THANKSGIVING KITCHEN TIPS!

Thanksgiving is a few days away, which means lots of food and family! But one thing you want to avoid this holiday season is a clogged kitchen sink. Here are a few tips to remember while cooking this Thanksgiving:

  1. Avoid pouring fatty foods and grease down the kitchen sink. The fatty foods and grease leave build up inside the drain and can cause a very nasty clog. After letting the grease cool down, pour it into an empty jar and throw it away instead.
  2. Be cautious as to what goes into your garbage disposal. Some foods such as potato skins, turkey skin, celery and even pumpkin seeds are harder to properly grind down.
  3. When you do plan to use your garbage disposal, turn on the water and let the disposal run for a few seconds before pouring any food down the drain. 
Even by following these few steps, clogged kitchen drains can still occur. Air Design Systems provides 24-hour service with no additional after-hour charge. So if you and your family run into any plumbing problems this Thanksgiving holiday call Air Design Systems and leave the clogged drains to us! Now that is something to be thankful for!

Air Design Systems also provides 24-hour Heating and Air Conditioning service with no additional after-hour charge. Call 202-COOL night or day, Air Design Systems is on the way!

R-22 FREON PHASE OUT

R-22 Freon has been used in A/C and Refrigeration units since the 1940’s. Due to its chlorine base, which contributes to the depletion of the Earth’s stratospheric ozone, R-22 Freon is now being phased out.  

The year 2010 began the phase-out of R-22 Freon for new equipment. But in the year 2020, R-22 Freon will be phased-out of production completely. However, R-22 Freon will be available in the future but with an increase in cost.   So what is the replacement for R-22 Freon?

R-410A Freon has an increased efficiency and uses less energy which reduces the carbon dioxide emissions into the air. However, R-410A Freon is only compatible with equipment specifically designed and constructed for R-410A Freon. Therefore, an R-22 Freon unit will not be compatible without an upgrade to R-410A.

You can save money by upgrading to a higher efficiency air conditioning and heating system that uses R-410A Freon. The new R-410A compatible units save money with their higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating compared to the older R-22 systems of 10 SEER rating or lower.

Are you considering upgrading your R-22 system to a new energy efficient R-410A system? Call Air Design Systems today to receive your FREE estimate! You can also visit www.airdesignhvac.com to learn more about Air Design Systems and all of our other services we offer!
