Is an Air Conditioner Tune Up service, AC Cleaning or AC Preseason Cleaning on Your Spring Cleaning List?

When spring arrives, so many homeowners are working on their spring cleaning lists. Most homeowners include things like putting away the winter linens, washing floors and windows and generally decluttering the home among their list of things that need done. However, do not forget to include an air conditioner tune up on the spring cleaning list. Before you know it, the hot weather will arrive and that air conditioner will be put to use in cooling and dehumidifying the home's air. There are many important reasons and benefits to include a tune-up for the air conditioning system on your yearly spring cleaning list.

Benefits of having AC or HVAC system professionally cleaned and maintained

A tune up service for the air conditioning system ensures that it will operate efficiently, effectively and safely. A dirty or poorly lubricated motor could overheat, resulting in a system breakdown and costly repair bill. A low coolant level could result in ineffective cooling and dehumidification of the home. Proper tune up service checks for these issues as well as any other potential problems could prevent them from occurring. Its benefits are listed below:

Higher energy efficiency - Dust buildup, loose connections and dirty coils considerably reduce an air conditioner's efficiency.

Lower energy bills - When your HVAC system is inefficient, you pay a lot more for cooling your home than is necessary.

Lower carbon footprint - A well-maintained air conditioner uses less electricity, which means fewer greenhouse gas emissions associated with producing that electricity.

Fewer problems with your system - Poorly maintained air conditioners experience far more common and highly preventable problems during the cooling season than well-maintained systems.

Longer operating life - A well-maintained air conditioner can last longer than the typical life span of 10 to 15 years, while a poorly maintained system will fail sooner.

What is included in the AC Cleaning package?

A tune up service for the air conditioning system works like a tuning up service for the family car. Our skilled technician will perform a comprehensive inspection, cleaning and testing of the AC or HVAC system to increase its efficiency and help prevent operating problems later on. Tune up will include these essential tasks:

A comprehensive system inspection Filter replacement Inspect and flush the condensate drain to prevent clogs later on, which can cause water damage in the home and shut down the air conditioner. Lubricate the parts of the cooling system that move, such as the motor and fan, to prevent friction. Inspect the terminals and wiring, tighten connections and apply nonconductive coating to prevent the wires and terminals from corroding. Clean and inspect essential components, including the fan, motor and coils, to increase efficiency and help prevent premature failure. Measure the refrigerant charge. Low refrigerant levels mean that either the system wasn't properly charged when it was installed, or that you have a leak. Either way, if the system is low on refrigerant, it won't operate properly and will experience a number of operating problems. If a leak is detected, it will be repaired and refrigerant will be added to meet the exact specifications of the system. Inspect the seal between the ductwork and the main AC unit to ensure air isn't leaking out. Check the thermostat for accuracy and calibrate it if needed. Inspect fuses and belts. Inspect AC coils for scale, dirt and grime buildup, which reduces the efficiency of heat exchange. Measure the airflow of the system to ensure it meets specifications Running a system performance test

Most tune up services for ducted units will also include an inspection of the ductwork to ensure that the conditioned air will reach all areas of the home.

When to schedule AC or HVAC Tune up?

AC tune up or service should ideally be performed in the spring before the cooling season begins, to ensure the cooling system is ready to go when the heat hits. Getting a tune up or service early also ensures you beat the early summer rush, when waiting times are long.

Always hire a reputable contractor for an air conditioning tune-up. Reputable contractors hire skilled technicians who participate in ongoing training in order to keep up with changing technologies and new techniques. They also typically have excellent professional service and guarantee their work.

Ductless Split System | Mini Split System in NYC

What's a Ductless split system or Mini Split System?

A ductless mini split system is comprised of an indoor unit called the evaporator and an outdoor unit called the condensing unit. The evaporator is connected to the condensing unit by copper tubing and electrical wiring which is passed through a 2 ½” – 3” hole. Basically, it is a small central air unit with the flexibility of cooling or heating one room or more; zoning. All that's required to install the ductless mini split system is a hole to run the refrigerant lines between the indoor and outdoor units. the indoor system uses low voltage wiring, so there is less need to worry about an electrical hazard. The mini ductless split system can be used in just about any space you would like it, it doesn't matter if the room is small or large. there is a mini-split system that can be used. The dual and tri-zone models have an extraordinary arrangement of capacities in both A/C and heat pump models.

What are the advantages of installing ductless mini split over a central air system?

1) With Central Air you must cool an entire home when only one room may need cooling. On the other hand, ductless mini split systems cool only the areas you want and not the areas you don’t. 2) 18,000 BTU is a typical minimum central air unit. With ductless mini split systems, you can use 7,000, 9,000 or 12,000 BTUs. 3) Typical homes are not zoned or require complex zoning systems, which makes it very expensive for the homeowner. With ductless mini split system, multiple evaporators make zoning as simple as setting a remote control. 4) Energy wasted in long lengths of uninhabited ductwork means higher energy bills. Less than 5% cooling loss occurs in insulated refrigerant lines compared with up to 25% through ducts. 5) Retrofitting existing construction requires cutting holes in walls, floors, ceilings or decreasing closet space with ducts. Ductless mini split systems requires just a 3 or 4” diameter hole in the outside wall. Means less mess and better home aesthetics.

What are different types of Ductless mini split systems?

Choice of Ductless mini split system depends on four main factors mentioned below; Zones: Single Zone, Dual Zone, Tri Zone or Multi-zone Placement Location: Ceiling Cassette, Ceiling-Suspended, Concealed Duct, Wall Mounted Heat preference: Cooling Only or Heat Pumps Capacity: Available from 1 ton to 10 tons
