State-of-the-Art Arizona A/C Service Center Addresses the Issue of Cost Effective Air Conditioning Upgrades and Replacements

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in AC Installation.

In Response to the Current Arizona Heat Wave, Phoenix Arizona A/C Expert, American Cooling and Heating, Answers Your Questions About Air Conditioner Replacement Planning

Arizona and Other U.S. States Experience Record-Breaking Temperatures

According to the National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS), June of 2012 marked the 14th hottest June on record for the documented contiguous United States. For many areas, the first six months of 2012 broke major continual U.S. heat records. With a plus 4.4 degree Fahrenheit increase, Arizona joins the ranks of states most affected by the heat wave.

The following guide to system analysis from American Cooling and Heating may help you better clarify your home cooling situation. Is it time to upgrade or do you need to completely replace your old air conditioning equipment? Here is help with the decision.

High Temperatures, Principle Investments and the Importance of an Energy Efficient Air Conditioner

Air conditioners, though often viewed as luxury items, take on new priorities during record breaking heat waves. When the temperatures in Mesa AZ, Scottsdale AZ and other Phoenix areas peek the 100+ degree mark, a malfunctioning or broken A/C unit can actually leave homeowners in a life-threatening situation. If you need immediate air conditioning services, please remember that American Cooling and Heating technicians are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

High temperatures bring about an adjusted mind-set. When the heat rises and the A/C sputters, even the most reluctant spender begins to consider an air conditioning upgrade or replacement.

Yet before leaping into a new purchase, homeowners must analyze their home cooling needs. A new air conditioning system amounts to a principle investment in household comfort, reliable performance and the future value of your home. However, when it comes to HVAC equipment, super-sizing is not the best approach.

American Cooling and Heating provides the following tips as an expansion on several select Energy Star recommendations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency:

Older Units – Some things grow better with age. Not so for your home air conditioner or heat pump. If your system is over 10 years old, purchasing a new cooling unit will save as much as 20 percent on your energy bill, provide better cooling comfort and enhance the value of your home. Before investing in any major repairs, consider the value of installing a complete new HVAC system.

Excessive Repair Bills – It’s like trying to keep an old, road-weary vehicle in operation. The cost of repairs can quickly exceed the price of monthly payments. If your home cooling equipment is troubled by frequent breakdowns, unsatisfactory performance or a host of other year-round “Surprise” problems, it may be time to upgrade key components or even replace the entire system.

Temperature Balance – Improperly balanced home cooling can be due to poor equipment installation, incorrectly sized ducts, inadequate home insulation or worn out system components. If you are constantly experiencing drastic hot-to-cold or cold-to-hot changes from room to room, you should have your HVAC unit checked for clogged air filters, leaky air ducts, undersized external units and worn out components. Circumstances will reveal the value of upgrade over repair or new over upgrade.

Standard Thermostat Controls – Home air conditioning is often wasted on an empty house, an imbalanced temperature control system or trigger-happy kids with ready access to the thermostat. Upgrading to a programmable thermostat can provide an energy efficient way to save money and better regulate your home cooling systems to meet your family living patterns.

Problems With Humidity – Inadequately sized air conditioning equipment, leaky ductwork or a worn out HVAC system can cause a summer buildup of excess humidity. It’s a comfort problem that can also create internal mold issues and health complications. If the system is undersized, replace it. If it is worn out, replace it. If it merely has leaks, air blockage or other basic problems, repair it.

Excessive System Noise – Aside from obvious physical damage that may need attention, an excessively noisy air conditioning unit can imply an undersized duct system or even a problem with your indoor coil component. Find the true cause and then make a reasonable decision based upon sound facts.

Industry-leading A/C Service Expert in Arizona, American Cooling and Heating, Provides Tips for Surviving in a Global Warming Environment

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in Air Conditioning.

Environmental Study Declares Arizona the Fastest-Warming State; American Cooling and Heating Provides Tips On How To Live Comfortably and Safely in a Warming World – Especially When AZ is Getting the Worst of It

Recent studies are supporting what many local homeowners have been talking about lately. Record temperatures are breaking out all over the Earth. If even the ice caps at the top of the world are melting, imagine what could happen in Arizona, many residents reason. Current news items have many local homeowners and climate experts worried. NASA recently released results of their analysis of US global surface temperatures, showing that since the year 2000, we’ve had nine of the 10 warmest years ever recorded. A new study from ClimateCentral.org more specifically declares that Arizona is leading the pack of US states, racing toward global warming and more extreme weather at the highest speed of all.

The experts at American Cooling and Heating feel that no matter their individual stance on the political side of global warming, Phoenix and Scottsdale residents are rightly concerned about the future. Debates about whether humans are to blame for global warming aside, the earth is getting warmer and climate changes are always happening. We can’t count on the trend reversing itself any time soon.

It’s clear that we must adapt. For local residents who have been wondering about things like: Will we in the southwestern US keep getting hotter and drier year by year without relief? How can we adapt to more extreme weather? How can we help counteract the effects on our health? How can we preserve the environment? Will our budget survive as costs continually rise for natural gas, electricity and water.

Preparing for extreme weather

American Cooling and Heating provides local homeowners with a plan to deal with weather challenges while keeping their home environment comfortable and safe. These greater Phoenix area HVAC experts offer the following tips to help residents cope:

** Maintain existing A/C systems with annual professional service while planning for possible cooling system upgrades or replacement. As the professionals at American Cooling and Heating explain: “Annual or semi-annual preventive maintenance– and the equipment inspection that goes along with it, is crucial to help catch any impending safety or health issues like electrical problems, gas leaks or fire dangers. Proper maintenance service also extends the life of home comfort equipment and preserves its performance, keeping monthly operating costs (energy bills) as low as possible.” Moving into a new house, have the home comfort system inspected with a maintenance visit from an HVAC/R contractor before using your system or when planning to begin using it again after long disuse during winter months, for example.

** Consider upgrading the central air conditioner’s air handler or evaporator coil to enhance energy-efficiency and comfort. After assessing the condition of your system, the professionals at American Cooling and Heating can recommend compatible components from their supply of quality, industry-leading brands to upgrade your system.

** Evaluate the pros and cons of purchasing a new, highly efficient, central air conditioning system. The latest energy- and money-saving air conditioning technology is light-years ahead of systems on the market just a few year ago, generally resulting in long-term cost savings to homeowners. The professionals at American Cooling And Heating can provide individualized help to determine the return on new-system investment for local residents, taking into account their home’s construction, size and other specific factors. They can also factor in the cost of any needed cooling system repairs against using the funds toward a new system.

** Think about a heat pump for year-round home comfort and dependability. Although they’re called heat pumps, these refrigeration units provide some of the most efficient home cooling out there, since they operate by transferring heat rather than generating it. Although they provide great energy savings, there’s no compromise in home comfort with heat pump units. In cold weather, heat pumps can reverse their heat transfer process, providing economical heating that easily handles mild winters like ours.

** Prepare for new, more environmentally-friendly refrigerant. The local air conditioning experts explain that A/C replacement has taken on a new urgency with the imminent phase-out of R22 freon refrigerant, on which most existing cooling systems currently depend. Switching to a new air conditioning system will avoid the possibility of inconvenient R22 shortages and price hikes as it becomes scarce.

** Don’t miss out on the latest state and local power company incentives and government tax credits for the most energy-efficient products. These programs make new systems affordable and help recoup the costs of a new system quickly.

** Call for quick assistance from the local HVAC experts at American Cooling and Heating whenever necessary. In an emergency, their 24-hour Repair and Installation Service Teams are on standby to get to greater Phoenix area homes and businesses quickly when the need arises. The company’s highly skilled quick response teams help ensure the uninterrupted operation of essential cooling, refrigeration, ventilation (and heating) systems in the event of extreme weather or sudden breakdown.

Air Conditioning Do’s and Don’ts – Bad A/C Installation Procedures Can Lose You Big Money

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in AC Installation.

A/C Service Expert American Cooling and Heating Provides Updated Tips on the Value of Proper Air Conditioning Installation Procedures

Proper air conditioning installation procedures can add years of life to new A/C Equipment and A/C Systems as well as to help save energy and money. A poorly installed or selected A/C system can cause many problems for the end user.

Environmental Protection Studies – A Wealth of Modern HVAC Installation Improvements

In a constant effort to protect the global environment, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sometimes sets the focus on home and business air conditioning methods. Greater energy efficiency marks the primary purpose behind EPA studies, yet the accumulated information often provides extended guidelines for quality installation of HVAC equipment.

This American Cooling and Heating report focuses on the quality installation of central air-conditioners and heat pumps as a source for superior home energy efficiency.

Preliminary A/C Installation Concerns

Before jumping into the aspects of proper A/C installation, pause to consider the energy-consumption complications that can accompany inefficient air conditioning planning. Along with the possibility of complete system failure, incorrect equipment sizing or improper system installation can reduce an air-conditioner’s performance by thirty percent or more. For example: 

  • Improper refrigerant charging often results in reduced system efficiency
  • Improper refrigerant charging can also result in frequent system freeze-ups
  • Improper unit sizing includes over-sizing, which results in insufficient system run-time, which in turn hinders the dehumidification process.
  • A current EPA study suggests that installation issues hinder the efficiency of more than half of all installed home air-conditioners. The problem must be solved. Technicians and homeowners need to be aware of proper air conditioning installation procedures.

Heating and Cooling Benefits to Homeowners – The Advantage of Proper System Selection and Air Conditioning Installation Procedures

Reliable energy-efficiency air conditioning selection and installation services assure better system performance. The average homeowner can expect to save around twenty percent on home cooling costs. Accurate product sizing and HVAC installation also delivers a more even air flow throughout the whole home. The dehumidification systems works better, the air stays cooler and the overall comfort to the entire family increases.

HVAC Installation – Damage Complications Due to Improper A/C Installation

Proper air conditioning installation results in proper air conditioning functionality which in turn helps prevent system damage. A central air conditioning compressor should be located in a shaded outside area. It helps keep the unit cool and reduces the workload. Obstructed or reduced air flow over the coils also creates inefficiency and excessive system labor. All of these create increased energy costs, but the greatest effect of poor system installation will show up as a long-term repair expense.

HVAC Installation – Safety Factors Affected by Improper A/C Installation

Many air conditioning sales and service companies tend to oversize the mechanical systems in residential construction. The practice increases the unit price and the unit installation cost. It wastes customer energy resources. It reduces moisture control and comfort.

For some homeowners, poor moisture control can become a serious health problem. Excess moisture tends to breed bacteria and mold.

Electrical wiring also requires proper installation. Poor connections can result in erratic system performance or even a deadly electrical fire.

HVAC Installation – Local and National Air-Condition Installation Codes

Adopted and enforced to keep people safe, building codes ensure quality construction of parts and installation services. Expect your Air Conditioning service center to be up-to-date on current local and national installation codes concerning all of the following applications:

  • Electrical supply circuits
  • Correct ductwork layout and installation
  • Structural considerations as they relate to the air conditioning installation code
  • Any other specific A/C installation parameters necessitated by local or national building codes.
  • Your American Cooling and Heating technician is more than willing to help you better understand the application of local and national A/C installation codes.

HVAC Installation – Knowing the Manufacturers Guidelines and Specifications

A successful and proper air conditioning installation involves many factors. Some come from state requirements. Others come as a result of government research. Some pertain to safety and some to energy efficiency.

Knowing the product is the only way that any company can bring it all together. American Cooling and Heating sells, installs and services every major brand of heating and cooling equipment. Our technicians are fully licensed and trained in every aspect of manufacturer guidelines and unit specifications.
