The efficiency of your heating and cooling system is determined by a ratio standard established by the EPA known as “SEER” or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. As governmental regulations states the “SEER” rating of an A/C system must meet a minimum standard of 14 SEER. For an air conditioning system to be considered “high efficiency” the “SEER” rating must be between 18 -21 “SEER.” At Ron’s Appliance, Heating & Air, Inc. we will design an A/C system perfect to your needs and financial budget.

There are four factors that play a vital role in your overall comfort. If one has been compromised in any way, the results will be a loss in efficiency in your air conditioning and heating system.

1. Temperature – To the consumer temperature is the beginning and the end of the discussion when comfort is the concern. However, in reality, the temperature is only the beginning.
2. Clean & Fresh Air – A dusty home can drastically affect the efficiency of your system and your comfort. You can rely on us to suggest an air cleaner that will bring exceptional results especially for those who suffer from allergies and asthma.
3. Humidity – During the winter months when the air is dry, static electricity and dry itchy skin are always an issue. If you add humidity then you remove the uncomfortable feelings of dry skin. In the summer months if the humidity is removed then the air is not sticky and the summers are more enjoyable.
4. System Control – When talking to clients, we often hear the same complaint of inconsistent temperatures from room to room, A digital thermostat will distribute air evenly. At Ron’s Appliance, Heating & Air, Inc. we will recommend a thermostat designed for your needs.

Plainly stated, air to air heat pump has the capability of reversing its cycle to provide heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. This “switching” mechanism is designed to remove the natural heat from outdoors and bring it inside in the winter. Due to the fact that the air source is not actually creating heat, but moving it from one place to another, a heat pump can be an extremely cost-effective solution opposed to an electrically powered system which does generate heat.

The evaporator or cooling coil is located in the unit inside the home. As it creates condensation by removing moisture from the air, a drain pan will normally collect the water. However, if the drain line becomes clogged, then a leak occurs from the overflow. Some causes for a drain line to become clogged include algae build-up, crimped lines, settled wood platforms, snakes or other animals or just bad system maintenance.

When your system begins to repeat its repairs or when there are major repairs, then it is more cost-effective to replace the system entirely. Upon consultation, our experts will recommend the most cost-effective solution to fit your needs. If replacement becomes the best long-term decision, you can always have the peace of mind that we will not only customize your new system but provide a variety of financing options to fit your budget.

Changing your filters is actually a personal need task. Depending on your frequency of use, whether you have smokers in the home, the time of year and many other factors, you should check your filters at least every 30 days. The “golden rule” is always the cleaner the better. Dirty filters not only affect the efficiency of your system but also your health.
