Improving Air Quality With HVAC Systems

The air quality inside a home is important for the health of the family. Excess dust and other pollutants in the air can have a negative effect on people, especially those who have breathing issues or allergies. Hi, my name is Ted, and before I had my home's HVAC system upgraded, I experienced bad allergies inside my house. A friend told me how some heating and air conditioning units have ventilating properties that work to clean the air inside a home. These units remove all kinds of pollutants in the air, such as smoke, odors, dust, and bacteria, that can cause allergy symptoms. After the HVAC contractor fixed up my system, I could breathe better, and my allergies weren't as bad. I wrote this blog to inform other people about HVAC systems and how they can promote cleaner air inside the home.

What Can Cause Your AC Compressor To Overheat?

Posted on 25 October 2022

Your air conditioner's compressor is the hardest working part of your home's air conditioning system. This mechanical component is similar to a pump, but its design means it can only move gases, not liquids. Compressing the refrigerant vapor increases its pressure significantly, requiring your compressor to draw a substantial amount of energy and produce quite a lot of heat. Like any machine with moving parts, too much heat can cause your compressor to fail by reducing the effectiveness of its internal lubrication, wearing out bearings, and ultimately causing mechanical failure.
