Why You Should Never Attempt Your Own Hancock Park Air Conditioner Repair

To begin, exactly what is HVAC? It's an acronym that stands for heating, ventilating and air conditioning.

HVAC repair is not something that can be covered in one simple article, because of the myriad of things that can go wrong with today's office or home air conditioning systems.

What I want to do in this article is explain how to avoid many of the Hancock Park air conditionier repairs that can come up, by demonstrating simple preventative maintenance that almost anyone can do. And if you do need an air conditioning repair service, I'll give you a couple pointers on finding a good air conditioning contractor.

First, all air conditioners will eventually break down. They are like any other appliance and have a certain useful life. However, many break down before their time, due to owner neglect or ignorance. In other words, many Hancock air conditioner repair problems can be avoided.

The a/c filter is supposed to trap dirt from your home that would normally get into the unit. The worse the filter, the less dirt that gets caught and the more that gets through to the coils. The simple cheap fiberglass filters are the worst and usually only stop bigger objects like pots and pans, baseball bats and little boys in blue shorts. This is one area where you don't want to skimp on the price. Get the better filters that are designed to stop or at least reduce pollen, mold spores, dust mite debris, pet dander and more. The way to do this is look on the package and compare its ASHRAE rating. (ASHRAE stands for American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers.) The air filter industry has adopted the standards set by ASHRAE for describing the effectiveness of air filter media. A later ASHRAE standard, has refined the testing procedure and assigns filters a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (or MERV) rating, based on the efficiency at various particle sizes and airflow rates. I would look for a filter with a MERV rating of 6-The higher the rating, the better the filter. MERV ratings go up higher than 8, with the highest ratings necessary only if you are going to be doing surgery in your living room.

While the unit is running, put your hand in front of the vent and see if it feels cools. If you aren't good at this, you could buy a digital thermometer and check the actual temperature that way.

Now with all this said, you should never attempt you own Hancock Park air conditioner repair unless you know exactly what you're doing. The reasons for this should be obvious, but I'll list a few anyway. First, you are dealing with electricity. That's enough said right there. Never mess with electricity if you don't know what you're doing. Next, the lines that make up an air conditioner are under high pressure. So, if you have a problem and need a qualified central air conditioning repair technician, here are a couple of tips.

I never hire any contractor unless someone I know refers them. There are good and bad air conditioning contractors and the bad ones look like the good ones when they are just standing there. Whether you have someone referred to you or not, it’s always a good idea to check out whoever you’re considering using by doing a search about them or their company on the Internet. There is wealth of information on the Web and if someone has had a bad experience with a particular Hancock Park air conditioning repair contractor, it's usually not that hard to find, with just a little research.

I hope you found many of these tips helpful and you can use them to prolong the life of you air conditioning unit. Stay cool!
