Monday, July 31st, 2017

When you see water present in your home with no known source, it’s natural that you’d want to call a plumber for repairs. However, the problem might actually be your air conditioner, not your plumbing system. Cooling systems can leak water, but not from any part of the plumbing that snakes its way through your home—rather, it’s from condensation that has built up within your AC system and might, if drainage isn’t property set up, find a way to spill over and into your home.

Today’s cooling systems are far more energy efficient than those of the past. However, they can only work at their best if they are installed properly to begin with.

You may even have to replace your system prematurely.

From determining cooling loads to selecting the best model of air conditioner for your home, there are a number of considerations to take into account in order to ensure a successful installation.
