AIR CONDITION SERVICES

There are different types of air conditioners, each with their own benefits. Here are some of the systems we install and maintain at Bannister:

• Ductless Mini-Split: If your house doesn't have ducts, this type of system is easy to install. It can cool individual areas on demand, not rooms you're not using, to reduce operational costs.
• Central Units: Provides even cooling throughout the home, as well as dehumidification and filtration to improve air quality. A central system can last 10 to 15 years, so you can expect reliable long-term performance.
• Heat pumps: Pull heat from the outside air to heat and cool the interior with the same system. They use less energy than electric air conditioners and combustion heaters and can last up to 15 years.
• Compact units: With a service life of up to 20 years, compact units or rooftop air conditioners save space because they are not installed on the floor. In addition, they have a modular structure and can therefore be expanded or reduced as required.

Air conditioning systems are complex and multifunctional, which is why you need a professional to install all the components. The basic components of a typical system include:

• Ducts: Air ducts distribute air from the air conditioner to different rooms in your home, which enters through vents.
• Compressors: convert the refrigerant into a gaseous form under high pressure; this gas cooling ensures fresh air for living comfort.
• Filter: An air filter removes dust and other contaminants from all air that flows through your HVAC system.
• Motors: The fan motor pushes air through all ducts and vents connected to your HVAC system and into your home.
• Air Handling Units: Indoor components that use a fan to distribute cooled air evenly throughout the home.
• Evaporator coils: Remove heat from the refrigerant flowing through the system, lowering the refrigerant temperature and therefore the air temperature.

Although they may seem like separate components, thermostats are an essential part of your air conditioner. Newer versions include digital thermostats that you can program to set a heating and cooling schedule. Reliable thermostats are installed by our technicians. A Wi-Fi thermostat can be controlled from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

Installing a programmable thermostat is one of our most effective options for reducing air conditioning costs. You can set the device to automatically provide warmer temperatures at night or during the day, so energy and costs are not wasted on unnecessary cooling. Here are some more tips to reduce cooling costs:

• Installing Attic Insulation: Thicker insulation can prevent heated air from rising through your roof and out of your home. It also keeps the air cool in the warmer months.
• Seal your ducts: Leaking ducts waste energy. We can caulk ducts and add insulation in exposed areas to maximize your air conditioner's efficiency
• Using Energy Efficient Window Coverings: Efficient window coverings such as blinds, blinds, and special window films can prevent air from escaping through the glass.
