HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE YOU BUY |
|||||
|
|
|||||
| SOME ACOILS CAN NOT BE SERVICED WITHOUT
CUTTING THE AC LINES. OTHERS IF YOU SPEND 60 TO 80 DOLLARS MORE HAVE A ACCESS
PLATE SO YOU CAN CLEAN IT YEARLY YOUR SELF, IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. CLEANED
REGULARLY IT RUNS MUCH MORE EFFICIENTLY.
MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS NOT THE EASY TO SERVICE. TO CLEAN IT WOULD BE ABOUT $485.00 LABOR. THE AC LINES NEED TO BE CUT TO GET ENTRANCE TO THE ACOIL AND THEN THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO TO BE RECHARGED. |

|
A GOOD A COIL HAS A INSPECTION OPENING ON EACH SIDE. |
|||||
|
|
|||||
| INSPECTION PLATE REMOVED ALLOWS EASY CLEANING WITH SHOP VAC OF THE INSIDE OF A COIL. USUALLY A 10 TO 30 MINUTE JOB THAT THE HOME OWNER CAN DO THEM SELF, SAVING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN A SERVICE CALL. | |||||
|
|
|||||
|
YOU ALSO NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE SIZE OF THE A COIL THAT GOES ON TOP THE FURNACE. IT MUST BE CORRECTLY MATCHED SO AS TO GIVE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY. The indoor Evaporator Coil shares the cooling burden with your system’s outdoor Condensing Unit to keep you cool and dry. An old or DIRTY OR A mismatched coil can rob you of the performance you expect and need. |
|||||
| SOME FURNACE COMPANIES PUT A, A COIL IN THAT USES ONLY 60 TO 80 % OF THE TOTAL AIR FLOW AREA AND THIS COSTS YOU ADDITIONAL DOLLARS TO RUN THE UNIT BECAUSE THEY SOLD YOU A SYSTEM THAT WAS NOT UP TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF A WELL DESIGNED SYSTEM TO START WITH. THE BEST AND MOST EFFICIENT SYSTEMS ONLY COSTS A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS MORE AND UNUSUALLY, AND WILL PAY FOR ITSELF IN JUST A FEW YEARS OF COMBINED OPERATING EXPENSE AND MAINTENANCE SAVINGS. | |||||
FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE TO WORK THE BEST AND MOST EFFICIENTLY YOU MUST START WITH A PLENUM THAT IS CORRECTLY DESIGNED SO AS TO ALLOW EASY ACCESS FOR SERVICE, AND SIZED TO FIT THE EQUIPMENT BEING USED. |
|||||
| JUST A LITTLE REMINDER THAT A, ACOIL THAT IS NOT SIZED PROPERLY ALSO COSTS YOU IN HEATING EFFICIENCY IF THE HOT AIR CANNOT FLOW EASILY THROUGH THE A COIL. | |||||
