Bearings are commonly found in AC systems and consist of ring-like parts with a set of enclosed balls. They are designed to reduce friction. Bearings fit over shafts to constrain motion while simultaneously providing a smoother method of operation. Bearings can wear out. If your AC system has a worn bearing, you’ll need to get …
High static pressure in your HVAC is an industry term referring to the measurement of air resistance encountered by the blower. The more resistance the blower encounters the higher its static pressure. Reasons for this could be poor system design, ductwork not being installed properly, or poor filter choices. Your HVAC system must circulate air …
The compressor is one of the most important parts of an AC system. It works in conjunction with the coils to transfer heat from an indoor space to an outdoor space. Both split and packaged AC systems have a compressor. While you typically won’t see the compressor, it will turn on automatically when your AC …
To beat the Texas summer heat, look no further than a central AC system. The right size system will efficiently cool your home by transferring heat via a pair of coils. The benefits of a central AC system, however, go beyond cooling. Cleaner Air Indoor air is oftentimes more polluted than outdoor air. According to …
In central Texas, our garages can get pretty hot during the summer months. Since most homes don’t have a climate-controlled garage, even if the garage is attached to your home, you can run your AC system all day long and it won’t affect the temperature in your garage. There are several ways you can cool …
When performing a visual inspection of your AC system, you may come across a set of valves. Known as service valves, they are connected to the refrigerant lines. They are typically found around the condenser unit. To learn more about service valves and how they work, keep reading. What Are Service Valves? Service valves are …
If your AC system is leaking refrigerant, you’ll need to get it fixed as soon as possible. AC systems contain many different parts. The refrigerant will flow through most of these parts with the exception of the condenser fan and blower. While AC systems are designed to be sealed, leaks can and do occur. Maybe …
Does your AC system have a noisy compressor? As it compresses the hot refrigerant in your AC system, the compressor will make noise, but some compressors are noisier than others. If you’re tired of dealing with a noisy compressor, you might consider the following solutions to make it quieter. Use a Compressor Blanket There are …
When inspecting your AC system, you should look for signs of corrosion. AC systems contain many parts. If a part is made of metal – or if it contains metal – it may corrode. Corrosion occurs when metal is exposed to oxygen. Oxygen in the air or moisture can trigger this chemical reaction. Here are …
Located in the condenser unit, the compressor’s job is to pressurize the gaseous refrigerant so that it can release more heat. While all compressors are designed to perform this task, scroll compressors have become increasingly popular for some very good reasons. What Is a Scroll Compressor? A scroll compressor is a type of AC system …
