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.

At Perfection Heating & Air Conditioning, we provide all the services you need to keep your AC running in top-notch shape. Call us at 651.777.7620 for repairs, maintenance, or new-system installation.

Air Conditioner Installation MN 55330

“Your guys are great they did answer all the questions and help with overall AC usage. I would highly recommend perfection.”
- James H.

Air Conditioner Installation in St. Paul, MN 55104

“We recently moved into our 1911 two-story craftsman, which of course had hot water heat and no AC. We chose a ducted mini split with one air handler in the basement for the first floor and the second air handler in our walk-up attic for the second floor bedrooms.

Mike and Dalton did the installation. Each day of the project, we were absolutely amazed at their craftsmanship and attention to detail. The registers and returns look fantastic. In the basement and attic, all the ductwork is beautifully tucked out of the way with no lost headroom. It truly is a work of art. And, best of all, our closets are untouched! I can’t believe how quiet the system is – you can barely hear it.

They finished just before the first big heat wave in June, thank goodness. And, a month later everything is working perfectly.

We highly recommend Perfection Heating & Air Conditioning. If you get get Mike and Dalton, that’s a bonus! Your dogs will love them.”

Derek and Justin were both efficient, courteous, and informative when they installed the new unit. Would recommend Perfection services in a heartbeat. Thanks!”
