The Basics of How Your Air Conditioner works, Explained by Ross Heating and Cooling.

   The Basics of Air conditioning starts by understanding that it does more than

   cool the air.

   

   · It "conditions" it by removing dust  and dirt as the air moves through the filter.

   · Lowers the humidity, making the air more comfortable and easier to breath.

   · Depending on what part of the country you live in , air conditioning can  cost you up to 50% 

     of your heating and air conditioning budget.

Central air conditioners have two components to understand: the condenser and the evaporator. The condenser unit is located outside the house on a concrete slab. The evaporator coil is mounted inside the main duct junction just above the furnace

The motor, blower, and ductwork used for heating are used to distribute cool air from the air conditioning unit. When the central air conditioner is working, hot air inside  your home flows to the furnace through the return air duct. The hot air moves across the cooled evaporator coils inside the main duct junction above the furnace and is  distributed through the air ducts to cool your home. When the air conditioner works but the house doesn't cool, the problem needs to be inspected by Ross Heating and Cooling. It could be as simple as the condenser needs cleaned.

The evaporator and the condenser are both sealed. So, a professional service technician from Ross Heating and Cooling should be called for all maintenance other than routine cleaning. Air conditioners should be inspected and adjusted before the beginning of every cooling season.  Depending in what part of the country you live. In Ohio you would call in March/April. Don't let your maintenance end with this annual inspection. You should have an inspection for the heating unit when cold weather comes.  There are some simple things you can do yourself, such as changing the air filter regularly. Make sure the power to the system, is turned off.

If you hear any funny noises, the air is not cool, or you can not turn on the Air conditioner call
