Air Central installers receive extensive training in the installation and
care of your air conditioning equipment.
If your air conditioner and furnace are more than 12 years old, you
might consider replacing them with more energy efficient models.
New systems can save up to 50% in energy costs and save replace
your old system.
Air Conditioners run on the same basic principle as your
refrigerator. You will find a compressor, expansion valve, a coil, a
couple of fans and a control unit. Cool Freon is compressed
causing it to become hot gas which is run through coils. The coils
and a fan help dissipate the heat condensing the Freon into a liquid.
The Freon liquid is run through an expansion valve evaporating the
Freon turning it into a cold gas. The cold gas is run through another
set of coils allowing it to absorb heat and another fan cools down
A BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of
one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. One ton equals 12,000
BTU. The energy efficiency rating (SEER) of an air conditioner is
its BTU rating over its wattage. If a 13,000 BTU air conditioner
consumes 1,200 watts, its SEER is 10.8 (13,000 BTU/1,200
The higher the SEER rating the more the efficiency of the air
conditioning unit which will be reflected by a higher price.
