The primary function of an air conditioner is to remove sticky water from the air and put it into a drain. When sized correctly, the cooling affect is often secondary or incidental. Many times, the drain can become obstructed from dirt, especially if the air filtration system is poor.The other reason an ac leaking can be more serious- ice! When refrigerant levels are low and/or airflow is restricted the AC coil by your furnace or air handler freezes. When this happens, water collects & turns to ice and grows larger than the drain system, then defrosts. This water can infiltrate dark places and grow mildew, or even affect electronic components, damaging your hvac system. Inspect carefully with the power off and good a flashlight to see where the water is starting from. Many times, a hand from a hvac pro can save you lots of frustration.
The life expectancy of an air conditioner varies from climate to climate, the average age at replacement is 13 years. Your personal threshold for discomfort in sticky weather may cause you to replace your system every 10 years, or even when a major repair is needed. Medical conditions, empty or uncomfortable areas or your home, and a few other factors cause many homeowners to add a supplemental ductless heating and cooling system homeowners to add a supplemental ductless and see how many years they can get out of their central cooling system.
AC coils should be cleaned every year during the spring/summer months to prevent any pricy repairs or problems. During an AC Cleaning a licensed hvac technician will check the coil for cleanliness, leaks & refrigerant levels. All gas & electrical components are inspected for safety & performance. Your technician will inspect & change your filters, but it is also important to regularly change your filter every month in between seasonal tune ups of your hvac system.
For optimal performance air conditioners need to be serviced every year to ensure proper operation & efficiency. An AC tune up will include cleaning condenser coils, testing the refrigerant levels, inspecting the indoor blower motor & wheel & checking for leaks & debris. Neglecting annual maintenance could result in decreased performance & efficiency & can also lead to pricey repairs.
When covering the ac, it is important to do it with a breathable cover. All we are really looking to protect is the fan and the blades from ice and snow buildup.
On average, a direct replacement & installation of an air conditioning unit takes around 4 – 6 hours. Additional time may be required depending on factors such as if the installation team is replacing the coil, disconnect, lineset, flushing the lines, replacing the ac pad, setting the ac on brackets, etc. along with any other variables that may have been included in the agreement for the AC installation.
