It’s no secret that Spokane is an ideal place to live and work. Outdoor life is ideal, the wildlife is common, and the weather is desired. The winter temperatures tend to be mild and the summer temperatures tend to be warm. It’s extremely common with newer homes and most office buildings to have an air conditioning system installed. Because so many places offer the convenience of cool air, there are a lot of people who need help when your a/c goes down. Nobody likes the feeling of too much heat which makes air conditioning service and repair common in Spokane as well.
Air Design has been in the HVAC installation, service, and repair industry for years and we’ve seen it all. It’s quite rare that we seen a new problem from the environment, animals, or just the wear and tear of use on your HVAC system. We’re the good guys and love what we do. We invite you to speak with the expert experts in air conditioning so that we can either help you solve a problem or install a new air conditioning the right way the first time.
If you're finding that your home is warmer than what’s comfortable in your home or office, even with the air conditioner running, then you might need to consider a larger cooling unit or more updated air conditioner compressor. Window unit AC typically isn’t strong enough for hot temperatures, but are used to take the edge off the heat, or even just to cool 1 room. The problem is the old AC units and window air conditioners are considered to be an less environmentally friendly and consume much more power, in effect increasing your monthly power bill - eek! Additionally, your current unit just might need some service or repair. Inefficiently running units are the biggest cause for being uncomfortable in hot weather indoors. This is Air Design’s specialty. We know just what to look for, what adjustments to make, and what parts are needed. Because of this intimate knowledge of HVAC units, we can make our service or repair call completed as quickly as possible - saving you both time and money! Your quick comfort is our biggest concern.
If there is a problem with the ductwork, then the cost to repair your a/c unit or system may be more expensive. This will depend on the size and scope of the damage to the ductwork, and will be more costly than simply repairing the compressor unit itself. Consider that there might be the teardown and fix up of the finish on your wall. That might include the sheet metal ductwork or the drywall and paint. Not to worry as this is the least common problem that we face when helping with air conditioning service repairs.
The majority of homes and smaller commercial air conditioning systems circulate a compressed gas refrigerant in a tubing system to cool and “condition” inside air of the home or building. The refrigerant in the tubing has to be re-cooled and condensed as it’s used, and outside air is the source most often used to accomplish this.
The refrigerants, widely recognized by the trademark name of “freon” (which is a registered trademark of the DuPont company), helps to cool and dehumidify the inside air. In a “forced air” system, an internal blower fan circulates the already conditioned air through the duct work in the building to the rooms where the cooler air is needed through vents. The air ducts typically run either below the ceiling and inside the rooms (conditioned air) or in the attic (unconditioned air). An outside fan pulls air across the external parts of the system to cool and condense the refrigerant. This air passes over the tubing (which is coiled) and the temperature of the air drops, cooling it off.
The problem might be with the thermostat and not with the air conditioning system itself. If that is the case, then repair costs will be lower than having to fix the system itself. Air Design also services, repairs, installs, and replaces thermostats for just about any type of application.
Heat pumps are set up similarly to air conditioning units with a condenser system outside the home. If there are obstructions to that, then it might be a simple fix. The cost to repair a heat pump from the condenser side should typically be one of the more affordable repairs.
Many companies use different types of air conditioning units for their business applications. You’ll find a higher percentage of businesses in the greater Spokane, WA area want to be as conservative as possible when it comes to energy costs. Commercial air conditioners tend to be a little larger and handle a lot bigger stresses of raising or lowering the temperature of the commercial building. Air Design can handle any type of HVAC repair or service that is needed.
