Problems Associated With Air Conditioner Installation Edwardsville

By Robyn Lindsey


In a bid to archive maximum energy utility in a home a key aspect worth noting is the setting up of a heating ventilation and air conditioning unit. Hiring a highly skilled specialist should also be the centre of focus because a poor air conditioner installation Edwardsville will have energy losses. This energy loss causes the consumer to amass even more financial losses rather than make a saving out of it.

The system is made up of various components such as ducts, vents, fan, heat pump, furnace and a condensing unit. Air passes through these components which have been set up accordingly to give the desired result. They regulate the temperature, humidity and the general air quality. Air is circulated through and around these devices.

During a cold weather a Heat pump is used to warm the house. A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one location to another. It has a boiler system which generates the heat. Cable ducts are connected to the boilers. The cables then run through all rooms along the walls and the ceiling board. Hot water will flow through distributing the heat.

Cooling the house is made possible by the evaporator unit. Heat is absorbed at this point. Freon, a highly volatile liquid is pumped through this system. It absorbs heat from the warm air blowing through it and it changes to a gaseous state through latent heat of evaporation mechanism. It has fins whose surface enables rapid heat absorption. The net result is the generation of cool air.

Air conditioning can either be natural or forced. Natural AC is usually determined during the design stage of a house. Large windows should not be overlooked in design. In addition to that, there should be ventilation vents at foot height of that house. Forced air conditioning done by using mechanical systems such as fans which mix warm and cold parts of an air system.

A person can Largely benefit from installing such a system in his home. First it ensures maximum energy utility. The energy is transferred from one component to the other during heating and cooling thus negligible energy losses in real sense is experienced. Living in a stuffy environment can also be depressing, therefore it also creates a conducive environment for relaxing.

Despite the advantages the is a number of disadvantages, notably the cost of purchasing and installing all the components. Not only can a few people purchase the ductless system but also the installation requires highly skilled specialist. These specialists are few and consequently, they are expensive to hire.

Poorly designed and setting up of the system has a negative impact on its energy saving capabilities. This has a direct impact on the comfort levels of the occupants. Some components such as ducts can prove tragic when they are poorly laid, some accidents have been reported of people sustaining first degree burns due to bursting of the hot water ducts. Caution!
