You can expect your air conditioning system to run more often when the outdoor temperature rises. But there’s a difference between an AC running often because it’s needed and running almost all the time. Air conditioning systems are designed to work in cooling cycles that continue until the thermostat has registered that the AC has hit the target temperature on the thermostat, after which the unit will cycle down for a stretch. Most cooling cycles will last 10 to 15 minutes, with a similar period in between cycles.
If your AC is running much longer than 15 minutes and seems to be on most of the time (often leading to a house that’s too cool even for a hot day), then you likely have a malfunctioning system. The AC may be in danger of a full breakdown, and you’ll also face extremely high energy bills from all the extra time the air conditioner is blasting away.
Sometimes there is a simple explanation. In other situations, you’ll need to schedule air conditioner repair in Nashville with professionals.
The late summer often has some of the most brutal temperatures of the year. You don’t want to have your AC fail on you or struggle to provide the level of cooling you need when the outdoor temperature is mounting and the humidity feels overwhelming.
Unfortunately, ACs can often fail during the intense heat, especially older units or ones that haven’t received regular maintenance. The best way to cure an ill air conditioner is to contact our technicians for air conditioner repair in Maysville. But you may not have an AC as sick as you believe. Before you reach out to us, you can go through several troubleshooting steps to see if there’s a simple cure for your AC’s problems.
Ductless systems have made major inroads into homes over the past few years. These variations on heat pumps allow for a home to enjoy cooling and heating in different rooms without requiring either space-consuming ductwork or inefficient and unattractive window ACs.
A ductless system (also called a ductless mini split heat pump) works by having an outdoor unit connected to several small wall-mounted air handlers distributed around the house. Each air handler has its own refrigerant coil and blower fan to send heated or cooled air directly into the living space. Ductless systems have high energy efficiency, lead to better indoor air quality, and allow for zoned heating and cooling since only the air handlers in occupied rooms need to run.
Another major benefit is that ductless systems are flexible. You can put them to work in your home (even if you already have ducts) in a variety of ways. Here are several.
It’s still hot, it’s still summer. But we’re in the late season, and it’s not a bad time to begin thinking about the future of your AC. For example, has your air conditioning system worked to your expectations over this season? Do you think it will be possible to go another summer? If you have doubts about your current air conditioning system, you’ll want to consider having a new air conditioning installation in Glenwood, GA when the temperatures cool down.
An air conditioning system uses several motors to operate. This is where most of the electrical power goes, and the reason you see an increase in your electric bills during the summer. The most powerful motor drives the compressor, the heart of the AC. There are several other motors in operation, such as the blower fan motor responsible for the circulation of air through a house and moving warm air across the evaporator coil to cool it down.
Motors have a finite service life. They will eventually wear down and need to be replaced. With proper care, you can help keep the motors in your AC running until it’s time to have the entire air conditioner replaced (usually in the 10 to 15-year range). But motors may run down earlier.
Something is wrong: your trusty air conditioning system, which usually has no trouble managing cool temperatures in your home during the summer, is falling down on the job. The house is warmer than it should be, or there are hot spots in the rooms, or the AC keeps shutting down too early.
There are several possible sources for these troubles, and it’s important to call on professionals to find out what it is when basic troubleshooting doesn’t solve them. But the problem may not be in the AC. Often, these cooling issues stem from the thermostat, as we’ll explain below.
The ducts in your house are a key part of the HVAC system: you don’t get any circulation of air or heated or cooled air sent to the rooms without it. Unfortunately, the ducts can sustain damage from corrosion, wear, aging, poor installation, vermin and insects, and construction that can create air leaks.
But are a few holes in the ductwork a big deal? Yes! It’s a reason we offer duct services in Warner Robins, GA to test and seal ducts. Below we’ll go into why leaky air ducts are a problem that requires a swift professional solution.
Your air conditioning system can experience “breathing problems.” Much of the AC’s successful operation at keeping your home cool is based on its ability to circulate air—drawing air from the house through return air ducts, cooling it, and then blowing it into supply air ducts to the room. If your AC struggles to do this, it will result in a lower volume of cooled air and less air sent to the rooms. Obviously, This Is Not Good when it comes to your comfort.
So you’ve got a “wheezing” AC on your hands. What’s causing it, and what can you do about it? Below, we’ll examine these questions about poor airflow from an AC and help you identify when you need AC repair in Nashville, TN.
Ductless HVAC systems aren’t new technology, but they only recently started to become popular in the US after they conquered the Japanese and European markets. Ductless AC and heating is extremely useful for those locations, where residences are either too small or too old to have ductwork in them for central heating and cooling.
Using a ductless heat pump for both cooling and heating a home may be the best choice for your home’s HVAC plan, or it may be useful as an addition to a standard HVAC system.
Your air conditioning system uses chemical refrigerant to cool the air: it absorbs heat from the air indoors and then transports it outdoors. At no point in the process does the AC use water to cool the air. (There’s a specific type of cooling system that uses water, an evaporative cooler, but they’re uncommon in this area.)
So why would water start to leak out of your air conditioner? If you see water pooling around your AC, it’s definitely a problem you’ll need to address, probably with professional AC repair in Forsyth, GA. Below we’ll explain why there’s water in your AC and why it may begin to leak, creating potential problems.
