Efficient A/C Operation Is in the Hands of Both the HVAC Installer and the Homeowner

There’s a lot you can do to get the most out of your air conditioning. You can change your air filters, seal any air leaks around your home, set your thermostat back when you’re out for a long time, and make sure the shade on your property is working with you, not against you. But if you’re really looking for efficient A/C operation (and you should be– make your money go toward fun summer activities, not your cooling bill!), you need to make sure you’re working with the best HVAC professionals from the very beginning.

Air conditioners have a lot of parts that all need to work together to keep you cool. The indoor evaporator coil has a specific amount of air it can handle, and the air handler need to deliver that. (Too much air, and the A/C can’t remove moisture fast enough. Too little, and the unit ices up.) The ducts need to be sized right so they’re delivering just enough air to the living areas of your house.

The installation as a whole also needs to be sized for the amount of coolable space in your home: too small an installation and your house will never cool off, and too large an installation and it will cool off too fast and the A/C will shut off. (This means that your temperature will be pinballing between a bit too cool and just warm enough to trigger the A/C again, probably with a lot of noise and blasts of air from your vents. Not good.)

What’s more, an installation that started out with efficient A/C operation can change as the years go by. Maybe you installed energy-recovery ventilators or sealed up air leaks, or maybe you improved your ventilation or installed insulated windows. That might mean that your home holds its temperature more efficiently, meaning you need a smaller installation these days than you did before.

Cliff is the best service technician I’ve ever had.
Several months prior I worked with Craig on getting one of several quotes for our aging system. I felt very comfortable with Craig and Scott's overall. A few major storms blew through and we decided to wait a bit longer till the system died and could leverage a home warranty we had. Luck would have it that this occured on the first major cold snap right before thanksgiving. It was black Friday (months later) and I texted Craig. He responded quickly and got the ball rolling so I could be warm(or cold depending on the day) again.Install day came and the installers were polite, efficient, and clean.Post install support is awesome as well. I thought I heard an issue with the outdoor unit a week later and they sent someone right over and gave it a full sanity check.I'm so glad to have gone with Scott's and will recommend them to all my friends should they have any needs for their HVAC systems.
