How to Use Your Air Conditioner Effectively in 2022

Temperatures are reaching extreme levels that require every homeowner to invest in an HVAC system.

An effective HVAC system is well-maintained, energy-efficient, and budget-friendly—contact experts A Plus Quality Inc. for a proper installation or maintenance of your heating and cooling system. A Plus Quality is a full-service Heating and Air Conditioning Company, that has proudly served the residential and commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) need throughout Toronto and Vaughan area for over 20 years. We will install energy-efficient systems to qualify you for the Canada Greener Homes Grant. For the best indoor air quality, it is vital to maintain the HVAC system in your home.

Here are a few tips on how to use your air conditioner effectively:

Check the Filter

Check and clean your air filters regularly for better air quality. Replace the air filters at least once every season to keep them running efficiently. An energy-efficient HVAC system reduces energy consumption and helps save money on electricity bills. Check our blog to learn a few tips to improve indoor air quality.

Install the Smart Thermostat

Smart thermostats offer convenient features to control the comfort of your home. They are app-enabled, allowing you to change the temperature or turn off the HVAC from anywhere. The devices feature occupancy sensors to change the temperatures automatically by determining whether you are home or away. Some thermostats use your phone's location to determine how to change the temperature. The smart control on some conditioners tracks your usage and alerts you when it is appropriate to clean the filters.

Check the Indoor Humidity

Indoor humidity affects the cooling efficiency by making the surrounding air warm. The HVAC system has to work overtime to achieve coolness. This strain on the system can cause a breakdown, whose fixing might be costly. It also increases electricity bills. Humidity levels in the home can promote the growth of algae and mold in the system's ducts, resulting in poor air quality. Install a dehumidifier to save on the cost of repairing the HVAC.

Contact A Plus Quality Heating and Cooling Company in Toronto & GTA for the installation of systems within your budget range.

FAQ

  • Why is there ice building up on the copper pipes?

    There can be many reasons why the refrigerant pipes are freezing up but the most common issue is low refrigerant levels. If your AC unit has ice buildup turn off the unit for at least 4 hours and call us at 416-410-0337

  • What are mini-split advantages?

    Just as the name implies, a “mini-split” system is a “split system” however available in smaller capacities, for single room to whole house conditioning. Mini-split systems may range from as small as 9,000 BTUh per hour, comparable to say, a small window AC unit, for individual room use, up to 4 and 5 ton capacities for “Room By Room” (also known as “Zoning”) and whole house conditioning. With near universal design, mini-splits are “heat pumps” which provide both heating and cooling for a home. Here are key advantages when compared to traditional split systems:

    Efficiency- Mini-splits are highly engineered systems which offer attractive operating efficiencies, in many instances, eligible for utility company rebates.
    Heat Pump- Most mini-split systems are heat pumps, providing year-round comfort.
    Solar friendly- Due to very low power requirements, mini-splits are an ideal complement to “Net Zero Energy” homes, or any home using renewable power.
    Carbon footprint- Mini-splits are 100% electric, with zero operating emissions of any type.
    Zoning- Most mini-split manufacturers offer systems capable of room-by-room “zoning”, to account for peak demands of a room based upon construction type, exposure orientation and usage.
    Variable capacity- Mini-splits are typically DC inverter driven. That is, a variable speed compressor which modulates in proportion to instantaneous demand. Most conventional split systems, by comparison, operate with an ON-OFF strategy. (Would you use an ON-OFF switch as the accelerator in your vehicle?)
    Location, Location, Location!- Mini-split outdoor units are compact; they can be located far away from noise-sensitive areas, such as bedrooms and home offices. Mini-split indoor units have the ability to be installed where conventional systems cannot.
    They’re perfect for additions and remodels where access to current HVAC system is difficult to access.
    Modern mini-split systems are remarkably quiet; in fact, many times their operation is unnoticed by the end user.

  • Water is Leaking on my Furnace

    Water falling on to the furnace can harm your heating unit by affecting the control boards and other components enclosed in the furnace. There can be many causes to the water overflow, but the most common cases in the summer is the ice build up inside the evaporator coil due to low refrigerant level. Water build up can also be due to the evaporator coil having a crack on the base, if this is the case contact us by booking an appointment or call us today to have a technician come have a look at your unit and repair this issue before it causes excessive damage.  

  • Furnace is blowing cold air in Winter?

    This can be due to Ignition lockout, sometimes could be resolved by resetting the power  and if this does not resolve the issue you should contact a certified gas technician from A-Plus Quality to get this problem resolved!

  • Why should I maintain my Furnace or AC?

    An annual maintenance will extend the lifetime of your heating and cooling unit. The technician will diagnose and repair any problem with the unit before it fails, so you won't need to worry about any problems when the weather gets very hot in the summer or extremely cold in the winter.
