Too much of anything is just as bad as too little, as in the case of overcharged cooling systems. The need to process excessive refrigerant can damage air conditioning units over time. Ideal parameters are necessary to avoid problems and prolong equipment lifespan. This article explores overcharged AC symptoms and its associated dangers.
When it comes to working on an important home appliance like the AC unit, don’t take wild guesses. You don’t want to do the wrong thing, impacting your family’s safety and wellbeing. If you want steady efficiency and comfort, there are a few important things you should keep on your “do” and “do not” list.
Oil-heated homes mostly use hydronic heating systems, so they aren’t equipped with HVAC ductwork. This means that, in summer, oil-heat homes rely on window air conditioners to cool their homes instead of central air systems. This may have been a sound option before, but the advent of ductless cooling systems has changed the situation.
Heating oil might not be on your mind during summer. However, this season is the perfect time to think about it. For example, the boiler is idle, so take the opportunity to address different components of the heating system. This article discusses some heating oil tips you can perform during the summer season.
Air conditioners absorb indoor heat and expel it outdoors. After several cycles of heat transfer, homes gradually cool down and feel comfortable. Two components, the condenser coils and evaporator coils, do much of the work behind the scenes. Although similar in appearance, they function in opposite ways. This article discusses these differences.
Air conditioners make spaces feel more comfortable by lowering the temperature of the home and reducing indoor humidity levels. If the cooling system is not removing humidity, then something is wrong. In this article, we discuss some of the reasons an air conditioner may not be properly removing humidity from your home.
With central heating and air conditioning systems, warm or cold air is produced in one location and distributed throughout the house via ductwork. Ducts are often made of metal, making them susceptible to noise at the slightest disturbance. This article discusses common ductwork noises and what you can do to reduce them.
Like all machinery, a heat pump can exhibit problems from time to time. For example, did you know that it’s possible for a heat pump to freeze during the summer? This article discusses causes and solutions as well as tips on how to prevent your heat pump from freezing up in the first place.
Sometimes when an air conditioner operates problematically, the unit will draw power without producing a significant change in temperature. When it happens, we are left scratching our heads, trying our best to find a solution. This article answers a common air conditioner phenomenon – Why is my AC compressor working but not cooling?
Air conditioners should blow cold air, only stopping when the temperature reaches the thermostat setting. If your system begins with cold air but degrades to warm air, then something isn’t right. In this article, we discuss the common reasons why this cooling system issue happens. Likewise, we discuss some practical solutions to help you.
