FAQ

• What temperature of the air should my AC produce?

  The temperature of the air that your system produces depends on the temperature of the air going in. The air produced should be 18 to 20 degrees lower than what enters the system. Thus, if the air entering the system is 70°, the air exiting should be about 50°-52°. This only works if the system has been on and running for at least 15 minutes. On a mild day, the air coming out could be 15°-17° cooler than what enters.
  

• What maintenance can I do for my air conditioner?

  The most important maintenance that you can do is to change your filters regularly. Outdoor units that that are mounted to the ground should be clear of clutter and debris. Pets should be kept away from the unit because pet urine can cause costly damage to the unit. Also, be careful with a weed trimmer as you can damage control wiring. Only qualified staff should do any other maintenance on your air conditioner.
  

• What size HVAC system is right for my home?

  There are several factors that need to be considered when choosing the size of HVAC for your space. Some of them are the height of the ceiling, size of the window, placement of the window. There are dozens of other variables that have to be taken into consideration when choosing a proper size for a heating and/or cooling system. A professional load calculation is a must for an effective system.
  

• What is meant by a 'ton' of refrigeration?

  Confusingly, the unit has little to do with weight, as used in everyday language. One ton of refrigeration is the term used to refer to 12,000 B.T.U.s/hour (British Thermal Units/Hour) of cooling effect. Thus, a condensing unit with a cooling capacity of 60,000 B.T.U.s/hour is said to have a capacity of 5 tons.
