Air conditioning systems have been around for many decades and have developed from simple window based appliances to large centralized systems known as an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) unit. While these devices provide many benefits such as improved airflow throughout the home and properly treated air in every room, they also present a few challenges. For instance, the HVAC should have annual service to ensure that everything is functioning properly. In many cases it may require service on the air conditioner system in the spring or early fall to efficiently cool the home as well as cleaning of the heating unit before winter so the furnace operates properly.
Along with annual maintenance, you also have to be concerned about the occasional breakdown and how much the repairs will cost. An HVAC can sometimes be expensive to repair when the unit is old or the failure covers more than one area. In some cases it may be cheaper in the long run to simply invest in a complete Central Air Conditioner Replacement. This way you have a properly operating air conditioner and much less to worry about.
Central Air Conditioner Replacement takes a little more effort than simply swapping out one or two pieces. For example, the contractor will need to replace both the exterior condensing unit that controls the compression of the refrigerant as well as the interior cabinet that houses the evaporator coil and blower. In some instances it may be possible to replace only the condensing system, but this will leave you with a mismatched HVAC and portions of the system will still break down unexpectedly.
Along with the mechanical components it is important to ensure the HVAC is properly connected to the home’s duct work. If the ducts leak, the treated air won’t get where it needs to be. This problem will make the system struggle to keep things cool or warm as required and wind up costing you more money in utility bills. This is why it’s important to have an experienced, professional contractor such as AAA Wicks handle the installation. You can learn more about this contractor by visiting us.
