We sweat the details in finding you the correct central cooling system.
Many air conditioners installed today can use less than half the electricity to cool your home as those made 20 years ago – assuming they are sized and installed correctly. If your central air conditioner is old, inefficient, or on its last leg, it pays to hire a company whose experienced technicians follow all the steps necessary to ensure you receive the comfort and cost saving you deserve. Call Thermocool to schedule a time for one of our comfort advisors to conduct a comfort analysis, and to design the size and style central air conditioning system that will work best for your home or business.
Hot outside! Cool and comfortable inside! That is what we are looking for this system do for us. The typical central air conditioner has an outdoor condensing unit run by electricity and matching indoor evaporator coil. The evaporator coil can be an integral part of an air handler or can be an added component to a furnace. These two matched components are connected with copper refrigeration tubing.
When your thermostat calls for cooling, it communicates this signal to your furnace or air handler. The outdoor condenser and the blower (or circulation fan) start to operate. As the fan is operating it will pull in air (Hot) from your conditioned space by the return air duct distribution system. This air will now pass through and around the indoor evaporator coil. Indoor heat is then transferred to the refrigerant which is flowing through inside of the indoor coil. The heat that is absorbed by the refrigerant is sent to the outdoor condenser unit, which dispels the heat to the outside. Since heat was absorb from the air, we have dehumidified and cooled the air. This conditioned cooler air now will be supplied back to conditioned space through the supply duct distribution system. This cycle will continue until the Thermostat is satisfied or temperature has been reached.
Each and every structure should have a survey of its elevation, square footage, square foot of windows and doors and exposure to determine the correct load size or amount of cooling capacity that is required. This survey is also known as the Manual J Load calculation.
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) this is the most commonly used term to rate the efficiency of a central air conditioner. SEER measures the efficiency of a cooling system over the entire cooling season. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy efficient the cooling system is.
EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio). This is a measure of how efficiently a cooling system will operate at peak load, or a specific outdoor design temperature. The higher the EER, the more energy efficient the cooling system is.
