Why does my fan run after I turn off my air conditioner/furnace?

Wrenn Heating and Air Conditioning - Frequently Asked Questi...
Modern air conditioning systems often use fan delay timers to keep the circulating fan running after the thermostat is satisfied. The reasoning is pretty simple: The evaporator coil is still cold, so it makes sense to get all the cooling you can for the money you're spending in energy. Furnaces have always run for a short time after the call for heating has ended.

The answer to this question often depends on the equipment you have, how well it was installed, and how well it has been maintained. Home builders often use lower grade “builder models” offered by otherwise well-known manufacturers (including Trane, Rheem/Ruud, and Lennox). Builders' models may not last much more than 8 to 12 years, whereas premium models from these companies will typically last much longer.

How long should my air conditioner/furnace last?

Wrenn Heating and Air Conditioning - Frequently Asked Questi...
Generally 12 - 15 years. Of course, this depends on several factors, among them how the system has been maintained, quality of construction, and environmental quality. Regular preventative maintenance has been proven to extend the useable life of your system, but many people only have their system maintained when it breaks down. Quality of construction is another factor. Some lower tier units just aren't built as well as other brands, and they don't tend to hold up well as they age.

Yes. Air conditioners require more air flow than furnaces and it may be necessary to add more ductwork. Also, local codes require that your ductwork be insulated in attics and crawl spaces, and your electrical service may need to be upgraded. McCullough Heating & Air Conditioning can design a central air conditioning system for you and provide you with a fixed price quote to install it.

Should I replace my furnace and air conditioner at the same time?

Wrenn Heating and Air Conditioning - Frequently Asked Questi...
Generally speaking, yes you should. If, however, you've recently replace one component, you may not need to replace everything. For example, if your furnace was installed within the last 5 - 7 years you probably will be okay just installing a new condenser and coil. Beware of companies who insist on replacing everything, or who claim that you'll void warranties on your condenser if you don't replace your furnace - that's a load of horse hooey.

How does an air conditioner work?

Frequently Asked Questions
Central air conditioning helps keep your home cool and reduces humidity levels. By transferring heat from air located inside your home to the outside, conditioned and cooled air is left to be re-circulated. Using electricity as its power source, the compressor inside an air conditioning unit pumps coolant, or refrigerant, back and forth to gather heat and moisture from indoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
air conditioner seems as if it cools your home's air, but it actually makes your home less warm by removing heat from the indoor air and transferring that heat to the outdoor air. Heat is extracted from the home by passing indoor air across a refrigerant coil in the indoor unit. Refrigerant lines then carry the heat to the outdoor unit, where it is released into the outside air. The cooling cycle continues until the indoor temperature reaches the thermostat
