Unlike most furnaces, air conditioners are complex mechanical systems that depend on a variety of conditions to work correctly. If more heat is produced indoors either from having more people or appliances or because of changes in the house, the air conditioning unit may not be able to keep up.
It's best to have a professional install your AC unit. They can ensure that the unit is installed on a level surface (so that the inside drainage system operates properly), that it's out of direct sunlight, and that it has sufficient airflow to work efficiently.
Did you know that rigid media pads help swamp coolers to cool more effectively than fiber ones? These pads allow air to pass through at a lower velocity, resulting in air that’s a few degrees cooler than with fiber pads.
If you look at older buildings, you'll see things like high ceilings, a lot of brick, and sleeping porches. All of these architectural features were used to keep houses cool before air conditioning, which is why you don't see them much anymore.
If you’ve recently added a wine cellar to your home, you may not be sure what’s the most cost-effective way to keep it at the appropriate temperature. Let us show you what cooling options we have.
Air conditioning is provided through the removal of heat, which is accomplished through radiation, convection, and conduction. Because cooling alone would be very uncomfortable, air conditioning systems provide a combination of cooling, humidity control, and ventilation for a portion of or an entire building.
