Modern air conditioning systems are pretty complex devices which consists of four primary pieces. The first of these is the external condensing unit which holds a compressor, also known as a condenser, a cooling coil, fan and some electronic circuitry. The second primary piece is the interior console which is typically the furnace, air exchange system and blower system. The third critical piece of the modern central air system is the thermostat. In most new systems this device is electronic and in certain cases will contain a remote control for easier access. The final components of your Air Condition Muskegon is the ventilation ducts. These are usually located in the basement or attic of the house depending on the home’s construction.
Air Condition Muskegon works by circulating a refrigerant through a series of coils, usually two, although extremely large units may require more. The external condensing unit compresses the coolant and pumps it through the interior A/C unit. The coils inside this cabinet will pick up any residual heat in the area and circulate it back outside where it is released through the outside coil. As this cycle continues, the blower system circulates the cooler air left behind and draws any warmer air inside the home towards the interior unit.
Given the right maintenance and proper cleaning your central heating and air conditioning system will last for many years. In most cases an experienced contractor like Refrigeration Heating & Cooling will test the system thoroughly including electronic components. One of these tests will include the level of refrigerant in the system. A/C refrigerant must be charged at a specific level to cool properly and it must not be overcharged or the condenser can’t move the coolant properly.
One of the more important aspects of maintenance is the cleaning of the components. The internal air exchange coil or evaporator coil will sweat during use allowing dust and debris to accumulate over time. Once this dirt builds up the coil isn’t as effective as it should be. To combat this problem the contractor will remove the coil and wash it in an acid bath. Another component that can collect dirt is the squirrel cage on the blower motor. This fan should be thoroughly cleaned with a wire brush to ensure proper airflow.
