What does an air conditioner do for a house that so significantly affects the air quality?

The most direct reason that an air conditioner affects air quality is by temperature control. With that process comes a host of secondary benefits that many people don't know about. The cooling process is done via a condenser. This machine draws moisture from the air as it cools it. This lowers the relative humidity in the home significantly which can have a major affect on warm and wet climates. The heating process has the same effect but in reverse. The heating of air causes it to expand and absorb moisture. Outside of moisture controls, air filters are a primary facilitator in the comfort of a home. These tiny devices remove or capture a huge portion of the irritants in the airflow. The following list details some of the biggest factors that an air conditioner and heater will control:

  • Dust- This is such a big issue inside of homes that if left unchecked it can clog and block air filters. This material is a huge cause of allergies and congestion inside a home.
  • Bacteria- Airborne bacteria is captured by filters. During certain times of the year when illness is prevalent, this can be a major bonus to the health of a household.
  • Humidity- The heating and cooling process help to moderate the moisture in the air at all times. This makes hot and cold parts of the year feel much more comfortable.
  • Mold- If mold has taken root in one of the dark spaces of a home, spores may be circulating through the air already. Air filters will stop this material from circulating through a home.
  • Pet dander- This substance can be a major problem if a homeowner has one or more animals inside the home. Air filters will prevent this from adding up inside the air.
  • Pollen- This can be a problem that residents with allergies become concerned with. Air filters will prevent most pollen from ever entering the interior of a home.

What is a good timeline for a homeowner to seek out air conditioning service or heating repair service?

Air system technicians will all say that the main unit needs to be inspected once a year. This inspection is key in preventing fluid leaks and mechanism breaks. A good technician will also inspect air vents to make sure there are no blockages or leaks. Technicians also recommend that air filters be replaced or cleaned once every three months. This helps to prevent buildups and blockages from happening that could affect the airflow inside a home. If a homeowner is unsure when the last inspection took place, it is a good idea for them to connect with a local technician and schedule an appointment. This will establish a timeline that they can follow for further inspections.

What are the warning signs that a homeowner should be watching for that indicate that they will soon need air conditioner repairs or furnace repairs?

There are many warnings that the air unit in a home may be having issues. The first priority if a homeowner suspects that the main unit may need repairs is to schedule an appointment with a technician. Preventive maintenance almost always costs less then emergency repairs after something has broken. No homeowner wants to be caught in the middle of the winter or summer without temperature controls. The following list details some of the more common problems and what may be causing them:

  • The home suffers from cold and hotspots in specific areas. This is often caused by a clogged ventilation system, but could be a more serious issue with a fan or fluid level.
  • The air conditioner or heater will not turn on. This may be due to a malfunctioning thermostat or a broken fan in the main unit.
  • The air system is slow to activate and runs longer than it should. This is often a problem with the thermostat not being calibrated properly.
  • The utility bills for a home have begun to rise without reason. This is often caused by a leaking ventilation system or a main unit with a broken fan. Something is working harder for the same results as previous years.
