Air Conditioning Basics

The four main components to your air conditioner are:

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.

All of these pieces are connected by a copper tube that handles refrigerant, creating a closed loop. Heat is collected in the evaporator, sent outside to the condenser. The heat is removed, and the cool air is recirculated back into your home.

AC Facts

An Air Conditioner Doesn’t Create Cool Air.
What happens in the AC process is actually 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.

Your 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.

Your Air Filter Needs To Be Checked And Replaced Every Three To Six Months.
(depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations)
A dirty air filter restricts your air flow, 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 over all.

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.

At Reliance Heating and Air Conditioning, we provide all the services you need to keep your AC running in top-notch shape. Call us at 602-944-9585 for repairs, maintenance, or new-system installation.

Air Conditioner Repair in Phoenix, AZ, AZ 85086

“From the very first phone call to the completion of the work, the staff was professionally and courteous. It was nice knowing that our A/C repair was completed by certified TRANE technicians. I would highly recommend RELIANCE HEATING & AIR CONDITION to everyone I know… thank you!!!”

Air Conditioner Replacement in Carefree, AZ, 85331

“Brayden came out to check our 3 year old Goodman A/C unit that was not cooling the house. After diagnosis he found a bad outside coil that was leaking refrigerant. The unit was still under warranty, but no parts were available. Brayden checked multiple sources for the parts and then gave us several options for repair. Unfortunately, we decided the best solution was to replace the whole HVAC system. Kevin ,Roberto, and Eliseo came to install our new Trane system. They did a very professional, neat, and clean installation. System is working great. This is the second time we have used Reliance for our HVAC needs and based on their service and professionalism, we will use them in the future! Thanks for a great job!”
