 The Benefits of Ductless

The popularity of wall mounted mini split air conditioners around the world is evidence that ductless equipment is here to stay. The United States has jumped on board and contractors and consumers keep finding new and ingenious ways of using ductless equipment.

A few reasons why…

Cost: A competitive United States ductless market has helped drive prices down and efficiency up.

Installation: Installation of ductless equipment is very clean and easy.

Space Requirement: Many older homes, cabins and additions were not built with central air conditioning in mind and do not have adequate space for ductwork. Wall mounted mini split air conditioners negate the need for added ductwork. Refrigerant line sets and wiring can easily run through attics, walls and ceilings to connect with the outdoor condenser.

Efficiency: Ductless split systems have become increasingly more efficient since United States minimum requirements rose to 13 SEER. It is not uncommon to find ductless equipment exceeding 20 SEER.

Zone Control: Many mini split owners already have an existing central air conditioner system in their home. Smaller central air conditioners and older equipment are expensive to replace and many consumers have purchased mini split air conditioners to cool areas that their existing systems can’t handle. Mini split air conditioners have the ability to cool any area or zone in a building.

Heating Capabilities: Many ductless mini split systems offer either heat pump or electric heat functions. This is an excellent added feature for areas that require heat during the year and either do not have a furnace or the furnace isn’t capable of adequately warming the area.

Save 10% on any repair while you have an active annual air conditioning maintenance agreement.

Annual Energy Savings Agreements

Keeping up with your HVAC system could save you thousands in repair and replacement costs.

You know your automobile requires routine maintenance to keep it running at peak performance and to ensure its longevity.

What many do not realize is, like your automobile, your air conditioning system requires routine maintenance to keep it operating at its peak performance and efficiency. The fact is that while we love to think of our machines and appliances as fail-proof, any man-made machine will inherently need proper maintenance.

Even the highest quality machines require regular preventative maintenance to continue to operate at their reliable high levels. During a preventative maintenance visit, a service technician will most likely perform factory recommended maintenance on your system:

- Inspect and clean filters

- Inspect (and clean and lubricate if necessary) moving parts, evaporator coil, electronics, compressor fan motor, blades, blower assembly and safety controls

- Adjust belts

- Check refrigerant level

- Drain pan

- Check lines and evaporator coil

Preventative maintenance programs may vary slightly from one company to the next, but the general idea behind all programs is to ensure that all elements of the machine are working properly and prevent costly repairs in the future.

Over the past 30 years Aloha A/C has offered maintenance agreements to lower electrical costs and increase equipment longevity to our loyal customers and have saved them hundreds if not thousands of dollars in repairs energy and equipment cost. Contact us today.

As an Aloha Air Conditioning maintenance agreement holder we will discount any charges by 10% should the system need service in between your regularly scheduled ac maintenance visits.

Savings, is not the only benefit you get by becoming an annual a/c maintenance agreement holder, you also receive priority status when you do call for service.

We can save you money by performing an energy efficiency tune-up on the air conditioning equipment and count the service call charge as a first maintenance visit thus waiving the service call charge. This is currently a $69.00 value.

Often times we can convert a service or repair call to a maintenance visit saving you up to 50% of your repair cost plus get you on a maintenance plan. Regular service helps to avoid some of those unexpected costs.

 

Q: What is an Energy Efficiency Tune-up Air Conditioning Maintenance Agreement?

Air Conditioning HVAC Freon Leak Repair Specialist

Aloha Air Conditioning is proud to have a team of qualified Freon leak repair service technicians that are properly licensed, insured and have preformed HVAC system high pressure test since 1982.

When an air conditioning system has been found to be low on refrigerant. (freon). The technician will charge the system with refrigerant and check the equipment for leaks at the accessible pipe joints along with tightening of all fittings. However, should no leak be evident at that time. You now have options available to you such as:

1. Let the system run with the added refrigerant charge until such time leak becomes larger and we are able to pinpoint the location of the freon leak.
   

   (WARNING: Running an ac system low on refrigerant can cause damage to the equipment. Aloha Air Conditioning, Inc. cannot be held responsible for any damages resulting from this decision.)

2. Install freon leak detector seal, this product is installed in the A/C system pipes and will often times seal small freon leaks. Please note: This product is an inexpensive attempt to seal a leak but is NOT always 100% effective on sealing all refrigerant leaks. This product cannot seal large leaks and there is NO guarantee this will solve your freon leak repair problem.
   

   (WARNING: Running an ac system low on refrigerant can cause damage to the equipment. Aloha Air Conditioning, Inc. cannot be held responsible for any damages resulting from this decision.)

3. This should be performed if the A/C system has a history of freon leak repairs. Perform a high pressure test which requires the isolation of the air handler unit, both liquid and suction refrigerant pipes and condenser.

The air handler, condenser, liquid and suction refrigerant pipes will be put under 300 pounds of nitrogen pressure and left for a period of time. (The normal time range is 24 to 48 hours.) Then the technician will return to determine which section of the piping has low pressure and repair or replace the leaking area and recharge the system. While this is the proper way to resolve freon leak repair problems, it is also more labor and material intensive.

We look forward to helping you through the process of correctly diagnosing and resolving your air conditioning systems problem.

Don’t wait to set your appointment. Call 855-88-ALOHA to schedule a certified service technician to diagnose your A/C unit and recommend the proper actions to take in dealing with your air conditioning system Freon leak repair.

We look forward to hearing all your thoughts about our website please comment below before you go.

Do you need a HVAC condensate drain water leak repair, service and maintenance company?

Our recommended actions to take when you find a condensate water leak.

1. Turn the thermostat of the system to the off position.
2. Use a bucket or towel as needed to sop up the water dampened area.
3. Inspect the air filter for water.
4. Call a qualified, licensed and insured company to inspect the system and recommend the proper repair steps to be taken.

The most common cause for a HVAC system to leak from the condensate drain or air handler drain pan is algae buildup causing a blockage. The second most often found cause is ice built up on a frozen air handler coil.

Most condensate water leak repairs are fairly inexpensive and can be corrected in a short amount of time.

However, the best protection for you is prevention. One thing all of our existing maintenance agreement holders already know (besides priority service and saving 10% on labor for any repair) is the importance of having a water safety float switch installed in the condensate drain and condensate drain pan. This way when the condensate line or condensate pan back up the system is automatically shutdown.

We know that there are many companies out there in our industry for you select from for your system water leak repair. That’s why, when you contact us, we promise…“To Provide the Highest Quality Service, At the Lowest Economical Cost to Our Customer”

Since, 1982 Aloha Air Conditioning Inc. has been family owned and operated. We know how hard it is to find professionally trained, high quality, reliable and honest people who are licensed and insured.

• We will answer the phone day or night, even weekends and holidays.
• We will call you back, should you have to leave a message.
• We will respond to emails, show up on time, and respect your home and personal belongings.

Contact us right away to set up a service call for your system condensate water leak before it turns into a costly drain on your pocket and time consuming repair.

We service all of Broward, South West Palm Beach and North Miami Dade Counties. We are available 24 hours a day, 7days a week and do not charge over time for Saturday service calls.

Self-Contained, Ceiling-Mounted Air Conditioners: A Cost-Effective Solution for Server Rooms.

As businesses become more and more dependent on computers and telecom equipment to keep their critical operations running 24/7, they face a new challenge that often takes them by surprise:

How to keep their server or telecom room cool when the building’s central air conditioning system is inadequate or is otherwise turned off—such as during off hours, weekends and holidays, or during cold-weather months, when the HVAC system is in heating mode.

Adding to the difficulty is a lack of floor space. A relatively new class of self-contained, ceiling-mounted air conditioners can provide a cost-effective, space-saving solution.

• Self-contained, all-in-one units have lower installation costs than mini-splits or precision cooling systems

• No penetration of wall or roof required

• No outside condensing unit to maintain

• Compact size fits easily above drop ceiling, takes up no floor space
