AC Installation Plano, TX

Is it time for a new AC installation in Plano, TX? Would you like a free estimate on a replacement air conditioner? Maybe you need advice on choosing the proper air conditioner. Having the proper size of air conditioner is actually more important than the brand that you choose. If someone sells you an air conditioner that is too small for your home, obviously it won’t cool your home properly. On the reverse side, if someone sells you an air conditioner that is too large for your home, it won’t run long enough to remove the humidity from your home. Not only does humidity hold heat, but you will not feel comfortable in a home that has high humidity. To feel comfortable you will need to set the temperature lower. In other words, a humid house at 70 degrees can feel like a house with less humidity at 72 degrees. Get your air conditioner properly sized for your home.

If you are not sure if an AC repair is the best option, call us for a repair and we can discuss whether a new air conditioner should be considered. If you have R22 known as Freon® in the system, you should get a new air conditioner if there is a leak in the system. No what your situation, we can provide options and help you make the proper decision. So let us get an expert to your home. Call us now for AC Installation in Plano, TX.

Recharge AC Plano, TX

Are you looking for an AC Repair Company to recharge your air conditioning system?

Unless you put the correct amount of refrigerant in, your air conditioner will not cool your home properly. Give us a call and we will properly recharge your air conditioner with the proper refrigerant.

Add Freon to Air Conditioner

If you have an extremely old air conditioner there’s a good chance the refrigerant inside is Freon®. Freon is also known as R22. If your technician pulls out a green jug of refrigerant it is Freon. This refrigerant is in the system under low pressure. It is no longer offered in new equipment and has been discontinued. If your system has a leak and uses Freon, it might be a better option to replace it. Freon is very expensive, and to have it leak out in a short period of time is not cost effective. Additionally, these old AC systems we not very efficient and therefore the cost of electricity will be very high.

Recharge AC with Puron

Puron® is the successor to Freon. Puron, also known as 410A, is under high pressure. If your technician recharges your system with Puron he will use a pink jug. Puron systems are newer and have a high SEER rating. SEER rating stands for “Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio”. The higher the SEER rating the more efficient the air conditioner will be. That means lower electric bills. No matter the refrigerant used, 5 Star will recharge you air conditioner. Call us today for an AC recharge.

Air Conditioning Tips - Help Reduce the Need for AC Repair

Change the AC Filter Regularly. The number one air conditioning tip is simple. Change your air conditioning filters regularly. If you want to reduce AC repairs a clean filter is the most important place to start. If the air conditioner filter is dirty and clogged up it will greatly reduce the air flow. Air flow is essential for heating and cooling. Think how much harder it is to move air through a filter if it is clogged up. That puts extra stress on the blower motor and other parts. You have got to be able to move air freely to heat and cool your home. If the AC filter is not changed regularly will end up with a dirty evaporator coil. Air will not pass easily through the coil and then the coil will freeze up. That ice will lead to unnecessary stress on the evaporator coil and cleaning the coil is an expensive repair. A clean AC filter reduces many future unnecessary repairs.

Wash the Outside Condenser Coil. Warning. Talk to a professional before you attempt to wash the coil. Otherwise, you can easily damage the fins of the coil. Repair and replacement of the coil is very expensive. Let an AC professional show you how to do it for you attempt to do it yourself. Do not use a power washer. A dirty condenser coil restricts air flow. That air flow through the coil is critical to remove heat from your home. With no air flow you put unnecessary stress on the fan motor and other parts. Your air conditioner has to for extended periods of time. Keep the outside condenser coil clean to reduce the chance of AC repair.

Seasonal Maintenance. Seasonal maintenance is a great tip to help reduce the need for AC repair. A technician will inspect the system, watch and listen to it run, and take AMP draw readings to make sure the air conditioner is running properly. He will also check the refrigerant during the warmer seasons. The good new is the technician can advise and prevent some of the oncoming problems in advance.

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your air conditioning equipment. Air conditioning systems are getting more expensive all the time because it is continually required that new air conditioners are more efficient. Extend the life of your air conditioning equipment and cut your electric bills in the process. If your AC equipment eventually is in need of repair, call 5 Star HVAC for AC repair Plano service.

What is HVAC

The complete service that an air conditioning and heating company offers is known as HVAC. HVAC of course is an acronym. The “H” in HVAC stands for Heating. There are three ways to generate heat in the Plano, TX area. There is gas heat which can be either natural gas or in remote areas, propane. There is also electric heat and there are heat pumps. Heat pumps are basically air conditioners that can run in reverse to heat your home.

The “V” in HVAC stands for ventilation. Ventilation includes ductwork, plenums and grills. Older fixed duct is called hard duct or metal duct. Hard duct is rarely used on residential systems any longer but is a solid staple in commercial systems. Also called rigid duct, it is stronger and more durable than the other common type of duct known as flex duct. Flex duct is obviously flexible. It is easier to install and is actually quieter that hard duct.

AC in HVAC stands for Air Conditioner. The air conditioner is used to cool the home. Most residential air conditioning systems are known as split systems. A split system has part of the system outside and the other part of the system inside, which can either be inside the attic or inside a closet. A gas furnace or electric air handler is located inside. There is also an evaporator coil in addition to the furnace, but an electric air handler already contains the evaporator coil. Most commercial systems are called package units. A package unit has the complete package of air and heating equipment located outside. Package units are commonly, but not necessarily on the roof.

The condenser is located outside. The heart of the condenser is a compressor which compresses the refrigerant gas back into a liquid. The system does not cool the air, it actually removes heat from the house. The absence of heat is cool air. Bottom line, call 5 Star HVAC for all of your HVAC needs.
