DONATE There is no exercise better for the heart and soul than reaching out and lifting others up. When life is pressing on you and stressing you out, pause, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that you are not at the center of the universe.  When you’re overwhelmed by life’s daily struggles, it’s so easy to feel like you’re at the center. But you aren’t. None of us are.  Truth be told, we all have the occasional tendency to put ourselves at the center and see everything in life from the viewpoint of how it affects us. This can have all kinds of unfavorable effects, from feeling ..read more

Fall has arrived suddenly, and there’s no turning back now (or so we hope). Sweater and jeans weather is here (if not, we will be burning water weight due to the heat and excessive clothing).  I can’t recall such a long and record breaking heat in September to the middle of October to this crisp cool snap of air — morphing from a weather pattern filled with 90-degree highs (a record number, in fact) to one in the low 60s or even cooler. Most years, the transition from summer to fall is gradual. Temperatures slowly fall from the 90-80s in August through the 80-70s by late September and ev ..read more

  It was a typical day in Greer, SC, for Affordable Air Experts. We received a call from a potential new customer that would soon change our day and lives. The customer asked, “Do you sell used units? We have not had heating or cooling for over two (2) years?” I explained that we do not sell used equipment, but we may be able to repair your unit. Upon talking further to the customer, I asked if we could come out and provide a free quote to see if we can salvage the ductwork and or unit and possibly see if we can get the unit up and running. When we went out, I received a phone call expla ..read more

Annual Heat Inspection … “Should I???” or “Shouldn’t I???” That seems to be the question! Heat pump and furnace manufacturers all recommend annual inspections by qualified technicians. They also have a language in their warranties stating that any damage to parts due to lack of maintenance is NOT covered under warranty. {Yikes!} Does this mean an annual check is required or the warranty is voided? Check with your manufacturer, it is recommended. Why give them an easy way out of covering repairs? The best analogy I can give is, you change the oil in your car (which has mechanical moving parts ..read more

Define Perspective: I’m too poor to buy cheap, I cannot afford to do that. Every time I have bought something cheap I have saved on the front end. However, if you think about it and be honest the savings were really an illusion. How you ask? Simple the item either broke and I had to buy another or it did not work and I had to go and buy a better quality like product. Why would you do that with such an important cost like your home comfort and needs? Be honest and ask yourself and answer honestly did that cheap savings really save you?

Why Humidifying Your Home in Winter is Important? Dry air causes a host of issues, including dry skin, the spread of viruses, and even damage to home and property. Humidifying the home is the best way to alleviate these problems, and whole-house humidification is the most practical and thorough means of doing so if the problem exists throughout your home. Why Humidifying Your Home is Necessary? Cold air holds less moisture. Keeping the cold air out and turning on the heat, will help to restore some of that moisture. These are some of the side effects, and warning signs, of indoor air that is t ..read more
