If you remembered to have professional maintenance for your air conditioning system at the beginning of the year, you’ve likely had a trouble-free summer with your home cooling. However, the end of the summer is the most hazardous time of the year for an AC, even if it’s had a proper tune-up and inspection. With the heat still beating down, often hotter than ever, and an air conditioner having already gone through several months of hard work, the risk of a cooling system breaking down is higher. We recommend you pay close attention to how your AC is running and even consider a new ac installation. Either way, call us as soon as anything seems wrong.

Here are some common issues that can strike an AC during the dog days of summer.

The compressor is the literal heart of an air conditioning system. It’s responsible for the circulation of refrigerant that allows the AC to move heat from inside a house to outside. Without a working compressor, an AC is nothing more than a large fan moving around room-temperature air. The compressor is also a powerful and expensive component. When a compressor fails, the conventional wisdom is that it’s better to replace the entire AC rather than invest in replacing the compressor.

An air conditioning installation in Shreveport, LA should always be left to professionals. The work involved in putting a new central air conditioning system into a home is far too complex for an amateur, and it risks voiding the warranty. But one of the most important jobs that a professional does when installing an AC takes place before the actual installation: finding the right size of air conditioner.

Professionals go through several steps to properly size a new air conditioner so that it matches the specific cooling requirements of a house.
