AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE IN SAVANNAH

Most experts will advise getting your air conditioning unit serviced at least once a year to ensure that everything is in working order, and your system is not going to break down anytime soon. The technician will check your condenser and evaporator coil, repair or replace the filters, inspect the thermostat and the fan motor, and verify that the condensate pump is working. The system has enough refrigerant charge.

It is usually recommended that you book a service appointment shortly before you begin using the air conditioner in late spring when the weather warms up in Savannah, Georgia.

Your air conditioning unit's lifespan will depend on a number of factors, including build and installation quality, how well it is maintained, and how much it is used.

Nonetheless, the lifespan of an average air conditioning unit is usually between 15 to 20 years. You will probably have to repair and replace a few parts during this time. Contracting a trained HVAC technician's services is essential to do this as attempting repairs on your own can be risky.

The cost of replacing an air conditioning unit will vary depending on the type of unit and your home's cooling needs. A new system's price will usually start at around $1,700 but can rise as high as $11,000. The average price is around $5,500.

If you are a trained HVAC technician, installing a new unit is not a complicated procedure. However, it involves specialist equipment and knowledge, which means that it is not a job that an amateur can typically tackle.

Central air is compatible with almost any home. Accommodating is simply a question of investing in ductwork and making design allowances. If you have no space to install ductwork, you may consider opting for a ductless mini-split system that uses compact air handlers that can be mounted in specific rooms or zones of the home.

The size of the cooling unit that you buy is essential. Too small, and it will struggle to produce enough cold air and score low when it comes to energy efficiency. Too large and it will suffer from rapid cycling and cause excess humidity that can negatively impact indoor air quality.

Choosing the right size of the air conditioner requires carrying out a Manual J calculation. To do this, you will need to work out the room area or area you want the air conditioner to service. You will then need to multiply this figure by a factor of 25 to get the number of BTUs you will need your system to be capable of.

When browsing air conditioning units, you will inevitably come across the acronym SEER. This stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, the most commonly used rating for energy efficiency for electrical appliances in North America.

When evaluating the SEER of air conditioning units, you should know that the more efficient the system is, the higher the number. At the time of writing, the minimum SEER permitted by law for air conditioners is 13, while the maximum possible 21.

There is a wide range of reasons why an air conditioning system may be incapable of producing cold air. The most common are a blocked or clogged filter, low refrigerant charge or a refrigerant leak, a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse, thermostat issues, or dirty coils.

If you suspect any of the issues mentioned above, you should call an HVAC technician today to check whether the problem is one that you can resolve on your own or one which will require you to call out a contractor.

The most common reason for a unit that regularly freezes is insufficient airflow due to a clogged air filter or an obstruction in your ductwork. When not enough air reaches the evaporator coils, there is nowhere for the cold temperature to go, and the inside of the unit can freeze.

To defrost an air conditioning unit, turn the cold air off and leave the fan running. After six hours, the coils should have unfrozen, and you should be able to use the system again. However, if the problem keeps recurring, it may be a sign of a more serious issue that will require the attention of a professional HVAC technician.

It is recommended that you replace your HVAC filter at least once every 20-90 days. If you have two or more pets, or someone in your household suffers from asthma or allergies, you should replace the air filter once every month when the system is in regular use. If you are a single person living alone with no pets, you should be good with only changing the filter once every three months.

If you carry out a regular air conditioning maintenance regime, you should ensure that it remains operational and ready to use anytime the temperature rises. A proper maintenance routine does not require any special skills to carry out, consisting of the following simple actions:

• Keeping the area around the exterior unit clear of leaves, debris, and foliage
• Changing the filter regularly
• Keeping ductwork clean
• Cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils regularly
• Making sure that the fins do not get bent out of shape
• Ensuring that drain lines are clear

The weight of an air conditioning unit can vary based on the type, model, and purpose of a unit. A large residential unit is going to weigh much more than a smaller residential unit. Typical residential units can weigh hundreds of pounds.

Sometimes, you may see air conditioning or other HVAC units referred to in tonnage, ex a 4-ton air conditioning unit. In this instance, tonnage refers to how much air a unit can displace, referencing how quickly it can adjust the temperature in a set amount of space. Check out our blog post on this to learn more!
