      <title>Is It Okay to Spray Water on Your Air Conditioner While It’s Running?</title>
      <link>https://www.randysmechanical.com/2023/05/is-it-okay-to-spray-water-on-your-air-conditioner-while-its-running</link>
      <description>Are you worried about damaging your AC by spraying water on it? If so, take a look to see if it's safe or not to spray your AC unit.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          People are often hesitant to spray water directly onto a running air conditioner. The reason is the worry that splashing water on a running electrical appliance may cause a fire, short circuit, or fry the HVAC.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Yes, spraying water on your air conditioner while running is okay. Don’t panic! To run efficiently, the condenser unit of your AC needs occasional spraying to remove dirt, grass chips, and other debris to keep it running efficiently.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Connect a garden hose and spray the air conditioner thoroughly for an excellent outside wash. You don’t even need to be gentle. Please set it to a hard stream and run water over the system from top to bottom till it’s squeaky clean.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          However, some parts of the
          &#xD;
    &lt;a href="https://randysmechanical.com/air-conditioning-repair-utah/" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
        
            air conditioning system
           &#xD;
      &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
          should be left dry. Be careful not to get water into these parts as it might fault the unit, and you’ll have to call a professional for assistance.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

           Advantages of Spraying Water on Your Air Conditioner
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           There are several perks to the regular spritz on your unit. They include the following:
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Improve Efficiency
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When the water gets to the condenser, it evaporates, which helps cool it. A cool condenser runs more efficiently while consuming less energy. Ultimately, it saves and lowers the amount you pay for energy.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Increase Durability
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The less work your air conditioner does, the longer it will last. Therefore, to increase the unit’s durability, save it from overworking and fatigue.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In addition, pay attention to the filters as well. Clogged filters can cause severe faults in your air conditioner. You must clean and change your filters every 60-90 days.
           &#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Improve Cleanliness
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          As your AC unit runs, it collects dust and other debris that clogs the filter over time. Spraying your unit with water helps keep it clean by removing unwanted particles. A clogged unit will cost you money for repairs, replacements, and maintenance.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

         How to Clean Your HVAC Unit
        &#xD;
&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Apart from spraying down your HVAC with water, there are additional cleaning tasks you need to do for your unit to run optimally. They include the following:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Clean the AC Evaporator Coils
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          An air conditioner has two types of coils:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Condenser coils that propel the warm air outside
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Evaporator coils that absorb heat and humidity for the air
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
    
          It is best to clean the coils as often as possible. However, if you are still determining your qualifications, contact a professional technician company for their air conditioning repair services.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          If you decide to clean the coils, here is how to go about it:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           First, switch off the main power and thermostat
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Inspect for any visible damage to the unit. Call for assistance if you note any significant damage
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Remove the debris stuck on the unit
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Remove the fan to avoid damaging the fan blades and wiring
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Spray a coil cleaner on the coils and rinse off gently. Avoid spraying the fan motor
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Reassemble the unit, turn the power back on, and reset the thermostat to cool
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Listen for any strange noises from the air-conditioning and call a technician if you hear anything
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

         Clean the Fins
        &#xD;
&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          When cleaning the AC coils, you ought to clean the fins too.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Using a soft brush or vacuum, gently run through the fins in an up-and-down motion
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Using a cooling fin comb, straighten up any of the bent or damaged fins
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Then moderately spritz the fins with water to reduce the buildup
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;

      <title>What Would the Symptoms of a Dirty Coil Be?</title>
      <link>https://www.randysmechanical.com/2023/05/what-would-the-symptoms-of-a-dirty-coil-be</link>
      <description>Your AC having dirty coils is an issue that needs to be taken care to avoid further problems. Take a look at these signs that your ac coils may be dirty.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          An essential part of your HVAC system is the evaporator coil. It absorbs heat from your indoor living space while providing clean and comfortable air. When it gets clogged with dirt and dust, you can run into several issues that compromise the performance of your AC unit. And that’s why

           &#xD;
      &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
          and maintenance are vital.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          The evaporator coil is critical to the proper functioning of your unit. However, it’s located inside your air conditioning system, making it hard to tell if it has accumulated dust and dirt. However, there are several signs you can look out for: Reduced cooling efficiency, higher utility bills, and frost forming on the coil, among other symptoms.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          This blog will discuss the most common signs of a dirty evaporator coil and how to fix the issues.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
  
         Signs And Symptoms That Your Evaporator Coil Needs Repair
        &#xD;
&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Below are the five telltale signs and symptoms of a dirty evaporator coil that you should look out for:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Ineffective Cooling
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          The least you can wish for is an air conditioner that doesn’t cool on a hot summer day. Ineffective cooling is a sign of a dirty evaporator coil.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          When dirt and dust accumulate on the evaporator coil, it prevents the AC unit from functioning properly. You’ll notice that your living space is always warm or takes longer to cool down.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         The Air Conditioning System Runs Longer
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Does your air conditioning unit have to run for a more extended period to achieve the cooling your home needs? There’s a high chance the evaporator coil may be dirty.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          When the evaporator coil has dirt and dust, it fails to absorb heat efficiently. It has to work extra hard and run for long periods to bring temperatures in your home down.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Higher Utility Bills
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          You can easily overlook the subtle symptoms of a dirty evaporator coil. For example, when your air conditioning system runs for extended periods to meet your home’s cooling demands, it uses a lot of energy. And, if you keenly track your energy bills, you’ll notice an increase.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Your utility bills can increase when your air conditioning system runs more often than usual due to a dirty coil. Therefore, searching for air conditioning repair services would be valuable to help you solve the issue.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Frost On the Coil
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coil is a commonly misunderstood symptom of an issue with your air conditioning unit. Most people dismiss it out of hand (an air conditioner should be cold) or scrape off the ice. It’s wrong!
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          When you notice ice or frost on the evaporator coil, it suggests a problem with your HVAC system. And scraping it off doesn’t help.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Frost or ice formation on the coil indicates that it’s dirty and needs air conditioning repair. It happens when condensation forms on the dirt and dust and freezes when the air conditioning system operates, preventing proper heat absorption.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         A Reduction in Airflow
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          The most noticeable sign of an issue with your air conditioning unit is when there’s a significant drop in the airflow coming from the vents. It occurs when dirt and dust clog the evaporator coil blocking airflow in your AC unit.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Reducing airflow can lead to slow and uneven distribution of cool air in your home, creating cold and hot areas in your living space. Reduction in airflow can also lead to:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Pressure imbalances
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Your AC unit is blowing warm air
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Weak airflow or no air coming from the vents in your home
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          When you overlook these issues, over time, it may strain your HVAC system leading to compressor failure. Therefore, performing air conditioning repairs would be beneficial to avoid purchasing the entire AC unit.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
  
         Why You Need to Keep the Evaporator Coil Clean
        &#xD;
&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          A dirty evaporator coil can lead to an increase in the consumption of energy in your home by up to 30 percent. Furthermore, it reduces the efficiency of your home’s HVAC system and indoor air quality; it may also affect those with respiratory problems.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          A clean evaporator coil can:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Increase its lifetime. Keeping the evaporator coil can extend its life. On the other hand, a dirty coil causes your AC unit to work hard and makes it wear out prematurely.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Reduces air conditioning repair costs. The evaporator coil can easily break down if it’s dirty, compelling repairs. But when it’s kept clean, it saves you money.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Enhances comfort in your home. A clean evaporator coil boosts the level of comfort within your home. However, when it’s dirty, it makes your living space stuffy and uncomfortable.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          To get the most out of your AC evaporator coil, keep them clean and free from dirt or other elements that can interfere with efficient heat transfer in your home.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

         Understanding HVAC Systems and Components
        &#xD;
&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          The HVAC system comprises several parts that work together to regulate the temperature, humidity, and air quality in a building. The components include:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           The thermostat is the control panel that regulates the temperature in the building. It sends signals to the HVAC system to turn on or off based on the temperature settings.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           The evaporator coil cools the air, and the heat exchanger heats the air.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           The refrigerant lines transport the refrigerant from the condenser to the evaporator coil, which absorbs heat from the air.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           The blower motor circulates the air through the system while the air ducts distribute the air to different parts of the building.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
  
         Common HVAC Problems and Their Causes
        &#xD;
&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          According to the U.S. Department of Energy, HVAC takes up 44% of the energy used on-site in commercial buildings. Therefore, HVAC systems may develop different issues, such as a dirty air filter that restricts airflow, making the system work harder to circulate air, which can cause it to overheat and shut down. Additionally, it may result in a faulty thermostat causing the system to turn on and off randomly or fail to turn on.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Some of the contributing factors to HVAC problems include:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Poor maintenance
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Wear and tear
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Environmental factors
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
  
         What Your Repairman Will Do for HVAC Troubleshooting
        &#xD;
&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          When HVAC professionals arrive at your location, they will first troubleshoot your system. Troubleshooting will enable them to detect and solve minor issues that may be causing your HVAC system not to function well. It will also allow them to identify the faulty components that need repair or replacement. Troubleshooting may involve the following:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Inspect the design visually, looking for damage, wear, or corrosion.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Checking whether the thermostat is adjusted to the appropriate temperature and if the system is in the “cold” or “hot” modes. If the thermostat is battery-operated, they’ll check and replace the batteries if necessary.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           If the HVAC system isn’t turning on, the repairmen will check the circuit breaker to ensure it hasn’t tripped. If it has, they’ll reset it and see if the system turns on.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Verifying that all the vents are open and unblocked since they can limit airflow and make the system work harder if closed or clogged.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           If your HVAC system has a condensate drain, they’ll check it for clogs and clear them.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Checking the outdoor unit for any visible damage or debris obstructing airflow. They’ll clear any debris and ensure the team is in good working condition.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Looking for leaks or other damage to the ductwork. Leaky ductwork can cause air to escape and reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          The above steps are easy and can be undertaken by the homeowner. However, if these fail, to solve the problem, it’s time to call in a professional HVAC technician. They have the experience and tools needed to diagnose and repair complex issues. A technician will use diagnostic tools to identify the source of the problem, such as a multimeter, pressure gauges, or a refrigerant leak detector. Once the source of the problem is spotted, they will proceed with the necessary repairs or replacements.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Effective HVAC troubleshooting also requires adherence to best practices. These include ensuring that the system is turned off before beginning any repair or replacement work, wearing protective gear, gloves, and goggles, and following the manufacturer’s instructions when using diagnostic tools or replacing parts. All repairmen know this.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
  
         Troubleshooting HVAC Refrigerant Leaks
        &#xD;
&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          A refrigerant leak is a common HVAC problem that may cause surmountable damage. Therefore, identifying and fixing the leak is essential to prevent further damage to the design and ensure it operates efficiently. To troubleshoot a refrigerant leak, the technician can use a refrigerant leak detector or an ultraviolet (UV) dye to identify the source of the leak. The technician can then proceed with the necessary repairs.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

          Effective HVAC troubleshooting requires adherence to safety precautions. These include turning off the system before beginning any repairs or replacements, wearing protective gear like gloves and goggles, and ensuring the system is properly grounded. Following the manufacturer’s instructions when using diagnostic tools or replacing parts is essential.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Handling refrigerant safely is important, as it can be hazardous to humans and the environment. It’s necessary to wear protective gear when handling refrigerant and to dispose of it properly.

          A properly functioning air conditioner keeps the air cool and fresh in the hot summer and warm and cozy in the winter. You will have an awful experience if your

            air conditioning system malfunctions
           &#xD;
      &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
          when you need it most. To avoid such a scenario, you should have the air conditioning system routinely assessed by a professional to determine whether it needs repairs.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          There are several air conditioning systems, and most, if not all, have similar components. They include the following:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           A refrigerant
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           A compressor
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Evaporation coils
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           An expansion valve
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Condenser coils
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
  
         Types of AC Units and the Average Professional Cost to Repair
        &#xD;
&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          A breakdown of the types of air conditioners available and how much repairs and maintenance will cost you. An HVAC system is used in both residential and commercial settings. Here are the four types of air conditioning systems:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Window Air Conditioner
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Window air conditioners have refrigeration components in a single compact box. On the outdoor side are the condenser coils to eject the heat, and on the indoor side are the evaporator coils blowing in the cool air.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Repairing your windows AC will cost approximately $75-$150. The window ACs are cheaper to improve as they have minimal issues. Common repairs involve:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Thermostat failure
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Poor mounting
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Malfunctioning compressor
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Blower issues
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Portable Air Conditioner
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Portable air conditioners are ideal for rooms under 500 square feet. The unit is self-contained and placed on the floor of the room. The heat is released through a hose vent to a window vent or exterior wall.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Repair costs range from $80 to $250 and require no additional mounting cost, like window ACs.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Ordinary repairs and maintenance of portable ACs include:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Tube condensation
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Clogged and dirty filters
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Thermostat issues
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Leaks
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Fan issues
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Central Air Conditioner
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          The central air conditioning system is the largest and most pricy of all the units. It comprises two divisions, the evaporative and condensing units, which link to the refrigerant tubing. When installing a central air conditioner, ensure the unit fits your home. If the system is too big or small, it won’t function as it should.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Repairing a central AC will cost approximately $100 to $550. Standard air conditioning repairs include:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           Fixing refrigerant leaks
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Thermostat replacement
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Clogged drain lines
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Split Air Conditioners
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          The mini split air conditioner is also known as ductless AC. As the name suggests, the system comprises two packages. One is the condensing unit that is placed on the building’s exterior. The second is the evaporative unit responsible for cooling and distribution at the interior.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Repairing a ductless mini split AC costs about $750 to $900. Improving the mini split AC is costly as it involves repairing one of the two circuit boards on the indoor or outdoor unit.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
  
         Assessing Whether Your AC Needs Repair or Replacement
        &#xD;
&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Your AC needs routine maintenance from a skilled specialist from Randy’s Mechanical, Inc. The specialist will update you on what needs repair or replacement. However, the final word lies with you, the homeowner.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Here is what to look for in your AC to determine whether the unit needs repair or replacement.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Frequent Cycling
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          If your air conditioning system keeps restarting more often than it should, you should consult a technician. The issue could be the entire unit or just a simple and quick tune-up.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Warm Air
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          If you notice that warm air is blowing through the vents, you need to check your thermostat first. Confirm the unit is in cooling mode and not heating mode. Reset the temperatures below the current room temperatures, and if the air still comes out warm, the system has an airflow restriction problem. Call a professional for proper diagnosis, calibration, and air conditioning repair.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Increase in Humidity
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          In high humidity, your body feels sticky and sweaty. A properly functioning AC unit automatically controls your home humidity levels. You must contact a professional to inspect your air conditioning system or install a dehumidifier.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Insufficient Airflow
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Insufficient airflow could be due to duct blockage and a clear sign that your AC needs maintenance. The issue could be minor, like a clogged air filter, or dire, like a broken motor.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Strange Noise
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          A well-functioning air conditioning unit isn’t loud. If your air conditioner makes strange noises, it could be due to excess humidity.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          The unit makes a high-pitched noise due to high-pressure build-up inside the compressor. If the noise sounds more like a bang, it is likely from wear and tear. In case of a strange noise that you can’t understand, shut down the unit and contact a technician.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Bad Odor
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          A stinking smell coming from your air conditioner indicates poor ventilation and dirty coils. Another cause of the foul smell is mold and mildew growing inside the unit.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          It would help to address the smell concern as it can lead to serious health hazards. Clean the condensation lines and the cylinder, and don’t forget to change the filter. If it persists, shut down the AC and seek professional assistance.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
  
         Water Leaking
        &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Several things can cause water leakage into your home. They include the following:
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           A clogged or condensed drain line
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           A rusted or damaged drain pan
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Dirty air filter
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      
           Low refrigerant
          &#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          You can have a technician install a float switch to your air conditioner if it doesn’t have one. The function of the float switch is to shut down the air conditioner if water overflows again.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          We get it: Service visits can be a commitment, and setting up a maintenance schedule months or even years in advance may be asking a lot.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          That includes budgeting for visits like these ahead of time, so you know what to expect.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
          ?
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Let’s cover the basics!
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Here’s What an A/C Service Typically Costs
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          A basic service visit will cost between $100 to $300 on average.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Sometimes costs drop below that range – a simple fix to a window A/C unit may only cost around $50, while a complex visit with many tune-ups, refrigerant replacement, etc., may rise to $500 or more.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Suppose a service visit identifies components that need to be replaced.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          In that case, that’s a significant additional cost; most likely, a follow-up visit tends to add another several hundred dollars to the overall cost.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          That’s one reason that regular maintenance is important: technicians can catch problems before they become more expensive.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Suppose owners want to add more maintenance services, like a full ventilation inspection, beyond a typical service visit.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          That will typically add more to the cost and may need to be scheduled differently than a standard service call.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Please keep in mind that costs can vary based on factors like location and the age and size of the unit.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

      <title>How Often Should an A/C Be Serviced?</title>
      <link>https://www.randysmechanical.com/2023/02/how-often-should-an-a-c-be-serviced</link>
      <description>The best time to have your A/C serviced is in the late spring or early summer when the outside temperature is above 70°.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Air Conditioning (A/C) units are generally installed in places where they are out of sight and away from high-traffic areas.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Because of this, many homeowners need to be reminded to have their A/C serviced.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;a href="https://randysmechanical.com/contact-us/" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
        
            Scheduling an A/C service
           &#xD;
      &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
          that repeats every spring is a great way to remember to get your cooling equipment serviced before the summer heat hits.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          An A/C service consists of scheduling an appointment with a licensed HVAC technician and having them come to your home to clean, test, and evaluate the equipment (indoor and outdoor) that cools your home.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Service visits generally cost less than $125.00 and can significantly increase the lifespan of your cooling system.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Consistently having your cooling equipment serviced can also save you money and headaches in the long run when worn or failing parts are discovered and replaced before they fail.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Bottom line: You should schedule an appointment to have your A/C serviced about once a year, especially for older models.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          For the best performance, a twice-a-year visit is even better. Let’s dive into some important details.
         &#xD;

      <link>https://www.randysmechanical.com/2023/01/how-much-does-it-cost-to-put-in-a-heating-and-cooling-system</link>

      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Many people are familiar with the initials HVAC and know that they refer to heating and cooling, but you might find it helpful to know that the initials stand for
          &#xD;
    &lt;a href="https://randysmechanical.com/services/" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
        
            heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
           &#xD;
      &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
          .
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          HVAC systems are designed to control the heating, cooling, airflow, and humidity inside a home or building. In other words, an HVAC system not only regulates the temperature inside your home by keeping you cool during the summer and warm during the winter, but it also cleans the air you breath and can add or remove humidity from your home.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Many of the environments that we live, work, and play in are made comfortable by HVAC systems. In fact, they have become so common that we rarely notice them, that is, until they fail.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
          Most HVAC systems last between 10 and 15 years, but they don’t last forever. At some point the equipment that makes up your heating and cooling system will need to be replaced. When that time comes, it’ll be good to have an idea of what a new system costs.
         &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
