Repairs to home air conditioners

There are a few things that can malfunction on an air conditioner, as with any large household appliance. Some of these can be fixed easily without having to enlist the help of a professional air conditioning contractor.

The obvious thing to check when your air conditioning is not working properly is the thermostat. With digital thermostats it can simply be that the batteries need changing. Older thermostats can accidentally be turned off just by brushing up against them. Sometimes it can be a blown fuse or tripped breaker. An electrician should be called if replacing the fuse or resetting the breaker doesn’t solve the problem. Outdoor units may need to be turned off for a while to thaw out if the air conditioning has been running for a long time and the unit has frozen up. These are just a few simple examples but, some air conditioning repairs will require professional help.

Air Conditioning Repair Contractors

Enlisting an conditioning repair service contractor isn’t always the first thing to do when your air conditioning is malfunctioning but, sometimes it is unavoidable. Over estimating your skills as a “troubleshooter” can take you down a road leading to more problems, bigger headaches and expensive repair costs. Air conditioning units are complex and fixing electrical problems or regulating Freon levels requires trained Turlock air conditioning repair service contractors who are qualified to get the job done.

Air Conditioning Replacement

Residents who live in Turlock know that summer time can bring high energy bills. Compared to older units the newer air conditioning units are much more energy efficient. They cool a room faster so they run for shorter periods of time making them less costly to run. It may actually end up saving you a considerable amount of money  if you replace an old unit.This is especially true if your old unit is malfunctioning a few times a year and needs a great deal of attention. So, even though a new unit may be a big investment it can lead to big savings in the form of lower energy bills and the value the new unit will add to your home can be worth it:

●     Zoning and Split-Systems: While geothermal may be the future of home heating and cooling, split-system and zoning schemes are already here and offering new levels of energy-efficiency for general air conditioning purposes.

●     Evaporative Cooling: In dry climates, you take advantage of low humidity levels to deliver extremely energy-efficient air conditioning through a process called evaporative cooling, or “swamp coolers.”

●     Window Mounted Air Conditioners: For those who live in smaller homes or apartments, an entire central air system might not be economically practical. Window units are an excellent way to keep one or two rooms in the house icy cold, without having to foot the bill for central air. For $300-$400, you can easily find a window unit that will efficiently cool a room of over 800 square feet.
