Should I Have My Problematic Air Conditioner Compressor Replaced?

Monday, September 12th, 2016

While many parts of the country are preparing for fall by ensuring their heating systems are in good shape for the coming cooler temperatures, we are still using our air conditioning systems on a consistent basis. Hopefully, you haven’t had any trouble with your home cooling system, particularly if you had it properly maintained before the summer season began. However, no system is completely immune to problems, whether it be a refrigerant leak, breached ductwork, or a failed capacitor.

One of the most serious AC issues you can find yourself facing is that of a failed compressor. The compressor is essentially the heart of your cooling system. In many cases, replacing the compressor is not only possible but also recommended. However, if your system is aging or showing other trouble, then you may want to consider an entire AC replacement.

Is it Time to Start Considering an Air Conditioner Replacement?

Monday, August 22nd, 2016

“Repair It” or “Replace It” is a common argument we go through with ourselves about various conveniences in our lives—our cars, our electronic equipment, and of course our air conditioning systems. Many times—and most ideally so—repairing your air conditioner is sufficient.

Why a Bigger Air Conditioner Is Not Always Better

Monday, March 7th, 2016

If you’re thinking of replacing your air conditioner this year, it’s important to take a few factors into consideration. A common misconception about air conditioning is that a bigger unit will run less and cost less. Think of your AC system like a car: the more you drive your car in stop-and-go traffic rather than the highway, the faster it wears down. Your air conditioner must continuously shut on and off to compensate for its size if it is too big, a process known as short-cycling. This makes your system inefficient.

Should I Replace an Old AC with a Heat Pump?

Wednesday, October 15th, 2014

Replacing an aging air conditioner can be a great opportunity. Why? Not only will you benefit from greater energy efficiency and better reliability, you can also install a new kind of system that may benefit your home more than your current setup. One option for your new air conditioning installation in West Palm Beach is a heat pump. The name “heat pump” may be confusing, but be assured that a heat pump can offer your home great cooling in addition to great heating. While the operation of a heat pump is quite simple, the device itself is complex, and calls for professional installation. Envirotech Air Quality Services has been helping with air conditioning installation, repair and maintenance since 1987, so if you are in need of a new AC system, call us today.

Benefits of a Heat Pump

One of the best ways to assess whether or not you should replace your aging air conditioner with a heat pump is to review the benefits a heat pump can offer you:

  • Both heats and cools – thanks to a component called a reversing valve, a heat pump can provide your home with both warm and cool air. This means if you have been using separate systems, you can pare down your whole-home systems to one manageable device.
  • Better energy efficiency – a heat pump does not use any fossil fuels and only needs a small amount of electricity to operate – about 25% of that of an air conditioning unit. This can save you money on energy costs, particularly if you have a combustion heating system.
  • Better humidity control – because heat pumps operate on a low, continuous cycle instead of blowing forced air, the moisture control can be up to 30% better than with a traditional air conditioning system.

If you are looking for your air conditioning installation in West Palm Beach to provide great year-round comfort and better energy efficiency, a heat pump may be just what you need. Call Envirotech Air Quality Services today and schedule an appointment with one of our trained installation experts.

Things to Look for With an Air Conditioning Installation Service

Friday, June 13th, 2014

As we head into the hot season, you may be thinking it’s time for a new or replacement air conditioning installation for your West Palm Beach, FL property. Buying a new air conditioner is a multi-step process, and should be done with trained professionals to ensure you buy an air conditioner that provides the proper level of cooling needed for your home. For over 30 years, Envirotech Air Quality Services has been installing air conditioning in West Palm Beach, FL, and we have a few tips for you to consider before purchasing.

Things to Consider with a New Air Conditioner

There are several different things to consider when purchasing a new air conditioner:

  • Types of air conditioners available for your property – there are several types of air conditioners available for residential homes, all of which can cool effectively – but knowing which one is best for your property takes more than knowing cooling capacity. Understanding your choices can help determine which type of air conditioner would be best for your home.
  • Knowing how to calculate for proper size – there is one important question that needs to be answered when calculating for the right-size air conditioner: how much cooling does your property really need to stay comfortable? This question requires the calculation of several factors, including insulation levels, square footage, daytime heat gain and more. Failure to complete these important calculations before purchasing a new air conditioner can mean the difference between being comfortable and uncomfortable in your home.
  • Inspect your duct system – just having a duct system does not mean it is ideal for cooling, particularly if the ducts are fairly old. You also need to know what kind of condition your ducts are in, as faulty ductwork can result in up to a 30% air loss. A thorough inspection of your ductwork prior to purchasing an air conditioner is an important step in the installation process.
  • Work with a qualified company – installing an air conditioning system requires knowledge of many mechanical items, special tools and the ability to troubleshoot quickly. A qualified company like Envirotech Air Quality Services does this kind of work every day, ensuring a sound installation for all our customers.

Your air conditioning service in West Palm Beach should be a successful experience that helps your home be as comfortable as possible. This is why it’s important to work with a company and name you can trust: Envirotech Air Quality Services. Give us a call today and let one of our trained experts help you with your West Palm Beach air conditioning installation.
