Does Air Conditioning Work Better in Houses with Or Without Sealed Walls?
Many large commercial refrigerators specify small ceiling vents. The theory being that with each door opening a considerable volume of cold air "spills" out. The replacement ambient air is warmer and moist. At least some portion of the warmer air is ejected by door closing. The vent also breaks vacuum in otherwise airtight cabinets. Air always enters a structure by infiltration. This is desirable for ventilation and moisture elimination. Stratification due to temperature difference is substantial. Attics can heat up to 40-50F higher than living spaces. This heat conducts through floors and walls. With proper venting; the attic shouldnot exceed ambient temperature. The losses due to attic venting are negligible in comparison with the benefit.
1. The air conditioning, fan, and heat have stopped working...?
You need to find out if....when the engine is running, and the Air Conditioning is turned on...take a look at the compressor. That is the big round thing that is attached to the engine. You should see the belt moving around, duh, the engine is running, but what is important is you should also see the middle of the A/C clutch moving at the same speed as the belt. IF it is not turning at all, chances are that you have lost some of your freon to the point that the compressor wo not engage. If the compressor is engaging, then it is more likely that what you are talking about is replacing the fan motor. These can get expensive....thank Chrysler for that one. Good luck
2. 5 Air Conditioning Maintenance Tips for Pet Owners
Few things are as fun and fulfilling as being a pet owner, but when we have furry friends taking comfort in our domiciles, we have to be a little extra vigilant when it comes to maintenance around the home. For instance, did you know having a pet affects your air conditioner and how it operates? It's true! Today, we are going to pass along some helpful tips for pet owners to keep in mind so their air conditioners work properly at all times. Here in Florida, air conditioning is vital to a comfortable home. For air conditioner maintenance in Titusville, call Altman's Cooling & Heating today! No matter what type of four-legged, fuzzy companion you have, keeping them groomed is incredibly important when it comes to your air conditioner. When you regularly groom your pet, you can minimize the amount of fur that is put into the air. That hair will get sucked into your air conditioner, get clogged up in your system, and cause it to work harder and shorten its lifespan. Additionally, this will help cut down how much dander, dust, and pollen are in the air, which can cause severe pet allergies. Make sure you are vacuuming regularly as well, as that will catch what they may have shed in between trips to the groomer. Your air filters are just as important to your air conditioner as a filter is to your car. It catches all of the particles that are floating through your air and prevents them from being cycled through. Because most pets are notorious for shedding, your air filter may get clogged up faster than normal. Check it regularly, clean or replace it when necessary, and you will keep your air clean and clear. The next time you need to replace your air filter, it's a good idea to consider going with a HEPA filter. HEPA filters, (which stands for high-efficiency particulate air) help to reduce the amount of allergens and particulates in your house's air supply by as much as 99.7 percent. The way it works is the filter grabs the microscopic dander, hair, or other particle, and locks it in so it can not go back through your air conditioner while it runs. This is especially a good idea for households with allergy problems. The previous tips were focused on what happens inside your home, but if you know anything about air conditioners, you know that's only half of the story. Your air conditioner will have an outdoor condenser unit that helps it operate. It's important that you train your pet not to go near the outdoor unit to keep them safe in the event a refrigerant leak occurs or they get caught in the fans. We recommend building a small fence around the outdoor unit to keep your pets out. All air conditioners, regardless of the pet situation, need to be maintained on a regular basis to keep them running properly. Many HVAC companies offer maintenance plans to ensure you are always on the schedule, so you do not have to worry about it. Do you want to make sure your air conditioner is working properly?
