plumbing came through for us in a pinch.  We needed a plumber ASAP because our water to the house needed to be shut off due to a broken valve in our garage.  Plumber Ronnie Stoner responded and promptly made the repair.  Really appreciate the excellent service Conejo Valley Plumbing and all of its services have provided for us over the past 11 years (also replaced our roof and HVAC system).   The company consistently provides peace of mind with its services.  Thank you!EOMASKd0bbb1fbe95d31X

EOMASKd0bbb1fbe95d32XElijah Ritz and Vartan Demirjian along with 2 other workers provided outstanding plumbing services at my house today. They made me feel very comfortable by ensuring me they wouldn’t leave unless I was totally satisfied. They installed 3 difficult faucets and 2 toilets with bidets. The toilets/bidets are amazing…if you can call a toilet amazing. Elijah and Vartan were totally professional and knowledgeable.   Elijah oversaw and checked-up on work throughout the project. He was great. Two thumbs and 5 stars!!EOMASKd0bbb1fbe95d33X

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EOMASKd0bbb1fbe95d54XI’m really glad I happened to find Conejo Services. It’s been one of those crazy months where EVERYTHING keeps breaking or falling apart. We’ve had multiple plumbing issues in the past two weeks; and both times Conejo sent James as our plumber. James is honest, kind, thorough, and goes above and beyond to take good care of homeowners.

Beyond James’s professionalism, Conejo has impressed us with their communication style. They text confirmations promptly and also send a photo of the service technician will be, so you are 💯 confident who is knocking on your door is who they say they are.

Seriously relieved to find such a trustworthy company—which is rare these days.EOMASKd0bbb1fbe95d55X
