The technology behind cooling our most important living spaces is ingenious and simple. It’s based on using a chemical refrigerant such as Freon®, which easily converts from gas to liquid, to transfer heat out of your home. An air conditioner cycles the refrigerant through its system, removing heat with each cycle, until your home has reached the desired temperature. An air handler is the indoor unit that provides conditioned air circulation through your home. An air-handling unit includes a blower, heating and/or cooling elements, filter racks or chambers and dampers. Air handlers usually connect to ductwork that distributes the conditioned air through the building and returns it to the air handler.
If you have a forced air furnace, the air handler is the part that blows the hot air out. It probably also circulates cooled air from your air conditioner. If you don’t have a furnace, you may have a stand-alone air handler to blow cool air from your air conditioner and/or hot air from your heat pump through your home’s ductwork. Changing your filters regularly is the key maintenance for your air handler, whether it's part of your furnace or a stand-alone unit. You should also have your entire system inspected and maintained by a professional each year to make sure that any potential problems are caught before they become big. Call 866-399-2885 to set up an appointment with your local ARS®/Rescue Rooter® air conditioning specialist if you have questions about your air conditioning system. What is an air conditioner compressor? This is a common question from customers. The air conditioner compressor’s function is to squeeze the refrigerant, which arrives at the compressor as a cool, low-pressure gas.
This added pressure increases its energy and temperature, so the working fluid leaves the compressor as a hot, high-pressure gas. This compressed, hot gas then passes to the condenser (the part of your air conditioner that has metal fins all around). The fins help the heat dissipate more quickly. When the working fluid leaves the condenser, its temperature is much cooler and it has changed from a gas to a liquid under high pressure. It then heads inside to complete the cooling process in the evaporator coil. In a central air conditioning system, the compressor (and the condenser) is located in the box outside your home. If your air conditioner runs, but is not cooling your home, the problem is often the air conditioner compressor. It is important to keep your AC compressor clean. Clear away any leaves, grass clippings or debris from the housing and rinse it off with a hose. If you want to clean the aluminum fins inside, use special fin tool or a paint brush and be careful not to bend them.
The AC evaporator coil is the part of the air conditioning system that actually pulls heat out of your home’s air. After the compressor and condenser have turned the Freon into a cool liquid under intense pressure, the evaporator allows the liquid to evaporate, which extracts heat from the surrounding air, lowering the air temperature. Now that you have cool air, it needs to circulate through your home—and that’s where the air handler comes in. For your air conditioner to work efficiently, it's important to keep your evaporator coil clean. Usually, this is as simple as changing your filter frequently­—each month in the peak cooling months. The thermostat is the remote control for your home's heating and cooling systems. It works to control your system and deliver the exact room temperature you desire. There are two basic types: electro-mechanical thermostats and digital thermostats.Electro-mechanical thermostats are the older types with little metal coils and a mercury tube inside.
As the temperature in a room shifts, the coils either contract or expand, pushing the mercury to one end of its tube or the other, which signals the HVAC system to either turn on or off.Digital thermostats are much more accurate at keeping your home comfortable. Most models today are programmable thermostats, which means you can set times for your system to run or shut down. Because you have much more control, you can possibly save on your energy costs by reducing your heat and cooling when you don't need as much. What most people don’t realize is that their equipment is only part of the solution. To fully feel the benefits of your air conditioning and heating system, your ductwork must be as well thought out—and maintained—as your HVAC unit. Some new homes these days are being built with ductwork running through the conditioned living space. By constructing an insulated zone between the ceiling joists and a dropped ceiling, or between the walls mainly in the corners of a room, ducts can exist in an area where any lost air would contribute to the overall comfort of the home.
