How does an air conditioner work?

Air conditioning, as we know it, is accomplished by removing heat from the air and then distributing that cooled air throughout the house/building. It is not possible to create cold.  Cold is simply the lack of heat.  Therefore, air conditioning works by removing the heat from the air as it passes through the system. [...]

Can I control the humidity inside my house?

Yes!  However, it takes the proper system setup to be able to regulate it well.  First, the system must be sized properly for your home/building.  If a system is too large it will not run long enough to pull enough moisture from the air. This is known as short cycling.  Having longer run cycles [...]

What is the difference between an air conditioner and a heat pump?

A standard air conditioner will rely on either electric strips or a gas furnace to heat the home. A heat pump has a reversing valve that allows the unit to reverse the flow of the refrigerant [...]

What is difference between R-22 and R-410A Freon?

R-22 is the “old” refrigerant or “Freon” that has been used for many years in central air conditioners. Over the past decade, R-22 has been phasing out and replaced with R-410A.

What is the difference between a split-system and a package unit?

A split-system has a separate condenser (outdoor unit) and air handler or furnace/coil (indoor unit).  A package system has the condenser and air handler or furnace together in one machine. Most homes contain a split-system type setup.  However, residential package units are used in some applications.  Commercial buildings also utilize both types of systems. [...]

What is a mini-split or ductless system?

A mini-split or ductless system features an indoor air handler that blows directly into a room and does not utilize any ducts.  Some systems offer the ability to connect multiple air handlers to one outdoor condenser unit.  This allows for each room to be controlled individually. Air handlers are available in several different configurations, [...]

What is an air handler?

In an all-electric system (doesn’t use gas for heat), the air handler is the indoor unit. It includes the blower that circulates air throughout the home, the evaporator coil and heat strips.

What is a SEER rating?

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating.  Simply put, it is a scale that measures how much electricity a particular system will use to operate. Just as in gas mileage for a car, the higher the number, the better. As of Jan. 1st, 2015, the minimum SEER rating for systems in the Southern portion [...]
