A residential HVAC unit is a piece of equipment that you install in your homes to maintain indoor temperature
Residential HVAC systems usually consist of two separate units. One is the indoor evaporator, and the other is the outer compressor. Residential HVAC units have a closed-loop refrigerant system. This refrigerant is the force that provides conditioned air inside your home by continuously circulating between the evaporator and condenser.
Heating and cooling to maintain appropriate conditioning of indoor air consume a large portion of building energy use. Installing the right size equipment to heat and cool homes is essential to getting the best performance and comfort and reducing inefficiencies. A system that is too large will not keep the building comfortable because of frequent ‘on/off’ cycling. Incorrect sizing can also put stress on system components, shorten the equipment’s life, and lead to wasted energy and money. To ensure proper sizing, we provide our clients a copy of the home’s heat gain/loss calculations reports
HVAC systems need to be properly sized to optimize occupant comfort even amid the harshest outdoor conditions. If a unit is oversized, energy costs may increase and the home may experience high temperature swings during milder weather. Oversizing also increases the equipment’s initial cost, savings better spent on purchasing more efficient equipment. Determining the proper size for the HVAC system requires estimating heat loss (known as the design heat load) through the roof, walls, windows, basement, and other home components bordering unfavorable outdoor weather conditions. The system size is then matched to the design heat load. For many combustion appliances, the size of the unit selected will be 10 to 30 percent above design heat load. This oversizing allows the unit to recover quickly from night setback.

Signs Your Air Conditioner Unit Needs to service
A variety of signs can point to the fact that your system requires replacement, including:
Utility bills are much higher than usual: When AC equipment is no longer functioning at optimum efficiency, it has to work harder, using more energy to produce the normal amount of cooling you’ve come to expect. If you’ve examined recent utility statements and find them bigger than usual, it can be an indication of a failing air conditioner.
Strange sounds: The normal whirring of the motor or sound of air moving through ducting isn’t a cause for concern. If you detect loud noises, screeching, or buzzing sounds, it’s time to bring in an HVAC professional to inspect and diagnose the system.
System keeps cycling on and off: This phenomenon is also known as “short cycling.” It can be an indication that the AC equipment is struggling to maintain the correct temperature in your home.
If your family smells something bad coming out of the air conditioner, it can be a cause for concern. Moisture buildup from a leak can lead to microbes growing. Bring in an HVAC professional to see if your system needs replacement.
Something has gone wrong. It might be an issue with the thermostat being set incorrectly or turned to heating mode instead of cooling. However, if the system takes more than five minutes to start delivering conditioned air, call us to have a technician inspect it.
Should I Replace or Repair My Air Conditioner?
Prudent homeowners with an eye on their budget will want to double-check if it’s better to repair their air conditioner or to replace it. Issues to consider:
Age of The System
Typically, an air conditioner provides useful service for as many as 15 years. If the previous owner of your home installed it more than a decade ago, it’s likely time to put in a new system. This is especially true if you don’t have a clear idea of how the previous owner maintained or repaired the equipment.
Time to “Go Green”
Families who are concerned about their carbon footprint will want to install a new system, since it will be far more efficient than an aging air conditioner. Using less energy means fewer resources are required.
Compare the Estimated Cost of Repairs to the Installation Savings
While it costs more to install a new replacement AC system, you also have to take into account the total cost of ownership. If your monthly cooling bills will decline, thanks to a new, more efficient air conditioner, that should figure into your budget and decision-making process. Plus, you have to anticipate more repair bills in the future if you keep your old setup.
Installation Process
If you’re considering HVAC installation for your home, it’s a good idea to know what you’re getting into before the technicians arrive. This preparation can give you peace of mind, especially when you see all the work that goes into air conditioning install service.
The process begins with an evaluation of your existing equipment to check for leaks or any other issues that might impact the performance of your new system. This is generally when any repairs to your current infrastructure are performed. The next step in air conditioning replacement is the removal of the outmoded unit.
Once the old unit has been removed, it’s time to install the AC unit replacement. This portion of the work may involve replacing piping or electrical and ductwork connections, if the hookups differ in any way. Electrical connections are checked, and refrigerant is added to the system per the manufacturer’s instructions at this time, as well.
After all this has been completed, the technician will connect your new air conditioner and test it to ensure everything is working the way it should. If it passes the test, this is usually when a new thermostat is installed or the existing one checked. After a final check to make sure your new HVAC system is in good working order, you should receive a few reminders about proper maintenance services.
