There are two ways a system can be installed in an attic horizontal or vertical this is an example of a horizontal. Just keep in mind that the major components of a system would still be the same. Gossett would prefer to install a new system vertical so that the home owner is able to have attic space available. Sometimes this is not possible depends on the space and design of the home.

Installation of your new system is of the utmost importance when it comes to efficiency and longevity. When choosing a company to facilitate your installation be sure they have a install team that has many years of experience and continuing education with todays higher SEER rating systems they are more complex.

†IMPORTANT TO CONDSIDER WHEN REPLACING†

♦EVAPORATOR COIL/CONDENSER♦

 MATCHING THE INDOOR EVAPORATOR COIL WITH THE OUTSIDE CONDENSER IS IMPORTANT FOR OPTIMUM COMFORT, EFFICIENCY, AND PERFORMANCE IS CRITICAL. IMPROPERLY MATCHED EVAPORATOR COILS CAN DECREASE EFFICIENCY OF THE OUTDOOR CONDENSER AS MUCH AS 40% AND CAUSE THE INDOOR BLOWER MOTOR TO WORK HARDER THAN IT HAS TO, RESULTING IN A SHORTER LIFE AND LOWER OPERATING EFFICIENCY. WHICH MEANS HIGHER UTILITY BILLS. COMFORT IS SACRIFICED WHEN AN IMPROPERLY MATCHED SYSTEM TRIES TO KEEP UP WITH THE HEATING AND COOLING REQUESTS FROM THE THERMOSTAT. HUMIDITY PROBLEMS CAN ARISE WHEN SYSTEMS ARE NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY.

HOW AN AIR CONDITIONER WORKS

1. Indoor air is cooled as it passes over the evaporator, a set of coils  (Trane designs there coils to remove as much humidity as possible) containing liquid refrgerant (freon). The moisture in the air forms droplets on the coils and trickles outside through a drain hole.

2. Heat from the air causes some of the refrigerant to evaporate, and it passes into the compressor as a vapor.

3. The compressor increases the pressure of the refrigerant vapor, making it hotter. It loses that heat to the outside air, becoming a warm high-pressure liquid in the condenser.

4. The warm liquid refrigerant sprays through the expansion valve (located in the evaporator coil) back into the evaporator coil. As it expands, the refrigerant turns into a mixture of cold vapor and cold liquid, and the cycle is ready to begin again.

Breaking News from ACCA Government Affairs:
House Passes EESA, Includes Key HVACR Provisions;
Bush Will Sign Into Law as May/2008

Today the US House passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) that will shore up the frozen credit system and extend key HVACR tax incentives. President Bush has pledged to sign the bill into law.

Enactment of EESA will forestall the pending credit crunch that threatens America's already flagging economy. It will allow the US Treasury to unclog the financial system by clearing the most "toxic" assets being held by banks and other lending institutions. As a result, more funds will be available for lending to small businesses that need to make payrolls, purchase inventory, and address short term emergencies.

Included in the EESA were key HVACR tax incentives for homeowners and businesses:

• A new $2,000 tax credit for homeowners that install geothermal heat pumps until 2016.

ACCA has lobbied Congress hard to get these tax incentives passed. The success of this effort is due to the calls and letters from ACCA members, a testament to ACCA's standing on Capitol Hill. Response to our legislative alerts this week were strong, with hundreds of contacts made between the members of ACCA and their members of Congress. Thank you!
