AIR CONDITIONING

Air Conditioning with Environmental Contractors

Unlike a small, insulated space, air conditioning systems work by cooling a whole room. The chemicals easily change state and transfer heat from a house's interior to the outside air.

The Air Conditioner system consists of four main parts, the condenser, compressor, evaporator, and metering device. The first two components are outside the Condensing Unit. The last two are inside the house, known as the Air Handler/Furnace, which also acts as part of the heating system.

In the form of cool gas at low pressure, the refrigerant comes into the compressor from the evaporator inside. The compressor then squeezes the vapor refrigerant, thus compressing its molecules. This process raises the refrigerant’s temperature and energy.
The cool gas transforms into a hot gas at high pressure, leaves the compressor, and is channeled into the condenser. There are metal fins all around any air conditioner exterior. They help dissipate the heat rapidly. The refrigerant’s temperature is much lower upon exiting the condenser, which changes the refrigerant from a gas into a liquid. Then it finds its way into the metering through a tiny aperture. The pressure of the liquid falls on the other side. Which causes the liquid refrigerant to evaporate into a gaseous form. The liquid extracts heat from the air going through the evaporator.

It is usually in the form of a cool gas at low pressure when the working refrigerant leaves the evaporator. It’s then returned to the compressor, and the processor starts again. The evaporator contains a fan that circulates the air inside the house so that it blows across its fins. With hot air being lighter than cool air, it rises to the top of the room. Your return/filter vent sucks the air into the air conditioner's ducts. After a while, it comes for a heat exchange process; then, the air is blown into the house through the supply ducts, which are generally located in the ceiling.

The process continues until the room’s wanted temperature is attained. This is usually set at the thermostat and switches off the unit when this happens. The thermostat starts the AC when the room starts warming up again.

Air Conditioning Information

Quality Installations

The average air conditioning unit lasts about 10 to 15 years; the cost of repairing your unit could be very expensive. In some cases, you're better off getting a more efficient unit rather than hoping yours will last a few more years. Modern units are equipped to handle cooling demands more efficiently than older models, so if you're looking to lower your utility bill, Environmental Contractors can install a new unit today.


We sell and install Bryant air conditioning systems. You can choose from several energy-efficient models to find the right one to cool your home effectively. During installation, a professional will then take the time to explain the benefits of the unit and how best to take care of your new air conditioning system.
