Don't sweat it - we can solve your AC needs.
If you catch yourself feeling too hot at home during a warm Alberta summer, you might ask yourself a few questions such as:
And if the answers are all "YES," then it may be time to consider whether you have neglected some important AC services! Neglecting regular, routine maintenance for your air conditioner can cause problems with keeping your home cool. Let’s take a look at how things like low refrigerant, a dirty unit, and even incorrect installation can potentially cause issues and leave you wondering “Why am I still so hot!?”
Low Refrigerant Heats Things Up in the Summer
The refrigerant in your AC unit works directly with the copper coil in your system; the process they enact together is important, as it turns the gaseous form of refrigerant into a liquid and then it gets blown through the fans of the AC unit into the rest of the house to cool everything down.
When your unit has low refrigerant or when the AC has a leak (which is also dangerous for the environment), your air conditioner will not run as well or as efficiently, leaving your house much warmer than you’d like. Unfortunately, this is not an issue you’ll be able to fix yourself — be sure to contact a licensed technician right away if you think there might be an issue with the refrigerant!
Dirty ACs Clog Your Summer Cool
Dirty air conditioners can ruin your summer cool more than you know! Many homeowners tend to forget about maintenance on the outdoor component of their AC systems (the condenser unit), and as such, dirt and debris buildup can clog the cooling system, causing it to run inefficiently. When your AC runs inefficiently, you may notice issues such as higher utility bills and difficulty keeping your home cool. Over time, it may even contribute to preventable break downs and shorter lifespan of the overall system.
Your AC works its hardest during the hottest days of summer, meaning a dirty, clogged unit is more likely to break down when you need it most.
Regular maintenance ensures your air conditioning system will continue running both smoothly AND efficiently all summer long.
Improper Cooling from Improper AC Installation
Correct, high-quality installation of your AC is imperative for ensuring home comfort as well as your air conditioning system's longevity. An improper installation may seem fine at first glance — and even work well for a little while — but down the line, issues may arise right when you need it most. Many AC problems can be prevented with a proper, high-quality installation right from the very beginning, and that's why ProSolutions always takes the time to ensure all our air conditioners are installed perfectly every single time.
