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.

How much does it cost each month for Central Air Conditioner?

Are you going to rent it? If you have it and don't use it, it is free.

If you have it in Alaska in the winter, it is free. I used to pay over $300 per month, probably, for that part of my electric bill in Florida in the summer. But you don't know anything about where/how I lived.

Believe it or not, it depends upon where you live, how big the house is, how efficient the a/c is, what temperature you keep the house at, who is doing what in the house, the insulation of the house, the orientation of the house, and other things

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.

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.

different window gadgets are undesirable approximately including humidity. yet another undertaking with a single room air conditioner in a one thousand SqFt homestead could be perfect cooling exterior of that room. till the home is desperate up with an open format it won't good cool something previous the room wherein it is located

Why a central air conditioner is installed outside a house and not in basement?

in case you have a efficient heating equipment, that's lots greater reasonably priced than in case you have baseboards because of the reality that one and all ductwork is already in place. in maximum cases, a efficient heater could be converted to do the two heating and cooling. the fee of installation of the equipment relies upon on what sort and how super the compressor desires to be.

call for estimates and get 3 or greater estimates and a assertion of artwork earlier you sign a freelance for the installation. a assertion of artwork will lay out how the installer plans on installation the equipment and what warrantees are in place on the workmanship and on the unit

Is there any solar powered central air conditions available ?

I'm not aware of any strictly solar-powered central air conditioners.

There are small air conditioners that are solar powered, but you would really need to have a good reason for it. If the house or business already has central air, then the best move is to do grid-tied solar, if at all. That way, the panels are producing electricity all year round, and contributing to the place's general electric supply.

For example, in the winter, when the A/C is turned off, the solar power might go into the washing machine or whatever else is running. My neighbor's brother did just that - put in solar to offset the energy of the central A/C.

Do I need a permit of any kind to install a central air conditioning unit myself?

Anytime you do work that requires installing new electric lines you're probably going to need a permit and inspections. The main reason I'd suggest getting it inspected is to find anything that might have been done that wasn't according to code. There are ways to do things that will work just fine, but won't pass code.

This isn't a problem unless you decide to sell the house and the inspector finds something or if there were a problem such as a fire or major leak and an insurance adjuster came in and found something done not to code and denied a claim because of it

Quick Question: Central air conditioner pops and turns off?

i've got examine a pair of surveys on that challenge and the outcomes have been you will possibly get greater effective mileage with a/c off using around city besides the shown fact that it did no longer incredibly say how plenty. With the value of gas it incredibly is advisable to replenish and write mileage down and run a week or so with a/c off and do same with a/c on and learn mpg.

The survey did instruct there wasn't plenty differance at highway speeds because of the fact the abode windows down interfered with the areodynamics of the motor vehicle.

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 does it mean when your central air conditioner stops blowing air?

Is the blower motor not operating or just no air flow ?

It is possible that moisture in the air is freezing up on the evaporator. This would block the air flow. Once it is turned off for a few minutes, the ice melts allowing the air flow through.

(ever see the puddles of water under a car once it is turned off. that is the ice melting off of the evaporator). Not sure of how you could fix it, normally there is enough warmer air passing over the evaporator to keep it from freezing up.

Might try setting your thermostat to a warmer setting, letting it "cycle" off more often.

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.

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

my fan on my central air conditioner is not turning?

It does not matter if it is your condensor (outside) or blower motor (inside).

There are few things that could be wrong with it that would cause it to blow slow. The most likely answer is that your motor has lost a speed (if you know what you are doing you could shift to another speed and limp by for this season) or your bearings are going out and you will need a new motor. Depending on who you get and what kind of motor it is you are looking at 150 to 300 dollars.

As the Oklahoma person said location and provider make all the difference. (The two parts were most likely a motor and a capacitor).

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.)

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.

Mismatched or Improvement Central Air?

It will not work right.You can go as much as a half ton larger only on the indoor coil than the outdoor coil and actually get more latent heat removal but when you get any larger than that ,it just doesn't work right.Your split will be off,your pressures will be off,and it won't cool right.

With or without a different TXV and regardless of blower speed. I've experimented with it on many ocassions.Find a 4 and 1/2 ton coil and it will work like a dream.

Good luck. You could also easily destroy a good compressor with a 4 ton condenser and a 5 ton evaporator coil in a short time.

what causes an inside air conditioner unit to leak water onto the floor?

That's condensation from the A/C removing humidity from the air. There should be a hose that runs from the unit, shut it down, look where the hose is attached, and see if you can unclog it. Maybe you can push a coat hanger in or something.

If the hose goes into a small black box that has another coming out, that's a condensate pump. Make sure the pump is plugged in, and has power to it. If it does, and it's full of water, either the pump is no good, the float switch is no good, or the float switch could be hung-up on some debris.

Or it could be what Zacharia said. You can do it.

my central air conditioner will not turn on?

You've listed your question in the Cars & Transportation > Maintenance & Repairs section. You'd probably get a better response and set of answers if you relist your question in the Home & Garden > Maintenance & Repairs section. If your fan normally worked when you turned it on from the thermostat without the air conditioner running, then your motor could be bad or there is an electrical problem somewhere.

But, if the fan only runs when the AC is on, the AC may be low or out of the freon coolant or the fuses/circuit breakers inside the unit may be blown/tripped. Your best bet would be to have someone that knows about them take a look. Best of luck.
