AC

How can I tell when it’s time to replace my air conditioner?

There are several ways to tell that your AC unit needs replacing, for instance:

  • The air conditioner is more than 10 years old: If your AC unit is more than a decade old, it might be time to consider an upgrade before repairs become more costly than installing a new unit.

  • The air conditioner uses R-22 Freon: Freon is no longer produced, so it has become expensive to purchase for those units still requiring it. You may find it more financially appealing to buy a new unit that does not rely on this refrigerant.

  • You have an expensive repair ahead: If your air conditioner is in need of an extensive, costly fix, you may opt to install a new one to stop the constant need to pour money into the unit.

  • Your air conditioner is not performing well: If your AC unit is not cooling your home efficiently, it might be time to get a new model. Newly manufactured air conditioners must adhere to strict guidelines on energy efficiency, so they perform exceptionally well and keep your power bill low.

If you are interested in buying a new AC unit, repairing your existing one or investing in a heat pump, trust Tycor Climate Control. We’re the experts on air conditioning in Trail, B.C.

refrigeration

What are the main types of refrigeration systems?

There are four main types of refrigeration systems available:

  • Evaporative cooling: Otherwise known as swamp coolers, evaporative cooling systems blow warm outside air across water-soaked pads, which absorb heat from the air. The end result is that cooler air is allowed to enter your home, reducing the temperature considerably. This type of system is easily installed and cost-effective.

  • Mechanical-compression refrigeration systems: Mechanical compression is used in all different settings, from home air conditioning to industrial cooling units. In this system, refrigerant is compressed into a cold liquid and then expanded using hot gas and pressure. In this process, heat is drawn from the indoor air and you are left cool and comfortable.

  • Absorption refrigeration systems: Absorption refrigeration works in a similar way to mechanical-compression refrigeration. The fundamental difference is that instead of using a mechanical compressor, absorption systems use refrigerants that can absorb other substances. For example, ammonia may be used with water as the absorbent. This process allows for several non-electric energy sources to be used, such as water, natural gas, steam or other alternatives.

  • Thermoelectric refrigeration systems: A thermoelectric system doesn’t require any type of refrigerant or even water. It functions via a thermocouple with one hot and one cool end, and an electric current. The cold side of the thermocouple is set in an area that needs cooling, so it can draw heat from the air. This type of system is mainly used for smaller spaces.

When should I call a plumber?

At Tycor Climate Control, we offer a full range of plumbing services, so you can trust us to help you out if you have a clogged drain or similar situation on your hands. Sometimes it’s hard to know if a professional plumber is required, so here are a few clear signs that it’s time to give us a shout:

  • You have no water: While this may sound obvious, having no water is an indicator that you should get a plumber on the case ASAP. There are several reasons why this might happen, and all of them require emergency assistance. (If you are on a municipal water supply, check with your neighbours to find out if it’s just your property or a more widespread occurrence).

  • Your hot water tank is sweating: A sweating hot water tank can be a sign of a slow leak. Also look for spots of rust and corrosion, or puddles of water near the tank.

  • Your hot water runs out quickly: If you find yourself needing to wait several hours for your hot water to return after a shower or other usage, there may be a problem. Eventually you may not have hot water at all, so get your tank repaired or replaced before that happens.

  • Your toilet overflows frequently: The occasional clog is one thing, but a toilet that is constantly overflowing can indicate a deeper blockage or other issue that needs to be addressed.

  • Bad odours in the home: If you notice unpleasant smells around your drains or elsewhere in the house, check to make sure there isn’t a plumbing problem causing it.

  • Low water pressure: If you find yourself with feeble water pressure when you’re trying to shower, wash your hands or do the dishes, you should contact us for an upgrade. We can get your water gushing properly and make life easier.

  • Drains aren’t draining properly: If you notice that the drains in your home aren’t draining completely or quickly, it might be a signal of something bigger going on. We can take a look and nip the issue in the bud before it gets expensive to repair.

  • Your faucet won’t stop dripping: A constantly dripping faucet is not only irritating, but it also adds up on your water bill if you don’t have it fixed. Getting it done promptly can help you save water and nix the annoying dripping sound.
