Efficiency with annual maintenance

Posted on by Jonathan

Air Conditioning maintenanceWhether you have just one air conditioner in your home or an entire central air cooling system, you will need a reliable contractor to help with cleaning, maintaining, and ensuring you are saving as much energy as possible when you are using your air conditioning system.

Cleaning and replacing your filters each month will help to maintain your air conditioning unit. HVAC maintenance also includes annual maintenance from a professional service to ensure your air conditioning unit’s equipment is up to par and is not leaking or causing an over usage of energy in your home. If you are not sure how to install and replace the filters in your air conditioner, you can refer to the user manual of your unit or call us in to assist you with the installation and replacement of the new filters your unit requires.

Before working with any professional service for your HVAC maintenance or even repairs, make a list of all of the concerns you have with your unit, including any questions regarding the air conditioners filters, output of energy, or even the programmed thermostat you are using to work the unit. Asking questions will allow you to get the answers you need when you are working with a certified professional.

To help yourself it is important to ensure your home is thoroughly insulated, including your loft space. Close off cracks under doors and within doorframes to help keep the air warm or cool air in your home, this will require less usage and use less electricity. You should also consider keeping your air conditioner set at one temperature as much as possible to reduce fluctuations in your electricity bills.

Set your home’s thermostat to an overall higher temperature when you are not at home or off at work for the day to save on energy use when you do not need the air conditioning. Also, opt for a programmable thermostat when you are trying to save money on your electric bill, as it will be a more accurate way to track your home’s temperature and the amount of energy you are using regularly.

Consider turning off your unit when the weather conditions permit. You can also save on energy usage by closing off specific ducts in your home to concentrate the air conditioning into specific locations. This will allow you to cool other rooms quicker, needing less air conditioning or allowing you to keep the air conditioner set a bit higher without feeling too hot or uncomfortable.

HVAC maintenance is important and adds to the reliability of your system as well as saving money. Call us today for details of our maintenance plans.

“Our open plan office houses around 100 people. Air distribution and draft was an issue for some of them prior to fitting air deflectors. Since the fitting we’ve not had a single complaint!”

How we got here

Air conditioning is known to have been applied in Ancient Rome: aqueduct water was passed through walls of houses to cool them. In medieval Persia similar techniques involving the use of cisterns and wind towers were used in the hot season to cool buildings.

Modern air conditioning emerged after advances in 19th Century chemistry, and it was Willis Haviland Carrier who invented and first used a large-scale electrical air conditioning system in 1902.

Air Conditioner Definition

An appliance, unit, system, or machine designed to stabilise the temperature and humidity of air within an area (used for both heating as well as cooling). A refrigeration cycle is the most common method of achieving this although sometimes evaporative coolers are used for comfort cooling inside buildings and vehicles.

A Simple Guide to HVAC

Posted on by Jonathan

What does the acronym HVAC mean to a nonprofessional? Commonly seen or spoken of, the meaning of these initials is not always clear. HVAC stands for “Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning”. A/C is a sub category of HVAC meaning Air Conditioning. The objective of HVAC is to provide comfort for everyday living, keep air clean in hospitals and laboratories and cool electronic equipment to cite a few applications.

“H” is for Heating

Heating is associated with radiators, furnaces, fireplace stoves, and electric heating. Radiators are fed with hot water from boilers, fireplace and stoves provides radiant heat by burning wood or coal, cast iron stoves heat up a space by means of fossil fuel burning, and electric heaters use the principle of electrical resistance to generate heat. Heating is one of the essentials that we cannot do without.

“V” is for Ventilation

Ventilation refers to air circulation and movement between an open space, and an enclosed space. It is possible to achieve this by natural means (breezes through an open window) or by means of forced ventilation. Ventilation is achieved via chimneys, grilles in walls, blowers, and ventilators. Ventilation is mostly a safety feature to avoid build up of carbon monoxide in an enclosed space when using open fires but also to keep air flowing freely in an enclosed space.

“AC” is for Air Conditioning

Air Conditioning is not just about refrigerant filled air conditioning units. The word “conditioning” refers to conditioning the air by filtering and cooling for the comfort of the occupants in a room. The air conditioning equipment should alter air temperature by heating or cooling, alter the humidity of the air, mix and circulate air, and filter and purify air. Air conditioners are found coupled with heating, and ventilation especially with central air conditioners.

Alter Air Temperature

Equipment, which alters air temperature, by means of cooling is called an air conditioner. It is called a heat pump, if it is used for heating.

Alter air humidity

A conventional air conditioner can alter humidity. When used for cooling, it will also dehumidify. A heat pump will also alter relative humidity as it heats up the air.

Circulate and mix air

Stale and stagnant air is not good for health. Fans can achieve air circulation in its simplest form, which displaces warm air. Ducts and blowers are required for air circulation throughout a whole building. This combination is used with central air conditioners. The conditioned air may then be circulated to designated areas.

Filtration and Purification

Most air conditioning equipment is fitted with filters to filter out dust. Air purification is achieved by activated carbon to remove odours, UV light for removing germs, and HEPA filters, which are high efficiency filters to remove particles from air.

Simply Air Conditioning London are experts at everything HVAC.
