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?

What would cause the air conditioning to be permanently on in a focus?
Q. What would cause the air conditioning to be permanently on in a ford focus? Even though the air con is switched off, very cold air is comming out the air vents when it should just be cool air from outside (unheated). I switched it on and off and it seems to have stayed off this time but there must have been something causing it to remain on. (using a lot more fuel)

A. Is the switch broke, does it feel "right" If it does, you have a wiring problem. If you want to cut it off temp, there is a two wire connecter on the dryer, that is the thermos looking thing under the hood. you can take that loose and probably shut it off. Good Luck

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.

Why do my heating and air conditioning units come on at the same time?
Q. I have central air. I turned my heater on for the first time yesterday and it seemed to work just fine. I felt the air coming from the vents and it is warm. The temperature reached the set temp on the thermostat. The problem is that my air conditioning unit also comes on. I don't think this is normal. Can someone please tell me why this is happening? Thanks.

A. It may be a heat pump. An easy way to tell is to look at the thermostat. If it has an emergency setting, it is a heat pump. For more info, check out the heat pump page at my source.

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 can tell me about air conditioning parts or lead me to a good diagram?
Q. We are trying to fix the air conditioning at work (the landlord won't do anything) and need to replace some parts. We have the ducts and I have found out that the ducts are connected to the collars (male/female). The collars are then attached to a big square piece which then has the grille attached where the air goes out. Does anyone know what the big metal square piece is called? I've been looking online but so far, no luck. And if you know of any good diagrams illustrating this, that'd be great as well. Thanks!

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.

So who do I take it to to have the hoses replaced? I never said the coolant and the A.C were related. Don't be an idiot.

What are possible causes of my air conditioning continuing to blow warm after a recharge?
Q. I just purchased a recharge kit from the store and recharged the air conditioning on my 98' S10. I filled it completely with 1lb. and 12oz. of 134a as requested by the user manual.

A. The water from the air conditioner is condensation. It is normal for the water to be produced. It comes from the moisture in the air. The hose is for it to drain away. It is gravity fed, so you need to run the hose downward to a drain. It will not run upward. Find a way to drain it downward, and your water leak is solved.

Is it dangerous to leave cars air conditioning on while car is off?
Q. My mom says if you leave your cars air conditioning on when you turn the car off, so it automatically is on when you turn your car on, that it hurts the engine. Is that true or is she full of BS? It sounds like complete BS to me.

A. No. It isn't dangerous. When you turn the key to "start" all electrical circuits which are wired through the ignition switch are disconnected, except those which are used for starting the car. When the engine starts and you release the key, from the start position, then all the circuits are again connected. I know a lot of people, most of who don't know the starter from the distributor, who insist that the AC needs to be switched off before starting the car. I don't switch it off and never have had a bit of trouble, with either the engine or the AC on any of my cars.

I don't switch it off and never have had a bit of trouble, with either the engine or the AC on any of my cars.

How much of an effect does air conditioning have on my gas mileage?
Q. The gas mileage for my van seems to bottom out in the summer months when I have to use the air conditioning. This year, so far, it seems worse than ever. I am getting about 30 miles less on a tank of gas. Any suggestions or insights?

What is the best, inexpensive way to add Air Conditioning to my 1993 Chevy G10 Van?
Q. My 1993 Chevy G10 Van has no air and I use it for work. What is the best way to add air conditioning? Ideally I would like a portable cigarette lighter powered one that I can also use in my car, but I haven't found one that is powerful enough or doesn't require a 'cooler evaporator'. RV units usually take too much juice. What aftermarket units are available and how can I get by inexpensively?

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?

How can I keep my house cool without air conditioning?
Q. I live in a very old house which for some reason makes it very hard to install air conditioning (it has something to do with the thin walls) so any cool air we have comes from fans. This however does not do the best job of keeping the house cool. Is there anything I can do to keep my house cool when it's hot?
