The air conditioning
unit is one of the most important components of your HVAC system and
here are some facts that you probably did not know.
Turning off your AC for
a long period will cause it to work harder the moment you turn it on.
Therefore, when you're going on a vacation for a week or two, you can
leave your AC on. However, make sure that it is networked with a
programmable thermostat set to a low temperature that shuts if off
and turns it on when necessary.
The ducts play a huge
role in maintaining the cool in your home. These are the conduits
that run throughout the house within the ceiling, which convey the
cold air produced by your AC. If they are made of metal, chances are
the cool will be absorbed and transferred through the ducts rather
than into the house. Thus, you need them wrapped with insulation.
An old filter that has
accumulated dust and grime does not only block cool air from being
blown into your house, but also can cause respiratory illnesses. One
clue that you need to replace your AC filter is when the members of
your family start coughing. Dust and other harmful particles are now
mixed with the air.
