There is nothing quite as annoying as the air conditioning going out on a hot day in Florida. In some cases, a home without air conditioning can be dangerous to an elderly person or a person with health problems. Maintaining your air conditioning system is the key to keeping a cool home throughout the year.
The HVAC Professionals at Lee Heating and Cooling can help you maintain your air conditioning system in Pensacola, Fl. We can tell you about any potential issues, perform an air conditioning repair and let you know when it is time for a new unit. It is always best to schedule your air conditioning maintenance in the spring because you may have to wait a long time to get an appointment in the summer.
An air conditioner does not work by blowing cold air into a room; instead, it removes heat from the air in a room.
Warm indoor air cools as it blows over a cold cooling coil full of refrigerant. Heat is absorbed into the refrigerant as the refrigerant becomes a liquid gas. Once the air has cooled, it is blown back into the home.
The refrigerant gas outside the home gets compressed and enters a coil in the outdoor unit. The heat that is extracted from the indoor air is released outside as the refrigerant returns to a liquid form. A fan directs outdoor air into the outdoor coil and rejects the heat that was taken from the house. This cycle repeatedly continues until the room reaches the desired temperature.
For air to circulate properly, all of the parts of the air conditioner must be clean. If the filter is dirty, air will not be able to flow in and out of the room properly. If air can’t flow properly, it may freeze the evaporator coil. When the evaporator coil freezes, it can cause the condenser to burn out. If this happens, your air conditioner will shut down. You may need extensive air conditioning repair or even an AC replacement.
It is very important to get professional AC maintenance once a year. If you live in Pensacola, FL, and you use your AC all year long, you may even want AC maintenance twice a year.
There are some simple things you can do to perform regular maintenance on your air conditioner. You can regularly change your filter and make sure the frame is not loose, and you can also look for ice on the outdoor refrigerant line.
