How Do Air Conditioners Create Cool Air?

Air Conditioner RepairIf you have ever looked at your air conditioner and wondered how it functions than continue reading below. All up to date air conditioning units work in broadly the same way, whether they are small domestic or large industrial units.

The compressor, evaporator and condenser together make up the air conditioner. A chemical compound called Freon is used in air conditioners, the same which is used in refrigerators. This Freon enters the compressor as a cold gas where the molecules get compressed together. This subsequently leads to increased temperature and pressure.

Next, the gas enters the condenser and this will then cool down the gas and transforms it to a high-pressure fluid. A tube or expansion valve then carries the fluid into the evaporator. The amount of liquid entering the evaporator is regulated by a pressure lowering valve causing the fluid to evaporate into a gas. The gas passes through coils absorbing the higher temperatures from within the house. The air conditioner will be shut off after a process the thermostat must undergo goes on over and over again.

Most residences feature central air conditioning these days. The fundamentals of the process are based on this. Unlike small window systems, here, only the evaporator is placed inside your home while the condenser and compressor stay outside. By attaching the cooling system to the home’s ventilation system, the whole home will receive the benefit of air conditioning instead of only one area.

Nevertheless, when you have a central air conditioning system, you might have observed that the temperatures inside a few rooms vary from the others. Many a times, the difficulty was observed in the air conditioner only. You will need to get an HVAC, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning, expert servicing the system at least one time per year to ensure that the unit is functioning properly. You also have to ensure that you change the filter systems in the air conditioner once a month. When the filters are clean this will prevent overworking and also keep clean air inside the house.

You may even want to know the effects of constantly running your air conditioner. Proper maintenance of the unit will create more efficiency and less usage. However, there are alternative paths to refrain from overusing your system and at the same time save the environment.

A Clean Air Conditioner Cools Better and Saves Energy

Summer is in full swing and we have now been through our fist heat wave in the greater Twin Cities metro area. Unfortunately, this likely won’t be our last heat wave nor the hottest. A properly working and “well tuned” air conditioner is very important in Minnesota.

So, How Did Your Central Air Conditioning System Keep Up?

When both the humidity and the temps are high, that’s when your central air system gets put to the test. All it takes is for an air conditioner to be low on freon, dirty, froze-up, or malfunctioning in some other way and you quickly start to feel uncomfortable in your house.

 

As a professional heating and cooling contractor and also an air duct cleaning company, servicing the entire Minneapolis St. Paul area, we often are the first call homeowners make. When the temperatures start to climb and they discover that their air conditioner isn’t working the way it used to our phone starts to ring like crazy. Fortunately, we are prepared and jump into action as quickly as we can.

Are You Sure the Air Conditioner Needs Repair?

Maybe the air conditioner doesn’t need to be repaired after all. Oftentimes, the only problem is the outdoor condensor or the inside evaperator (a.k.a. a-coil) is just dirty and no repair is necessary. If that’s the case, we will clean everything up and be on our way in an hour or less. Cleaning the central air conditioning system and a good old fashioned duct cleaning will typically cost less than $100 unless your system is really dirty. In that case you might want us to use our rotary brush cleaning method and that takes a little longer.

Either way, cleaning your air conditioner and your duct work will cost you a lot less money than jsut letting it go and suffering through it. A dirty air conditioner works MUCH harder than a clean air conditioner. When the central air conditioner is working hard to keep up with the demand you have set on the thermostat you are wasting a lot of energy.
