Air Conditioning Basics
The four main components to your air conditioner are:
Condenser: The condenser is the outside metal unit and where the gas from the compressor is condensed into a liquid. The gas entering the condenser is very hot. The temperature is then lowered, so the gas can convert back to a liquid.
Compressor: The compressor is inside the condenser. It circulates the pressurized refrigerant, to concentrate the heat, and changes the low pressure gas to high pressure.
Evaporator: The evaporator is the part of the system inside the home. In simple language, it absorbs the heat from your home.
Expansion Valve: The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant in your system.
All of these pieces are connected by a copper tube that handles refrigerant, creating a closed loop. Heat is collected in the evaporator, sent outside to the condenser. The heat is removed, and the cool air is recirculated back into your home.
AC Facts
An Air Conditioner Doesn’t Create Cool Air.
What happens in the AC process is actually the removal of heat from the air. Your AC uses a chemical called refrigerant to remove heat and transfer it outside. The warm air runs through the lines and coils in your unit and goes from liquid to gas and back again. During this process, the refrigerant removes the heat and transfers it elsewhere so that when the air comes out the other side, it is cool.
Your AC Will Remove Humidity.
Lower humidity helps the overall comfort level in your home by making you feel cooler, even if the temperature is the same.
Your Air Filter Needs To Be Checked And Replaced Every Three To Six Months.
(depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations)
A dirty air filter restricts your air flow, which reduces efficiency, costing you money, and over time can put stress on your unit and could cause a costly repair.
Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance.
Your air conditioner needs regular checkups to keep it running in tip-top shape. Having regular annual preventative maintenance will bring your system longer life and fewer breakdowns over all.
SEER
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures air conditioning and heat pump cooling efficiency, which is calculated by the cooling output for a typical cooling season divided by the total electric energy input during the same time frame. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency.

“Very positive. Quick, simple, reasonable price.”
– Gary J.
“Dom was great. Asked questions at outset of service call to diagnose problem; upon checking unit, he found all was a-okay. He looked further and identified potential areas for concern (capacitors, surge protector), quoted us prices with and without maintenance agreement, and performed work we authorized promptly, expertly, and efficiently.
In three words, Dom was great. We are glad he is on staff, and that he was assigned to take our service call.
Lisa, in the office, was also personable and efficient. We expected, on calling, that we would have to wait a period of time before a tech would be available to help us. She pleasantly surprised us when she said someone would be out the same afternoon on the day we called.”
– George S.
“Dominick was very thorough, polite and did the maintenance quickly. Since we had just experienced some pack rat activity he was helpful in explaining how to protect our air conditioner from damage.”
– Karen D.
“Had a nice, friendly talk before Cody checked out my system. Because my unit is relatively new, there were no repairs needed. Talked about replacing the air filter which is standard. Cody explained the new filter costs and optional service plan. He checked both the cooling and heating functions and I am very satisfied with his work.”
– Gary J.
“Dominick repaired my AC and it was up and running in less than an hour. He also took the time to answer all my questions. I highly recommend him.”
– Kelly M.
“Our ACS Service Technician Dominick arrived on time, explained the service he would be providing. Carefully washed the air filters, reinserted all into electronic air filter. The filters were wet from washing, it was humid thus they were unable to dry in a timely fashion.
The dry electronic portion of the air filter could not be turned on or unit would be damaged. Dominick showed me how to pug it in, etc. and turn it on.
As I had requested maintenance service and we had a maintenance contract that covered a twice annual visit, he suggested a quarterly coverage contract. Of course we agreed to purchase the upgrade. We said our good-byes and Dominick left.
ACS had installed a new whole house HV/AC system several years ago. Never a problem with the unit. Professional service technicians. We are happy Southern Arizona residents.”
– Melinda R.
“Brian came on time, immediately diagnosed the problem, if fuse had gone bad. He went out to a store and returned. Replaced the fuse and got the machine back working right away.”
