Converting Evaporative Cooling to Refrigerated Air Conditioning

The popularity of air conditioning has bypassed swamp coolers in El Paso due to its ability to control indoor comfort regardless of the weather outside. Efficiency have increased dramatically, making air conditioning more affordable to operate, and air conditioners are more reliable and require less repairs.

Central Air conditioners do not require windows or doors to be open in order to operate, unlike the swamp cooler, which means a safer and more controlled indoor environment. Spring and fall,  for the in-between seasons when heat is needed in the morning, but cooling is needed in the afternoon, switching from heating to cooling is automatic with air conditioning. No more dampers to contend with, stained roofs or freezing water lines.

For these reasons, many customers are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air. If you are considering converting your El Paso home, it’s important to hire an expert who specializes in this type of work.


Things to consider...

Is your existing duct system adequate and will it provide the proper airflow essential for correct operation of air conditioning? Is the return duct adequate and sized properly?
Is your system sized correctly for your home?  An air conditioner sized to small or too large will operate inefficiently and won’t provide optimum comfort.
If your home requires a new duct system, will it be properly designed, fabricated and installed?
If using your existing furnace or a new one, is it sized properly not only for heating but cooling?
Is your existing electrical panel equipped to accept the new air conditioning circuit and power requirements?
This may seem like a lot of work, but not for us. We have performed thousands of conversions over the years, and consider this our specialty. We know what to look for and have perfected our installations to be cost effective and achieve desired results.

Signs your system needs an Air Conditioning repair and not a replacement

You’re moving soon—if you plan on moving soon, it may be a better decision to repair your system rather than replace. Sure, a new system can increase the value of your home, but you may not get everything you invest back.

Common reasons for A/C repairs
Here’s a list of our most common air conditioning problems:

Repair

Wiring issues
Wiring issues are one of the most common reasons for air conditioning unit repairs. This is especially dangerous in the El Paso heat and could be a fire hazard for homes. Improperly installed wiring may prevent the unit from receiving power and cooling your home.

Refrigerant
Refrigerant is an odorless, colorless chemical that can leak out of your unit. It may be difficult to detect without proper training. Although the chemical is nonflammable, leaks can still be dangerous. The most obvious sign of a refrigerant leak is often a harder working unit—you may notice your unit working harder to produce a normal amount of cold air. A rise in your energy bill is a common sign as well.

Fan
The outside fan works to remove hot air from the home and the unit. In the heat of summer an air conditioning unit without a properly working fan can overheat in a short amount of time, potentially causing internal damage to the unit’s compressor.

Inside coil
Inside each air conditioning unit is a coil. The coil contains Freon which cools the air pumped throughout your home. Units in need of repair may develop a frozen coil. This can be caused by many things, from an improper amount of Freon to a blocked air duct. Traditionally, A/C repair professionals view a frozen coil as an indication of another problem.


There are a variety of things that could cause your AC to not cool your home properly.

But for your convenience, we’ll categorize the problems into ones YOU can solve and ones only a professional air conditioning repair technician can solve.

AC problems that you can solve

Problem 1: Thermostat set to “ON” instead of “AUTO”
Does your AC blow out cool air sometimes and lukewarm air other times? Then the fan setting may be set to “ON” which just runs the fan 24/7—even when the air isn’t being cooled.

Solution: Set the thermostat to AUTO.

Problem 2: Dirty air filter
A dirty air filter reduces airflow into your AC, causing several problems:

AC struggles to circulate enough cool air to get your home to the desired temperature (e.g. your thermostat is set on 74 your temperature never drops below 80).
Evaporator coil (the part that cools the air) literally freezes, turning into a block of ice that blocks air, meaning that your home gets very little cooled air at all.

Solution: Check the air filter and change it if it looks dirty.

Problem 3: Dirty outside unit

Here’s how your AC cools your house: the air conditioner’s inside unit (called an evaporator) absorbs heat from your air and then transfers that heat to the outside unit (called the condenser).  But the condenser can’t dissipate heat if it’s dirty or crowded with debris. This causes your air conditioner to struggle to cool your home.

Solution: Spray the outside unit with a garden hose on a gentle setting. DON’T blast it on a high setting or you’ll bend the fins that allow airflow to cool the condenser off.  Also, remove any weeds growing around the AC unit. Give it some breathing room!

Here are just a few problems that a professional air conditioning contractor may need to fix:

Problem 1: A faulty or broken condenser fan motor
If the fan motor is bad, then the outdoor unit’s fan can’t help dissipate heat, meaning that the AC can’t cool your house.

Problem 2: Low refrigerant charge/refrigerant leak
Refrigerant is the liquid that absorbs the heat from your air. When you don’t have enough, your AC can’t absorb enough heat to cool the air. A low refrigerant level means one thing: you have a refrigerant leak.

Signs you have a refrigerant leak include:

Ice buildup on the refrigerant line and the outside unit
Bubbling or hissing noise
AC can’t cool home on especially hot days, but cools fine on cool days and at night
If you see these signs, turn off your AC and call a professional ASAP. Running the AC in this state can cause slugging in the compressor and damage it beyond repair.

Problem 3: A bad compressor
The compressor is the heart of the AC system, circulating refrigerant like blood between the inside and outside unit. If it’s damaged, then the AC can’t cool your air.

If there’s an issue with the compressor, then it may need replacing. Unfortunately the compressor is expensive. So unless you have a warranty on it, you’ll probably need to replace an entire outside unit.
