Air conditioning systems are such a standard part of life during the summer\u2014especially in a place that grows as hot as the Central Valley\u2014that it\u2019s easy to take them for granted. This is one of the reasons that there are so many myths and misunderstandings about air conditioners that continue to spread. Below are three common ones we wish to dispel:<\/p>\n
A ventilation system made of ducts is a key part of how central air conditioning operates in many homes. However, thanks to ductless mini split systems, ductwork is not essential. If you live in an older home that lacks space for ducts, you don\u2019t have to depend on an inefficient series of window units for comfort. Instead, you can call professionals to install a ductless mini split system. These systems are also excellent for new home construction and add-on rooms.<\/p>\n
This is one of the ways that homeowners frequently end up wasting money on air conditioning over the summer. Dropping the thermostat down to the lowest possible setting will not make the air conditioner work faster<\/em>, it will only make it keep the compressor running longer<\/em> to reach the set temperature, which is a large energy drain that will result in a home that\u2019s too cold. It is far better, both for your comfort and your utility bills, to find a comfortable mid-range temperature and stick with it.<\/p>\n Like any mechanical device that does a large amount of work, an air conditioning system must have routine maintenance to keep it in the best shape possible, for the longest time possible. When you consider how much your home\u2019s AC runs during a summer, you\u2019ll realize that it takes more than a maintenance visit every couple of years to prevent it from rapidly wearing down. You should schedule maintenance annually, preferably during the spring, to help ensure that your cooling system reaches its full potential lifespan and experiences few repair issues or efficiency problems.<\/p>\n Purl\u2019s Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning is here to help you care for your home\u2019s air conditioning system.
