AC Repair Company Any malfunction of your air conditioner is a nightmare during the Texas summer. If your AC fan stops working, don’t wait — call a technician from Thayer Air Conditioning right away. Without a functioning fan, your system can’t circulate cool air, leaving your home hot and uncomfortable. Prompt AC repair will get your unit running smoothly again and help you beat the heat. The Two Vital AC Fans There are two fans in an AC system, one in the indoor unit and one in the outdoor unit, which are both essential for the air conditioner to work. If either breaks, you won’t have cooling. The indoor fan is the blower fan, and it’s responsible for sending cooled air around the house to the various room vents. The blower fan also sends the warm air it draws through the return ducts across the evaporator coil to cool it

We’ve talked in the past about the dangers of refrigerant leaks in an air conditioning system. When an air conditioner loses refrigerant, it not only places the cooling of a home in jeopardy, it puts the entire AC in danger of a full breakdown.  Refrigerant isn’t an energy source but a heat transfer medium: the air conditioner doesn’t consume refrigerant as it runs, so the same amount of refrigerant (known as the AC’s charge) will remain the same through the system’s lifespan, unless there are leaks. So if you hear a so-called HVAC “technician” tell you that your AC needs to have its refrigerant “topped off,” go find another technician! You only need more refrigerant if the AC has leaks. Those are a few of the most important facts about refrigerants to know. But we want to add some specific information about refrigerant types. This may help you know if you

If your home’s central air conditioning system is like most, it’s a split system. That means it has indoor and outdoor components: an indoor air handler and evaporator coil connected to the ductwork system, and an outdoor condenser cabinet. You pay more attention to the indoor parts, because you can hear the operation of the blower fan. The outdoor unit is a functional object that’s placed out of the way where it doesn’t detract from the exterior of the house. We recommend you pay some attention to the condenser, however, particularly at this time of year. If the condenser becomes dirty or the area around it congested with branches, leaves, dirt, and other obstacles, the AC’s performance will suffer. We’ll explain why. The Job of the Condenser The condenser has more than one job, actually, as it houses several critical components for the air conditioner to work. The most important is the

We’re going to look at the reasons one of your AC fans stopped working, but first, let’s get you more acquainted with these two fans. An air conditioning system without a working fan is known as a broken air conditioning system. Actually, we should be more specific when we mention “fan,” because there are two fans in an AC system, one in the indoor unit and one in the outdoor unit, that are both essential for the air conditioner to work. If either breaks, you won’t have cooling. The Two Vital AC Fans The indoor fan is the blower fan, and it’s responsible for sending cooled air around the house to the various room vents. The blower fan also sends the warm air it draws through the return ducts across the evaporator coil to cool it down in the first place. Without this fan, no air will come from the vents and
