A/C Terms & Tips
How
often should filters be cleaned or replaced?
Typically, filters should be cleaned or replaced once a month. Some units
are equipped with permanent filters. Disposable filters should be replaced
with filters of the same type and size as the original filter.
What
do rating numbers mean?
The U.S. government requires an efficiency rating of all air conditioning
and heating equipment. The rating reflects the percentage of energy used
efficiently, with a high rating indicating high-efficiency.
What
is a SEER?
There are special names for the efficiency ratings of various types of
equipment. Air conditioning equipment is rated by the Seasonal Energy
Efficiency Rating, or SEER. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient
the unit.
Should a thermostat be set to "AUTO" or "'ON"?
In most cases
in should be placed in the
auto position. That way, the fan operates only when the temperature
requires it. (This is the most used and the most efficient setting.) There
are advantages to using the "on" setting. Air is constantly filtered
through the unit's air filter and the constantly circulating air results
in an even temperature throughout the house.
Can
shrubs or flowers be planted around an outdoor unit?
Yes.
However, we recommend that plants be no closer than 24 inches to the unit.
This allows for plenty of room for air circulation in and out of the unit.
Without this room for air circulation, the unit could overheat, resulting
in a premature need for service.
What
is the difference between a split system and a package unit?
A split
system uses indoor and outdoor components to provide a complete home
comfort system. A package unit or self-contained unit requires no external
coils, air handlers, or heating units.
