Air Conditioning

The size of the air conditioner you need depends on the square footage, insulation, window types, and overall layout of your home. An AC unit that is too small will struggle to cool your space, while an oversized unit can cycle on and off too frequently, wasting energy. Our Comfort Advisors at Evergreen Home Heating and Energy can perform a detailed load calculation to ensure you get the right size system for optimal performance and comfort.

Central air conditioning works by circulating cool air through a system of supply and return ducts in your home. The system's outdoor unit contains a compressor that cools refrigerant, which is then pumped to the indoor coil. As warm air from your home is drawn into the system, it passes over the coil, where the refrigerant absorbs the heat, cooling the air. The cooled air is then distributed throughout your home via the ductwork. At Evergreen Home Heating and Energy, we can guide you through the process of installing central AC in your home, ensuring it’s the right fit for your needs.

Installing a central air conditioning system typically takes one to three days, depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the installation, and whether new ductwork is required. If your home already has ducts in place, the process can be quicker. At Evergreen Home Heating and Energy, we ensure the installation is done efficiently while minimizing disruption to your home. Our technicians will also walk you through the system’s operation once the installation is complete.

A central air conditioning system requires regular maintenance to keep it running efficiently. Basic maintenance includes changing or cleaning the air filters in the indoor unit every 1 to 3 months, clearing debris from around the outdoor unit, and ensuring the vents inside your home are not blocked. Additionally, an annual professional tune-up is recommended to check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, and ensure overall system performance. Evergreen Home Heating and Energy offers maintenance services to help prolong the life of your system and maintain peak efficiency.
