✅ HOW OFTEN DOES AC NEED TO BE SERVICED ❓

🔺 The filters, coils, and fins of an air conditioner need regular maintenance for the unit to operate smoothly throughout its years of service.

🔺 Neglecting essential air conditioning repair service and maintenance leads to a steady decline in its operation while energy consumption steadily rises.

🔺 Regardless of the type of your air conditioning system, it should be inspected, cleaned, and tuned at least once a year.

🔺 The best schedule you can follow is to have the HVAC system examined in the Fall, and the air conditioning inspected in the Spring. Oil-fired apparatus should entirely be cleaned and serviced yearly; at the starting of each heating season.

✅ How Do Swamp Coolers Work? ❓

👉 A swamp cooler, also called an ev***rative cooler, work by the cooling effect of ev***ration.

👉 If you have ever gotten out of a swimming pool on a windy day and become cold, it works much the same way.

👉 Water is pumped up to the top of the cooler to pads which become soaked in water.

👉 A motor turns a larger blower which blows air into a home pulling air past the wet pads.

👉 As the air passes the wet pads it becomes cold which can cool down a home.

✅ SIGNS THAT YOU NEED A NEW WATER HEATER ✅

🔻 Lack of Hot Water
👉 If your water heater is no longer producing enough hot water for your home, a water heater replacement may be necessary. Water heaters become less effective at heating water as they get older. The volume of hot water that water heaters can produce also gets lower over time due to the development of sediment in the tank.

🔻 Leaking Water
👉 If water or excess moisture has accumulated around your water heater, it may indicate a crack in the water tank. The cracks can develop when the metal tank expands as it heats up. Water may leak through these cracks, and the leak will typically stop once the metal tank has cooled down.

👉 Once the water tank has cracked, you’ll need to get a new water heater. But, check that the connections and fittings to the water tank, as well as the temperature and pressure overflow pipe, aren’t the source of the leakage.

🔻 Rusty Water
👉 A telltale sign that you need a new water heater is rusty water coming out of your tap. When water and metal are exposed to each other continuously, corrosion will eventually occur. This leads to the development of rust. If you notice rusty water from warm tap water, your water heater is most likely reaching the end of its lifespan and could start leaking. But, it’s important to note that rusty water can also be an indicator of rusty pipes for homeowners with galvanized piping.

🔻 Noise
👉 When your water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan, you may start to hear unusual sounds from it. Rumbling and banging sounds are common in older water heaters and indicate that sediment has hardened at the bottom of the water tank. This sediment can accumulate as the water heater gets older and frequent reheating causes it to harden.

👉 It’s important to have a noisy water heater checked out by a professional. The layer of sediment at the bottom of the tank will seriously compromise the efficiency of the heater and it will require more power to operate than usual. As the water heater works harder to do its job, the risk of damage to the tank will get higher and a leak could develop.

✅ Problem: The A/C Won’t Turn On ✅

👉 If your air conditioner won’t turn on, you’re likely dealing with an electrical issue. You may have a tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, loose or damaged wiring on your hands. In these cases, you may simply need to replace the fuse or restart the circuit breaker. If that doesn’t work, try the following strategies:

🔻 Check the thermostat to ensure that it’s on the “cool” setting.
🔻 Check the electrical panel to ensure that the AC unit is getting power.
🔻 Check that the switches/buttons around your AC unit are on. This includes the external safety switch, which is typically close to the condensing unit.
🔻 Check that the condensation overflow tray hasn’t accumulated an excess of water.
🔻 Check that the air handler’s blower door has been closed completely.

✅ HOW CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM OPERATE ❓

🔻 Although central air conditioners vary from model to model, nonetheless, they operate on similar principles. The components that make up your central air conditioning system consist of the condensing unit, which is the large steel structure located outside your house. Inside the condensing unit are the air conditioner condenser coils, the compressor, and the condenser fan motor. The ev***rative or ev***rator coils are located in your house and are mounted on most commonly installed on top of your furnace or air handler.

🔻 Your furnace or air handler uses a circulation blower fan that draws air through the return vent, blows it past the ev***rator coils, and then forces the air through your home’s venting system. The room air in your house is then drawn back through the return vent, and your home’s airflow cycle continues. Once the air in your home has cooled sufficiently, your wall thermostat sensors will signal the circulation blower fan and a condensing unit to turn off until the room temperature in your home warms sufficiently.

🔻 This process can be broken down into three main factors: temperature control, cooling, and air circulation. The temperature in your home is regulated by your home’s wall thermostat. Your thermostat is most likely powered by a control board or by batteries. It is important that your thermostat is in a centrally located area in your home. It should be positioned at eye level, and away from direct sunlight to reduce errors in temperature regulation. When the thermostat detects an increase in temperature, it closes the cooling circuit. This allows voltage to travel to the control board in your thermostat. The control board uses a programmed time sequence that sends 120 volts of alternating current to the blower fan motor in your furnace, and 24 volts to the condensing unit contactor to begin the cooling process. When the condensing unit contactor draws electricity, it sends 240 volts that flow to the disconnect box, then to the compressor and condenser fan motor. The disconnect box provides a way to turn off power to the condensing unit outside which contains a cartridge with fuses inside. If the compressor and condenser fan motor don’t respond, your disconnect box fuses should be tested for continuity to assess if the continuous electrical path is operating properly.

🔻 Your air conditioning compressor works like a pump by compressing refrigerant into a gas form which passes through the condenser coils, where the gas is condensed into a hot liquid. The condenser coils absorb the heat as the liquid travels through them, and then a fan is used to help the coils in this heat removal process. After the refrigerant has passed through the condenser coils, it travels to the ev***rator coils on the furnace or the air handler. As the refrigerant liquid flows through the condenser coils, it turns into a gas, which cools the coils. Then the gas flows through the coils to the suction line and adheres to the compressor. The compressor changes the gas back into a liquid, and the cooling cycle resets. The water in the air condenses on the cold ev***rator coils, which then rains down into a set of collection trays. The trays are usually attached to a condensate pump or a floor drain. Always remember to keep the condenser unit clean and free of debris. If the condenser unit’s coils get obstructed, the heat from them will not disperse properly and your air conditioning unit will not operate properly. Commonly people use a garden hose to clean the condenser unit by spraying water from the inside, out to remove yard debris.

🔻 It’s important to know that airflow is the most important factor for your air conditioning unit to operate efficiently. To maintain proper airflow, your air filter should be checked monthly and replaced as required. You can buy various air conditioning filters that are 1 to 5 inches thick. Your air conditioning’s air filter should be positioned in the return or air cleaner slot. Some homes are equipped with an electronic air filter. Electronic air filters are powered by the furnace or air handler control board once the circulation blower fan is engaged. Your blower fan motor has the ability to operate at multiple speeds which can improve your air conditioner’s efficiency. Lower speeds are best when the furnace is heating (750 CFM) and higher speeds are best for air conditioning. If the circulation blower fan is loud when operating, the sound screw on the blower wheel is probably loose which causes the rotating wheel to wobble on the motor shaft. You can fix this problem by tightening or replacing the screw or replacing the blower wheel.

✅ WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO REPLACE YOUR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM ❓

👉 With more intense summer heat just around the corner, you want to make sure you have the best air conditioning systems to help you beat the heat. There are just some days where it is too hot to sit outside and enjoy the summer weather, so you will want to sit inside in your air conditioned house.

👉 So, when is the best time to replace your air conditioning system to make sure you don’t get caught without it during the hottest time of year?

👉 Because summer is the season you’ll need your air conditioning the most, make sure you get it replaced before it becomes too hot. The typical time to get it replaced is the end of September to mid-November or the beginning of March to the end of May.

👉 These are the times of year where the weather is most mild, and if you don’t have air conditioning for a few hours, a day or two, it won’t be as unbearable as it would be during the hotter or colder months.

👉 Air conditioners are not able to provide heat, but they do include heat pumps that can help heat your house during the colder winter months. Because they include heat pumps, you’ll want to steer clear of replacing your air conditioning during the winter.

✅ WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONERS ❓

👉 Central air conditioners are the most efficient type of air conditioning for your home. They equally distribute air into each room of your house through one system, and it can be adjusted per room so everyone in your family gets the temperature they desire.

👉 Before purchasing a central air conditioner for your home, make sure you look into the details of it to find if it is best for your home. For instance, what are the components of central air conditioners?

🔻 The Ev***rator Coil

👉 The ev***rator coil is a crucial component of a central air conditioner. It’s the part that is connected to the heat pump and absorbs the heat in your house, and is a main part of what keeps your home at the temperature you like and comfortable for you to live in.

👉 The HVAC air filter makes sure your ev***rator coil is shielded from the dirt and debris in your home, so that only the heat can get into the ev***rator coil. This ensures there will be less maintenance for that part and it will save you money.

🔻 The Compressor

👉 The compressor is another important component in a central air conditioner. The compressor is in the middle of your air conditioner and is the hottest part of it.

👉 The compressor takes the warm refrigerant — the substance that causes cooling — and compresses it into a denser foam. Without this component, the refrigerant would ultimately not be able to cool the inside of your house.

👉 This vital piece also moves the refrigerant between the ev***rator coil and the next piece, the condenser foil.

🔻 The Condenser Coil

👉 Your compressor may be the one compressing the refrigerant into a denser form and moving it between the ev***rator coil and this piece, but the condenser coil is the one that changes the refrigerant into its liquid state.

👉 The condenser coil increases the pressure on the refrigerant as a gas and moves it into its liquid state. This is a crucial part of the process because while the condenser coil does this, the heat from the refrigerant is released outdoors, allowing the cool air to come into your home.

🔻 The Expansion Valve

👉 The expansion valve is the final component of your central air conditioner that deals with the refrigerant.

👉 This piece takes the liquid refrigerant and allows it to expand and turn into a v***r rather than a liquid. The expansion valve also makes the v***r more like a cold mist than a hot gas, where it will then make its trip back to the ev***rator and be released into your home.

✅ 6 Fall HVAC Maintenance Tips for October ✅

🔻 It’s hard to believe that Summer 2021 has come and gone. It’s now October with Fall just around the corner and Winter not far behind.

🔻 It’s time to start thinking about packing up the summer stuff and getting ready for bonfires, football and hot cocoa.

🔻 It’s also time to start buttoning up the summer HVAC system and prepping the furnace for its job ahead. Here are 6 things you should do this October to finish off summer and prepare for winter.

👉 Change the air filter. Give your furnace a fresh start. Even though you may still be running the AC here and there while the dog days of summer stick around, it’s a good idea to pop in a new, fresh filter.

👉 Get a professional end-of-season AC tune-up. While you can do a lot on your own to wind down your AC system, it’s a good idea to have a professional HVAC technician out to preop the unit for winter. This is especially important if you neglected to get a tune-up before summer started. A tech can also make sure nothing is leaking and discourage mildew from forming or stop a small problem before it becomes a large problem.

👉 Clear the area. During the summer weeds or other foliage may have grown around the unit, clearing this away from the area along with any grass clipping or leaves is a good idea. This debris can attract bugs or ants or other critters looking to hunker down in the cooler weather. If you are still using your AC during the warmer days, the debris could be a fire hazard. Clearing the area will keep you safe.

👉 Adjust the thermostat. With the kids back at school the house may now be empty all day, and evenings tend to get a bit cooler. It usually isn’t necessary to keep the same settings you had in July. Set the temperatures to comfortable settings that make sense with the outside temps at different times of the day. You don’t need to cool a house when no one is in it all day.

👉 Get a professional furnace evaluation. If your system is older, you remodeled, added on, or you bought a new home, it may be a good idea to have a professional HVAC tech come and evaluate whether you need an updated system. If a new system is necessary it will likely save you quite a bit in utility costs and will ensure that you have proper heating and ventilation for your home.

👉 Schedule a Fall furnace tune- Now is the time to get your furnace ready for the long winter ahead – and winter tends to be pretty darn long. A professional tune-up will make sure the unit is clean and running properly. A technician will calibrate the thermostat, inspect the system and clean it, test the airflow, measure the motor voltages and tighten any electrical connections. A tune-up will ensure the furnace runs properly and safely. A yearly tune-up will also keep your warranty valid if you have a newer system.

✅ TIPS ON CHOOSING THE RIGHT SYSTEM FOR YOUR NEEDS ✅

1. Size
👉 You need to know the size of the space you are looking to cool and purchase an air conditioning unit that can handle the job. If the system is too small for the space, it will never sufficiently cool the space. This will result in the system overworking and lead to damage of the compressor and other parts. Purchasing an over-sized unit will only cost you more money than necessary in the cost of the unit itself. Both scenarios will cost you more money in the long run by increased energy costs and consumption. So, it is important to purchase an appropriately sized air conditioning system that is suitable for your space requirements. Do some research and get help from knowledgeable professionals.

2. Energy Efficiency
👉 Another primary concern should be the energy efficiency of your air conditioning system. You will want to check out the energy efficiency rating, known as the SEER or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. This rating will give you an idea of how efficient the unit is in terms of energy expenditure. The higher the rating the more efficient and better the equipment, which will save you a lot of money on electric bills.

3. Features
👉 Get to know what features are available in air conditioning systems. Find out what they do, and what their purpose is. That way, you can make a good decision on the best features for your needs. Manufacturers offer devices with many advanced features such as; easy filter removal, sleep timer, energy efficiency, human activity sensing, anti-bacterial filters, and many more.

4. Service and Warranty Period
👉 Warranties and service policies are important to consider. Look for reputable brands with long warranties including a replacement guarantee. You will also want to have the option of extending the warranty period. This will save on maintenance costs if any problems arise.

5. Budget
👉 Be budget conscious. Looking at air conditioning systems that are out of your price range will not benefit you or your home or office. Buy the best product that fits within your budget. If the unit you truly want is above your financial range, do a little more saving before you purchase. Then, you can get the unit that best fits your requirements.
