Myths And Facts About Air Conditioners

Myths And Facts About Air Conditioners

What is AC, and How Does it Work?

AC is a standard fixture in many homes, offices, and public spaces. An air conditioning system cools the air in a building by circulating it through a central air conditioning unit and outdoor air ducts. The system is designed to make comfortable indoor conditions by reducing the temperature, humidity, and airborne contaminant levels.

Air conditioning works by using a series of evaporator fins chilled with coolants and run throughout your home by forced air. When mounted in a window, a separate outdoor unit draws room temperature air that is diverted through your house via forced air, ducting out the cool air. AC running can be used in a restricted room or continuously regulate the temperature in some systems.

A central AC unit consists of compressors & thermostats located outside and the condensing units whose function is to pull heat away from the indoor atmosphere and transfer it back to the outdoors, also known as discharge or discharge unit. When internal coils are cooled, electric current begins flowing through them, and freon gas within becomes cold. This cools the system taken up by two electric fans that push cold air toward the room through an air duct system.

Three Facts About Air Conditioners:

1. Remove humidity from your home
AC in Toronto does more than cool the air. An air-conditioning system also removes unwanted moisture from the air, which allows outside air to be cooled without requiring additional energy. This can save you money on your HVAC system's power bill and maintenance costs.

2. Adjustable and flexible temperature control
The air conditioner in Toronto can be programmed with a digital thermostat to make the temperature more conservable and save on your power bill.

3. Healthier living environment
Air Conditioners reduce the level of dust and pollen in your home. In addition to keeping you and your family cooler, an AC unit will also improve indoor air quality.

Three Myths About Air Conditioners:

1. Bigger AC units work better
While a unit's size indicates to some extent how much space the AC can cool, many other factors determine how well any AC will work. Bigger isn't always better.

2. Your home will cool faster by turning your thermostat way down
The opposite is true. Your home will cool faster at very high temperatures when you set your thermostat just a little to allow more money headed out of cooling.

3. Air conditioning can be the cause of your summer cold
The opposite is true. AC units effectively filter the air, making your home more comfortable and enjoyable and less likely to provide the breeding surface for dust mites, resulting in a less vulnerable to respiratory infections.

FAQ

  • Most common Boiler Issues

    - Boiler fails to ignite
    - Low pressure
    - Strange Noises
    - Boiler is not responding to the thermostat
    - Cold Radiators
    - Boiler leaking or dripping

  • 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.

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.
