West Palm Beach Trane Dealer
Every Trane product is designed down to every detail and rigorously tested for reliability and durability. While other manufacturers build their products from the same “pool” of parts available to anyone, we make it a point to be uniquely better, innovative and always looking to the future. To do that, we have to design, build, test, and rebuild some of our own parts. We know they work because we push them well beyond the industry standards, making sure they match the reliability people expect when they own a Trane. From the durable Climatuff® compressor to the exclusive Spine Fin™ coil to the revolutionary Hyperion™ air handler – and a number of other patented innovations – when you own a Trane, you’re getting more than reliable comfort and you’re getting it year after year.
At the SEET lab in Tyler, Texas – which stands for Systems Extreme Environmental Test – Trane products are put through 16 weeks of bone-chilling cold and blistering heat, in repeating two-week sessions. Some units endure over 2,600 hours of continuous testing, including a full week of salt spray to monitor corrosion resistance. Our technicians have tried to break our Climatuff® compressor over 900 ways, which has produced a saying at Trane, if a product doesn’t make it through our test lab it doesn’t get made. By putting our heating and cooling units through 5 years worth of wear and tear in the matter of a few months, we reinforce our philosophy of making products you can rely on for years and years. It’s hard to stop a Trane isn’t just a tagline…it’s been proven.

If you experience allergies, you may be quick to correlate seasonal irritations with outdoor triggers such as ragweed, pollen and mold. However, poor indoor air quality in your own home could be the suspect to blame for runny noses, itchy eyes and in some cases, serious symptoms like respiratory issues, bronchitis and asthma.
The Environmental Protection Agency found in a survey that Americans spend 87% of their lives indoors and that indoor air pollutant levels are up to 100 times higher than levels you may find outside. While it’s alarming to think about how many toxins you are potentially exposed to on a regular basis, there are simple steps you can take to boost the condition of the air you breathe in your home.
Improve indoor air quality
Avoid Smoking Indoors
There is no acceptable level of exposure to secondhand smoke. Smoking indoors one time is enough to pollute the rest of the house, even if you’re in a room with the doors closed.
Vacuum Often
Invest in a durable vacuum and disinfect your carpets regularly to eliminate dust and other pollutants brought in from outside.
Soak Bedding
Wash sheets, pillows and comforters in warm water often to cut down on exposure to dust mites and other allergens.
Crack Windows
Most heating and cooling units recirculate inside air so when weather permits, let fresh air in, if even just for a short time.
Keep a Hygienic Home
Clean your home regularly using non-toxic cleaning supplies.
Discard Unused Chemicals and Paint
Paint outdoors and choose non-toxic adhesive, finishes and varnishes where possible.
Groom Pets
Bathing and brushing your pets regularly will decrease shedding and dander.
Use the Exhaust Fan Over Your Stove
The benefit of an external exhausted range hood is that it pulls out potentially toxic pollutants and gasses from the air in your kitchen.
Use Fans in Bathrooms
Exhaust fans eliminate moisture from the bathroom and reduce fumes from cleaning agents that could potentially cause health issues.
Replace Air Filters
switching out the air filters in your heating and cooling system on a regular basis is crucial to cultivating good indoor air quality in your home.
Clean Air Ducts
Most of the in-home air arrives through ducts as part of your heating and cooling system. Those air ducts can get dirty with microbes, mildew, bacteria and loads of dust and dirt.
Regular duct cleaning can remove built-up debris.
In addition to these essential steps there are several advanced choices for contending with allergy-inducing pollution in your home.
Whole-home central humidifiers keep humidity within one percent of your desired levels throughout your home, creating a healthier environment by lessening dry sinuses, itchy skin and sore throats and keeping wood from deteriorating or warping. They can also curtail the occurrences of bacteria, viruses and respiratory infections. Proper humidification levels are equally important in both hot and cold environments. Too little humidity leaves the body vulnerable to infections whereas too much humidity establishes ideal breeding grounds for mold, mildew and dust mites.
Options for high-efficiency air filtration and cleaners that kill airborne contaminants include High Efficiency Particulate Air Filtration and Germicidal UV Light Systems.
Energy Recovery Ventilation Units bring in the correct amount of outside air which is especially necessary in the fall and winter months ahead.

Fall Air Conditioning
Now is the time to say goodbye to the hot weather. Some of you may begrudgingly drag your sweatshirts out of storage, while others have spent their time trying to decide which hoodie will go best with your first pumpkin spice latte of the season. Regardless of how fall makes you feel, it’s on its way—and winter is on its heels. Edwards Air Conditioning has a few tips for you that will allow you to enjoy the fall and keep your house cozy until next spring. Along with scheduling your ongoing air conditioner Preventative Maintenance from Edwards Air Conditioning, use this checklist to prepare for the change in season.
Take Care of Your Air Filter.
Your AC worked hard for you through the hot Palm Beach Gardens months. Before you give your AC a vacation for the cooler months, check your air filter and exchange it if it’s dirty. This will help your air conditioner work more efficiently and keep dust and pollutants from moving through your house as the seasons change.
Let Some Fresh Air In.
With the temperatures dropping, open up your windows and give your indoor air quality a boost. The air inside your home can be several times more polluted than outdoor air, so take this time to bring in fresh air before winter’s chill begins.
Be Sure Vents and Registers are Clear.
Sometimes furniture gets rearranged as you switch from outdoor living in the warmer months to being inside more as the days get cooler and shorter. Ensure that none of your vents or registers are blocked as you rearrange. This will make it harder for your HVAC system to perform effectively and could cause an unwelcomed hike in your utility costs.
Check for Air Leaks.
The heat of summer can put wear on weather-stripping. Examine your windows and doors for leaks that could let heated air out of your home this winter. Air leaks are responsible for reducing heating efficiency and increasing your heating bills. Stop leaks by replacing caulking and weather-stripping where needed.
Once this simple checklist is done, you can sit back and take in all the beauty and fun that fall offers. Reach out to Edwards Air Conditioning and we’ll take care of some of this checklist for you. Together, we’ll ensure you head into winter confident about staying warm and cozy. You can reach us at 561-747-5795 or you can conveniently schedule an appointment with us online.
HVAC Maintenance after a Hurricane
Hurricane-force winds, power outages and flooding have a very negative impact on a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Weather is something that is out of our control, but you can always prepare your HVAC system to minimize damages caused by hurricanes.
In order to protect and maintain your HVAC system, you should be aware of the potential problems that these storms pose. An outdoor HVAC unit may end up having a damaged circuitry due to high winds. Air flow problems are caused by dirt and other loose objects that may have become airborne. Under extreme weather conditions, the unit may also be forced out of position—often ending up in the ground. AC maintenance takes a beating when exposed to water.
Several steps need to be taken prior to a storm so as to ensure the longevity of your HVAC system. You should make sure the system is turned off. The exterior portion of the unit should be covered completely. Loose equipment has the tendency to damage the unit, as it may fly around during the hurricane. So it is recommended that any such equipment is steered clear of your HVAC unit.
Even with the above mentioned preparedness steps, it is important that you invest a lot of time in the unit’s maintenance and safety steps that need to be taken post-storm. Some of these are as enumerated below.
Don’t turn on the unit
You should not turn on your unit as soon as the storm passes. Careful inspection of the entire unit is a must. You should carefully check for any damages to the exterior portion. Steps need to be taken to check if any debris has infiltrated the unit. Debris in the unit, if any, has to be completely removed. Now, if everything seems fine, you can turn on the HVAC system.
Check for flooding
The steps that need to be taken after the hurricane passes are very crucial in protecting your unit. Due to the storm, it is likely that the unit may be flooded. Therefore, it is very important that the unit is carefully inspected for any damages. Flooding with salt water needs to be cleaned efficiently as this water should not be allowed, under any circumstances, inside the unit.
Clean the tubes
The tubes of the HVAC unit should be cleaned before re-using the system. These tubes may have microbial growth due to the water that may flood them during the storm, which needs to be diligently cleaned.
Measure the airflow
Hurricanes severely affect the airflow in the HVAC unit. Airflow levels need to be measured and then compared to the expected flow levels of the specific type of industrial air conditioning unit that you are using. They need to be adjusted for proper functioning of your unit.
Replace broken sensors
Sensors are also an important part of the HVAC unit. Failed sensors can greatly affect the performance of the unit. This eventually leads to increased power consumption. The storm may cause certain sensors to break, and fixing these sensors before restarting your unit should be done carefully.
Even after carrying out these maintenance steps on your HVAC unit, it is recommended that you contact a certified technician to come and help you with fixing your HVAC unit for any damages that the storm may have caused. A certified technician can help you fix any damages that you may not be able to recognize. They can help remove debris from internal areas that you may not have been able to reach. At times, some form of wildlife might take refuge in your air conditioning unit which the technician can identify and remove. Asking a professional to check your system before you start re-using it is a good choice.
It is essential that you take the necessary preparedness steps before a hurricane or storm strikes, because only then can the above mentioned maintenance steps protect your HVAC unit from severe damages. After the storm has passed make sure you get your HVAC system thoroughly checked by a certified HVAC contractor.
Contact our team to ensure safety for your unit so that your HVAC unit makes out of the storm safe and secure.
Here are some helpful tips to help protect your Air Conditioning system during and after a Hurricane.
Air conditioner prep before the storm
Getting your air conditioner ready for a hurricane isn’t super complicated, but it can save you a lot of time, money and frustration later.
Here are 3 things you should to do before the storms arrive:
Secure your AC
Do you have a split AC system with the outside unit on the ground? (Most Florida homeowners do). If so, your air conditioner should be installed on a concrete pad and bolted to the concrete with hurricane straps, as shown in the picture above.
This will help prevent the air conditioner from going airborne during a hurricane or storm.
Protect the AC’s electrical components
Hurricanes and tropical storms cause surges of power through your home. These surges can ruin your air conditioner’s important electrical components. So we highly recommend installing a surge protector for your air conditioner.
Also, turn off the AC before the storm arrives.
Cover the AC unit before the storm
Hurricanes do damage by throwing objects into other objects. So even if your air conditioner is properly secured, it can become damaged from airborne objects during a storm.
Before the storm arrives, cover your air conditioner with a tarp or homemade plywood structure to keep objects from hitting the air conditioner. (Of course, make sure to turn off the AC before covering it!)
These tips should help you minimize damage to your air conditioner during the storm. But there are a few things you should do after the storm as well.
After the storm passes
Before turning on your air conditioner, inspect it and make sure everything’s OK. Running your air conditioner with a problem can make the problem even worse.
After a storm, run through this quick checklist before starting up your AC again:
We also recommend getting your AC checked out by a professional (especially if there are any signs of problems). Better to be safe than sorry, after all.
These tips should be combined with your other hurricane preparedness tasks to ensure you still have a working air conditioner after the storm has passed.
So call Edwards Air Conditioning today to make sure your Air Conditioner is prepared or after the storm to check the status of your system after the storm.

Every manufacturer will say that their products are the best, but when industry experts give a tip of the hat to your work, that’s backing it up with proof. Popular Mechanics dubbed the Trane ComfortLink™ II control as one of The Year’s Most Transformative Products, awarding it their 2010 Breakthrough Award. A Harvard-led, independent research project evaluated the air cleaning performance of several in-duct and portable devices, and found conclusively that Trane CleanEffects™ is the world’s most effective whole-house air filtration system. So, while we’re known for reliable heating and air conditioning, we also seem to be setting the industry standard in smart home and clean air technology, because your home comfort deserves constant innovation.
In a perfect world, you would always have the most efficient cooling system on the market. Unfortunately, that would require getting a new system every couple of years. You can’t always have the newest, shiniest system, but that doesn’t mean yours can’t operate at max efficiency. There are a few simple things you can do to help your system running at its best.
The first step in improving your systems efficiency is to have your system regularly maintained. When you sign up for our maintenance agreements, you automatically receive two maintenance visits a year. It’s an easy way to ensure your system is kept up and running without having to remember when you last had someone check it out. You also receive discounts on any services needed. A monthly maintenance tasks you can easily take on yourself is changing your air filter.
Aside from maintenance, cleaning may be the most important way to keep your system clear of blockages. Externally, make sure your registers are clear of furniture and wall hangings so the maximum amount of air can get through. The next step is to clean your ductwork of dust, insulation, and other particles. This will increase your systems air flow and raise your air quality. You will also want to ensure there is no debris on your outdoor condenser unit.
The way your home is set up can also affect efficiency. First and foremost, keep heat producing appliances like lamps away from your thermostat. You may also want to avoid using the dryer, oven, or other hot appliances during peak temperature hours. This will help your home maintained the proper temperature overall. Other tip for increasing efficiency is to use natural light to your advantage. Allow open curtains to heat your home or close them to keep heat out. And don’t be afraid to turn your unit off and enjoy mild temperatures as they come.
Increasing your air conditioner’s efficiency can give you significant savings on your energy costs. Implementing the tips above is a great start to becoming more efficient. If you still aren’t happy with your efficiency rating, contact us to learn what a new system has to offer.

South Florida has a unique quality when it comes to air conditioning repairs. The ultra humid climate creates obstacles for your air conditioning system which are not typical in other areas of the United States.
There are two types of heat that your air conditioning system is tasked with removing from your living space, latent heat and sensible heat. The latent heat is contained in the moisture within your living space and is the most difficult to overcome by your air conditioning system. Sensible heat is the actual temperature reading you see on a thermostat.
Edwards Air Conditioning are experts at sizing your air conditioning system. Sizing properly is critical if you want to maximize comfort in your home. If your air conditioning system is too large you will lower your sensible temperature quickly, but the latent heat will remain. This will cause your air conditioning system to short cycle and you will notice that the air remains humid. When an air conditioning system is properly sized, you will remove the latent heat as well as lower the sensible heat (temperature) in a manner that satisfies your comfort level more accurately. It matters not what brand of air conditioning system you have, whether it’s a Trane, or a Lennox, Goodman or any brand, sizing is critical.
To see if your air conditioning system is properly sized, call Edwards Air Conditioning. We proudly serve Martin and Palm Beach County.
