Air Conditioning FAQ’s Answered

Almost everyone has an air conditioning unit in their home, but how many people actually know how it works? While you should always leave expert care to the professionals, there are some things all homeowners should know. If you know enough about air conditioning services, you will be able to stay on top of repairs and maintenance for your unit.

Additionally, being able to speak with a professional while being informed can help them find the issue quickly, keeping your property safe. In this article, AC experts have compiled helpful FAQ answers all homeowners should know about their central air conditioning system.

The Essential Parts of Your Air Conditioner

ac partsWithin the air conditioner, there are lots of little parts that make up the whole. All of the parts need to work together for the air conditioner to run. As time goes on AC parts may need to be serviced or replaced.

While it is not recommended that you do air conditioning repairs at home, knowing a few basic parts of the air conditioning unit will benefit you. The main parts of an air conditioner are the condenser, evaporator coils, expansion valve, and compressor.

Air conditioner techs are experts in all the parts of the air conditioner, but a few main ones for the homeowner to know are words like “the coil” which indicate a part of the cooling system that will become frosty if coolant leaks and the compressor, which is essentially the motor for the entire system.

Because there are so many components that work together to cool your home, even one minor malfunction can stop your system from functioning altogether.

All the Parts Together = Working AC

All of the parts of the air conditioning unit work together to produce the cooling effect. One part of the air conditioner that is very important is the thermostat. The thermostat controls the air conditioner by determining what the temperature is so it can make adjustments accordingly. If the thermostat isn’t working correctly neither will the rest of the unit.

Inside the air conditioning unit, there is a chamber of liquid refrigerant. The air from outside or from another room is blown through the air conditioner and it goes over the top of the coolant. As the air passes through the air conditioner it is made colder by the coolant and it projects back into the room.

There are some differences between different models of air conditioners, but they mostly work the same way in that the coolant returns back to a liquid after the gas released is compressed back, and the process repeats itself. The air handler is also an important component, which is responsible for “handling” or disturbing air throughout your home.

When Is It Time for Professional Help?

Because you don’t know as much as an expert tradesman, chances are even a minor fix can cause more extensive damage. Your air conditioner is essential for your daily comfort. Because of this, any change in performance should be a cause for concern.

Fluctuating temperatures, high energy costs, or frozen coils can all be an indication that repairs are needed. For the best results and to extend the lifespan of your air conditioning unit to its maximum, leave maintenance and repairs up to the experts.
