Welcome to airconditionmission3.com where you can find all things related to the world of Air Conditioners. Air conditioning. What a lifesaver. It has made the suburbs possible. Manufacturing from the north to the south occurred because plants could be built and people could work in them without collapsing from the heat. Its cost at one point, however, drew one scientist, William Schockley the co-inventor of the transistor, to move his research facilities to California, to what later became known as Silicon Valley. There he did not have to put air conditioning in his building. Even when air-conditioning was purposely avoided, it had an impact.

So it started out as a way of making people comfortable. Right? Well, not exactly. In 1882, thanks to Thomas Edison, the first electric power plant opened in New York making it possible for the first time to have an inexpensive source of energy for residential and commercial buildings. And by 1889, central station refrigeration was used in large cities to preserve foods and documents. It was well known that a cool surrounding could preserve foods and other perishables for a long time. But what was not well known was how humidity and heat were related. Then in 1902, Willis Carrier built the first air conditioner to combat humidity inside a printing company. Controlling the humidity in printing companies and textile mills was the start of environment management.

  
  

Regular Air Conditioning Maintenance

02/07/12

Neglecting necessary maintenance ensures a steady decline in air conditioning performance while energy use steadily increases.

Keeping your system properly maintained will lower energy and repair costs, prevent breakdowns and prolong the life of your equipment. Some maintenance jobs should be left to the professionals, but there is much that you, as a homeowner, can do to prolong the life of your equipment, keeping it running at peak efficiency.

Air Conditioner Filters

The most important maintenance task that will ensure the efficiency of your air conditioner is to routinely replace or clean its filters. Clogged, dirty filters block normal airflow and reduce a system's efficiency significantly. With normal airflow obstructed, air that bypasses the filter may carry dirt directly into the evaporator coil and impair the coil's heat-absorbing capacity. Filters are located somewhere along the return duct's length. Common filter locations are in walls, ceilings, furnaces, or in the air conditioner itself.

Some types of filters are reusable; others must be replaced. They are available in a variety of types and efficiencies. Clean or replace your air conditioning system's filter or filters every month or two during the cooling season. Filters may need more frequent attention if the air conditioner is in constant use, is subjected to dusty conditions, or you have fur-bearing pets in the house. If you use a disposable type filter, it's always wise to keep several spares inside the house.
