Las Vegas Air Conditioning Replacement: Understanding the Basics

The four main components of your air conditioner include: 

• 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.

Each of these pieces is then connected by a copper tube that handles HVAC refrigerant, creating a closed-loop. Heat is collected in the evaporator, and sent outside to the condenser. The heat is removed, and the cool air is recirculated back into your home. If multiple elements of your air conditioner have become compromised, A/C replacement might be the best choice.

Las Vegas A/C Replacement: Important Facts to Know Before Replacing a System

An Air Conditioner Doesn’t Create Cool Air.

What happens in the AC process is 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.

A Functional AC Will Remove Humidity.

Lower humidity helps the overall comfort level in your home by making you feel cooler, even if the temperature is the same.

Air Filters Needs To Be Checked & Replaced Every Three To Six Months.

Depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations, air filters need to be replaced a few times each year. A dirty air filter restricts your airflow, 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 overall.

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.

Signs You Might Need an A/C Replacement

• Energy Bill Increase

How Much Money Can Be Saved with a Home A/C Replacement

The age-old question when confronting an issue with your home A/C system is if you should choose to repair or replace the system. The solution lies in preventative maintenance. If you’re able to confirm that the system has received the proper tune-ups and issues seem to have quick and affordable solutions, a repair is the best choice. However, if your air conditioning system is old, worn down, and seems to have numerous needed repairs, a replacement might be the most affordable option.
