How to Get the Most From Mesa Amana Premium Heat Pump Installation Decision

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

Not Just Another Mesa Amana Premium Heat Pump Installation Company

Heat pump installation can be a tricky business. Similar performance and quality between AC manufacturers and their associated products make accurate price comparisons difficult. Buyers often spend hours trying to distinguish the fine-point distinctions between HVAC equipment performance, yet end up forgetting the importance of basing their Mesa Amana Premium Heat Pump installation decision on the quality of the installer.

The product facts are simple. When comparing quality to quality, performance to performance and efficiency to efficiency, Amana’s ASZC Series Premium Heat Pumps are a match for any existing brand. The ASZC product line comes with a mixture of options, enhanced features and performance ratings fit to match the needs of any Mesa home or business. All Amana HP equipment is backed by an industry-leading extensive warranty system, crafted for product endurance and designed to excel at meeting high-end Arizona heating and cooling requirements.

Still, a buyer should not solely focus on equipment features. To gain reliable heat pump service, buyers must also dissect the background, professional behavior, skills and training of the available Mesa Amana Premium Heat Pump installation contractors. The ASZC Series consist of some of the best heating and cooling equipment offered by Phoenix AZ Air Conditioning installation companies, yet if the Mesa Amana AC contractor fails to complete the installation with quality, attention to detail and concern for product effectiveness, the homeowner or the business owner pays a tremendous and unnecessary additional daily operating expense.

Choosing the Right Mesa Amana Premium Heat Pump Installation Company

Let’s say that the Amana Premium HP fits the bill for your home. Here’s what you need from the Arizona AC installation contractor:

  • A list of recent installs, including contact numbers
  • A list of older installs that can provide evidence of on-going customer support
  • 24/7 service response even on holidays
  • Evidence of a lengthy business history; you do want someone that will still be around in 10 to 15 years
  • A clear and written explanation of how warranty service is handled for both parts and labor
  • A detailed and written warranty for parts and service
  • A written and verbal report on which Amana system will be installed and why
  • A detailed explanation of the purposed duct system, including sizing, vent locations, return air plan and type of materials used.

In short, you need to understand what the Mesa Amana Premium Heat Pump Installation crew is doing and why. If you already have an existing duct system, make sure your AZ HP installer analyzes the need for any corrections, upgrades or replacements. If this sounds like lots of attention to detail, you are getting the picture.

Heat Pump Enhancements Included in the Amana ASZC Premium HP Line

Perhaps you have decided on a heat pump but you haven’t yet settled on the Amana Premium heat pump for your Mesa home or business. Considering Arizona climates, the HP will likely provide your primary source for heating and cooling. The Amana ASZC line is designed for enhanced reliability and performance. Perhaps the following factors will help settle your mind to go with a Mesa Amana Premium Heat Pump installation. Here are nine heat pump enhancements that Amana offers to ensure customer satisfaction:

1) Upgraded Compressor – All Amana high-efficiency heat pumps utilize scroll compressors. This means 70% fewer moving parts than a reciprocating compressor.

2) Filter Drier – Included as a factory-installed feature for extended heat pump durability, the Amana filter drier reduces system contaminants in the HP refrigerant system.

3) Crankcase Heater Components – Positioned as a wrap-around addition to the base compressor, the factory-installed Amana crankcase heater component provides several major system enhancements: 1) It reduces the migration of liquid refrigerant in the compressor shell during system shutdown under colder ambient conditions, 2) It reduces noise by eliminating excess liquid refrigerant build up in the shell and 3) It helps regulate system oil flow.

4) Accumulator – By regulating flood-back of liquid refrigerant, the Amana accumulator stores and ensures that only refrigerant vapor is permitted to enter the compressor. The storage and control functions of the accumulator help ensure longer compressor life.

5) Amana Discharge Muffler – Designed to reduce transient complications that can induce system vibration, the Amana discharge muffler effectively reduces system operational noise.

6) Low-Pressure Control Unit – Ensures that your Mesa Amana Premium Heat Pump system provides effective compressor damage control.  The factory-installed Amana low-pressure switch prevents system protection in the event of loss of refrigerant pressure.

7) Updated to R-410A Refrigerant – Designed for environmental friendly use, R-410A is a chlorine-free refrigerant. This product also enhances the reliability and durability of your Amana compressor.

8) Compressor Management – Constructed from high-density materials, the factory-installed Amana sound blanket system ensures that your installed Mesa Amana heat pump functions at a reasonable sound dB.

SmartShift™ Defrost Transition Control – Designed to reduce noise during HP defrost cycles, the Amana SmartShift™ Defrost Transition Control system ensures that your heat pump compressor remains safe during forced defrost cycles.

Getting the Most Out Of Your Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in Air Conditioning, Carrier, Carrier Air Conditioning Arizona, Heat Pumps.

Phoenix Carrier Heat PumpCorrectly Managing Your Installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump System

 With monsoon-related humidity breaking 80-percent and Phoenix regional temperatures remaining above the 100-plus degree mark, the demand for efficient AZ air conditioning continues to rise. In 1902, Willis H. Carrier invented the first solution to industrial needs for managed internal air control – the air conditioner. Modern home, office and industrial AC equipment now includes basic Carrier central air conditioners, the Performance/Comfort Series Heat Pump, and Carrier’s finest available heating and cooling system, the Infinity Series Carrier Heat Pump with Greenspeed™ Intelligence.

The cost-efficiency, energy-effectiveness and reliability of Carrier Air Conditioning equipment is established by years of quality performance and innovative advancements in AC technology. But what can consumers do to ensure that their Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump performs to the max of it’s design?

 

Avoid the Myths of AC and Heat Pump Management

To get the most out of your installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump system, you need to learn the difference between AC myths and AC truths. Effective cooling and heating depends upon right-matching, right-sizing and right-installation of the Carrier HP best suited to your Gilbert, Peoria, Scottsdale or other Phoenix area home or business. However, for the most efficient AC performance, there are also some things that homeowners and business owners should avoid. You need to know the truths concerning the following Air Conditioning myths and misconceptions:

  1. Myth: Setting an AC fan system on continuous action is more economical than an automated system.
  2. Truth: This concept is only valid when your Carrier Heat Pump is using an electronic air filter.
  1. Myth: Shutting the air registers in unused rooms saves operation expenses.
  2. Truth: Correctly installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump systems are selected as an exact match to the structural-specific and air-flow requirements of your home or business. Isolating rooms and closing off vents can actually create a pressure imbalance, which ends up decreasing system efficiency while actually forcing your AC motors to work harder.
  1. Myth: Closing interior doors improves heating and cooling efficiency.
  2. Truth: Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump installations are crafted for a closed-loop environment. When installed as a right-sized, right-matched and properly planned cooling system, your heat pump is crafted to provide precise air pressure throughout the home or office. Closing interior doors that lead into rooms that were fitted into the original design of your Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump installation can produce room-specific pressure leaks around ceiling fixtures, exterior doors, wall plates and windows. Thus the system ends up wasting resources by heating or cooling unnecessary regions within the home or even discharging treated air into the outside spaces.
  1. Myth: Selecting a thermostat setting that limits system run time saves money.
  2. Truth: In order to efficiency perform moisture removal, an installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump needs a continuous run of eight to ten minutes. Due to excessive starting and stopping, short running spans create unnecessary motor wear. Furthermore, humidity levels remain high due to the systems inability to fully remove internal moisture. One way to help eliminate short runs: Install a Carrier two-stage AC system.
  1. Myth: Maintaining a constraint and certain thermostat setting provides cost-efficient heating and cooling.
  2. Truth: Scheduled thermostat changes can provide very effective reduction in heating and cooling costs. Your installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump should include a matching programmable thermostat control unit. For example: The Carrier Infinity® Series Heat Pump With Greenspeed™ Intelligence includes a unique-variable-speed technological feature that enables automated management of longer running, lower speed air flow. The effective result: Higher comfort, better efficiency and increased savings in heating and cooling costs.

Manufactured Weather – How Carrier Heat Pumps Function

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in AC Installation, Carrier, Heat Pumps.

Carrier Heat Pumps – A Revamping of Manufactured Weather

Carrier Heat Pump Condensing Unit

Just a little over 114 years ago, escaping from the torment of 100-plus degree Arizona temperatures was limited to finding shade, taking cold showers or standing near to an electric fan. William Carrier had not yet coined the term “manufactured weather,” and the concept of air conditioning was a dream not yet formulated as an attainable project. A/C units were nonexistent. The concept of a Carrier Heat Pump was even further from thought..

But in 1902, Willis Carrier created a product that changed the world’s concept of heating and cooling and the principles of environmental control. The Carrier “manufactured weather” machines resolved the challenges of how to regulate indoor environments via the power of modern air conditioning. The age of healthier interior air flow, improved personal comfort and a new method for overcoming summer heat waves  – even those scorching air-twisters that shimmer above Phoenix AZ – had finally arrived.    

Modern Carrier air conditioning systems and Carrier heat pumps enable industries worldwide with the tools that promote better employee productivity, health and workplace comforts. In the global-wide residential home front, Carrier heating and cooling products help homeowners find reprieve, comfort and relaxation regardless of the bruising associated with exterior climate changes.

But what is it that makes a Carrier Heat Pump superior to standard central air conditioning?

Manufactured Weather – Carrier Heat Pumps Address Both Sides of the Coin

Throughout Canada, Mexico and the United States, over 20,000 air conditioning service dealers carry and install Carrier HP equipment and other Carrier HVAC products. The Carrier Company Website lists 31 dealers in the general Phoenix area, including regions that take in Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Glendale and Peoria. Carrier HVAC products are designed to handle even the most extreme demands for “manufactured weather.”

So how do Carrier HP systems work?

The functions of a heat pump are no mystery. The heat pump merely regulates the process of how heat moves. For example: Place a cup of hot coffee on an outside table and leave it untouched for several hours. The heat escapes into the atmosphere and the coffee grows cold – even when the external atmosphere is already very hot. Therein lie the fundamentals of what it means to “move” heat.

A Carrier Heat Pump flips the process. Rather than permitting heat to escape into the external atmosphere, a HP draws heat energy from the outside and “moves” it into an enclosed area – the rooms in your home or office.

But what happens when the outside temperature rises above the desired internal temperature? Your Carrier HP equipment merely reverses the direction of “movement.” As a result, the heat within your home or office gets relocated to the outside atmosphere. The temperature within your home drops and you experience cool and comfort – regardless of the current 110-degree Phoenix heat wave.

The point to remember: Heat Pumps do not generate heat; they merely relocate heat. Thus the cost of operating a heat pump is much less expensive than the price of electrical energy, gas or any other type of fossil fuel. An installed Heat Pump system provides a cost-effective energy-efficient solution to your Phoenix area need for “manufactured weather.”

How Do Split System Air Conditioning or Heat Pump Units Function?

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in Heat Pumps.

The Components of a Split System

Split System air conditioning units use a compressor, condenser and evaporator to pump refrigerant fluid through a heat exchange process. However, unlike the layout of a conventional cooling unit, the components of a Split System are not self-contained in a single condensing unit.

Residential central air conditioning or heat pump systems typically feature a Split System design. The condenser and compressor usually makeup the outdoors component of the system. When installed correctly, the external unit is mounted in a shady area free of brush and unnecessary obstructions to air flow. Likewise, the evaporator, blower and ductwork function as components of inside sections of the unit.

The fined coils of the evaporator is typically mounted in the ductwork and downstream of the blower unit. The units are connected via two flexible refrigerant lines. In an energy-efficient design, each of the components is custom-selected to meet the exact physical requirements of each individual home. Refrigerant piping is also custom-fashioned make the best use of the equipment.

Fundamentals of Split System Operations

In any Split System heat pump or air conditioning layout, two fundamental processes are involved:

1) Some form of refrigerant fluid provides the principle cooling power

2) The primary components of the cooling unit, evaporator and condenser, are located in separate physical locations.

Two points mark the distinction between a Split System heat pump and a Split System air conditioner:

  1. Heat pumps are capable of reversing the condenser and evaporator functions
  2. Being dedicated to cooling only, central air conditioning systems typically provide a better cooling energy-efficiency ratio than heat pumps.

Evaporator: Typically considered the starting junction of the cooling cycle, the evaporator receives high-pressure refrigerant liquid through a thermostatic expansion valve. Due to pressure differences and heat drawn from the surrounding medium of air or water, the liquid within the evaporator boils. Thus the evaporator captures the heat from within the building and transfers it to the refrigerant gas as it leaves the evaporator.

Compressor: In simple words, air conditioning systems transfer indoor heat to the outdoors. Heat pumps can reverse this function. The compressor within the system draws refrigerant gas from the evaporator, performs a compression process on the gas and then releases the compressed gas directly into the condenser.
