How Does My Air Conditioner Work?
By now you’ve probably seen and heard the big box in your back or side yard working hard during the warm summer months. But what is actually happening in there? Essentially, your air conditioning unit works the same as your refrigerator. Inside of your air conditioning unit is a gas called refrigerant, sometimes known as Freon. The compressor of the air conditioning system compresses the refrigerant gas, causing the refrigerant to become hot and under pressure. The hot gas moves through the condenser coils and dissipates the heat. The dissipating heat cools the refrigerant gas into a liquid. Once the refrigerant gas is a liquid it is cold and at a low-pressure and a fan propels the cold air through the home.
How Can I Make My Air Conditioner More Efficient?
With energy costs rising there is no better time to improve the energy-efficiency of your air conditioning unit. Some basic tips for helping do this are:
- Have the air filters of your air conditioning unit replaced every three months during the hot weather
- Call R. Poust, Inc. to have your air conditioner professionally serviced on an annually basis
- Have your home’s air ducts regularly cleaned of all debris and blockages
- Use ceiling fans to thoroughly circulate cooled air
- Use blinds and shades on windows to block the heat and UV rays from the sun
