What To Learn About Air Conditioner Installation Edwardsville

By Robyn Lindsey


When making considerations about energy efficiency, a key aspect when setting up a new home is the type of heating ventilation and air conditioning system to install. Equally important to put into perspective is the air conditioning specialist being charged to accomplish the task. This is because its operating efficiency largely depends on the accuracy of air conditioner installation Edwardsville.

The unit is composed of various components. The main parts include; a heating furnace, pipes, ducts, vents, fan, heat pump and a cooling unit. Each of the unit is set up depending on the output needed, and air is driven with a powered pump to pass through the system. They determine the temperature moisture content and general air grade.

A heat pump is used to raise the air temperature of a room. It functions to transfer warm air from one location to another while removing the cold air from that point. A boiler in the unit is used to generate the heat. Water is the medium of heat transfer in the boiler. Pipes are connected to the boiler which are used to channel hot water to and away from the system. The pipes are channeled through the ceiling board to distribute heat in the house.

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 is described as either natural or forced driven. Natural air conditioning is obtained by the use of ventilation systems. In designing a house consideration should be done. Large windows should be preferred to allow free flow of air. Indoor fans are used to facilitate forced conditioning. It mixes cold and warm parts of air alike and as a result create a cool environment.

The advantages of a system installed to a home are not limited to heating and cooling only. It conserves energy. Energy is not lost in the system as the heat dissipated is stored and later used for heating. The system also has thermostat which has a self-adjusting capability in relation to the weather of the day. This increases the comfort level to the occupants.

Its demerits however are its high cost. Purchasing the entire system is very expensive thereby limiting the number of people who can actually buy it. Putting maintenance cost into considerations, and the hiring of the skilled manpower to install it may lead many to consider it a luxury they can forego.

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!
