Air Conditioning Basics
The four main components to your air conditioner are:
Condenser: The condenser is the outside metal unit and where the gas from the compressor is condensed into a liquid. The gas entering the condenser is very hot. The temperature is then lowered, so the gas can convert back to a liquid.
Compressor: The compressor is inside the condenser. It circulates the pressurized refrigerant, to concentrate the heat, and changes the low pressure gas to high pressure.
Evaporator: The evaporator is the part of the system inside the home. In simple language, it absorbs the heat from your home.
Expansion Valve: The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant in your system.
All of these pieces are connected by a copper tube that handles refrigerant, creating a closed loop. Heat is collected in the evaporator, sent outside to the condenser. The heat is removed, and the cool air is recirculated back into your home.
AC Facts
An Air Conditioner Doesn’t Create Cool Air.
What happens in the AC process is actually the removal of heat from the air. Your AC uses a chemical called refrigerant to remove heat and transfer it outside. The warm air runs through the lines and coils in your unit and goes from liquid to gas and back again. During this process, the refrigerant removes the heat and transfers it elsewhere so that when the air comes out the other side, it is cool.
Your AC Will Remove Humidity.
Lower humidity helps the overall comfort level in your home by making you feel cooler, even if the temperature is the same.
Your Air Filter Needs To Be Checked And Replaced Every Three To Six Months.
(depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations)
A dirty air filter restricts your air flow, which reduces efficiency, costing you money, and over time can put stress on your unit and could cause a costly repair.
Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance.
Your air conditioner needs regular checkups to keep it running in tip-top shape. Having regular annual preventative maintenance will bring your system longer life and fewer breakdowns over all.
SEER
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures air conditioning and heat pump cooling efficiency, which is calculated by the cooling output for a typical cooling season divided by the total electric energy input during the same time frame. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency.

“Honest, reliable and great customer service!
I really have to say something about Quality Service Co. From beginning to end it was the best customer service experience that I have ever had. I truly mean that. For years my Air Conditioner has not be keeping up and my light bills have been high. Less than 4 years ago I bought a 3 ton unit and paid a contractor to install it. They ran new lines and installed a Goodman unit which is still under warranty. This year was the hottest yet so I contacted Quality Service Co. and met Dwight Milliken, Home Solution Advisor. Rather than just trying to sell us a new unit he went to his car got his coveralls and went under my house to see exactly what was wrong. It appears that the other contractors that worked on my new AC Unit neglected to tell us that my ductwork in the crossover was torn and had water in it! Most of our air was going under the house! We were shown videos of the damage. In fact, it appeared that it had been done wrong from the factory. Dwight gave us a fair estimate for repairs and we didn’t need to replace the unit. Everything went exactly as planned. Our installation technicians Deven and Brett arrived right on time. Both of them were professional and made sure I knew exactly what was going on. After the repair they explained in detail what they’d done and showed video of the replacement work. They were polite, didn’t mind questions and were genuine and friendly. I don’t remember when I last had such excellent service. The problem was instantly solved with minimum cost. It’s so hard today to find people that you can trust. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing A/C repairs or replacement or any other service that they provide!”

“I had to have my AC looked at today. Nelson showed up and was very professional and polite. He performed all his checks on my system and gave me the news. It could have been worse and he explained the process of the work that was going to be performed when he returns. We had great conversation while he worked. He even checked back in to make sure everything was still good. I have a maintenance plan with Quality so I did save a little money on this visit and the next. I highly recommend them should you ever need maintenance or a new unit. All of their techs are knowledgeable on the products in their line of work.”

“Hunter did a great job at analyzing the issue with our air conditioning unit and getting back on line in minutes. And just to make sure everything was good, he also checked our unit under the house. It’s too back the reviews don’t have ten stars because he’d have earned all ten!”
