1. Are there any hot/cold spots in the home?
Uneven temperatures in your home can be an indication of improperly sized equipment and/or an issue with the duct work.
2. Are you using any supplementary cooling units such as fans or portable air conditioners to stay cool during the hottest temperatures?
Window units are typically very inefficient and can be a huge energy waster. If you have whole house air conditioning but have to supplement with window units and/or fans to stay cool you likely have an issue with the equipment sizing and/or with the duct work.
3. Using a portable humidistat, what’s the humidity level in your home during the summer months?
If you are reading more than 35% to 45% humidity your air conditioner may be improperly sized.
4. How often does my air conditioner run in the summer?
A unit that is continuously running is unable to satisfy the thermostat. That could mean that the equipment is sized incorrectly but it could also mean that the unit needs to be cleaned and/or repaired.
5. How much does an air conditioner installation cost?
The cost to install a new air conditioner varies widely depending on the specific considerations in every application. Our prices are competitive and will also be provided using up-front, flat rate pricing so that there are never any costly surprises.
Air conditioners and heat pumps work as part of a system to remove the humidity from your home to create the desired indoor comfort. Units that are too large or too small will waste electricity without ever allowing the homeowner to reach their desired level of comfort. The expertly trained Consultants and Service Technicians at Wahl will custom design your air conditioning system to be the right size for your home to ensure that you achieve maximum energy efficiency and comfort.
Air conditioners are part of a closed refrigeration system that connects to an indoor coil through wiring and copper refrigeration tubing and works in conjunction with the blower of the indoor unit and the ductwork. During the system design and installation process, it is crucial that all of the pieces of the system are matched to work properly with one another. If any of the pieces are the wrong size the system won’t function properly or efficiently. During our design process, our Consultants and Technicians complete a thorough evaluation that includes inspecting each component to ensure a proper match.
To avoid air conditioner breakdowns and to extend the lifespan of your equipment proper airflow is crucial. There are many factors to consider for airflow including duct sizing, outdoor unit placement, as well as the position and size of the coil in relation to the indoor blower.
When air conditioners are installed there are steps that need to be taken in order to ensure the proper operation of the system. One such step is connecting the copper lines, or line-set, from the indoor evaporator coil to the outdoor condenser through a process called brazing. If this step is done properly moisture and other contaminants are removed from the system. If the process is done improperly, additional moisture and contaminants end up inside of the system causing acid buildup that eats away at the compressor windings, reversing valves, and other internal components causing breakdowns, costly repairs, and shortening the life-span of the equipment. During the installation process, our installers prevent contaminants from getting into the system by running dry nitrogen through the refrigeration lines while brazing. Dry nitrogen acts as a sponge for moisture and displaces oxygen in the lines during brazing to prevent copper/black oxide forming inside the lines. This process is fundamental for a proper HVAC installation; however, many companies skip this vital step.
