When severe weather strikes Florida, there is always the chance that Alabama will be affected too, and with Hurricane Dorian making national headlines, you want to be prepared! Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to get ready:
- Shut off power to the major appliances in your home: You want to turn off the power to appliances like your air conditioner in order to protect them against power surges.
- Gather the essentials: Make sure you’ve got a fresh supply of water, some canned food, a can opener, a flashlight, extra batteries, a first aid kit, garbage bags, some basic tools, and a whistle.
- Make sure your whole-house generator is up and running: You want to be absolutely certain that your whole-house generator is fully equipped to keep you and your family safe during the storm. To do that, schedule your generator services with our team now!
The team here at Douglas Cooling & Heating wishes you the best of luck over the next few days. Stay safe, everyone!

If you own a heat pump, you know just how great they are — these nifty little HVAC systems are efficient, effective, and can provide year-round comfort with just the flip of a switch! But, no matter how great your heat pump is, eventually, it is going to need to be replaced.
Now that summer is here, the last thing you need is a broken down air conditioner, right? Well, we hate to be the bearer of bad news, but sometimes things happen, and before you know it, you could be stuck dealing with a faulty AC! And sure, while you might be tempted to wait until the end of summer to schedule your repairs, we can assure you that is not the best idea.
If you don’t already own a heat pump, consider installing one! These systems are efficient, effective, and are becoming quite popular for their ability to provide year-round comfort with just the flip of a switch—don’t worry, we’ll touch more on that later! Frankly, it’s rather difficult for us to think of reasons why you shouldn’t consider installing a heat pump in your home!
We understand that having to replace your air conditioner can seem a bit overwhelming: it’s pricy, it’s time-consuming, and how do you even begin to narrow down all of your cooling options? Well fortunately for you, hiring a team of qualified AC experts is one way to make the process much easier! Plus, there are just so many benefits of upgrading your system!
Summer is nearly here! Before you know it you’ll be doing all your favorite summertime things, like going to your neighbor’s house for a barbeque, eating ice cream at your favorite scoop shop, and finally perfecting your tan!
Summer is coming, which means that before you know it, temperatures will start to climb. Obviously, then, you’ll switch on your air conditioner, sit back, and enjoy the cooling relief, right? Well, what happens if your air conditioner is incapable of cooling every space of your home… then what do you do?
Owning a ductless system sure is a lot of fun — not only do you get to enjoy lower energy costs and fewer repairs, but you also get the added joy of year-round comfort! Cold outside? Use your ductless system! Summertime? Turn on your ductless system! No matter the time of year, you get to enjoy all of the benefits your system has to offer! But, like all HVAC systems, your ductless system is going to require repairs from time to time.
