Air conditioning systems work by moving heat from inside your premises to the outside. In a central air conditioning system air is drawn into the ductwork system through the return air system. Installed in the return air ductwork is an evaporator coil. This coil is connected to the condensor, the unit that is outside your home, by copper tubing.

The refrigerant is then pumped from the condenser to the evaporator coil. As the refrigerant passes through the inside of the evaporator coil, warm air from inside your home passes over the outside of the coil. Because the refrigerant is cooler than the warm air, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air. The refrigerant is then sent outside to the condenser unit. When the warmed refrigerant is in the condenser unit it is compressed by the compressor; the compression of the refrigerant causes it to boil. As the refrigerant boils it gives off the heat it picked up from inside your home. The refrigerant is then passed through the coil in the condenser unit where it gets cooled again and is ready to go back inside to pick up more heat from your home.

As this whole process is going on, the temperature and relative humidity in your premises are both lowered. The relative humidity level drops because cooler air cannot hold as much moisture. As the air cools, it gives up some moisture and it gets collected in the base of the evaporator coil and is then drained away
The purchase price of Air Conditioning Units are now more affordable than you may think.  Please contact Ellis Air conditioning for a no obligation qoute.
 
The benefits of Air Conditioning are to give a comfortable environment at work or at home throughout the seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. An Air Conditioning unit can have two functions - heating and cooling.With an auto changeover switch on most new units, you set the temperature and the unit will cool or heat as required automatically.
 
An anti-fungus filter is used - this catches allergy-causing mites, smoke particles and odours, making the air in your environment clean and fresh.
 
A quick and easy rule of thumb to use for sizing an air conditioner for a room or house is the square foot method. This formula is used only for a quick approximate and is based on certain guidelines .

Air Conditioning is a matured technology so most of the popular brands work well. Many of them use parts made by the same manufacturers. So, the main considerations are the price, warranty, attractiveness, noise, etc. Some manufacturers offer a 3-5 year warranty on all parts while others offer only 1 year. Some units are unattractive and will not compliment your landscaping.
  
Ellis Air Conditioning use a number of different Air Conditioning Manufacturers and will supply the unit best suited to you or your comapnies needs.
 

Heating and Air Conditioning equipment should be serviced at least once a year. The best scenario is to have the heating system checked in the Autumn and the air conditioning checked in the Spring.

Why should I have my equipment serviced?
Annual servicing includes cleaning the system, checking for any problems or potential problems and adjusting for Peak efficiency. The benefits include:

  • Increased dependability.
  • Find potential problems and fix them quickly.
  • Provide maximum efficiency which lowers energy costs.
  • Prolongs the life-span of the equipment.
  • Maintains safe and healthy operation.
  • Can help to protect the environment.
  • Drastically reduces the chance of a break-down which usually happens at night or on weekends when repair rates are higher.
