Scottsdale Arizona Air Conditioning Company Announces June AC Upgrade Package

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Service, Arizona Air Conditioning Upgrade Sale.

Goodman Air Conditioning On Sale NowNow thru July 1, 2014, American Cooling and Heating invites Scottsdale residents to enjoy the benefits of a 13-SEER to 14-SEER A/C upgrade on select new heat pumps and air conditioning condensing units installed by ACH.

“Arizona heat keeps rising, and when older Scottsdale air conditioning systems fail to handle the toll, American Cooling and Heating is here with a free 13-SEER to 14-SEER upgrade* package on select A/C and HP systems.”

Most of the older installed A/C and HP systems still use R-22 refrigerants. And the more age a unit accumulates, the greater becomes the cost of keeping it running. Summer is here. Residents of Scottsdale and other Arizona localities readily vouch the point. Repair prices are also increasing. And now, hundreds of worn-out home and business HVAC systems are crashing beneath the toll of ever-increasing heat.

This may well be the best possible time to install an energy-efficient cooling system. From the opening estimate, ACH offers phenomenally low pricing on heat pump installation and air conditioning installation. But now through July 1, management has declared that every Scottsdale residential customer is eligible to reap an automatic 13-SEER to 14-SEER upgrade on select heating and cooling units.

“If your existing installed air conditioning system demands repetitive seasonal repairs, this American Cooling and Heating A/C sale is for you,” Scot Morgan, ACH.

Arizona weather is merciless. Every Scottsdale, AZ air conditioning system battles the seasonal rise in temperatures, storms and dust. Maintaining a comfortable home or business environment is costly. But with modern HVAC technology, extremely sensitive thermostat controls, and a cooling system that is right-sized for the home, comfort can come with an energy-saving payback that makes sweat music out of the ACH 13-SEER to 14-SEER upgrade program.  

Too many Scottsdale homeowners are giving up sleep, play and even work due to inefficient home cooling. American Cooling and Heating provides a reliable and cost-effective solution.

 

Make It A Heat Pump Solution

Due to the dual purpose use, heat pumps cost a bit more than standard central air conditioning systems. However, the year-round savings of a system that provides heat as well as cooling, typically make buying a heat pump the best option for most Scottsdale homes.

Consider the advantages of heat pump technology:

** Heat Pumps eliminate most if not all of the expense of heating with fossil fuelsThermostats and controllers at ACH

Climate of Fear and Global Warming – From the Viewpoint of Thomas Gale Moore

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Service, Persons of Interest.

Climate of Fear Author Thomas MooreThomas Gale Moore, Author of “Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn’t Worry About Global Warming”

In a nation already gutted by fear tactics, a climate of fear seems the natural by-product of politics and global warming. With daily claims that the climate is changing and that immediate preventative action is the only way to divert the world from a course of certain disaster, the popular media leads the bandwagon of national panic. The “prophets” of global warming, including Bert Bolin, Robert Watson and Benjamin Santer proclaim the dangers of human-triggered emission of greenhouse gases. And the prestigious news leaders such as Scientific American and the Public Broadcasting System fuel the flames by exciting the fear that provides a world of politicians with new ways for amassing voters and supporters.

But not everyone follows the same drumbeat. In the written works of Thomas Gale Moore, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, the picture of global warming and world disaster takes on a different color. From Mr. Moore’s point of view: Policies designed to “slash the emission of greenhouse gases,” may result in a worldwide recession accompanied by unnecessary increases in unemployment, civil turbulence and international strain on and between the nations.

As the author of “Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn’t Worry About Global Warming,” Mr. Moore boldly addresses the flip side of changing climate and the assumed associated complications (1).

 

Who Is Thomas Gale Moore and Why Is “Climate of Fear” A Worthwhile Read?

As a specialist in many fields, including studies pertaining to environmental conditions, Thomas Gale Moore has written and published books on privatization, stock market margins, wage management and global warming. Along with “Climate of Fear,” Mr. Moore is also the author of “Health and Amenity Effects of Global Warming.” He has actually published over thirty articles dealing with climate change and the dangers “so-called” of global warming.

His career began in the mid 1950s when he attended MIT followed by a four-year stint in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. In 1957, Mr. Moore completed the requirements for a B.A. degree at George Washing University. He went on to attend the University of Chicago between 1950 and 1961 where he earned his M.A. and a Ph. D. in economics.

Between 1985 and 1989, Thomas Gale Moore served on the Council on Economic Advisers as established by then President Ronald Reagan (2). As acting supervisor to a workforce of economists designated to notify Mr. Regan on issues pertaining to:

· Agriculture
· Environmental Conditions
· Tax Issues
· U.S. Health Situations
· AND More,

Thomas Moore established himself as a major player in U.S. and world affairs. Earlier national service positions include the role of Senior Staff Economist during a 1968 to 1970 stint in regulatory and industrialized business issues. Moore has also served as Assistant Professor at the Carnegie Institute of Technology and later as Professor of Economics at Michigan State University. His published works have appeared in academic journals, legal and political publications and various outlets of the popular press.

In “Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn’t Worry About Global Warming” Mr. Moore addresses the risks associated with following the advice of those who advocate immediate andglobal warming all-inclusive U.S. focus on managing and controlling perceived human-triggered changes in climate. According to Mr. Moore, the current and proposed U.S. policies designed to reduce emissions impose a serious threat on the resources for energy that drive our economy, our work options and even our automobiles. Furthermore, the cost for heating and cooling our homes will increase. Home comfort levels will suffer. Travel will decrease. And huge amounts of financial output will be wasted on unproven efforts to curve the use of fossil fuels.

In the words of Mr. Moore, “Cost/benefit analysis constitutes the only rational approach,” to managing the effects “so-called” of global warming. We do not need to press forward with a climate of fear, but rather with a voice of reason.

Trane Heat Pump Comparison – A Review Of Residential Trane Heat Pumps

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Service, Heat Pumps.

Trane Heat Pump ComparisonHow Best To Compile a Residential Trane Heat Pump Comparison and Review

This Trane heat pump comparison from American Cooling and Heating is designed to provide Arizona residents with a solid, fact-based review and comparison from three distinct groups of Trane H/P equipment. To make the information worthwhile to prospective buyers, we are not going to poke around with another list of exact system specs. You can find that nearly anywhere on the Internet, including the highly informative Trane HVAC products page on this very website.

This comparison focuses on a close-up of how various Trane heat pump units compare to the competition, to one another, and to the industry as a unique heating and cooling solution for Arizona homeowners. Seven distinct units from three distinct Trane HP model ranges are included in the review:

  1. The top end Trane XL16i and Trane XL20i
  2. The mid-range Trane XB13, Trane XL15i and Trane XR15
  3. The low end Trane XB13 and the Trane XR13.

Kicking Off the Trane HP Review and Comparison

Before dipping into the unique components of each system, take a moment look at some of the primary features that make Trane an Arizona top-choice in heat pump technology. First, all Trane split system air conditioning and heat pump equipment applies outdoor coil protection via fully louvered panels baked in with a tough powder paint finish. These same units are assembled with weather-resistant screws designed for long-term performance. But most important of all is the patented Trane all-aluminum Spine Fin™ outdoor coil technology. This unique-to-Trane cooling technology assures that all Trane heat pump and air conditioning condensing systems make the most out of heat-transfer and energy-efficient functionality.

So let’s look now at the unique aspects of these Trane HVAC products.

Trane Heat Pump Comparison: What Are the Unique Features of the Trane XL20i and the Trane XL16i

When reviewing Trane residential H/P equipment, the XL16i and the XL20i exceed the bill for top end heating and cooling equipment. What makes them stand out above the competition?

  • Fan Speed – A multi-stage fan in the XL20i reduces energy consumption during mild weather conditions. This saves you money.
  • Superior Warranties – Crafted for extended durability, both units pack a 12-year limited warranty on the compressor and a 10-year limited warranty on the outdoor coil and on all internal functional parts*. Buyers of these systems can also purchase an Optional Extended Warranty on parts, labor, or parts and labor.
  • Advanced Technology – Both the XL16i and the XL20i take advantage of Trane ChargeAssist technology, which helps ensure quality performance on just the right amount of refrigerant
  • AND, of course, the patented Trane all-aluminum Spine Fin™ outdoor coil technology.

 

 Trane H/P Comparison: Unique Features of the Trane XB13, Trane XL15i and Trane XR15

 So what features can set a mid-range heat pump apart from the pack? Things like a 12-year compressor warranty always standout as unique in the residential H/P marketplace. Efficient noise control also makes a difference. And in some Arizona homes, even the profile of heat pump unit can become very important. Here’s how the XB13, XR15 and XL15i stand out: 

  • Superiority Warranty Protection – Although only the Trane XL15i is backed by Trane’s 12-year compressor warranty, both the XB13 and the XR15 kick off with a Trane 10-year limited warranty on the compressor, outdoor coil, and all internal functional parts*. Any of the systems can be upgraded to the Trane Optional Extended Warranty program and/or an optional transferability of your Registered Limited Home System Warranty.
  • Short Profile – Although the XL15i does not fit short profile heat pump specs, the XB13 and the XR15 come in with a height of only 29”. That’s a ready-made solution for Arizona homes dealing with tight HVAC installation quarters.
  • Noise Management – Both the Trane XR15 heat pump and the Trane XL15i heat pump ship with an installed sound blanket that effectively reduces the noise level of the compressor
  • AND, or course, the patented Trane all-aluminum Spine Fin™ outdoor coil technology.

 Trane Heat Pump Comparison: Looking For The Best In Low End A/C Technology With the Trane XB13 and the Trane XR13

Although only certain Trane air conditioning systems take advantage of two-stage compressor efficiency, every Trane HP or Trane A/C makes use of Climatuff® compressor Trane XR15 heat pump specstechnology. For power and effective performance, the XR13 and the XB13 offer a slightly above average SEER rating of up to 14.50 with an HSPF of up to 8.50. Cap it off with economical operation and durable construction, and either of these two heat pumps automatically standout as reliable and cost-effective. But let’s pinpoint at least three unique functions that make the low end Trane cooling solution a wise choice for some AZ residents:

  • Profile – Sometimes height matters. Both the Trane XB13 H/P and the Trane XR13 H/P family sport short profiles ranging from a mere 29” up to 41”. That’s a standard beater in the industry that works well for many AZ homeowners.
  • Extended Warranty – Although these two Trane low-end models already come with the Trane advanced 10-year limited warranty on compressor, outdoor coil, and internal functional parts, they also include the option for buyers to reap the benefits of buying a Trane Extended Warranty on labor and other costs. It’s a valuable asset available to every buyer of a new Trane heat pump system (1).
  • AND, of course, the XB13 and the XR13 take advantage of the patented Trane all-aluminum Spine Fin™ outdoor coil technology.

The core of this Trane Heat Pump Comparison ignores the basics of SEER and HSPF figures. Typically the name of the unit reflects the SEER rating of the unit. Residential Trane H/P systems are available in sizes ranging from 1.5 to 5 tons. Your ACH estimator will advise you as to the best system suited to your Arizona home.

Trane Heat Pump Not Cooling – Tips For Arizona Heat Pump Solutions

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Service, Cooling Tips.

Trane heat pump not coolingThe Complexity of Dealing With Heat Pump Not Cooling Issues

Problems with a Trane Heat Pump not cooling efficiently do not typically occur in the early life cycle of the equipment. The products are crafted for long-term performance and durability. Pre-mature “major” failures are not the rule; they are the exception to the rule.

If you have a new Trane HP system your need for advanced Arizona HP solutions is typically limited to routine maintenance programs. However, any HVAC product can suffer from performance failure. Likewise, Trane heat pumps are not immune to the problems associated with poor maintenance or accumulated age. Planned routine checkups provide the best defense against poor cooling heat pump performance,

If you are facing a Trane heat pump not cooling situation, check first that your air filter is clean and function, and that your thermostat is correctly set. Then if the problem persists, check to see your Trane Air Conditioning System is still under warranty. There is no need trying to fix it yourself if your fully covered Arizona heat pump solutions are just a phone call away. Trane products carry exceptional warranty protection, and all American Cooling and Heating installed HVAC equipment carries a lifetime workmanship warranty.

For example: The Trane XL20i when registered within 60 days of purchase is covered by a 12-year limited warranty on the compressor, a 10-year limited warranty on the outdoor coil and a 10-year limited warranty on internal functional parts. If ACH did the install, the workmanship is backed by lifetime coverage.

But here’s the really cool thing: According to a survey conducted by the National Association of Home Builders, the average lifespan of a quality heat pump exceeds 16 years. With Trane consistently running with the top manufacturers in the pack, expect a new system to provide years of reliable heating and cooling.

 

Defining a Trane Heat Pump Not Cooling Problem

Prior to calling for professional Arizona heat pump solutions, residents battling with a Trane Heat Pump not cooling issue often seek self-resolution of the problem. Even if you can’t perform your own Arizona HP solutions, comfort resides at the core of knowledge. Awareness of your options and possible repair costs help ease the search for a reliable HVAC service center.

We know that common problems such as a dirty air filter are rather easy to correct. But some of the Arizona heat pump solutions are far from simple to discover. For example: Without training and equipment, most homeowners are ill prepared for tracking down a failed electrical component in the A/C condensing system. Yet even this is easier to fix than a poor cooling situation that involves a leak in the refrigerant system.

But don’t despair. This text will help you define the reasons behind your Trane heat pump not cooling problem.

 

Arizona HP Solutions: General Overview of Heat Pump Cooling Problems

 

First Things First – Clean or Replace the Air Filter

Perhaps this Arizona HP solution is too common to even bring up. Yet sometimes the obvious can slip your mind. If you system is not cooling, perform a manual check of the airflow. Just place your hand in front of a nearby A/C delivery vent. If you have airflow but the pressure seems reduced, check the filter and clean or replace as necessary. You might also check in the crawlspace to ensure that a cat or a opossum has not torn a hole in your Air Conditioning ducting system.

 

Trane Heat Pump Not Cooling Due To Refrigerant Leaks

Here is a basic question: Does your heat pump have problems with heating as well as cooling? Mechanically speaking, a heat pump is nothing more than an air conditioning systemTrane 2014 HVAC Deals with a reverse cycle valve. If the heat is effectively functional but the cooling is not, you can eliminate concerns of a leak in the system refrigerant fluids. Note: When testing the HP heat delivery performance, be sure to that your thermostat is not set on the auxiliary heat system.

If your examination reveals that your Trane Heat Pump not cooling problem is due to low refrigerant fluid, you have a somewhat heavy-duty heat pump problem – even if the overall system is in relatively decent condition. Heat pumps and air conditioning condensing units use a sealed refrigerant system. It is not normal for the unit to loose refrigerant.

If you add refrigerant without knowing how the original coolant vanished, the problem won’t go away. As the old saying goes: Insanity is when you keep doing the same thing over and over with the same results each time. Adding coolant to a leaky heat pump system is both futile and illegal. To correct the HP not cooling issue, the leak must be located, sealed and thoroughly tested for long-term reliability.

 

And Assortment of Not Cooling Causes and Solutions

 

Some air conditioning cool air problems cannot be identified or resolved by the homeowner. But here is a rapid-fire rundown of causes and possible solutions.

  • Indoor Blower Failure – Got no pressure from the system diffusers; check the thermostat to ensure that the indoor blower is not turned off.
  • Compressor or Outdoor Unit Fan – If the thermostat is set correctly yet the outdoor unit fan or the compressor fails to engage, check the house fuses and circuit breakers. Also be sure that you check the breakers that are typically mounted near the heat pump.
  • All Systems Functional – When the blowers are churning and the thermostat is set correctly and the refrigerant is full, check around the system for obstacles that may be impeding the airflow. Even tall grass can be a problem.

 

Prevention is Always the Best Cure

If your Trane Heat Pump not cooling problem doesn’t pertain to a dirty filter, an error in the thermostat settings, or obstacles around the condensing system, you most likely need an HVAC technician to correct the issue. American Cooling and Heating can get you up and running on a 24/7 timetable. We also honor valid Trane equipment warranties.

Our tech will arrive on time and provide you with a written diagnosis for the Arizona HP solution. We may even be able to help you identify the status of your Trane Heat Pump warranty. Of a certain, we will provide you with up-front-pricing and dependable service.

But why wait for a system not cooling problem?

Consistent heat pump maintenance reduces the risk of heat pump failure while also helping to extend the lifespan of the system. Keep your Trane HP running efficiently and effectively. Spending a little scheduled money on Trane heat pump maintenance may save you from the crisis of an unexpected and costly HP repair call.

IF you already missed the opportunity to schedule routine HVAC maintenance, now is a good time to take advantage of the American Cooling and Heating
