You should never have to replace the refrigerant in your system. If you notice low refrigerant levels, it may indicate that you have a leak and your AC may need repairs. Leaks should be fixed before you add more refrigerant to avoid future replacements. Refrigerant leaks may reduce energy efficiency, freeze the evaporator coil or may cause significant damage to the compressor. The compressor is cooled by refrigerant and low levels may cause over-heating or failure. As R-22 refrigerant is considered damaging to the ozone layer, the EPA considers it harmful when released into the environment.

In most cases the answer will be yes. Technically, it may not be necessary, but keeping an old indoor evaporator coil with your new air conditioner may not provide the best energy efficiency possible. New air conditioners advertise the efficiency rating as part of a matched system. Replacing the indoor coil with one that offers the greatest efficiency with your new system will usually save on energy costs. An All Year Cooling air conditioning expert will help you decide if replacing your indoor coil is necessary or would be helpful, and will help you choose a replacement to go with your new air conditioner.

Not necessarily. Oversized equipment may cool your home quicker, but the thermostat will sense that the home has reached the desired temperature before humidity has been effectively removed. Humidity causes most people to feel uncomfortable even if the temperature is at an ideal level, and the added moisture in the air may lead to mold or mildew problems. Of course, units that are too small will struggle to maintain desired temperature levels. An All Year Cooling air conditioning specialist will make sure that the best sized AC unit and proper equipment is installed for optimal performance. Your walls, windows, doors, insulation and other factors will be considered in addition to the size of your home.

Preventative Maintenance keeps your system running at optimal performance and energy efficiency. Your car requires routine oil changes and tire rotations to ensure optimal fuel efficiency and performance. Similarly, your air conditioner requires minor maintenance about twice a year to keep the system running at peak performance. All Year Cooling performs factory recommended maintenance for customers who opt for preventative maintenance agreements. We offer one, two and three year, annual and semi-annual agreements. Some of the tasks we perform include cleaning and inspecting the air filters and condensers, lubricating motors, bearings and other moving parts, check refrigerant level, check heat exchanger, adjust belts where necessary, clean and adjust safety controls, check drain pan and line and many, many more.

How often you change your filter depends on the type of filter, the room conditions and how much you use your air conditioning system. Disposable filters should be replaced every month. Some washable filters should be cleaned every month depending on usage. CleanEffects, available with most Trane units, features an innovative filtration system that requires its filters to be cleaned every three to nine months. Make sure that you keep up with filter changing and cleaning. Failing to do so may result in reduced efficiency and cooling capacity
