A home air conditioner is a complex system with many components. While it's not necessary for you to know your system as well as the professionals who install and maintain it, you should have at least a basic understanding of its functions.
When air from the A/C is cool but just not cold enough to make your home comfortable, that generally means there is an internal problem with your air conditioner. Additionally, your system will run longer to cool the air, increasing you energy costs and burdening your cooling system.
During the summer, your air conditioner will generally run for extended periods of time. But the longer your air conditioner runs, the more condensation your unit will produce. If your air conditioner is not functioning properly, you may be at risk for leaks, mold or moisture damage in your home.
It’s as automatic as seeing a green light and putting your foot on the gas: The temperature in your home is hot and stifling so you turn on the air conditioner.
As you finish up your spring cleaning and get ready for summer, don’t forget to put the heat pump on your list. Keeping it clean and free from debris will lower your energy bills and help prevent the need for costly repairs.
If you're considering buying a new home air conditioner, you have to think of it as an investment in your quality of life. That means it needs to keep your home comfortable and help you lower your energy bills. If you take the time to do your research, you can choose the right model and benefit from the decision for years.
If you want to upgrade your home's HVAC equipment, consider a geothermal heat pump system. Although these HVAC appliances cost more initially, they offer substantial ongoing energy and operational savings over the life of the equipment.
If you've heard the news bulletin about the Environmental Protection Agency phasing out R-22 Freon, it may have been framed in a doom-and-gloom perspective. But the fact is, R-22-free A/C is good for you and good for the environment.
As the weather heats up, you may be considering having a new air conditioner installed before the summer really heats up. In order for you to get the most value and efficiency out of your new climate-control system, your HVAC contractor should be familiar with Manual J.
