Tampa AC Installation Services _What is HVAC?

HVAC

HVAC stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning.  Any home or business heating and cooling system can fall under HVAC category. Whether referring to a window-unit or to a central heating and cooling system (HVAC systems) HVAC  is usually associated with larger packaged heating and cooling systems, however. 

HVAC technology is based on principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer and sometimes refrigeration, but for most people livng in or around Tampa who are looking for an HVAC installation, those abbreviations that may be added (HVAC&R or HVACR) will not mean much and often times people will even drop the HV and call for AC installation. This can actually differ from HVAC installations but your Tampa air conditioning tech or AC installation company can explain the major differences.

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning untis (HVAC) in Tampa bay is crucial to maintaining a cool home in the summer or a warm environment in the winter. Having air conditioning and ventilation system installed in your home or business can prevent mold, reduce allergens and create an overall stable environment for your home, people and belongings. Having heat in a Florida home may seem unnecessary but most people find it necessary, especially on those below freezing nights!

Here are some facts about HVAC and HVAC Installation

  • There are several components to an HVAC system. 
  • The largest component is the outdoor or condensing unit.
  • An indoor component is apart of the HVAC system. This part blows the cool air into your home and where most AC filters are located. Often refered to as the "air handler."
  • Another main component of an HVAC system is the duct work. AC ducts are normally located in the attic or underneath your home and are composed of large lines (duct work) that direct the cool or warm air into each room.

AC Problems Requiring AC Repair in Tampa Bay

If you live in the Tampa Bay area, you're running your air conditioning more often than you're running your heater. Because of the extensive useage of your AC in Tampa's climate, there are many things that can go wrong with your HVAC. Many home and business owners joke about having to have their Tampa AC repair company's phone number on speed dial, especially in the warmest months. There is nothing worse than having your AC malfunction in Florida's hottest months. With temperatures soaring into the high 90's in the heat of the summer it can be uncomfortable and even dangerous for those with health problems to be without a cooling system.

A good way to avoid being without AC at your Tampa Bay home or business come the summer months is by obtaining preventative maintenance service for your HVAC system. Our preventative maintenance and AC check up's can help to reduce the chances that your air conditioning will malfunction when you least expect it to.

Some of the most frequent causes for a faulty air conditioner, whether it is not cooling efficiently are listed below. Airzone Air Conditioning and Heating's preventative maintenance service will cover some of these issues. We will inspect your AC for problems for these problems and our AC repair service for Tampa Bay homeowners. We recommend performing an AC tune-up twice a year to properly maintain your system and save you money on your monthly utility bill. This can also cut down on needing costly AC repairs.

Some of the Most Frequent Problems That May Cause You to Require
AC Repairs at Your Tampa Bay Home or Business:

1. Air Conditioning Refrigerant / Coolent
Too little or too much air conditioning coolant or refrigerant can cause a problem with the efficiency of your air conditioning. It is imperative that you hire a licensed air conditioning company in Tampa to charge your air conditioner properly with the correct type and amount of freon. Many times a freon leak is the cause of a low freon level in your home's AC. Alternatively, too much AC freon can cause problems. 

2. Leaking Air Conditioning Ducts
Poor A/C performance is many times caused by leaky air conditioning ducts. Air conditioning ducts move cold or hot air through them and deliver the air that cools or heats your home or business. Homeowners won't usually notice if their AC ducts are leaking. Checking for air conditioning duct leaks is important to the performance of your air conditioner because when AC ducts leak, cool air escapes, thus increasing your utility bills because you are running your AC longer and more frequently. In Tampa Bay duct leak inspection may be required to be performed prior to any new HVAC installation . Have a licensed Tampa Air Conditioning Company to properly seal your AC ducts and perform a check for leaks.


3. AC Filters
Expensive AC filters aren't necessarily the best choice for your HVAC system. Sealing the ducts and performing other AC preventative maintenance services in combination with using the filter that your HVAC system calls for will help your AC run more efficiently. Keeping your AC filters clean will contribute to a good air flow, which is extremely important to efficiency. Our Air Zone AC repair technicians inTampa Bay will inspect your system and recommend what type of AC filters you should use.

4. AC Coils
Dirty AC coils can cause your AC to work harder and freeze up. Evaporator coils collect dirt and reduces airflow. Your evaporator coil should be checked and cleaned at least once a year. Outdoor condensers coils should also be cleaned and maintained regularly.
