Indoor Air Pollutants – The Unwanted and Sometimes Harmful Risk Factors to Arizona Living; Your Arizona Guide to In-Home High Efficiency Air Purification

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in AC Installation, Air Conditioning, Cooling Tips.

American Cooling and Heating offers Arizona residents up-to-date details on current and emerging air conditioning technology, heat management and high efficiency air purification products.

Face it. Anywhere near Phoenix AZ makes for a great place to live. Yet every home endures a certain amount of unwanted, indoor air pollutants. In fact, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ranks indoor air pollution as one of the top five environmental health risks faced by U.S. citizens.

Indoor air pollution builds up via in-home activities such as cooking, cleaning and even indoor remodeling projects. To eliminate the associated risk factors, an Arizona homeowner should attempt to replace the polluted indoor air with clean outdoor air. However, ventilation systems are occasionally rendered inefficient due to unfavorable weather conditions or extreme accumulations of contaminants in the outdoor air.

At times, homeowners must embrace alternative air cleaning methods. The wise residents of Scottsdale AZ are known for making use of indoor air cleaning devices. They use the high efficiency models of air purification products that attach to your home furnace or air handler system. This provides a whole-house solution that works by removing or destroying air contaminants before they are recycled back into your home air supply.

When seeking a quality air cleaning system, don’t class portable room air cleaners in the same category as high efficiency air purification products.

Portable units are designed for single room service. High Efficiency Air Purification Products are designed for whole-home air cleaning. If a standard ventilation system is letting you down, equip your air conditioning unit with a high efficiency air purification product that provides a whole-house solution.

Types of High Efficiency Air Purification Products

You might think that the removal of indoor air pollution from your air-conditioning system is a single-point process. However, the air cleaning market provides several options with each designed to remove certain types of pollutants, including: 

  • Particle Removal
  • Gaseous Pollutant Removal
  • Pollutant Destruction.
  • Mechanical
  • Electronic
  • Ultraviolet (UV) Light Technology

Particle removal systems use mechanical air filters and/or electronic air cleaners. Mechanical filters capture pollution particles on air filter materials. Electronic air cleaning systems use electrostatic precipitators to charge and trap air pollution particles on an oppositely charged collector plate. Electronic ion generators force airborne particles to bond and settle faster, thus clearing the air much quicker than normal.

Gas-phase air filters use “sorbent” materials such as activated carbon to absorb the air pollutants. Gas-phase filters are typically pollutant specific. They are limited in scope and the number of gaseous pollutants that can be handled.

Ultraviolet (UV) light technology actually destroys the pollutants that can contaminate your Arizona home. Typically called ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) units, these air cleaners are capable of eliminating allergens, bacteria, molds and viruses. UVGI units are intended to supplement rather than replace your HVAC filtration system.

Arizona Air Conditioning Service Shares Tips On How To Protect Your Air Conditioner Through The Summer Months.

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in AC Repair, AC Service, Air Conditioning, Cooling Tips, Maintenance.

Arizona Air-Conditioning service provider American Cooling and Heating provides these easy tips that could potentially save your A/C Unit during the Summer months.

When you come home after a long Arizona summer day, there is nothing better than walking into a cool, comfortable home to relax. Coming home to a broken air conditioner, on the other hand, can be quite upsetting. For this reason, it’s essential to make sure that your air conditioning unit is functioning properly during these hot summer months and why AC System maintenance is of utmost importance. Our air conditioning specialists offer these helpful tips about air conditioning options that can eliminate dust and dirt from your air conditioner, as well as offer the required maintenance on your AC to keep you in the cool and comfortable.

American Cooling and Heating’s AC Services Tips:

One of the easiest air conditioning options is to be sure that you use a high quality air filter. Air filter replacement is the most commonly needed air conditioning maintenance service. Replacing the air filter monthly protects the mechanical components of your air conditioning system from dirty buildup. A dirty air filter also can impede airflow and force your air conditioning system to work harder and less efficiently to cool your home. A poorly maintained AC System may fail due to abnormal wear and tear. Dirt and dust buildup may cause you to need an air conditioner repair visit or may lead to expensive parts failures or AC Unit replacement. Our air conditioning specialists determine the condition of your AC System and thoroughly maintain it to help preserve comfort to your Arizona home.

There are many important reasons for having Heating and Air Conditioning System Maintenance performed.

1. Abnormal Wear And Tear

Abnormal wear and tear can occur due to a lack of maintenance; this in turn can cause damage to important system components and cause premature failure of those components. Technicians performing routine maintenance can keep your unit running as it was designed to.

2. Equipment Efficiency

Cleaning and tune up can dramatically affect system performance. A properly maintained system will have more capacity to perform its work when needed and at a reduced operating cost. The savings you gain by having periodic maintenance performed can help make up for the cost of the maintenance itself.

3. Equipment longevity

Regular maintenance can also substantially extend the life of your home heating system. And this is true no matter what type of Heating and Air Conditioning System it may be, by keeping heat exchangers clean and free of debris and by changing defective parts promptly.

4. Inconvenience

Heating and Air Conditioning Systems can fail due to a lack of maintenance and this typically happens when you need to depend on the system working. This can cause something as minor as inconvenience or can put people with health related problems at great risk.

If your system is past its prime or even if it’s brand new take advantage of the energy efficiency gains made and avoid costs of premature failures by having maintenance performed annually. A licensed HVAC Contractor can visit your home and evaluate your Heating and Air Conditioning System and advise you of its condition. Here are some of the key items that should be checked annually:

  • Check overall condition and health of entire system
  • Check and clean condenser coil
  • Check and clean evaporator coil
  • Check condensate drain
  • Check drain pan
  • Check the air filter
  • Check all electrical components
  • Check refrigerant pressure for proper charge
  • Check voltage and amperage
  • Check temperature split on evaporator
  • Check temperature split on condenser
  • Check super heat and sub cooling

By following these best practices used in the HVAC industry you may lengthen the life of your existing Air Conditioning System as well as conserve energy and lower your utility bills.

AC Repair In Arizona, A Countermeasure To Combat The Hot Weather And Preserve Your Indoor Comfort

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in Air Conditioning, Cooling Tips.

Hot AZ Weather

 

 

 

 

Air conditioning repair is an especially critical issue for homeowners in Arizona, where temperatures routinely exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer. A prolonged cooling system outage can be avoided by performing routine maintenance on an air conditioner. Air conditioning service typically requires a professional repair technician to clean parts of the system, lubricate bearings, and possibly replace a broken part.

Hot Arizona Weather

The hot Arizona weather makes air conditioning particularly important to homeowners. A high-pressure ridge over Arizona causes temperatures that are significantly higher than those in the surrounding area, according to the National Weather Service. The average daily high in Phoenix normally reaches 95 degrees Fahrenheit by mid-May. However, the weather in Arizona has been unusually warm during 2012. The temperature in Phoenix reached 105 degrees Fahrenheit on April 22, 2012. This trend is expected to continue and the high temperatures in Arizona should routinely exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the coming summer. Therefore needed AC repairs in AZ should be made as quickly as possible during the summer.

Air Conditioning Repair 

An air conditioner contains many parts that may require repair or replacement. Bad wiring is a common problem and is usually caused by a bad connection, electrical supply issues, ordinary wear or animals chewing through the insulation. A central air-conditioning unit typically has two fan motors, one for the indoor unit and one for the outdoor unit. Fan motors usually stop working due to normal wear, and they typically must be replaced rather than repaired. Additional parts on air conditioners that may require replacement due to wear include the thermostat, capacitors, compressors and condensers.

Air Conditioning Maintenance

Routine maintenance on an air conditioner can delay or prevent professional AC service. The air filter on an air conditioner accumulates dirt over time, and it will eventually become clogged. This will cause an air conditioner to run almost constantly and have difficulty keeping the home at the desired temperature. Check the air conditioner’s filter each month and replace it every one to three months.

Often found are other objects blocking the air intake to the outside air conditioning unit. This typically includes overgrown shrubs, leaves and grass. Ensure that the intake is clear to provide the air conditioner with an adequate supply of air. A check for accumulated water around the air conditioner should be made. The presence of water can indicate a clogged drain that a repair technician will need to flush or repair.
