Air Conditioning Services in San Jose and the Bay Area

Your home’s air conditioning system extracts warm air from your indoor space, cools the air, and then re-circulates the cooler air back into your home. Central air conditioning is an entire system that accomplishes this task, usually to cool a large environment with multiple rooms. A central A/C system is made up of the following major components:

  • An outdoor condensing unit
  • A matching indoor air handler
  • Ductwork to transfer the cooled air throughout the home
  • Thermostat

Calvey Heating and Air specializes in central and split air conditioning installation, repair, and maintenance of all components of air conditioning systems in San Jose and the Bay Areas. When the temperature outside rises, we’ll ensure your interior remains comfortable for you and your family.

Central Air Conditioning Systems We Offer

The team at Calvey Heating and Air provides central air installation and split systems. Mini-split air conditioner systems are small air conditioning units that cool a room without requiring ductwork. They have outdoor compressors connected to one (or more) indoor units. Mini-splits are an excellent, cost-effective choice for smaller spaces.

A central air package includes ductwork and is the best choice for a large environment or multiple rooms. Whether your home has a preexisting network of ducts or needs ducts installed, our team can handle it hassle-free. Let us help you choose the right system for your residential or small commercial space so you can stay cool, no matter the temperature outdoors.

When to Consider Air Conditioning Replacement

The best time to replace your air conditioner isn’t always obvious, but here are some signs that you may need air conditioning replacement:

  • Poor or weak airflow coming from the unit
  • The air conditioner blows warm air instead of cool air 
  • “Short cycling” or frequently turning off and on without fully cooling the room
  • Strange odors or unusual sounds coming from the air conditioner
  • High energy bills during the hottest summer months
  • Water leaks or pools forming around the air conditioner
  • Humidity in your home when the AC is turned on
  • Frequent repair calls to the point that your repair bills exceed the investment of replacing the unit

Another consideration when replacing your air conditioner is its age. Freon is no longer used in ACs because of its harmful environmental effects. If your air conditioner is 10 years old or older, you may need to convert to using a different coolant agent or consider an AC replacement.

Importance of Regular AC Maintenance

An air conditioner is basically a refrigerator without an insulated box. A compressor compresses cool refrigerant, causing it to become hot, high-pressure gas. This hot gas runs through a set of coils (a condenser), dissipating its heat and condensing it into a cool liquid. The liquid then runs through an expansion valve, and in the process, it evaporates to become cold, low-pressure gas. This cold gas runs through a set of coils that allow the gas to absorb heat. A fan blows air over these coils, resulting in cold air. This air is pumped through your ductwork to cool down the air inside the home.

This process can cause wear and tear on the unit over time. Central air conditioners have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years. Regular AC maintenance helps your unit cool your home efficiently for longer. 

Book your AC maintenance call between January and May to prepare for the high temperatures common in the area between June and September
