Air Conditioning System

Your air conditioning system is made up of two parts, first the condenser unit which sits outside the home on a concrete block outside the house and the evaporator coils which sits above your furnace in the plenum of the ductwork. When the air conditioning system is in action warm or hot air is drawn from the return air grills in the home into the furnace through the blower and the heat is absorbed into the refrigerant gases in the A/C system the gases expand and are pumped out in pressured lines to the condenser unit outside where a large fan extracts the heat and compresses the gases to nearly a liquid and very cold state, the manipulated refrigerant gases are then sent back to the evaporator coils above the furnace and cold air is pushed into the supply side of the furnace system. The warm air from the return side of the furnace system is again absorbed by the refrigerant gases and the process starts over again.

Before Starting your air conditioning system up for the season there are a few things that you should do for preventative maintenance. (more…)
