Are There Any Poisonous Gases That Come From a Broken Air Conditioner?

Freon has a very offensive odor, so if what you smelled was just a funny smell, you did not smell freon. In a tightly in closed area freon could maybe make you nauseous, not likely to kill you. Just open the windows and air out the place and you will be all right.

OH, call the maintenance guys and report it. they can tell you whether or not to turn it back on, personally I would turn it on and see what happens

air conditioner not functioning correctly?

Your house will hold heat at night with the windows and doors shut.

do not open the doors and window however, because you will let the humidity back inside. causing the airconditioner to have to work that much harder to remove the humidity. 65 degrees is an unrealistic temperature to set the thermostat to because it will never get the house that cool.

when ever you have the temperature set on the thermostat lower than the actual temperature in the house the a/c will run causing the temp to go down

How do I figure the proper amount of intake area for my central air conditioner?

Your house already had heat loss calculations done, I'm supposing, and has existing air returns. That should be good enough.

A better air return for your cooling needs is high registers.(hot air rises).Cool your hot air(second floor), not your cooler (basement) air.

Cooling capacity sizes eg., 1 1/2 ton for a 1,000 sq. ft.

house is the only other thing you need to know if you are installing air onto a heat only system. As I said to someone else earlier, set your air registers to cool only where necessary, sealing or partially closing rooms you don't need it in. (different than winter heat requirements.

Central Air Conditioner not Colling House?

The installing AC company has already given you the answer to your question: "The AC company who installed the units stated that it is not reasonable to expect the indoor temperature to cool any less than 15 degrees less than the outside temperature (meaning 95 degrees outside, the AC unit is working fine if its 80 indoors).

" You can only expect an AC unit to do so much. Besides, warm air rises so the upstairs will always be warmer than downstairs. And the insulation in your attic could also be a factor

When the air conditioner runs, water leaks on the floor?

Condensation drain could be getting clogged ; check to see if filter is clean and drain port or hole in the rear of ac is open. If it is not obvious to see the obstruction then you will have to pull the ac ; remove or pull condenser shroud away from condenser ; wash condenser (rear coil) (evaporator) front coil and evaporator fan (this will increase airflow).

Then make sure all cold water slime and debris is washed out of all openings to evaporator; be careful to not bend fins. This should be done once a year as maintanence

where can i go to rent an air conditioner?

You might find window air conditioner unit to rent, if that is your question.

You might would want to contact your local rent centers for one that might be available. I doubt if you would be able to find a central air conditioner to rent, there are too many connections and other maintenance requirements. You might google central air conditioner rental followed by the city and state in which you reside to find out any results.

AI hope this has been of some benefit to you,good luck. "FIGHT ON"

Janitrol central air conditioner?

I worked for a Air Conditioning firm for a few years.

One year I asked them if they could give me some freon since my air conditioner wasn't cooling as much as it used to. They all started laughing. They said air conditioners were like fridges.

.unless there is a leak, no need for freon. What they did tell me to do was what they do to portable air conditioners.

Take the back off.spray everywhere with a hose on high. Let dry, clean the filter or buy a new one.

put the back on and install. That advice would cost you $150. 00 to get it done professionally.

Is it against the law in Alabama to buy an air conditioner unit and have a license mechanic/etc to install it?

Huh? What part of this do you think might be illegal?

The air conditioner? Having somebody install it? If you're renting and your lease doesn't let you install an air conditioner then it's not illegal but it might get you kicked out of the place.

EDIT: You can buy whatever kind of air conditioner you want without the law getting involved. If it's central air you probably want a professional to do it. If it's just a window unit then you can easily do that by yourself, though you might want somebody to help you if it's heavy.

central air conditioner help?

I think it's bad for ur central air conditioner to switch from heaters to air conditioners. bc when u turn on the gas heaters, the gas furnaces heats up the evaporator coil.

And if u switch it directly to cool, probably the refrigerant heats up as it passes evaporator coils heated by gas furnaces. that's why u feel hot on the cold bigger line. I suggest u keep the fan on for at least 15 min to cool the evaporator coils down after using heaters before u turn on ur central air conditioner

My central air conditioner died at the start of triple digit temperatures.

Should I repair or replace?

Go with a new unit to get the better efficiency and warranty benefits. Brand doesn't matter much.

The deciding factor should be the company that installs it. Make sure a Manual J load calculation is performed followed by Manual S and Manual D procedures and you will be fine. NEVER install a new outdoor unit on a 20 year old indoor coil.

You may kill the new outdoor unit and will not get the efficiency that you paid for. If your budget allows, get the entire system replaced.

If I want to turn my air conditioner on, should it be set on Auto, On or Fan?

auto that way the compressor cycles of and on to cool the home and the fan keeps the cool air circulated between compressor cycles. it cost less $$$$ to leave on auto because the compressor doesn't have to work as hard to keep home cooled. if you have ceiling fans turn them on so that the air is pulled from the floor to ceiling to help cool the rooms you need it the most in.

remember cool air sinks and hot air rises. also keep the filter clean/changed on ac unit

Central air conditioner compressor (which is only a few years old) trips circuit on Very hot days?

I'd agree that the circuit breaker is the cheapest repair.

but if the unit is overcharged it may build up enough head pressure to make the amp draw higher than the circuit breaker rating. It needs to be looked at when the temps are high to see if the amps climb. A good technician can check the charge either by superheat for a fixed orifice system or subcooling for a TXV system, if the temperature is above 60 degrees.

I've seen weak breakers, and weak A/C techs.

Central air conditioner was broken by no filter changing.

The breaker is an electrical problem.

Basically that wouldn't be caused by a bad filter. The only way I can see a dirty filter causing the problem, and the filter would have to have been very plugged so air wasn't getting through, would be if there was so little air movement the coil froze so much that it dripped water on the blower motor and caused a short. In that case it might work again once it dries out.

Cost depends on what failed so I can't help with that. Good Luck.

Should I install my Air Conditioner by myself?

It's not too hard, but it pays to have a professional come out and do it. They will help you get the right size/capacity for your house, they'll get it installed in a good spot, leveled correctly, they'll adjust the ducting to balance airflow so your kitchen isn't 50 degrees while your bedroom is 96, get a new thermostat installed and working right. They can even get you on a bi-annual (or so) service plan to recharge your A/C so it stays effective.

Is it cheaper to run air conditioners then central air units?

needed air is your greater desirable determination for perfect indoors climate. As grow to be suggested, the HVAC gadget no longer in hassle-free terms cools the homestead, it circulates the air in it, filters the air rather, and pulls moisture out of the homestead.

My air conditioner isn't taking out humidity?

Listen,. its just about time for a pre-season tune up anyway. (window unit or central) If you have not had regular service done, then you are neglecting it.

That is why we preach & preach bi-annual service; its NOT just so we can find something to charge you for. -so we can find problems BEFORE they become expensive problems. Its to keep your unit in peak performance condition, running efficiently & reliably for years and years.

-So it won't strand you when its 105 degrees or when its 15 degrees.

What is the smallest air conditioner I can find for a window?

A 'small window AC will take six hundred-800 of those Watts with the compressor working.

the complication is the commencing surge while the compressor 'kicks in'. digital inverters do unlike surges and overloads. extra suited not have extra beneficial than one thousand 'different' Watts linked whilst that AC is working.

That AC additionally will run your battery down a lot swifter than you're used to seeing it take place. the better drain fee decreases the completed ability available from any given battery set. undergo in techniques, 5 A, @ 120V.

would be 50A. @ 12 V. what share amp hours on your batteries?

What temperature do they keep the A/C in Saudi Arabia?

.

I can't say the temperature of the aircon but the settings on my room is the thermostat is on # 5 (from 1-10, 10 the coolest) and the level of power is switch to # 1 (from 1-3, 3 the highest).but of course in the malls and other shops, the A/C is maximum. .

I think its very rare for any family who doesnt have A/C in their homes because it is very hot esp. on months of July to August where it reaches more than 50 degrees Celsius. Nobody can sleep without A/C, so I doubt if there are people who doesnt have A/C.

even the poor have it.
