How a cooling system works


In the cooling process, indoor air is blown by the air handler or furnace blower over the evaporator coil. As the air passes over this coil, heat is absorbed, causing the air to cool. The cool air then travels through the ductwork into the rooms of your home. The heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the indoor coil travels outside to the condensing unit where it is released to the outdoor air. This completes the loop in the cooling process. Remember, to achieve peak performance, all parts in the system must be carefully matched. It’s especially important that the indoor coil is designed to provide optimum cooling capacity and efficiency, and that the ductwork and indoor fan are properly sized to match the ducting to better handle the air flow requirements of your home. This is a particularly important consideration when adding central air-conditioning to an existing heating system. To make the right choice and realize full efficiency, install  a matched system, with upgraded NEW ducting.

Furnaces Installation Information

Many older homes are equipped with older style, first generation,  ( Non Induced draft) Category I Forced Air furnaces. These furnaces became popular in the Fifties, & there are a considerable number of these 40-Year Old furnaces still in operation. The only separation between your inside air stream & a poison gas, Carbon Monoxide, is a thin piece of tin. This Tin, in time, oxidizes, or cracks or ruptures  allowing the poison gas to enter the living space. Initially  this is a small amount, but as it increases, your health decreases. Excessive amounts will cause death.

In the Late 1970’s  a new type of Furnace was introduced. This New style, Category I, Induced draft, Logic board enhanced (in the late 80’s),  operates at a High 80+% AFUE.  (Annual Fuel  Utilization Efficiency) This type of furnace will solve this condition from happening in the first place.( Back drafting) The New furnaces have a “pump” motor in the lower part of the vent pipe, which assures that it will vent properly. It also has several sensors, which are connected to a circuit board that will offer a technician a code for fault diagnosis. There is No Pilot. Even the old burners have been eliminated.  In California, They’re Nox compliant & 20% to 30%   more efficient than the old style. Installation time is 4 to 6 hours,  start to finish. Several styles of thermostats are available. Different types of filtration are available. Code upgrades will be performed as per manufacturer installations, & local codes.  Ask about “Transite” vent pipe removal, New ducting, Improved air grilles and Upper & Lower combustion supplies, & New flooring, & other upgrades.
