A broken air conditioner is the last thing you need on a sweltering day. In Tennessee, the transition into warm weather comes quickly, and you don’t want to be unprepared. Use these tips to prepare your AC for summer and help
Our HVAC technicians come across heating and cooling systems in spaces that they aren’t designed for all the time. When your AC unit is too big for the space it’s cooling, AC short cycling occurs. This is a common problem that leads to complete AC unit failure.
If your system is too small, your AC works overtime without effectively cooling the space. In both cases, your power bills increase, and your HVAC system fails sooner than it should.
The leading factor for selecting an appropriate air conditioning system is the square footage and ceiling height of your space. Here are some additional variables that impact how efficiently your system will cool your home.
If your home or office has an existing and functioning air duct system, your new AC unit must be compatible with it to function properly. Mismatched systems waste energy and, therefore, money. If you need to replace your ductwork, the best time to do it is when you replace your AC unit.
Your home or office’s insulation plays an important role in keeping cool air inside your space. The more effective your insulation, the more efficient your air conditioning system performs.
Your home or office’s exterior affects how much heat is absorbed or reflected. Light exterior colors reflect sunlight and heat, while materials like brick absorb and retain heat.
While windows bring natural light into your home, they can also be the escape route for your cool indoor air. Single-pane windows are especially energy inefficient. The more you have in your home or office, the more indoor air escapes and the harder your air conditioning needs to work.
