Choose Your A/C Wisely – Save Money And Stay Comfortable All Year Long

Phoenix Area Air Conditioning Expert American Cooling And Heating Presents Information on How to Choose the A/C Brand That Fits Your Home

Local Air Conditioning Service Center,American Cooling and Heating, Announces New Arizona-Focused Resources Designed to Help Homeowners Better Understand HVAC Brands, Application and Installation Procedures. The right A/C system choice can save you money in the long run.

Understanding Basic Air Conditioning Terminology

The typical central air conditioning system functions as a whole-house or single-floor cooling system. The costs of a central home air conditioning system can range from $2,500 and up, exceeding well over $10,000 for total purchase and installation.

The base terminology shared between all brands of air conditioning systems includes the following definitions:

British Thermal Unit (Btu) – This measure system is calculated based upon the quantity of heat necessary to raise one pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. In layman terms, a Btu represents the supposed amount of heat an air conditioning unit can extract from a given area of concern. The higher the Btu rating, the greater the cost, size and weight of the associated air conditioning system.

Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) – Calculated by the relationship between Btu and consumed energy watts, the EER of a system identifies an air conditioner’s level of efficiency. High EER ratings equate to better performance at a great cost for the system.

For a full glossary of heating and air conditioning terminology, see the American Cooling and Heating Fact Page.

Air Conditioning Classifications

Central A/C systems fall under one of four type classifications. The choice of group-type will depend upon one’s current financial strength, the configuration and layout of the existing A/C system and the short-term versus long-term purposes for buying a new Air Conditioning system.

The four central A/C classifications are as follows:

1) Minimum-Efficiency – By yesteryear’s air conditioning standards, a modern minimum-efficiency air conditioning system would be labeled as highly efficient. Yet by modern standards, these units are budget models, costly to operate but cheap on the upfront costs. Starting cost: $2,500 and up.

2) Mid-Range Efficiency – A/C units ranging from14.5 to 17 SEER often enable customers to take advantage of government rebates to get some increased efficiency benefits at a lower initial startup cost. These units are also typically easier to install than high-efficiency units. Starting cost: $3,000 plus.

3) High-Efficiency 16 to 23 SEER Central Units – Provide the lowest energy bills, but the highest initial startup price. They typically include two-stage units that enable less on/off cycling, but they may also require modification to any existing duct systems. Starting cost: $3,500 plus.

4) Mini-split ductless Systems – Included in this list only for the sake of completion, mini-split ductless A/C units are not recommended under normal circumstances. They are expensive to purchase, cheap to install and good for homes without existing ductwork. Starting costs: $1,000.

Decide on the Air Conditioning System Brand That Best Suits The Home’s Unique Layout and Environment

Decisions concerning brand name A/C components and brand name A/C installation procedures must combine cost effectiveness, home compatibility and customer expectations. American Cooling and Heating deals in the sales, repairs and installation of full-home HVAC, Air Purification and/or Air Humidity Control systems.

Is My Air Clean? Important Information About Indoor Air Quality and What’s In Your Air

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

Arizona air conditioning service expert American Cooling and Heating covers the details of indoor air quality and what you can do to improve it.

“A Healthy Home Is A Happy Home, Well Conditioned Air Is Key”

What’s In My Air?

There may be more pollution indoors than most people know about, air inside a home can be on average up to five times more polluted than the air outside, some studies indicate pollution amounts from 25 to 100 percent more than outside air. Considering that the majority of people spend a large percentage of their time indoors, breathing an estimated 2,300 gallons of air every day, indoor air can be a key factor in the quality of life. Indoor air pollution can trigger allergies, asthma and also cause serious problems like respiratory illness and aggravation of autoimmune diseases.

Almost 70 trillion particles enter the average home every day, and remain in the air. Most homes generate around 40 pounds of dust every year for every 1500 square feet of space and that dust remains trapped inside. One ounce of dust can contain up to 40,000 dust mites, one of the most common household allergens.

Improve The Air Quality

Indoor air quality is of paramount importance for the health and wellness of self and family. Perform research on current A/C Technologies and High Efficiency Air Quality products; there are many products available from brand name Air Conditioning manufacturers such as Carrier, Trane, Amana, Goodman, Rheem, and others.

A three step process that can improve the quality of indoor air:

Pollution Control

Control and elimination of some indoor pollutants like dust and pet dander can be accomplished by thorough household cleaning. Air Conditioning Service and Maintenance will help to remove pollutants. Duct cleaning will also eliminate sources as well.

Ventilation Techniques

Ventilation and fresh air intake decrease the concentration of indoor pollutants. Install a high efficiency fresh air intake system, open windows and doors, or use whole house fans. Fresh air is the best medicine to purge out built up contaminants.

Air Purification

High quality pleated filters are a good affordable choice for a solid front line of defense. High efficiency air purification systems can be expensive but are well worth it and can significantly lower the amount of pollutants in the air. The efficiency of the device varies depending on the type of filtration / purification method used and on the strength of the indoor pollution source.

Best combination for total indoor air quality:

1. Clean HVAC system including ductwork.

2. Clean and well maintained indoor environment.

3. High Efficiency Fresh Air Intake System.

4. High Efficiency Air Purification System.

As people spend a considerable amount of time indoors, either at work or at home, indoor air quality plays a significant part in their general state of health, it seems obvious that health is related to where people live. People spend 50% or more of every day inside their homes. Consequently, it makes sense that the housing environment constitutes one of the major influences on health and well-being. This is particularly so for children, elderly people and other vulnerable groups.

Air Conditioning Service Tips For The Homeowner! A/C Comfort 101

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

Arizona Air Conditioning Service Contractor American Cooling And Heating Gives Homeowners Useful Tips To Help Curb Expensive A/C Repairs.

“We’ll help keep you in the cool”

The Heat Is On And It’s A/C Time!

Summer has arrived and A/C units are working overtime. As a homeowner the responsibility of having your comfort A/C system serviced and maintained is an important factor in assuring the longevity of that system and in keeping your home cool when the summer temps sizzle.

A/C Basics

Comfort air conditioning systems are designed to help keep people comfortable and to also provide healthy air quality. A complete air conditioning system is capable of adding and removing heat and moisture and of filtering and removing airborne substances, such as dust, allergens, and indoor pollutants from the space to be conditioned. When designing an air conditioning system, dehumidification and air flow are important factors to be considered in addition to temperature control.

A/C Maintenance

Properly maintaining air conditioning equipment is the best way to preserve your existing A/C system and to hedge your bet against expensive future repairs. A well maintained air conditioner will fail less frequently and will use less power and save you money. Be sure to have you’re A/C system serviced no less than once a year, and in high dust areas a more frequent A/C servicing may be required. Change your filter every month and make sure it fits tightly in the filter frame. If filters don’t fit tightly then apply foam tape that can be found at local hardware store to the inside of the frame to assure a snug fit and to prevent dust and dirt from bypassing the filter.

A/C Repair

A/C Repairs can be expensive, and they can be repetitive. Air Conditioning units are machines and machines have a definite life expectancy. Wear and tear from operation under adverse conditions such as high ambient temperatures, dirty power supply, and transient voltage spikes from lightning storms and power company equipment failures can dramatically shorten the life of you’re A/C unit, by causing damage to components and pushing the cost toward economic obsolescence.

A/C Replacement

If new A/C equipment is needed, then choosing the right equipment for the application is part of the process as well as duct design and installation parameters. High efficiency equipment is always a good choice; however budget limitations and payback to investment are factors to consider, your budget should also include post installation service and warranty. Be sure to check out the company you choose to install your comfort system, the Arizona Registrar Of Contractors and the Better Business Bureau are two excellent resources for that purpose here in Arizona. Make sure your contractor performs a proper job-site survey prior to start of the work, checking all parameters required for proper installation. Upon completion of the comfort air conditioning system installation, all equipment should be tested and all readings confirmed to be within operational parameters. A commissioning checklist should be filled out with recorded readings, procedures practiced, and system condition to give you the actual system performance and for verification of proper procedures.

When Temperatures Become Critical, A Summer Survival Guide For Homeowners

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in AC Repair, Air Conditioning, Carrier.

HVAC Contractor American Cooling And Heating Provides Insight To Homeowners On The Ins And Outs Of Choosing New Air Conditioners And Heat Pumps

“We’ll Keep You In The Cool And Comfortable”

Summer comes to bring warmth into are lives….. a lot of warmth sometimes, and maybe too much for some people. Air conditioning was designed to bring comfort to people. Over time the process was refined and in 1902 Willis Carrier designed a refrigeration system that all modern air conditioning is modeled after. Technology has come a long way since then, so much so that the choice of brands, types, efficiencies, and even the company you chose to perform the installation is varied and difficult to navigate. The following are some useful tips and information that might make the process a little easier.

Air Conditioning Basics 101

Some of the major air conditioning and heat pump brands are Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Trane, Lennox, Ruud, Amana, and York. Most mainstream brands of HVAC (Heating Ventilating & Air Conditioning) equipment are built with quality techniques to meet proper energy efficiency standards and to provide reliability. Efficiency of equipment is rated in SEER (Seasonal energy efficiency ratio) for modern equipment this rating starts at 13 SEER and for every unit higher it decreases the energy draw and increases the equipment’s energy efficiency.

When one thinks of cooling, they may not think of heat pumps. In fact, air conditioning is likely the first thought, a heat pump can both heat and cool, and in some applications, it’s the preferred choice of cooling system.

Oh By The Way What’s a Heat Pump?

A Heat Pump is a Refrigeration System that can be used for Cooling and Heating. Refrigeration systems work by transferring heat from one area to another. The Heat Pump is a refrigeration system that has been in use for many years. Refrigerators and Air Conditioners are both common examples of simple a Heat Pump used for Cooling.

Heat Pumps transfer Heat by pumping a medium used for heat transfer through a cycle of alternating evaporation and condensation. Two of the most commonly used mediums are Refrigerants R22, and R410A. A compressor pumps the Refrigerant between two Heat exchanger coils. In one coil, the Refrigerant is evaporated at low pressure and absorbs Heat from its surroundings. The Refrigerant is then compressed en route to the other coil, where it condenses at high pressure. At this point, it releases the Heat it absorbed earlier in the cycle.

An Air Conditioner is an example of a Heat Pump operating in the Cooling only or Straight Cool configuration. Heat is absorbed from inside the space to be Conditioned and transferred outside.

The Heat Pump cycle is reversible by implementation of a reversing valve in the Refrigeration circuit. A Heat Pump can provide year round conditioned air for your home, heating in winter and Cooling and Dehumidifying in summer.

The Air Source Heat Pump is the most popular type of Heat Pump; it absorbs and transfers Heat from the outdoor air in winter and it absorbs and transfers Heat from the indoor air during summer. Another type of Heat Pump is the Ground Source Heat Pump, also called a Geo Thermal Heat Pump System, it can absorb and transfer Heat to or from the ground or ground water, and is quite popular in certain geographic areas.

Some Key Points

Perform research on equipment brands and types to determine what fits your needs and budget. Choose your HVAC contractor wisely, be sure they have a valid contracting license with little or no complaints, look for a good rating with the better business bureau, and ask for references. Quality installation workmanship is key to the functionality and longevity of new HVAC equipment. Air conditioning and heat pumps must be installed by manufacturer’s specifications and to local and/or national codes.
