How Dust and Dirt Affect Your Air Conditioning System
Monday, September 7th, 2015Dust and dirt are so common it may seem like they shouldn’t have a big impact on your air conditioning system; unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Just as getting sand in your smart phone can cause you endless problems, dirt and dust can have the same effect on your whole home AC. The problems may not be apparent at first, but if dust and dirt are left to accumulate on your system, you will start to see the effects, and they won’t be positive ones.
Do You Need to Consider AC Replacement for Next Year?
Tuesday, September 1st, 2015It’s not something most homeowners want to think about because it’s a big decision and an expensive proposition: replacing your whole home air conditioning system. It can be an even harder decision when your AC is still operating – but one of the questions to ask yourself is: how well is your existing air conditioner operating? Just because your AC is still running doesn’t mean it’s running well, or that it is doing the job you need it to do. To help you discern whether or not your air conditioning system has another cooling season in it, it’s important to review these critical factors:
Why Ice on Your Air Conditioner Isn’t Normal
Monday, August 10th, 2015It’s hot, and at the height of summer, your air conditioner is working its hardest to keep you cool. This is why many homeowners think that ice build-up may be part of the normal course of operation. It isn’t. Ice build-up anywhere in your system means there’s an imbalance in the heat release/cooling process, and this imbalance is most likely from a refrigerant leak. So what should you do? The first step you need to take is to call the experts at Carney Plumbing Heating & Cooling. We’ve been helping customers in the Doylestown, PA area with their AC repair needs since 1976, and we are here to help you, too.

3 Common Problems That Can Develop with Your AC’s Compressor
Tuesday, June 9th, 2015Your air conditioning system is comprised of a number of components, but there are three key components that are responsible for much of the work: the condenser, the evaporator and the compressor. Of these three components, the compressor would be considered the most mechanical, as it is responsible for pressurizing the refrigerant in your system. Compressors do a great deal of work, and operating day in and out under great pressure can lead to repair issues, particularly if your air conditioning system hasn’t been properly maintained. Any repair issues that develop with your compressor should only be handled by a trained expert to ensure that the diagnosis is correct and that the repair is handled properly. The experts at Carney Plumbing Heating & Cooling have been helping customers in the North Wales, PA, area with their air conditioner repairs since 1976 and we can help you with yours.
