Home Inspections and your air conditioner There are different types of air conditioners, which can be used in your home. We discuss the split-system central air conditioning system typically found in homes. Conditioners are one of the most expensive mechanical systems in your home and have a relatively short lifetime in some climates.
According to the Carson Dunlop training manual, there are some limitations to the controlYour central air conditioning, which you should not test an air conditioner when the air below 65 degrees F or has gone below 65 degrees in the last 24 hours are not to test when the power was turned off for at least 12 to 24 hours because Compressor could take in the most parts of the air are not visible without the plates etc, is beyond the scope of an inspection and the inside coil is usually not visiblecontrol.
Central air conditioners are working with freon gas between two coils. Cool the liquid in the cooling coil contacts warm air from your house and pulls the heat as it evaporates from liquid to a gas. The gas is then compressed by the compressor to temperature of approximately 170 to 230 degrees F, then add in the cooler outside air heat from gas when it is moved through the coil to increase in the open. This liquid, since Cooling to about 95 to 110 degrees F, then, by capillary or restricted by a thermostatic expansion valve brings the temperature back down and then the cycle repeats itself over and over again, cooling your home in the process.
Another function of the air conditioning unit will dehumidify the air. This function is carried as the air passes over the evaporator coil, cooling air in the past, the dew point, the moisture in the converts> Air into condensation. This water is collected in a pot and then so on through the sewer line condensate drain
A well-functioning air-conditioning, the air is 15 to 20 degrees F. To be much cooler, because obviously the dehumidification of air properties. Some air conditioners have a block heater or heating oil pan, heat the oil and release the gas from the lubricant. This can be 12 to 24 hours, so you can not only powercentral air conditioning unit and immediately tested.
I recently came into a situation where a real estate lady who was present for both buyer and seller, said the buyers appear not to worry, because the air conditioning was in perfect working condition. I told the customer that I was not able to unit test, because temperature was below zero at the time of the inspection. Imagine the surprise home buyers, as they moved on and the air conditioning did not work.Check with the agent, was reported to them that it was revealed that air conditioning was working in an uneven manner. They claim that on their last journey through the agent who represented both buyer and seller, reassure them that the air conditioning worked. Your A / C-Tech, the unit inspected for them, told them that the device never worked, for up to two years. Now, the real estate agent would blame me, the home inspector, said she would go home inspectortested unit and the indication that there is no verbal confirmation of the air condition. This is a good example of "CAVET emptor" buyer beware. This local agent has a bad impression on these particular homeowners left who do not feel that they represent their interests. She has also made comments about the home inspection that are unfounded and untrue, but the money will be people strange things. It is so important to the small details in written form, especially to obtainIf your agent was originally the seller represents. That was a lesson for you.
Air conditioning compressors come in five different types, are the (piston) reciprocating: scroll, rotary, centrifugal and screw. Residential scroll compressors are usually piston, rotary or types.
Most air conditioners have a 5-minute delay to avoid when starting unit high-pressure gas is integrated in the system yet. This type of air conditioning usually start with gasequal on each side of the system. Otherwise, wait, can cause damage to compressor. This also applies to their refrigerators or freezers, you should always wait for a 5 minutes before removing it again
The compressor is the courage of the air conditioning and generally the place where most problems occur. Here are some common problems that are identified with compressors, excess noise and vibration, short cycling, high current draw position of the plane, circuit breakers Wrong size,Wiring too small, lack of electrical disconnection, inadequate cooling.
The life expectancy of an air conditioning system can depend on where you live and your climate. You can last as little as 8 to 10 years in hot climates, as long as 15 to 20 years in northern climates. Many older air compressors can replace her, which would significantly extend their life have had.
Tips Read your contract carefully before signing it so that you understand the rightsand obligations of all parties. Never rely on a verbal agreement - agreements must be in writing to be valid.
Place your air conditioner in direct sunlight, especially on the south side of home, where they will be forced to do the work much more difficult his job. Indoor unit coils should be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner or a brush. The outdoor coils should be kept free of grass, leaves, shrubs and other obstacles. Check your manuals for information aboutproper commissioning and operation of their plants. Also make sure that the registers and vents is not restricted or blocked by furniture, curtains, carpets or curtains. Brought to you by Barrie Home Inspector
