If each car dealer had to assemble your car the way each air conditioning contractor has to assemble your cooling system you would be a lot more careful when choosing a car dealer. It would be very important that the car dealer you chose knew how to assemble the car properly.

The same is true when buying an air conditioner. It must be sized accurately and installed correctly to work properly, This may include making changes to the existing ductwork to ensure adequate air flow.

In the 40 years I’ve been in the heating and air conditioning business it has been my experience that 75% of the problems with new central air conditioners were caused because they were not sized accurately and were not tested correctly after they were installed.

In the any air conditioner less than five tons was classified as an appliance and people working on them did not require a licence or mandatory training. People learned from the boss who little or no technical training available to him. Five years ago residential air conditioning became a two year apprenticeship trade but it will take time for things to change.

It is important that the contractor have the air conditioner checked by a licensed mechanic during and after the installation to ensure the work is done correctly. Don’t try to save money on the installation because you will pay for it later.

The easiest way to maintain your furnace is to clean it by using a cleaning wipe, and checking to make sure that there is no loud noises or strange noises coming from it.

Visually inspect the flu pipe and make certain there is no corrosion, holes and that the gas can move through the pipe.

Turn furnace off, open access panel, replace filter and vacuum to clean excess dirt and grime.

If you have a combustion furnace like gas or oil, its good to have a professional analyse the combustion every few years to make sure your furnace is burning at its highest efficiency.

Central air conditioners are usually built into most conventional homes during initial construction. These are made up of an evaporator coil (situated in the furnace), a condenser unit (on a small slab or cinder blocks outside the home), and the ductwork (the air distribution system).

Unless you are a qualified central air conditioning technician, leave this difficult and time consuming task to the experts, although there are still some things you can do to maintain it.

• Change the filter once yearly. A clean filter will allow your central air conditioner to run more efficiently. Some manufacturers recommend it be changed once every couple of months depending on its usuage.
• Give it a rest. If you are away from home, turn it off or allow it to turn on less frequently with a timer, it will save you unmentioned amounts of dollars and extend the life of the central air conditioner
• Keep the vents clear and make certain there is nothing obstructing the flow of air. Remove dust and keep the area clean
• If it isn’t cooling as it should and you have the thermostat set properly and all windows and doors are shut, turn it off, and call a qualified central air conditioning technician.

If you are in need of a qualified technician, go online and look for licensed professionals in your local area, that are qualified to do the job.

New or Existing A/C Systems
Knowing your plans for A/C installation will help your service provider give you a more accurate estimate. For example, if you are installing a new condenser or heat pump into an existing system, odds are you will want to use the same brand as the older system. Completely replacing your system will call for tearing it out and having it disposed of, which could mean additional cost to you.

Central Air Conditioning Installation for Remodels
Letting your air conditioning installer know what the situation is like beforehand will give them a better idea of what they’ll be dealing with. Providing this information will help them to better size up the kind of central air conditioning installation that is best for your home, and allow them to give you a better estimate. If installing A/C is a part of a larger remodeling project, you may be able to save money depending on when the system is put in place.

How Much Power Will You Need?
A central air conditioner’s cooling capacity is rated in Btu’s (British thermal units) per hour. As a rough rule you need 12,000 Btu’s for 1,000 square feet of well-insulated space or 400 square feet of poorly insulated space. A house’s structure, window area, sun exposure, and the climate will also affect your cooling needs. If you have high ceilings, your cooling needs will be different; it takes more cooling power to maintain a comfortable temperature in the house. Talking to a professional about the structure of your home and the most effective way to cool it is a good idea in these situations. Following the suggestions of a person in the know, even if it seems more expensive initially, could end up saving you plenty in the long run.

Central Air Conditioning Installation to Replace an Aging System
Air conditioners have become increasingly energy efficient in the last decade. If your system’s cooling ability has decreased significantly since it was first installed, you may want to consider having it completely replaced. If your service professional is tying into an existing system, the older system’s age will help determine its compatibility with the newer system.

Understanding Accessibility
Central air conditioning installation requires access to the home’s heating and cooling duct system. The more open access there is to the ductwork, the less labor that will be involved and the less expensive the project will be. When installing central A/C for the first time, especially in an older home, the amount of space available for ductwork might be extremely limited. In these situations, mini-duct or ductless air conditioning might be a better option than the effort and alteration it would take to install conventional ductwork

The Typical Central Air Conditioner
Central air conditioners are usually built into most conventional homes during initial construction. These are made up of an evaporator coil (situated in the furnace), a condenser unit (on a small slab or cinder blocks outside the home), and the ductwork (the air distribution system).

But some dwellings don’t need all this horsepower. There’s no sense in investing in a large system for the homeowner or condo dweller who only experiences a short, mild summer. There are some good alternatives for this situation.

Most central air conditioners are connected to a home’s forced-air distribution system. Thus, the same motor, blower, and ductwork used for heating are used to distribute cool air from the air conditioning system. When a central air conditioner is operating, hot air inside the house flows to the furnace through the return-air duct. The hot air is moved by the blower across the cooled evaporator coil in the plenum and is then delivered through ducts to cool the house. When the air conditioner works but the house doesn’t cool, the problem is probably in the distribution system.

Both the evaporator and the condenser are sealed. Therefore, a professional service person should be called for almost any maintenance other than routine cleaning. Central air conditioners should be professionally inspected and adjusted before the beginning of every cooling season. However, don’t let your maintenance end with this annual checkup. While there aren’t many repairs you can make yourself, there are specific maintenance procedures you can follow to keep your system operating at peak efficiency.

Caution: Before doing any work on an air conditioning system, make sure the power to the system, both to the condenser and to the evaporator assembly, is turned off.

With central air conditioning, the central unit is often located outdoors or in an isolated area of a building because a great deal of noise is generated during the refrigeration cycles which cool the air and help to extract humidity. The central unit connects to ductwork which runs throughout the building, with blowers pushing cold air out of the ducts to cool down rooms. The air conditioner also vents to the outdoors to get rid of excess heat and moisture.
