Air Conditioning Basics

The four main components to your air conditioner are:

Condenser

The condenser is the outside metal unit and where the gas from the compressor is condensed into a liquid. The gas entering the condenser is very hot. The temperature is then lowered, so the gas can convert back to a liquid.

Compressor

The compressor is inside the condenser. It circulates the pressurized refrigerant, to concentrate the heat, and changes the low pressure gas to high pressure.

Evaporator

The evaporator is the part of the system inside the home. In simple language, it absorbs the heat from your home.

Expansion Valve

The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant in your system.

All of these pieces are connected by a copper tube that handles refrigerant, creating a closed loop. Heat is collected in the evaporator, sent outside to the condenser. The heat is removed, and the cool air is recirculated back into your home.

If your AC unit is having problems, contact Airclaws for air conditioner repair in Athens, OH or the Athens County area.

AC Facts

An Air Conditioner Doesn’t Create Cool Air.
What happens in the AC process is actually the removal of heat from the air. Your AC uses a chemical called refrigerant to remove heat and transfer it outside. The warm air runs through the lines and coils in your unit and goes from liquid to gas and back again. During this process, the refrigerant removes the heat and transfers it elsewhere so that when the air comes out the other side, it is cool.

Your AC Will Remove Humidity.
Lower humidity helps the overall comfort level and indoor air quality (IAQ) in your home by making you feel cooler, even if the temperature is the same.

Your Air Filter Needs To Be Checked And Replaced Every Three To Six Months.
(depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations)
A dirty air filter restricts your air flow, which reduces efficiency, costing you money, and over time can put stress on your unit and could cause a costly repair.

Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance.
Your air conditioner needs regular checkups to keep it running in tip-top shape. Having regular annual preventative maintenance will bring your system longer life and fewer breakdowns over all.

SEER
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures air conditioning and heat pump cooling efficiency, which is calculated by the cooling output for a typical cooling season divided by the total electric energy input during the same time frame. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency.

Air Conditioner Maintenance in Crooksville, OH 43731

“He was prompt, polite, honest and knowledgeable. We appreciate how he walked us through the maintenance of our system so we understood any issues.”

Air Conditioner Maintenance in Albany, OH 45710

“What started out as a simple disconnect and reconnect of our AC and Furnace, turned out to be a snowball effect of repairs. Airclaws was our saving grace during this time! We had drainage added to our basement. After the repair, Airclaws recommended a company for us to have the airducts cleaned of concrete debris. When Floor and More began vacuuming the airducts, mouse pee was discovered. I called Airclaws, and Kyle came back out to access the situation, and it was not good. We discussed several options to fix the problem. Ultimately, Kyle helped us come up with a solution that would not cost our arm and leg. He was patient, kind, thoroughly explained the process, and walked us through the repairs before, during, and after. Don, came the final day and a half to help with the repairs. Both men were very professional, answered ALL of my questions, and successfully repaired our air ducts. Soon, fresh cold air was blowing throughout the house! Thank you, Kyle, who was there from the very beginning and Don, who came in to help at the end! We will definitely use this team again!”
