Optimized Air Conditioner Performance

Optimized Air Conditioner Performance

 

Don’t let anyone fool you … the secret to optimized air conditioner performance is regular maintenance.  As your air conditioner performs it’s duties day after day, month after month there are a lot of things going on just out of sight, hidden from the homeowners view.  Whether you are running a high SEER energy efficient machine, or are trying to squeeze every last nickel out of the old equipment that was there when you bought your home, there is much to be gained by having an experienced set of eyes look nover your equipment on a regular basis.

Have you ever looked up into the sunlight and noticed the multitude of particles floating in the air?  While small and seemingly insignificant, over the course of time these small particles can accumulate inside your a/c equipment inhibiting air flow, and diminishing your air conditioners ability to move air through it so that it can be cooled.

Less airflow means less cooling!

 

Dirty fan blades cut down on the air conditoners engineered efficiency, resulting in higher cost to operate.

Dirty blades on a fan motor can make a significant difference in how effectively your air conditioner cools

The secret to optimized air conditioner performance is essentially keeping your a/c equipment able to move as much air as possible through a system that effectively removes latent heat in the form of moisture.  Without regular maintenance your air conditioner WILL begin to have a diminished ability to perform these functions fairly quickly.  If your a/c hasn’t been checked in over a year you definitely are over due.  A thorough system check will not only include air flow issues, but also, electrical connections, vegetative growth, mechanical integrity, biological infestations, and the effects of weather and heat on your equipment.

 

Community Cooling is offering a 16 point cooling system check which includes:

Clean your condenser coils.
Check operating pressures
Check electrical connections
Check sub-cooling
Check fan blade
Lubricate moving parts
Clean air filters
check thermostat
Check blower operation
Check controls
Check superheat
Check temperature drop across evaporator
Clean indoor coil if visible
Check complete unit operation
Treat condesate line and pan
Make necessary recommendation

This is a total system check that includes your entire air conditioning system.  Don’t be fooled by companies that claim they are doing a 32 or 54 point check.  This is disingenuous from the very start, and something of a negative indicator as to their overall honesty and trust-worthiness.  At Community Cooling we check everything, we explain everything, answer all your questions, and help you make informed decisions!  We NEVER try to upsell the job for our own benefit (as many of our competitiors do).

AC Repair Specialists

By on 08/26/2018 in Air Conditioner Repairs Ft Myers

AC Repair Specialists … and proud of it!

At Community Cooling we consider ourselves AC Repair Specialists, but, what does that mean exactly? There are many companies in SW Florida that employ a lot of men, keep a large number or trucks on the road, and have relatively high overhead expenses as a result. There is no way they are going to be able to operate at a profit without selling their customers on the idea that they need new equipment. You simply can’t generate enough cash flow by fixing air conditioners and doing inexpensive tune-ups …

… when all you need is a simple repair, they send you a trained salesman so they can add a high mark up to the price of the equipment!

This is the business model for many of our competitiors in the SW Florida area. Community Cooling offers a FREE second opinion to any who question the notion that their equipment needs to be replaced (especially if it is only a few years old.) At Community Cooling fair, honest service is the cornerstone of our business. We want to provide a level of service that not only earns your trust, but, earns your recommendation as well. There is no better advertising than the recommendation from a friend, and that is our objective from the very start.

We pride ourselves on our ability to find a solution to your air conditioner troubles that meets your needs, and stays within your budget as well. We show up, diagnose your air conditioners problem, and present all the options to, the customer, and let you decide the approach you think works best for you. Community Cooling has seen just about every kind of ac trouble there is … and knows exactly how to fix it.

Is Your AC Ready For Summer 2018?

By on 06/13/2018 in Air Conditioner Maintenance

Is Your AC Ready For Summer 2018?

Well informed homeowners are calling a lot lately to make certain they have an AC ready for Summer heat. This year, perhaps more than any other, promises to be an extremely hot one. Air conditioners will be challenged to work harder, and longer than ever in their constant battle against heat and humidity. The odds are stacked against them if their ac equipment is running at a fraction of the capability the manufacturers built into the equipment..

More and more we are seeing a diminishing quality in the way air conditioners are being manufactured these days. While technologically advanced, and in many cases “greener” … generally speaking it appears equipment being built overseas (most brands of equipment are now being built, or have components built overseas to keep costs down) doesn’t stand up to abuse, neglect, and being overworked as well as their American made counterparts from 10 years ago.  In my honest opinion … proper and regular air conditioner service has never been more important. With out proper care not only is the level of comfort in your home in jeapordy, but …

… lack of maintenance often leads equipment failure that rquires replacement!

Post Irma AC Work

By on 10/01/2017 in Air Conditioner Repairs Ft Myers

The past few weeks following Hurricane Irma have been busy for us. Aside from the normal, day to day repairs, services, and scheduled appointments that keep us hopping throughout the year we have also been facing a large number of calls related to Post Irma AC Work. High water and wind have wreaked havoc on many of our loyal clients HVAC equipment, and we have been extremely busy getting their air conditioners back up and running.

Park model home after Hurricane Irma

 

Customers in park model homes have really had it tough with post Irma ac work.  90% of park model homes have their ac ducts underneath the flooring, which makes those ducts susceptible to flooding when the water rises.  Even if somehow the ac is running, and blowing air, the fact that the air is entering the home by blowing over pooled water in the ducts (or even simply over damp duct material) means it is picking up moisture (humidity) before it even re-enters the home, which means that it will be difficult if not impossible to achieve the desired level of comfort.

Flooded or damp duct work makes a home nearly impossible to cool

Air Conditioning And Psychometric Charts

By on 01/30/2017 in Air Conditioning Information

Psychometric Charts are a valuable tool in selecting an air conditioning system “just right” for you.

 

When an air conditioning contractor wants specific, scientific data on the amount of latent heat a new air conditioner will be removing on a regular basis.  This information is a big piece of the puzzle in deciding not only the size of the air conditioner to be installed, but also, the number, layout, and sizes of the ducts and vents throughout the building.

 

Dry-bulb temperature is the temperature of the air as measured by a thermometer suspended in the air and not exposed to radiation and/or moisture.  Wet bulb temperature factors in the moisture in the air and correlates it with measureable levels of comfort.

 

The psychrometric chart is a handy tool that enables the reader to determine and calculate dry bulb, wet bulb, relative humidity, dew point temperature as well as other gas-vapor relationships with only limited information. This chart helps people, especially involved in heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems, to determine human comfort levels in relationship to changes in temperature and humidity

DBT is the temperature that is usually thought of as air temperature, and it is the true thermodynamic temperature. It indicates the amount of heat in the air and is directly proportional to the mean kinetic energy of the air molecules.

 

Example of a psychometric chart

source: www.coolbreeze.co.za

Unlike wet bulb temperature, dry bulb temperature does not indicate the amount of moisture in the air. In construction, it is an important consideration when designing a building for a certain climate. It is generally considered one of “the most critical climate variables pertaining to human comfort as relates to energy efficiency in both residential and commercial properties. The psychometric chart is one of the tools contractors rely heavily upon to determine the amount of latent heat, and moisture, a system will need to keep up with to ensure an acceptable level of comfort once the air conditioner is installed.

A/C Efficiency Begins With Proper Installation

Efficient air conditioner operation begins with proper installation!

There is always much talk about this brand of air conditioner or that is best, or better, or worse. In our experience it seems that more often than not, the multitude of air conditioner manufacturers are all about on par with each other with regard to durability and longevity. While maintenance also plays a huge role, an improperly installed air conditioner is fighting an uphill battle from day one! It will work harder, to produce less cooling, only to break down way too soon! Contractors too often rush through the installation process so they can get to their next appointment. Air conditioner installations need to be handled with great care, and their are many details to be attended to to ensure efficient operation.

At Community Cooling we service and repair all types and brands of air conditioners. Many air conditioning companies are closely tied to an air conditioner manufacturer, and have signed a contract that requires them to recommend that specific brand to all their customers.  Community Cooling and Heating has no such commitment , which means we can offer you the best value for your dollar … at this particular time, and for your specific needs.

Our installation technicians are all experienced and field tested. Their training goes beyond simply knowing how to do the work in an expert fashion. They are also trained to understand the science behind the equipment, and use that knowlege both to help diagnose problems quickly, and to explain the precise nature of the problem to our clients.  Additionally, we fully train our staff to respect our clients and their homes.
