Shopping for an Air Conditioning Replacement Shreveport can be intimidating for some folks. For some it can be a once in a lifetime event. Our repair experts are trained to translate “tech talk” and give you the Plain-English version of what you need. The cooling efficiency of AC Systems are measured by SEER, which stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. SEER Ratings normally range from 14 SEER to around 24 SEER (and higher). By comparing the various levels, you’re able to get an idea of the efficiency rating of a system.

Modern cooling systems operate by pressurizing coolant (freon), while forcing air through an evaporator, producing cool air. High Efficiency Systems take advantage of sensor technology, improved mechanics & “learning” in order to use less energy, save on operating costs & have less maintenance. Trade off is that high efficiency systems generally have a greater up-front cost compared to a standard efficiency system.

Split System – Cooling System with separate heating and cooling components, also called “straight cool”. A separate furnace must be installed for heating. This is the most common type of Air Conditioning Replacement Shreveport.

Heat Pump Systems – Heating and Cooling in which refrigerant flow can be reversed to both heat and cool a home.

Ductless System – Also known as a Mini-Split. Ideally used in home additions, smaller spaces or where there is inadequate space for required ductwork, or zone cooling is necessary. Some Mini-Splits can be straight cool, others are heat pumps that do both heating and cooling functions.

Package Systems – An all-in one heating and cooling system. Most often used for commercial buildings or situations where there is limited room for the needed equipment.

 

Which HVAC Parts Should be Replaced?

• Thermostat – Controls the temperature and operating mode of the system.
• Refrigerant – A chemical compound which allows for heat transfer in an HVAC system. Also known as “freon”. Increasing the pressure of the refrigerant, causes the temperature of the refrigerant to cool.
• Condenser – Designed to dissipate heat carried by the circulating refrigerant. It is the part of the unit that is located outside of the dwelling and it contains a system of coils and the Condenser.
• Compressor – A pump which pressurizes the refrigerant allowing it to flow between the coils, usually located outside of the building being cooled. The Compressor is located inside of the Condenser and is the heart of an HVAC System.
• Evaporator – Usually located within a sealed duct in an attic or closet. When a system is set to “cool”, the fan blows air over the coils containing the cold refrigerant. This is the process which cools the air.
• Ductwork – A sealed air pathway which allows for air circulation throughout a dwelling.
• Fan motors – An electric motor which drives the air circulation in an HVAC system.
• Furnace – When the system is set to “heat”, heating elements activate or natural gas burners ignite, depending if the furnace is electric or natural gas. Heated air is then circulated by the fan (instead of cool air).
