Air Conditioner FAQ

Have a question about AC repairs in College Station, TX or a surrounding area? Lavco Air Conditioning & Heating has the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

What do good central air units have in common?

The best ones are efficient, operating on minimal electricity to hold utility bills down. They provide steady, dependable performance year after year when properly maintained. Good systems are quiet, long-lasting, and low in service needs.
How can I be sure my unit is the right size?

An air conditioner that’s too small won’t keep your home sufficiently cool, but many people don’t realize that an oversized system will cycle (turn on and off) more than necessary, wasting expensive energy and possibly putting undue strain on the compressor.

Lavco Air Conditioning & Heating will determine the optimum size for your home by making a careful study of your cooling requirements, such as window dimensions and exposure, floor space, insulation, local climate, heat-generating appliances, the direction your home faces, and even the amount of your home’s exterior that is shaded by trees.

We can specify the cooling capacity of the system in either Btu/h (British thermal units of heat removed per hour) or refrigeration tons (one ton being equal to 12,000 Btu/h).
Which air conditioners are energy efficient?

Much like automobile manufacturers, today’s air conditioner manufacturers are required by law to evaluate and rate their equipment according to its energy efficiency. This rating is known in the industry as a SEER or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The higher the SEER, the more efficient the equipment.

Most new homes with central air come equipped with a standard builder’s model. However, when replacement becomes necessary, property owners can upgrade their air conditioning by specifying a more energy-efficient system.

High SEER models are generally more expensive but can easily make up the difference by reducing your home energy bills over the long run.
Are some air conditioners built better than others?

The compressor is the heart of a condensing unit. On a hot day, it works long and hard. Rheem installs the highly advanced scroll compressor in every Rheem condensing unit they produce. Scroll compressors are recognized by the industry as the leader in reliability, efficiency, and quiet operation.

Other features to look for include louvered steel cabinets that protect the coils from damage and expensive repair bills.

Also, with some condensing units, the fan can be another source of bothersome noise. Rheem units have a grill design that minimizes air restriction for quieter fan operation.
