Burned wires and connections on air conditioner compressor

“… a burned air compressor wire is a common problem, easily fixed, with the correct tools and hardware …”

It was apparent that there had been a fire, of some sort,  inside the air conditioner and it had burned the insulation off of the wires as far back as about 3 to 6 inches from the compressor
connection, and seem to have charred the wire itself to the same point, but, it could also just be the burned insulation making it look like the wires were burned.   We installed electrical connectors specifically for this type of repair called Term Lok.  10 or 15 years ago burned wires and spade connectors might have been the end of the compressor.  With the introduction of Term Lok to the air conditioning contractors tool bag the expected life of a compressor has gone way up.

We recommend Term Lok adapters when appropriate to do so. They can extend the life of a compressor for years!

” … too often an honest air conditioner repair guy is hard to find!

Right from the very start, way back in 1970, Community Cooling made a conscious decision to earn their reputation as knowledgeable, reliable, members of the SW Florida/Fort Myers community (hence the Name Community Cooling and Heating) who can be trusted to provide honest air conditioner repair, maintenance, and installation services to the Ft Myers community and surrounding areas.

Honest air conditioner repair means putting your clients needs first!

 

When you see an air conditioning contractor that has 10 … 15 … 20 or even more trucks on the road, it doesn’t take much thinking to start understanding how much money it costs to keep that fleet moving.  Forget the cost of purchasing those trucks, or outfitting them with the standard array of tools and materials, there is also a long list of continuous recurring expenses associated with each truck  every week/month such as to include …

 

GAS

INSURANCE

WAGES FOR A LEAD MAN AND HIS HELPER

TRUCK MAINTENANCE

REPLENISHING STOCK

A company with this kind of ongoing overhead has almost no choice but to aggressively push their clients into replacing their HVAC equipment, whether it is the most practical solution or not … they have to generate large amounts of cash every week just to make payroll for their employees.  That is one of the reasons many companies offer ridiculously low priced a/c inspections to get their foot in the door.  Their a/c tech is often a polished sales professional trained to sell fear, and close the deal!

Many air conditioner repairs are a direct result of poor maintenance!

Air conditioning contractors specializing in service and repairs see a wide variety of problems in their day to day travels in Ft Myers, Cape Coral, and the surrounding Lee County, Florida area.  The past few months have been no exception.  This is the time of year when air conditioners face their toughest challenges, run the longest, and work the hardest.  A large percentage of the air conditioner repairs we perform are the direct result of improper maintenance.  Proper and regular servicing keeps your equipment running, your home comfortable, and your expense for air conditioner repairs at a minimum.

Air conditioner maintenance saves you money in the long run!

Air conditioner maintenance is the number one, best way to keep  your air conditioning equipment performing at top efficiency, and making it last for as many years as possible.  Without dis-assembling your air conditioning equipment regularly, for a visual inspection, area,s that need cleaning, adjustment, or replacement can go unseen, and the issues unaddressed, causing unsatisfactory output, excessive energy consumption, and ultimately worn or damaged equipment.  At Community Cooling and Heating we take a thorough and meticulous look at your entire air conditioning system, paying careful attention to situations conducive to diminished performance,or indications of potential trouble in the future.  If, or when, we find a problem we will show you the specific problem, present to you the options available to us, and let YOU decide the course of action YOU want to take according to your needs and budget.

Don’t be fooled by manipulative advertisements!

There are a number of air conditioning contractors claiming they check 30, 40, even 50+ different items in their servicing of your equipment. This is a little misleading, and in our minds raises concerns over the honesty and integrity of the companies offering such inspections. Community Cooling offers a 16 point inspection of your equipment, and that pretty much covers the whole system from top to bottom. There simply aren’t that many parts to be checked or serviced on an air conditioner, any claim that a contractor is performing an inspection of 50+ different parts of an air conditioner seems to indicate an attempt at manipulation, or perhaps justification of an unnecessarily high price for their service.

Air Conditioner Performance Tied To Evaporator Coil Cleaning

Cleaning a/c evaporator coil can save you money!

An air conditioners condenser coils work hand in hand with the compressor. The compressor literally squeezes the refrigerant into a hot, pressurized liquid. The hot liquid then travels into the condenser and circulates within its many coils. The heat from the liquid escapes through the condenser’s fins. When the continuously cooling fluid reaches the end of the condenser’s coils, it is considerably cooler but still a pressurized liquid. The working fluid then flows through a valve with a small diameter opening and leaves the condenser as a mist. The liquid evaporates into a gas as it leaves the condenser and enters the evaporator. As the liquid evaporates, it draws heat out of the air around the coils and cools it. The air conditioner’s fan circulates this cooled air through the ducts of the home or business resulting in a cooler, more comfortable environment for it’s occupants..

“A dirty or uncleaned compressor coil costs you money every month!”

Dirty air conditioner coils

Dirty a/c coils badly in need of cleaning.

“A 10 year old air handler that finally needed to be cleaned by a chemical designed to clean this type of coil.
It’s kind of like the way “oven off ” works cleaning your oven.
We let the chemical clean the coil and rinse it off with a hose.
This is a during and after picture of this coil being cleaned.”

This recently cleaned evaporator coil will allow the the rest of the equipment to do it’s job efficiently!

Freshly cleaned a/c coil

Sameair conditioner coil after cleaning

This is usually not something that needs to be cleaned every year. Depending upon the type of filter being used, conditions of environment the system is working in , dirt, dust, location of filter in home ie ceiling or lower wall and temperature thermostat is set at. The lower the temperature the more hours of operation the faster the filter and evaporator coil gets dirty. What is important is to have it checked with some regularity! While we recommend servicing air conditioning equipment twice a year we realize most people are going to push it a little farther to save a few dollars, however, a dirty evaporator coil can impact your electric bill to the extent that you end up paying more on your electric bill than you would have for the servicing …

Air Conditioners Often Only Need A Simple Fix

By on 11/12/2014 in Air Conditioner Repairs Ft Myers

Air Conditioning Service Ft Myers

When your air conditioner stops working you imagine the worst (expensive repairs), but, often it is a simple matter!

We recently got a call from a long time customer we have been servicing for years. He was rather concerned because his air conditioner was apparently needing some attention, and he was pretty sure it wasn’t going to be cheap. The air conditioner would cool for a brief period, and then shut off. While it was running, in a rather short period of time, a very considerable amount of water would be discharged from the air handler. He took all this to be a bad sign.

When we arrived at his home the first thing I checked was to see how old his air conditioner was, as I recalled we had installed it too recently for it’s age to be a major part of the problem. We had installed the unit in 2008, which was a good sign, in all likelihood the a/c was not going to need replacing.

An air conditioner is an amalgamation of different parts, components, and elements … when one piece goes awry it often affects the entire system as a whole!

 

It turned out, the problem was a relatively minor one … the drain pipe that removes the moisture from the air conditioner to the outside of the home had become clogged with slime and sludge (the end result of decomposing vegetative growth within the air conditioners individual components), when the drain became full it raised a float valve inside the drain safety switch, which automatically shuts down the air conditioner electronically to prevent a minor flood or water damage.

 

Sludge blocked this drain line up and caused the safety switch to shut the air conditioner down repeatedly. The home owner thought they were in for a costly repair, but, once the drain was clear, the a/c continued working like a champ!

Community Cooling prides itself in putting the clients needs first, we strive to get your a/c working …

without breaking your budget!

 

We opened the drain line, flushed it out with a hose, and put the line back together … simple.  The air conditioners problem was solved, without intensive labor or expensive parts. The home owner was very relieved, and we were happy to be in a position to provide some good news.

Getting The Most From Your Air Conditioning Unit

Air Conditioning Service Ft Myers

Florida air conditioning units work hard … REAL HARD!!!

Air conditioning units work longer and harder in in Fort Myers than most area’s of the world. The sub tropical heat and humidity make it necessary for them to work longer days and for a greater percentage of the year than is necessary in other regions. SW Florida’s typically high humidity creates a tremendous amount of moisture in our homes and businesses that needs to be removed to achieve optimum comfort. With this in mind it isn’t surprising that many air conditioning units can start becoming problematic after 6 or 7 years … or even fewer. On the other hand, however, some air conditioners will last for up to 20 years or even longer. With the cost of A/C equipment and installation being relatively high it is obviously in the consumers best interest to keep their equipment running as long and as efficiently as possible!

The only way to get maximum value from your air conditioner is

to maintain it regularly!

So why does one air conditioner become problematic after 6 years while the one next door keeps running and running, avoiding the need for replacement year after year? Many homeowners mistakenly place the blame on the specific manufacturer of the equipment … and this is largely inaccurate. HVAC equipment must be built to certain specifications and conform to industry standards. A manufacturer that didn’t comply to these standards would not last long in an industry as competitive as the HVAC industry. It could be said that the quality of workmanship that goes into installing the air conditioner in your home, office, or building has much to do with the overall longevity of the equipment. There are companies that take shortcuts to improve their overall profit margin, however, often times those shortcuts make themselves obvious even earlier than normal wear and tear and create problems within a year or two of installation. That being said improper installation can and will reduce the number of years of service you can expect from your equipment, but, falls short of being the number one factor in A/C longevity. The real secret to getting as many years as possible out of your air conditioning equipment is …

TO HAVE IT SERVICED REGULARLY BY A LICENSED AIR CONDITIONING CONTRACTOR!

An air conditioning contractor knows what to look for and can eliminate small problems and sources of trouble before they have a chance to escalate and slowly grind away at your a/c equipment. Little things like corrosion, an unbalanced fan motor, or low levels of coolant have the potential to diminish the life expectancy considerably! Additionally, through inspecting your equipment and making necessary corrections in a timely manner you can expect to experience the optimal amount of comfort while paying a minimal amount of money for the cost of the electricity to run your equipment.
