Sounds Your AC SHOULD Make

Monday, July 18th, 2022

Hmm… That can’t be write. Don’t we usually talk about noises that your air conditioner should never make? How can we turn things around and talk about sounds your AC should make if it’s supposed to be quiet?

Well, the truth is that no appliance is ever really silent. Even air conditioners, for as quiet as they can be, should make some relatively low noises that facilitate the cooling process. After all, they’re doing a pretty considerable amount of work to cool your home down, so that would be quite an amazing feat of technology to have them work in complete silence.

Until that day comes, the important thing to remember as an AC owner is that your system should only make quiet, comfortable noises like the ones listed below. If you notice any strange or disconcerting noises coming from the system, then we urge you to call us for AC repair in Wellington.

Ice on Your AC Is Never Good

Monday, July 4th, 2022

If you’re the owner of an air conditioner, then you might already be aware of the fact that it doesn’t use ice to cool your home. Air conditioners, just like other household appliances, use electricity to run a compressor and cool the air of your home. The moment ice enters this equation, you’re in for a rough time.

In fact, human beings haven’t used ice to cool the space in their homes for a long time. It’s not because it’s aesthetically unappealing (some people love the look of icicles), but it’s because it just doesn’t work very well. Ice only cools objects, liquids, and the immediate space around it. Air conditioners need to cool tons of air throughout your home, which requires a more efficient method.

So, keep reading to learn why spotting ice growing on your air conditioner’s coil is almost always a bad thing that requires AC repairs in Wellington.
