Why use mounting brackets

Mounting brackets for mini-split HVAC systems offer several benefits: Stability and Support: Brackets provide a stable and secure platform for the outdoor condenser unit of a mini-split system. This is crucial for ensuring the unit remains level and doesn’t shift over time. Protection from Vibration: Mini-split systems can generate vibrations during operation. Mounting brackets help […]

Benefits of the Lineset Covers

Lineset covers, also known as line set covers or line hide, offer several benefits when used with mini-split systems. These covers are designed to encase and protect the refrigerant lines, communication wires, and condensate lines that connect the indoor and outdoor units of a mini-split system. Here are some of the benefits of using lineset […]

HVAC CONTACTOR TROUBLESHOOTING

WHAT IS AN HVAC CONTACTOR  An HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) contactor is an electrical switch that controls the power supply to components in an HVAC system, typically the compressor and the condenser fan. It is an integral part of the HVAC system and plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of electricity […]

What is an inverter HVAC system

An inverter HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system refers to a type of air conditioning or heat pump system that utilizes inverter technology. In traditional HVAC systems, the compressor, which is responsible for cooling or heating the air, operates at a fixed speed—either on or off. In contrast, inverter technology allows the compressor to […]

Does my HVAC Unit have a bad capacitor?

Diagnosing HVAC issues can be complex, and while a faulty capacitor is a common cause of problems, it’s not the only potential issue. Here are some signs that your HVAC unit’s capacitor might be bad: Inconsistent Cooling: If your HVAC system is having trouble maintaining a consistent temperature, or if it takes a long time […]

What is an Electrical Whip

An electrical whip, also known simply as a “whip,” is a pre-assembled electrical conduit that includes conductors and connectors. It is commonly used to connect an air conditioning or heating unit to an electrical junction box. The whip simplifies the installation process by providing a ready-made, flexible solution for routing electrical power from the source […]

What is a Disconnect Box?

A disconnect box, also known as a disconnect switch or electrical disconnect, is a device used to disconnect electrical power from an appliance or equipment. It is commonly employed in the installation of electrical systems, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units, like mini-split systems. Here are the key features and functions of a […]

SEER Rating

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and it is a measure of the energy efficiency of air conditioning and heat pump systems. SEER is a standardized way of expressing the efficiency of cooling equipment over an entire cooling season. Here’s how SEER is calculated: SEER=Total heat removed during the seasonTotal electrical energy consumed during the seasonSEER=Total electrical energy consumed during the seasonTotal heat removed during the season​ In simpler terms, SEER is the ratio of the […]
