In summer, high relative humidity, elevated air temperatures and bright sunshine can sometimes combine to produce an uncomfortable indoor environment. Air conditioners come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all operate on the same basic premise. 

An air conditioner provides cold air inside your home or enclosed space by removing heat and humidity from the indoor air. It returns the cooled air to the indoor space, and transfers the unwanted heat and humidity outside. 





What does an Air Conditioner do?

Types of Air Conditioners

Ductless air conditioners offer an effective, low-cost approach to providing comfort in a small space, up to three rooms, with minimum installation effort.

Types of Air Conditioners

Central air conditioners are used to cool the entire space. They are the most common way to cool a home. It replaces warm air with cool air that’s been passed over cold coils, then pushes it into your living spaces. The system utilizes an external condenser unit, and an interior evaporator coil. The fan in the indoor unit pulls warm air from inside your home into return air ducts, then passes it through filters to remove dust and airborne pollutants.That air passes over the cold evaporator coil, where liquid refrigerant absorbs heat, changes it into a gas refrigerant, and cools the air. The blower fan then sends the cooled air throughout your home.

Types of Air Conditioners

Heat Pumps can do both heat and cool, but an air conditioner cannot, which is the primary difference between the two HVAC systems. Air conditioners do not provide heating, but heat pumps do. Thanks to a reversing valve in the outdoor unit, a heat pump system works by extracting heat energy from outside air, even in extremely cold temperatures, transferring the heat inside the home, where it releases the heat into the air. In the summer, the heat pump can run in reverse. It finds heat inside your home, absorbs it, and releases it outside.

The cost of running an air conditioner will vary depending on its type, efficiency, and type of cooling source.

EFFICIENCY RATINGS : When buying an air conditioner, there are two ratings that will help you determine the unit’s efficiency: the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) and the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). The higher each number, the better the efficiency.

Keep your system clean – regularly clean filters, coils and ductwork to make sure it’s running as efficiently as possible. Consult your owner’s manual for detailed instructions.

How to size an air conditioner

Remember that bigger is not always better! Buying an air conditioner that is too large does not provide better cooling. An oversized air conditioner is actually less effective — and wastes energy at the same time.If the A/C is undersized, it will not keep the house at the desired temperature when it is warm outside.

If the air conditioner is too big it cools the house too quickly and then shuts off. 

This results in hot and cold swings in temperature in the house.

To properly determine the correct size for your air conditioner rental needs, please let us help by contacting our professionally trained representatives who will be able to assist you in making the right decision for your home.

Frequently asked QUESTIONS

How can I maintain my air conditioner?

What is a SEER rating and why do they matter?

Regular air conditioner maintenance could help to keep your unit running smoothly and at peak efficiency all summer long.

Servicing your air conditioner should be left to a professional.

Our local team of technicians have you covered. To schedule your air conditioner tune-up book online today.

A Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures the cooling efficiency of an air conditioning unit. Today’s air conditioning systems are highly-efficient, with SEER ratings ranging from 13 – 21. The higher the rating, the greater the energy efficiency. So, if conserving energy (and keeping your utility bills under control) is important to you, choose an air conditioner with a high SEER..
