How Does Central Air Conditioning Work

Central AC is vital for most homeowners here in Arden Hills, though you might be unclear as to how it works. That big outdoor portion of your system contains a compressor and an outdoor coil, where refrigerant converts into a liquid (from a gas) so that heat can dissipate to the outdoors. First, it absorbs the heat from the air inside of your home as a blower fan moves air over an inside evaporator coil, where it turns to gas. This process repeats over and over as the blower moves air over the cool coil, until your home reaches an ideal temperature.

Could You Need AC Repair?

Noticing that your air conditioner is not working the way you’d like it to? It could be a lack of refrigerant, problems with airflow, or an electrical issue. On the other hand, it may be that your ducts are leaking or in need of repair. Let our technicians get to the bottom of the situation. We will look around your HVAC system to determine if it’s just your air conditioning unit that needs repair, or if your ducts are contributing to the problem.

Don’t Wait to Get Heating Repairs

Is your heating system living up to your home’s heating needs? If not, it could be a sign of an internal system issue that requires immediate attention. A drop in temperatures or a noise from the furnace may seem like issues that can wait for repairs. However, you should realize that the other internal components are working overtime to make up for the lack, and your system could fail from the extra work at any time.

Can a Furnace Become Unsafe Over Time?

It’s a possibility, but annual maintenance services can help to protect your unit. A technician looks over every part of the furnace, including the heat exchanger (which could leak carbon monoxide if damaged) and tunes some of the components to potentially make it safer and more efficient. However, you should still replace your furnace after about 15–20 years if you want to ensure your safety.

Is Geothermal Heating and Cooling Really a Good Choice?

For some, the cost of installing a geothermal heating and cooling system combined with the work that goes into the installation mean that this installation is not really an option. However, the system is quite durable (especially the parts that are underground). This means you won’t have to replace it for decades, so the one–time process of digging up your yard may likely be worth it. Besides, this is one of the most efficient heating and cooling systems you can own, which means you’ll notice the drop in your bills.
