If you'd like to keep your cooling costs down, it's best to use the "auto" setting so the fan only runs when needed to maintain the set temperature. On theother hand, if you prefer a more consistent temperature, you can use the "on" setting for a continuous airflow.

At AC Professional Cooling & Heating, we recommend scheduling a maintenance check for your unit in the spring when you do your other spring-cleaning chores. Regular service is the key to extending the life of your unit, but if you believe it's time for a replacement, you can count on us for professional service.

The evaporator coil looks and functions almost like a car's radiator except that it absorbs heat instead of rejecting it. It's located inside of your AC unit's air handler and works to keep your home cool and comfortable. 

Evaporator coils are mostly protected from debris and dust thanks to the unit's air filter. However, best practice includes cleaning the evaporator coil once a year to ensure it continues to function properly. During your maintenance check, your AC Professional Cooling & Heating tech will clean your unit's evaporator coil in addition to completing a variety of other steps.

The compressor is the heart of your AC unit. Without it, your AC unit would no longer be able to keep your home cool. The compressor is located in the outdoor cabinet right alongside the condenser coil. As the name implies, the compressor collects warm refrigerant vapor and compresses it into a denser form. This process causes and increase in temperature and pressure, which makes the refrigerant hotter than before. The pressurized refrigerant is eventually pushed through the condenser coil. 

HVAC compressors rely on a steady supply of refrigerant and lubricant in order to function properly. Refrigerant leaks can cause compressor damage, which is why AC Professional Cooling & Heating inspects it during every maintenance check. To schedule an AC unit check, please call us today.

AC units do not process refrigerant that’s in liquid form. To complete the cooling process, the refrigerant must be transformed back into a cool mist, which is where the expansion valve comes in. The role of the expansion valve is to convert liquid refrigerant back into vapor form. Once in mist form, the refrigerant passes through the evaporator coil, thus completing the cooling process.
