Air Conditioning Basics
The four main components to your air conditioner are:
Condenser: The condenser is the outside metal unit and where the gas from the compressor is condensed into a liquid. The gas entering the condenser is very hot. The temperature is then lowered, so the gas can convert back to a liquid.
Compressor: The compressor is inside the condenser. It circulates the pressurized refrigerant, to concentrate the heat, and changes the low pressure gas to high pressure.
Evaporator: The evaporator is the part of the system inside the home. In simple language, it absorbs the heat from your home.
Expansion Valve: The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant in your system.
All of these pieces are connected by a copper tube that handles refrigerant, creating a closed loop. Heat is collected in the evaporator, sent outside to the condenser. The heat is removed, and the cool air is recirculated back into your home.
AC Facts
An Air Conditioner Doesn’t Create Cool Air.
What happens in the AC process is actually the removal of heat from the air. Your AC uses a chemical called refrigerant to remove heat and transfer it outside. The warm air runs through the lines and coils in your unit and goes from liquid to gas and back again. During this process, the refrigerant removes the heat and transfers it elsewhere so that when the air comes out the other side, it is cool.
Your AC Will Remove Humidity.
Lower humidity helps the overall comfort level in your home by making you feel cooler, even if the temperature is the same.
Your Air Filter Needs To Be Checked And Replaced Every Three To Six Months.
(depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations)
A dirty air filter restricts your air flow, which reduces efficiency, costing you money, and over time can put stress on your unit and could cause a costly repair.
Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance.
Your air conditioner needs regular checkups to keep it running in tip-top shape. Having regular annual preventative maintenance will bring your system longer life and fewer breakdowns over all.
SEER
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures air conditioning and heat pump cooling efficiency, which is calculated by the cooling output for a typical cooling season divided by the total electric energy input during the same time frame. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency.

“My AC went out in the dead of summer and we needed it fixed asap. ABT was able to squeeze me in to their packed schedule the very next day. James from ABT came out and was extremely professional and courteous. He game me ever option imaginable for not only fixes of my aged AC unit, but also several options for future replacement. The communication and customer service from ABT far exceeded my expectations. They will definitely be my go to from now on. Thank you!”
Air Conditioner Maintenance in Other, UT 84042
“Honestly disappointed with I feel the integrity of the company. I had them come out to do a simple maintenance walk through to make sure things were running properly for the summer heat. Paid a pretty buck. Not even two weeks later our AC stops working. I Have them come out again to look since they said everything was great the first time, and they charge us another $100 to tell me it’s not on their end. When actually turns out it WAS! They somehow loosened up the coils and didn’t fix them and that was the issue and they wanted to blame someone else for it and charge us. Got robbed basically. Don’t hire this company.”

“Stockton was our technician a couple days ago. Our system was not responding and I could not get heat or cooling response. He quickly found the several problems, correcting them and leaving us in good condition. He was very courteous, respectful, and always made a point to wear his booties to protect our flooring as he had to go outside several times and work in the dirt where our outdoor units are located. I give him 10 points out of 10 for great job.”

He’s very professional and kind. I appreciate Stockton and his work, his ethics and his willingness to keep us going here at SLB. Outstanding employee in my opinion.”

“James and Stockton, did a great Job.”

“Technicians were on time and friendly. Replaced the faulty capacitor. I suspected it was bad. My only issue was the price of the replacement capacitor. $176. I am sure they aren’t more than $50 on Amazon. They were here only 30-40 minutes. I just have a little sticker shock. I am retired and on a fixed income and it was a little more than I was expecting. Some other neighbors have had the same problem and only paid $210 and had a after hour charge. I originally had a appointment with Gunther heating and air. I canceled it because I know Adam Merritt. I used to live by him. Looks like maybe I should have kept the other appointment. Your techs did a great job but total price was an ouchy.”
