Air Conditioning Installation

Common signs you need AC repair:

• Low airflow
• Frequent cycling
• Higher energy bills
• Warm air
• Bad odors
• Water leaks
• Unusual noises
• Too noisy
• High humidity
• Uneven temperatures
• Thermostat stops working

Some of the most common issues our HVAC technicians handle include:

• Refrigerant leaks
• Dirty condenser coils
• Frozen evaporator coils
• Faulty motors
• Fan problems
• Clogged drain line

A replacement is recommended only if the air conditioner is more than 15 years old and requires regular HVAC repair and maintenance that is steadily increasing the overall cost of ownership.

We will leave you with an AC that:

• Performs more efficiently
• Lasts longer
• Costs less to maintain
• Operates safely

At John Owens, we have a commitment to eco-friendly practices when it comes to AC installation. The Clean Air Act declares that HVAC professionals who handle refrigerant gases must be certified to ensure appropriate protocols when it comes to handling this hazardous material. We at John Owens Services have remained entirely compliant with EPA regulations for nearly two decades, certified in 1994 by the EPA for the use of refrigerant gas.

Our AC maintenance checklist includes:

• Looking for dirt and debris on the condensing unit's exterior
• Inspecting evaporator coils
• A check of the refrigerant charge
• Confirming safe and effective operation
• Inspecting the relays, capacitors, and contactors for wear
• Inspection and cleaning of condensate drains
• Examining and changing air filters
• Monitoring each system's pressure and temperature

• Routine maintenance should be done before the hot weather officially arrives. Tune-ups for AC include duct cleaning, changing air filters, inspecting the outdoor compressor, and more. When the cooling season officially begins, there are waiting lists for a lot of HVAC system providers. Scheduling at least once a year is recommended in the late winter or early spring.

• • Split systems with air handlers: This is a great choice for a home with AC on the second level and radiant floor heating throughout. The air handler is an indoor unit containing the air blower and evaporator coil; the condenser is within the external unit. The connections are made by a copper refrigerant pipe.
  • Rooftop package units: These air conditioners are typically found on business rooftops. They are a factory-built kit that comes pre-assembled and includes the gas furnace, evaporator coil, and condensing unit. They can also be found on the ground next to houses as well as rooftops. This equipment can be helpful in homes without an attic or crawlspace to store HVAC equipment.
  • Ductless mini-split systems, or ductless systems: These systems require no existing ductwork. Combining ductless mini-splits can achieve zone heating and cooling for the entire house, or they can be used to spot heat or cool a particular room. Eichler homes without an attic or crawl space are ideal for ductless mini-split systems.

  Air-to-air heat pumps: This device circulates heat both inside and outside of your house. Air conditioning is accomplished by transferring the heated air from within your house to the outside. It can use the opposite process for heating.
