How Do Heat Pumps Get Heat From Outdoors in the Winter?

Monday, October 14th, 2024

The miracle of the heat pump is that it works as both a heating and cooling system. It’s not really a “miracle,” but based on the simple principle that if you take an air conditioner and find a way to reverse the way it moves heat, it can provide either heating or cooling. An air conditioner uses refrigerant to draw heat from inside the house and releases it outside, cooling down the interior of the house. A heat pump goes a step further: it can change the direction the refrigerant flows so that it draws heat from outside the house and releases it inside, warming up the house.

Why Is My AC Running All the Time?

Monday, August 19th, 2024

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.

A Wheezing AC? Why Its Airflow Is Low

Monday, August 5th, 2024
Heating/Cooling Vent

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.

Monday, July 22nd, 2024

Do air conditioning systems help with the humidity in a home? This is a common question that people ask HVAC technicians, and it’s especially a concern in Nashville because it can get quite humid during the summer. High humidity doesn’t raise the temperature on a hot day, but it does make it harder for people’s bodies to cool off, and this can mean the indoor temperature can feel 8° to 10° hotter than it is. Not fun!

So, does the AC provide any help in controlling this, aside from lowering the actual indoor temperature? We’ll talk about this below as well as look into a possible solution, installing a dehumidifier in Nashville, TN.
