the difference between air conditioning and air conditioner?
Q. Could you please tell me the difference between air conditioning and air conditioner? I knew that we can say that "this car comes with an air conditioning" . How about the following sentence: Does your apartment has an air conditioning /conditioner? Does this building has an central air conditioning system?

Can an air conditioning attached to the furnace in your house blow up?
Q. Every once in a while you hear of bgger industrial air conditionings on sky scrapers or commercial buildings getting old, and then people reposrt a big bang, and the air conditioning blows up. Can this happen to a house airconditioning??? And what signs should you look for when you try your air conditioning out for the first time in the spring after a cold canadian winter?

A. Dan and Irv are right. Your home A/C unit isn't likely yo explode on you. Your water heater however... that is a different story. The first thing you should do before you fire up your A/C is to make sure it warm enough outside. Operating the unit when it is below, say 55F (13C) is inviting liquid refrigerant to damage your compressor. Slugging is the term. Other things to check: - Clean filter - Clean condenser (outside) coil. Just hose it down. Be careful not to bend or damage the fins. If it looks really dirty, then call for a service tech to do it. They will come armed with a foaming coil cleaner that will fix it right up. - How's your evaporator (inside) coil? Be honest now. How many times has the furnace been run with a… [cont.]

Does air conditioning in a car have different effects on different size motors?
Q. What would help a car not burn so much gas when running the air conditioning? In other words, if the gas consumption is awful with a (let's just say) 307 c.i.d. engine will it "NOT" be so bad with a 350 crate motor (tuned for a nice output of horsepower) or a restored Cadillac 500 c.i.d. engine? What are the variable specifics on whether or not an a/c compressor (or system for that matter) will take a considerable toll on a car fuel tank and mileage? I just figure it was some kind science to the whole thing.

Is the air-conditioning unit connected to electrical power supply?
Q. That is, if your electricity was to get knocked out, does that mean your air-conditioning unit will stop working as well? Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but I really don't know, lol. Thanks in advance. No need to get snippy. I just want to know if it gets power from the same line that you hook up your fridge and TV and everything else to, or if it has a separate electrical line.
Asked by Ruby - Sat Jul 21 15:09:17 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I'll assume your referring to a central A/C system. Either way the answer is yes. A window unit is self contained but a central, or whole house, system has two separate power sources. A 220v circuit for the condensing unit (the outside unit) and a 110v circuit for the blower unit. This could be a separate air handler or the furnace blower itself. There's also a control circuit, usually 24v but it's transformer is part of the 110v circuit of the blower unit. If your electricity is "knocked out" you should shut your A/C unit off until power is restored to prevent damage to compressor.

Can a dog be okay without air conditioning during the summer in an apt?
Q. We might be moving into a huge 2,000 sq ft warehouse loft next month, but it does not have air conditioning. We have a dog and 2 cats. We live in Philadelphia so it gets hot in the summer. There is a huge fan up on the high ceiling and we will probably put an air conditioner in the window in the bedroom area, since there are walls around the bedroom. For the most part, it wont be air conditioned. I am worried that the dog will pass out or get over-heated. Should I be worried?

A. Dogs and cats can overheat easily. Use a floor fan along with the ceiling fan. You can also buy air conditioners that can roll around the house. Keep plenty of fresh water out so they can hydrate.

What is the difference between air conditioning and air recirculation?
Q. Air conditioning costs more but what exactly is the difference between the two systems? Is air recirculation effective at cooling or heating the vehicle interior on hot or cold days?
Asked by KtheK - Wed Sep 17 06:28:18 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Air Recirculation and/or the Max A/C button do the same thing. They close off the vents that let fresh air into the car from the base of the windshield. Air Recirculation should be combined with A/C usage, which is why on some cars (older domestic US cars in particular) it's labled Max A/C. Air Recirc setting helps the air conditioner system by recirculating already cooler air through the system, rather then trying to take warmer outside air and cool it down. You can use it with heat, but on some cars (older Japanese and German cars in the US) they aren't set-up to run the A/C compressor in defrost mode. Any moisture at all will cause your windows to fog, all of them, unless you also turn on the A/C button too. A/C doesn't really… [cont.]

Why doesnt the air conditioning or heating work in my '92 Buick Lesabre?
Q. I have a 92 buick lesabre. About four months ago my air conditioning stopped working. By that, I mean that it would blow air, but the air wouldnt be cold. Then yesterday my heater stopped working in the same way, so now my car blows the same temp air out the vents regardless of the setting. Any help narrowing down the source would be great!
Asked by Jennifer K - Wed Apr 4 00:07:59 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The A/C problem and the heater problem are probably not related... but could be. They are both electrically controlled by the HIVAC control head. The cause of your A/C not blowing cold could be caused by alot of different things. The lack of heat also. On your lack of heat issue... There is something simple that you yourself may be able to check, that is, your coolant level in the radiator. If your coolant level is low (from a leak) there may not be enough coolant to circulate through the heater core and this may be the cause of your lack of heat. Make sure the engine is cold before attempting to check or have anyone else check the coolant level. If the coolant level is low you will need to have the source of the leak fixed.

Who replaces air conditioning and coolant hoses?
Q. I've been having some problems with my car. It's a 2001 Ford Taurus and it's in pretty good condition except lately its hoses have been leaking. The coolant hose leaks really bad, also my air conditioning has a hose that leaks freon (sp?) faster than I can put it in. Since it's nearly summer here in Louisiana, I want to fix my AC!

How to dismantle dashboard to access air conditioning ducts?
Q. Would like to know how to dismantle the dashboard in a 2000 GMC Safari van to get access to dislodge the stuck door in the air conditioning ducts. The air conditioning only blows through the defroster vent, and no other vents in the van.

Does using the air conditioning in my car increase the amount of fuel used?
Q. Does using the air conditioning in my car increase the amount of fuel used? And also, by how much? for example, if it does increase the amount of fuel used, is it a negliable amount? or is it rather significant?

Is it possible for a home air conditioning unit to be the cause of its coils going bad?
Q. My Mom owns a Trane air conditioning unit and has had nothing but problems with it. She had the coil replaced on it a couple of years ago. Now a technician is telling her that the coils are bad again. They are telling her that there is something in the environment, her sprinkler system (sulfur), which is causing it to go bad. Does this explanation sound feasible? She uses well water for her sprinkler system but has had this sprinkler system for nearly 20 years. Before she had to get a new unit about 3 years ago she never had problems with the coil. Is it possible that the air conditioning unit itself could be causing the coils to go bad? i.e, a Freon leak or something.

A. Absolutely NO. I am sorry to say that many people like to lie about stuff that you dont know about and EXTORT money from you.The refrigerant contains oil which moves through the system with the refrigerant and a leak in the coil is very rare unless hit with a lawnmower or such. Also a leak can be repaired but ther is no profit in it and it takes time.I am an HVACRR Tech, 15 years and have heqard it all. You are welcome to contact me and I would love to have the Tech. (supposed) explain it to me!!! I will give you my phone number to have him call.
