- How frequently should my air conditioner be serviced?
Your system should be serviced at least once and inspected up to four times annually, depending on your system. We advise making an appointment for a consultation with a reputable HVAC service provider.
- Why does it seem like my system requires more refrigerant every year?
An air conditioning unit that requires routine refrigerant recharge is leaking and requires repair. In addition to reducing cooling efficiency and increasing energy consumption, refrigerant leaks are extremely harmful to the environment. One of the main contributors to the ozone layer’s depletion is the release of refrigerant gasses into the atmosphere.
- Why won’t my air conditioning unit start up?
Make sure to test a few things before you call for repairs. Is the control set to the correct position? Is the thermostat set to a low enough temperature for the air conditioning to start working? Is there electricity on your block or in the house? Before you call, address all of these possibilities.
- Why does my HVAC system run but not cool?
There are several potential causes for this. Check the thermostat first to make sure the settings are correct. Look for obstructions in the outdoor condenser, such as weeds, grass, or debris, and remove them. Either the compressor is broken, or the air conditioner needs a refrigerant charge. Both circumstances call for expert intervention.
- Why doesn’t my air conditioner cool the house enough?
To start, try turning the thermostat down a few degrees and see if the house becomes cooler. Change the air filter as well if it’s dirty. Check the indoor evaporator coil if the house is still not cool. If it’s dirty, an HVAC technician can wash it with a water and coil cleaner solution before using compressed air to dry it. It’s also possible that your air conditioner isn’t the right size for your house.
- What is the price of the air conditioning installation?
The price of installing air conditioning varies depending on the type of air conditioning unit you purchased, the size of your house, and the installation’s complexity.
- What factors should I consider when choosing an air conditioning unit for your home?
When leaping, there are three things to think about carefully upon choosing an air conditioning unit. You should evaluate the cooling system’s performance, energy efficiency, and noise levels and then be able to narrow down the many types of air conditioning units that can meet your cooling needs to the one or two that will work best for you.
- What is the best setting for a thermostat during the summer?
If you want to save money on your monthly electric bills, we advise keeping your thermostat at 72 degrees and switching the fan to auto. However, you are free to select which setting suits your best for you anytime.
- How does central air conditioning function?
Central air conditioning moves your home’s air around until the temperature you want is reached. The hot air in your home is removed by central air systems, which then work to cool it by releasing the heat to the outside. The air is then distributed throughout your home through a network of ducts. In this manner, the ideal temperature is reached in each room.
- Why is my air conditioner so loud? Can I fix it on my own?
Before anything else, don’t try to fix your noisy air conditioner yourself! You run a serious risk of hurting yourself and your air conditioner if you don’t have expert knowledge of HVAC electrical system layouts and the right meters to test every working part of your AC.
