Most air conditioning systems take a lot of abuse from constantly cycling to keep the building at a specific temperature and in some instances operating year round just to keep the home comfortable. Even in those parts of the country that enjoy a few cooler months during the winter time there are portions of your forced air system that are always in use. This is actually the way the units are designed. The common central air conditioner is part of a combined HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system where the fan or blower unit is located inside the home.
Central air conditioning appliances are designed with the primary condensing unit outside the home to draw the excess heat from the interior of the building. The condenser pulls the refrigerant through an insulated pipe and coil in the air exchange located in the furnace cabinet where the central blower pushes the cooler air throughout the home. When the A/C unit fails and requires Air Conditioning Repair in Davenport, FL the problem is often located in the external condensing area.
Of course, not all Air Conditioning Repair in Davenport, FL can be handled outside the home. Some problems such as a failed thermostat will require that the technician test the system at the furnace and blower areas as well as verifying the thermostat’s function. Another common failure with heavily used central air conditioning systems are an overworked blower motor. Because the fan works with both the heating and air conditioning sides of the system the motor may wear out quicker than the rest.
The key to getting the most out of your central air conditioning and heating system is proper maintenance. Quality heating and A/C contractors such as Charles M. Watts AC understands this concept which is why they offer their customers comprehensive service plans designed to extend the working life of their central air systems. Of course, testing the forced air unit is only the beginning. To prolong the components of the system such as the A/C condenser these technicians make sure the coolant levels are properly charged. Finally, to ensure the best airflow throughout the home they clean the internal coil to remove any possible blockages.
