Air Conditioning

A properly maintained air conditioner will use less energy, provide greater cooling and will provide 20+ years of service with little or no break downs. This equipment uses compressed refrigerants under high pressure, line voltage and low voltage control systems and mechanical system. Only licensed personnel familiar with this type of equipment should perform repairs. Before starting any compressor, the controls must be powered for 24 hours. This is to allow the compressor heaters to boil off any refrigerant in the oil. Failure to follow this can result in permanent damage or failure of the compressor. In case you did startup the compressor right away, that loud clanging noise was the compressor piston trying to blow a hole in the top of the compressor. Do not attempt to work on any piece of equipment, or remove any panel when the unit is powered. There maybe be exposed electrical connections or moving parts the can cause serious injury or death. Spilt systems using an indoor and outdoor condensing unit have separate power supply. Make sure each is shut off before servicing.
