How an Air Conditioner Cools Your Home
Have you ever wondered how an air conditioner works? Having this knowledge shows you how important installing an adequately-sized air conditioner is for your home.
Air conditioners, much like your furnace, run off your home’s thermostat controls. When you set the thermostat to the “Cool” setting and select a temperature, the thermostat communicates with the circuit board whenever the unit is needed. The circuit board then signals the blower and condenser, moving air into your ducts. This warm air passes the unit’s evaporator coil, where it is cooled. The warmth from the air is absorbed by the air conditioner’s refrigerant and moved outside the home.
The cold air is then pumped through your ducts and into every room in your home. The system that you select must be powerful enough to send air throughout the house, however, as a unit that is too small for your home will leave some areas without cold air.
The expert technicians at Hunt’s Services know what size of an air conditioner to order for your home and will make sure that you end up with the right one.
Redmond Air Conditioner Replacement
Homes that already have the air conditioning infrastructure in place make for a far easier installation. That’s because the wiring is already in place and the ductwork is retrofitted, so our technicians will have less work to do.
Before we replace your unit, we might attempt an air conditioning repair. This service could save you money, as the goal is to get your existing system up and running again. If the unit is beyond repair, we’ll move on to a new installation.
Replacing your air conditioner begins by deciding on the size you require for your home. Square footage, the number of floors, and how many rooms you have in your home all go into the formula. Keep in mind that there’s a chance that your old air conditioner was the wrong size, which is why we’ll reevaluate your needs before the installation.
After we figure out the equipment you require to cool your home efficiently, we’ll remove your old air conditioner and install a new one. We’ll also handle all electrical work, which could include installing a new thermostat, to ensure that your system is running optimally.
Installing a Brand New Air Conditioning System
It’s a little more work to install an air conditioning system in homes that have never had one, but Hunt’s Services can handle it. The process will involve retrofitting your ductwork, which will make it possible for cold air to move through your vents.
We’ll also have to install some new wiring, which could involve putting a new circuit breaker on your electrical panel, along with a concrete slab or some metal brackets outside your home.
Your actual air conditioning unit will sit outside, so there could be some drilling through your foundation, as well. Installing a new air conditioner in Redmond, WA, is a significant job, but calling Hunt’s Services at 253-533-7500 makes it far less stressful for you.
