<p>Performing a rodent-proof ductwork procedure isn’t only for homes with critter infestation. </p>



<p>Even if you’ve NEVER had a single rodent damage or signs of mice your duct system, you can still shield it for prevention.</p>



<p>That is because ductwork is one of the first places rodents will sneak into once they access your home. </p>



<p>They love these tight spaces because they are good transit systems for their dirty deals while avoiding getting spotted.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Once they take refuge, they will start breeding, nibbling on anything they can find, including your air ducts and the insulating material covering it –compromising your HVAC system’s performance.</p>



<p>Well, I’m here to help!</p>



<p>I will show you how to read signs of rodent infestation (if any), eradicate the existing infestations, and do rodent-proof ductwork for the first time.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Understanding The Importance Of Rodent Proof Ductwork</h2>



<p>We have discussed rodents damaging the ducts, but that is not even the worst-case scenario.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is:</p>



<p>Rodents aren’t the most hygienic animals. They harbor harmful germs and spread diseases like hantavirus and Salmonella.&nbsp;</p>



<p>They are detrimental to your health and the entire household. Hence, if they enter your ductwork, they will contaminate it, deteriorating indoor air quality.&nbsp;</p>



<p>That is why having a critter-free HVAC is SO imperative.&nbsp;</p>



<p>You might sit here and argue your home doesn’t have mice or probably feel reluctant about the decision.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a shocking research that further proves my point:&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to <a href="https://www.pestworld.org/news-hub/pest-articles/fascinating-facts-you-never-knew-about-mice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pestworld</a>:&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>You are not the only one with a rodent infestation. About 21 million homes in the U.S. are invaded each winter. Mice also have BIG appetites, eating about 15 and 20 times daily. They also spread more germs than you can imagine, carrying over 200 human pathogens!</p>
<cite><a href="https://www.pestworld.org/news-hub/pest-articles/fascinating-facts-you-never-knew-about-mice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Pestworld</em></a></cite></blockquote>



<p>So not only your HVAC systems but your entire household isn’t safe.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Signs Of Rodent Infestation In Your Ductwork&nbsp;</h2>

<p>It isn’t always easy to tell if you have mice or rats in ducts. That is because you barely see them.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, there are tell-tale signs you may have rodents in your ductwork:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Hear Unusual Noises:</strong> You ALWAYS hear scratching, scurrying, or gnawing in the ductwork and attic, especially at night.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Catch A Whiff Of Foul or Putrid Odors:</strong> Rodents presence has this awful musky odor, which is a result of their droppings, <a href="https://handyhomemen.com/?p=176">urine</a>, or dead pests they use as food. And your air ducts will help circulate the conditioned air.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>You See Their Droppings:</strong> This clearly signifies a rodent infestation. Their small, dark droppings are like their logo, their identity.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Nesting Materials And Gnaw Marks:</strong> Rodents will tear and use your <a href="https://handyhomemen.com/?p=364">insulation</a>, fabric, papers, and other materials to build their nest. So, see if you can find shredded material in the ducts or near the vents. Also, check for gnaw marks.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Visible Rodents:</strong> At some point, the rodent will grow enough balls to come out more often in search of food. You might catch them red-handed entering or exiting vents or duct openings.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p>Aside from these, you might experience certain allergy symptoms or breathing issues. That is because rodents bring in a host of germs and spread disease. You may have contacted it.&nbsp;</p>



<p>And since rodents are fond of tampering with wires, blocking, or damaging ducts, your HVAC system might have been compromised.&nbsp;</p>



<p>&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Eradicating Existing Infestations: Steps To Rodent Proof Your Ductwork</h2>



<p>Once it is confirmed that mice might be in your duct, start responding immediately.&nbsp;</p>



<p>First is to arm yourself with these tools below:&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Things You Might Need While Rodent Proofing Ductwork</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Mice trap</li>



<li>Bait (bacon, cheese, peanut butter)</li>



<li>Flashlight</li>



<li>Rubber gloves</li>



<li>Plastic disposable bags</li>



<li>Antibacterial soap</li>



<li>Fine wire mesh</li>



<li>Vertical louvers</li>



<li>Air vent and flue covers</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Getting Rid of Rodents</h3>



<p>The first line of action is getting rid of any existing rodents. That is the ONLY way your ductwork could ever heal.&nbsp;</p>



<p>You can’t do it by chasing after them. Instead, you bait them.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Rodents might be tricky but they aren’t smart enough to resist food.&nbsp;</p>



<p>First, turn off your HVAC system. Let it cool completely. Take off the vent covers and load the mice traps with some baits –cheese or peanut butter.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Place the traps in each vent and check occasionally. If it is mice glue traps, check every morning, get rid of the stuck, and place it back in.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Ensure you’re putting on your gloves and wash your hands soon after.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Repeat this process until you are certain not a single rodent is left.&nbsp;</p>



<p>WARNING!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Never try to eliminate them using pesticides or rat poison, as they could die within the ductwork.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Locating them would be another mighty challenge. Moreover, the pesticide could circulate in your home through the ducts.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Clean the Ducts</h3>



<p>You don’t just rodent-proof the ductwork; you MUST disinfect it.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I prefer asking a professional for the dirty job since they have the tools and equipment to properly clean up any remnant and apply some biocides to kill germs.</p>



<p>I won’t recommend you take the DIY route. You will be forced to use a vacuum, which is a terrible idea.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The vacuum will move around the mouse dander, bacteria, mold, and other contaminants within the space instead of eliminating them. Plus, you will be inhaling all those particles.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Repair And Seal All Entry Points</h3>



<p>Now, it is time to prevent further incursion.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Use your flashlight to investigate all their entry point. They must have nibbled the air duct, wires, or insulation material. Get them patched up immediately using a foil tape or duct sealant.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Foil tape is more of a temporary solution. So I’d rather you go with the latter.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Apply the sealant to the holes or gaps using a putty knife or paintbrush. It will harden after it dries.</p>



<p>Do not hesitate to buzz the HVAC if the damage is severe or the entire ducting needs to be replaced.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Inspect any holes or cracks within the intake vents and exterior air vents. Go further to parch any around the doors, window frames, walls, pipes, fireplaces, and roof rafter.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Focus On Regular HVAC Maintenance</h3>



<p>A tight HVAC maintenance routine could also help shield your ductwork against rodent infestation.&nbsp;</p>



<p>YES, it can be tiring at times. But it is worth the sweat.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Keep the HVAC unit clean, trimming any vegetation that might lure rodents to cozy in or nest around your air conditioner. Dripping or standing water is another attraction for rodents and other critters.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Hence, no rainwater should form puddles.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Furthermore, scheduling for servicing could also help detect early infestation or any pest activity within the duct system and vents.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2>



<p>So that is how you protect your investment!&nbsp;</p>



<p>It can be a bit hectic, but if done properly, as discussed above, you will enjoy efficient heating and cooling by rodent-proofing your ductwork.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If using these strategies as a long-term prevention, you can skip the whole mice trap and bait thing.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Start by inspecting and sealing any possible entry point around the plumbing line, chimneys, vents, and whatnot.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>When I was an HVACR technician, one of the gigs I often got from my clients was that their air conditioner wouldn&#8217;t cool below 75 degrees.</em></p>



<p>Depending on the humidity level or outside temperature, most homeowners prefer to set their thermostats to lower temperatures (75°, for example).</p>



<p>Sometimes, it struggles to get lower than that.</p>



<p>If you have the same problem, you don&#8217;t necessarily have to give me a buzz (I&#8217;m retired), so I will just tell you how to fix it.</p>



<p>But this is what you MUST know:</p>



<p><strong>Whenever your air conditioner struggles to cool lower than that, 9 out of 10 times, it results from a dirty air filter, inadequate insulation, faulty thermostat, refrigerant leak, or clogged drain line.</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Air Conditioner Won&#8217;t Cool Below 75 Degrees: Troubleshooting Tips and Solutions</h2>



<p>Now you know why your air conditioner is struggling to reach lower temperatures, let&#8217;s discuss how we can fix it.</p>



<p>But before we proceed, I want to make this clear:</p>



<p>In the sweltering days, your air conditioner will struggle to cool your house down sooner than expected.</p>



<p>That is because it has to work harder to extract the heat from the inside air and expel it outdoors.</p>



<p>Air conditioners are programmed to cool by 20° below the outdoor temperature.</p>



<p>Therefore, if it is 95° outside, your AC will drop by 20 –that is 75° cooling.</p>



<p>However, in a furnace-like condition above 96°, the AC will maintain a cooling temperature above 75°.</p>



<p>But if this is not the case and it&#8217;s still not cooling.</p>



<p><em>Well, it is time to get our hands dirty!</em></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5 Reasons Why Your Air Conditioner Won&#8217;t Cool Below 75 Degrees</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="1000" height="668" src="https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/463865064f-2.jpg" alt="air conditioner won't cool below 75 " class="wp-image-466" srcset="https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/463865064f-2.jpg 1000w, https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/463865064f-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/463865064f-2-768x513.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. The Unit Is Improperly Sized</h4>



<p>One reason your air conditioner won&#8217;t cool below 75 degrees is when the unit is undersized.</p>



<p>Imagine using a window AC for a 1,000 SQFT. Of course, it will labor to attain your desired room temperature because it doesn&#8217;t have enough output power to cool the space efficiently.</p>



<p>And it doesn&#8217;t matter if it is set below 75°f because it won&#8217;t feel like it.</p>



<p>Oversize AC is another problem. Your air conditioner will turn on and off, not remove all the humidity, which could lead to mold growth, and you will have higher energy bills.</p>



<p>That is why it is SO crucial to determine the proper air conditioner size that fits your space before purchase. An HVAC professional can help you with that.</p>



<p>But if it is a window-mounted or portable home air conditioner, this table will help you figure that out:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Maximum Cooled Area</strong></td><td><strong>AC Capacity</strong></td></tr><tr><td>150 SQFT</td><td>5,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>250 SQFT</td><td>6,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>300 SQFT</td><td>7,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>350 SQFT</td><td>8,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>400 SQFT</td><td>9,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>450 SQFT</td><td>10,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>550 SQFT</td><td>12,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>700 SQFT</td><td>14,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>1,000 SQFT</td><td>18,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>1,200 SQFT</td><td>21,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>1,400 SQFT</td><td>23,000 BTU</td></tr><tr><td>1,500 SQFT</td><td>24,000 BTU</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. Insufficient Airflow</h4>



<p>For starters, a dirty or clogged air filter is the most likely culprit, as it can cause a significant decrease in cooling performance.</p>



<p>The airflow redundancy implies less air is passing over the evaporator coil, making heat absorbing less effective.</p>



<p>It could also lead to a frozen evaporator coil, which reduces cooling capacity since it cannot absorb heat.</p>



<p>Since the AC is less capable of removing heat from the inside, it may struggle to reach lower temperatures.</p>



<p>Before cleaning the air filter, you must determine the type.</p>



<p>Is it a fiberglass, pleated, reusable, or HEPA filter?</p>



<p>Disposable filthy filters should be removed from their slots and replaced rather than cleaned.</p>



<p>However, if the air filter is reusable, vacuum it using a soft brush to remove dust and debris.</p>



<p>You can also well it with water, but allow it to dry thoroughly before inserting it back.</p>



<p>All vents MUST be opened; no furniture or drapes should cover the registers. You also have to inspect your ductwork for any leaks or obstructions.</p>



<p>Sometimes, cracks or holes could let air escape, making it difficult for the air conditioner to push out the air.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. A Faulty Thermostat wiring Or Dead Batteries</h4>



<p>However, if your air filter is debris-free, you may want to use the thermostat.</p>



<p>The thermostat is such a vital piece of your HVAC system.</p>



<p>It must display the current temperature and use that information to control the system on and off.</p>



<p>However, the problem with a thermostat is either weak/ dead batteries or faulty wiring. Sometimes, the thermostat exposed to direct sunlight could misread the temperature.</p>



<p>You have to inspect for the batteries if your thermostat is battery-powered; if it is dead or weak, the voltage will drop –which may significantly impact the unit&#8217;s performance even though it still powers the thermostat.&nbsp;</p>



<p>You will have to change the batteries. If the ray of sunshine always finds a way to contact your thermostat, a set of drapes will have prevented that.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, contact an HVAC expert if you suspect faulty thermostat wiring (any loose, frayed, or disconnected wires) after removing its cover.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Clogged Drain Line</h4>



<p>Reduced Cooling Efficiency:</p>



<p>Water will back up and accumulate in the drain pan whenever this PVC pipe is clogged.</p>



<p>While this could reduce the heat exchange efficiency but consequently hamper the cooling capacity, the excess water pile on the rain pan is the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew, affecting the indoor air quality.</p>



<p>&nbsp;Even worse, the overflow can cause water damage to your floors, walls, or even ceilings –depending on where the unit is mounted.</p>



<p>But how do you address a clogged drain line:</p>



<p>First things first, is to ensure safety. Turn Off the System at the thermostat and the</p>



<p>&nbsp;circuit breaker.</p>



<p>Identify the Drain Line. The PVC pipe that runs from the indoor unit to the outside for most units.</p>



<p>Next is to check for Clogs. Visually inspect if there is any debris or buildup within the drain line.</p>



<p>If there is any, use a Wet or Dry Vacuum to suction out the clog, positioning the vacuum hose at the drain pan&#8217;s opening or at the end of the drain line.</p>



<p>The last is to flush with water.</p>



<p>Most homeowner uses algae tablets or drain pan treatment tablet to prevent future clogs caused by mold and algae in the drain line. You, too, can.</p>



<p>But if the problem persists, do not hesitate to schedule professional maintenance.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">5. Refrigerant Leak</h4>



<p>The Refrigerant is such an integral part of your air conditioning, as it is in charge of dissipating heat.</p>



<p>The system will start experiencing lower temps whenever there is a possible leak. This can eventually freeze your evaporator or condenser coils.</p>



<p>In many ways, refrigerant leaks also lead to high energy bills.</p>



<p>So check for any ice or frost buildup within the refrigerant line.</p>



<p>If there is any, shut the system down immediately.</p>



<p><em>But hey, you have to be careful with this!</em></p>



<p>Refrigerant leaks are detrimental not just to your health but to the environment.</p>



<p>They contain harmful chemicals that, when breathed in, can cripple you from the inside out. And because they are odorless, you are less likely to know when you have dosed yourself with them.</p>



<p>Hence, trying to fix the problem yourself is highly prohibited. Instead, get a licensed <a href="https://handyhomemen.com/?p=182">HVAC pro</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Do-It-Yourself Or Call A HVAC Professional, Which One Is Best</h2>



<p>There are boundaries to DIY projects. Forget about trying to save costs.</p>



<p>You CANNOT proceed with what you have limited knowledge of. It could be dangerous.</p>



<p>So, there is no shame in paying an HVAC contractor a penny to know the problem.</p>



<p>It saves you the risk of hurting yourself or further damaging the appliance.</p>



<p>Particularly for me, I won&#8217;t recommend trying anything more complex than changing the filter or swapping out the thermostat battery.</p>



<p>It is not outside your area of expertise. So respect that.</p>



<p>However, if you have a background knowledge about HVAC, maybe you just need a little help on what to look for –please, by all means –you are in for the taking.</p>



<p>Besides that, you need professional help.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2>



<p>Before we wrap this up, I also want to touch on the key to maintaining optimal cooling performance: maintenance.</p>



<p>You can schedule professional tune-ups once in a while and do your winter preparations properly, especially if you live by the sea, where it is extra salty.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This helps ensure long-term efficiency rather than untimely repairs.</p>

<p>Have you ever given it a second thought &#8216;Why is air conditioning so expensive?&#8217;</p>



<p>Well, I have.</p>



<p>I began to notice a pattern when I got my third AC unit. I discovered there has been a HUGE shift in price when comparing all three in terms of purchase, installation, and maintenance. &nbsp;</p>



<p>The installation charges are even more shocking!</p>



<p>But for some reason, the price ALWAYS seems to rise.</p>



<p>Today is this price; it will be that price in the next two months. </p>



<p>But why is that, though?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is Air Conditioning So Expensive? [2 Main Reasons]</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="1000" height="667" src="https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/f9f16eb1af.jpg" alt="why is air conditioning so expensive" class="wp-image-443" srcset="https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/f9f16eb1af.jpg 1000w, https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/f9f16eb1af-300x200.jpg 300w, https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/f9f16eb1af-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p><strong>Several factors are to blame, including the production cost, manufacturers meeting strict Federal regulations, and demand for better service —be it doorstep delivery, emergency repair services, or extended warranties.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>However, it depends on the type or size of your unit, the features it comes with, and the <em>installation complexity.</em></strong></p>



<p>Let&#8217;s break it all down into bit sizes:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>1. Production Cost</h2>



<p>Production cost is one of the major reasons why air conditioning is so expensive.</p>



<p>Putting a whole unit together doesn&#8217;t just happen in the twinkle of an eye.</p>



<p>Millions of dollars are spent on time-consuming research, testing the prototypes, and modifying the entire manufacturing process before allowing the change to be incorporated into the unit.</p>



<p>The manufacturer has to consider Research and Development, the material used in the construction, the energy efficiency standard met, and, of course, the labor cost.</p>



<p>Someone has to bear responsibility for all of these expenses, and it is the consumers&#8217; shoulders it often falls.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2.&nbsp;&nbsp; Demand For Better Service</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1000" height="667" src="https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/7ebd253cea.jpg" alt="why is air conditioning so expensive" class="wp-image-442" srcset="https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/7ebd253cea.jpg 1000w, https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/7ebd253cea-300x200.jpg 300w, https://handyhomemen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/7ebd253cea-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>There are numerous air conditioners with unique characteristics and price tags.</p>



<p>Hence, the type of air conditioner you choose, whether it is from a reputable brand, and its features will determine the price.</p>



<p>Let me explain even further:</p>



<p><strong>A. Features</strong></p>



<p>The more advanced technologies, energy-efficient features, and smart functionalities your air conditioner has, the more expensive it becomes.</p>



<p>I think this one is pretty understandable.</p>



<p>An HVAC unit with a smart thermostat, extra noise reduction, a notification system that notifies you when your filters need replacement, multiple fan-speed settings, an air purifier, and more will break the bank compared to an AC with fewer features.</p>



<p><strong>B. Type Of Air Conditioner And Installation Difficulties</strong></p>



<p>But all ACs are built the same; some edges over others with certain features, and all have their pros and cons.</p>



<p>Also, their installation charges differ. Some are more complex than others.</p>



<p>Below is a tabular representation of what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>AC Type</strong></td><td><strong>Advantages</strong></td><td><strong>Disadvantages</strong></td><td><strong>Installation Price</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Window Air Conditioners</strong> <strong>&nbsp;</strong></td><td>Cost-effective, easy to install, and low-maintenance It is compact and won&#8217;t take up much space. &nbsp;</td><td>It can be noisy and disruptive when operating. Visible on the outside</td><td>$150 to $500</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Portable Air Conditioners</strong> <strong>&nbsp;</strong></td><td>Easy setup and versatile to move around. The installation isn&#8217;t a permanent installation. This offers a flexible use. &nbsp;</td><td>It is not efficient enough to cool larger rooms. It must be placed near a window if it has a hose. And that will obstruct the view. &nbsp;</td><td>$250 to $500</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Central Air Conditioners</strong> <strong>&nbsp;</strong></td><td>Creates a regulated, cool environment throughout your home. Reduces humidity throughout your space. &nbsp;</td><td>Consumes a lot of energy on a day-to-day basis. It can destroy your outdoor curb appeal. &nbsp;</td><td>$3,000 to $7,400</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioners</strong> <strong>&nbsp;</strong></td><td>It can be installed virtually anywhere. Offers independent control over every room in your home. &nbsp;</td><td>A single zone is insufficient to cool an entire large home. Dents your interior aesthetic. &nbsp;</td><td>$3,200 and $10,500</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Geothermal Air Conditioners</strong> <strong>&nbsp;</strong></td><td>It is most energy-efficient and saves you money in the long run. Last longer, up to 20 to 25 years. &nbsp;</td><td>Installation can be challenging depending on the property. Has the most expensive setup and installation among the other AC options. &nbsp;</td><td>$18,000 to $30,000.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Hybrid/Dual Fuel Air Conditioners</strong> <strong>&nbsp;</strong></td><td>Saves energy over time. Reduces your carbon footprint on the planet. &nbsp;</td><td>Installation is expensive. Most suited for mild temperatures &nbsp;</td><td>$6,000 and $12,000</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>If you notice, some installations cost more than the air conditioner itself.</p>



<p>Such is life!</p>



<p>It is outside your expertise, and professional HVAC contractors with years of experience, good reputations, and labor warranties don&#8217;t come cheap.</p>



<p>But it is definitely worth it, as a proper installation equals the unit&#8217;s efficiency. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FAQs About Why Is Air Conditioning So Expensive</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Is Ac Worth The Cost?</h3>



<p>Of course, it is –especially in the scorching summer months.</p>



<p>But whenever the temperature drops, heating becomes the big energy hog. The consumption of heating energy skyrockets then cooling.</p>



<p>Regardless, AC is such a vital piece of appliance in the home. And there are enough benefits to justify why it comes at such a hefty price tag.</p>



<p>AC improves the quality of air in your home. You breathe fresher air free of allergens, which promotes productivity and healthier living.</p>



<p>It is a necessity and a luxury as well.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Which Is Cheaper To Run AC Or Heat?</h3>



<p>Heating will eat a chunk of the energy bill in the winter, as will air conditioning in the summer.</p>



<p>But it has a lot to do with the season or climate.</p>



<p>For instance, if you live in warm climates, you will spend more on air conditioning than your heating system.</p>



<p>The type of air conditioner also matters. A central AC consumes between 3,000 and 3,500 watts per hour. Portable units take up 2,900 and 4,100 watts, while window units only drag 900 and 1440 watts per hour.</p>



<p>But keeping your home toasty warm requires 4X the energy in the US than it is for cooling.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Are There Any Side Effects Of Using An AC To Much?</h3>



<p>Using an air conditioner is a double-edged sword. And when used excessively, it becomes a problem.</p>



<p>Here are some of the disadvantages of using too much AC:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>It uses a lot of electricity, resulting in high energy bills.</li>



<li>It causes skin dryness or itchiness</li>



<li>You easily get dehydration</li>



<li>Headaches</li>



<li>It results in respiratory complications.</li>



<li>Acclimatisation to Cold Air.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>What Are The Most Common AC Problems?</h3>



<p>As your air conditioner gets old, it will experience mechanical issues.</p>



<p>And one almost inescapable is &#8216;AC running but not cooling.&#8217;</p>



<p>Whenever this happens, it is often due to a clogged condenser coil.</p>



<p>If you want to know why that is or how to rectify this problem, go read this article&gt;&gt;&gt;air conditioner won&#8217;t cool below 75.</p>



<p>However, other common problems you could encounter are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>AC Not Turning On</li>



<li>Hot Air Blowing Out instead of cold</li>



<li>Refrigerant or Water Leaking</li>



<li>Unit Turning On and Off Repeatedly</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Conclusion</h2>



<p>So those are reasons why air conditioning is so expensive!</p>



<p>I don&#8217;t expect the price to drop, but rather keep going up.</p>



<p>But who can you blame?</p>



<p>The government? The manufacturers?</p>



<p>You can&#8217;t really fault anyone.</p>



<p>Quality doesn&#8217;t come cheap.</p>

<p><em>Let&#8217;s talk about the Janitor heater troubleshooting for a moment!</em></p>



<p>System malfunctions and problems are not fun.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Whether it is your car or the heating system, Janitrol heaters will definitely kick you out of your comfort zone.</p>



<p>It affected me BAD when my heater broke down at the most inconvenient time.</p>



<p>And even more frustrating is that Janitrol heaters come with high repair costs. So you better learn how to troubleshoot yourself because I did —though I had some help from an expert.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The point is:</p>



<p>You could save money and time by replicating what has worked for me instead of calling an HVAC Pro or technician.&nbsp;</p>



<p><em>So let&#8217;s get handy!&nbsp;</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 Janitrol Heater Troubleshooting Tips</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Inspect The Power Supply</h3>



<p>The first thing first is to ensure your Janitrol heater is getting power. The power cord should be firmly plugged into an electrical outlet before doing anything else.</p>



<p>Look for any apparent damage or loose connections on the cord. It is a sign that the power supply works properly if other electrical appliances nearby are functional.</p>



<p>This step is important because it rules out the possibility that the heater isn&#8217;t working correctly due to a simple power-related problem.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Check That Your Thermostat Is Set To Heat</h3>



<p>The thermostat is essential for managing how your Janitrol heater operates. Before troubleshooting, ensuring the thermostat is set to the &#8220;heat&#8221; mode is crucial.</p>



<p>Locate the thermostat first. Then ensure it is turned on and showing the temperature. Verify that the thermostat&#8217;s mode or function settings are set to &#8220;heat.&#8221;</p>



<p>Some thermostats have a separate switch or button to switch between the heating and cooling modes, while others may require you to go through a menu.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Replace The Filter</h3>



<p>Your Janitrol heater&#8217;s air filter ensures smooth airflow and shields the internal parts from dirt and debris.</p>



<p>Your heater&#8217;s efficiency can be decreased due to a dirty or clogged filter that, over time, prevents proper airflow.</p>



<p>Locate the filter within the heater and replace it. The precise location and replacement procedure are detailed in the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions.</p>



<p>Also, check for dirt and debris buildup. Carefully remove the old filter. Replace it if it seems dirty or clogged.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4.  The Gas &#8220;MUST&#8221; Be On</h3>



<p>If your Janitrol heater runs on gas, you should confirm it has enough supply. Moreover, the heater won&#8217;t be able to generate heat without gas.</p>



<p>Find the gas supply valve; it&#8217;s usually close to the heater or the gas meter. Verify where the valve handle or lever is located. The gas supply is cut off if it runs parallel to the gas pipe.</p>



<p>Hence, rotate the lever or handle to a perpendicular position to activate the gas.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Examine The Ventilation System</h3>



<p>Proper ventilation is essential for your Janitrol heater to operate safely and effectively.</p>



<p>The exhaust flue and air intake vents part of the ventilation system make it easier to exchange air and eliminate combustion byproducts.</p>



<p>Inspecting the ventilation system ensure there are no obstructions or blockages. Look for debris in the air intake vents and the exhaust flue, such as leaves, dirt, or other objects that may obstruct airflow.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&nbsp;Frequently Asked Questions</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is The Air In My Janitrol Heater Weak?</h3>



<p>If you notice weak airflow coming from your Janitrol heater, there could be a few reasons for this issue.</p>



<p>One common cause is a clogged or dirty air filter.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Over time, dust, debris, and dirt can accumulate in the filter, restricting the airflow and resulting in weak air output.</p>



<p>Another possibility is a malfunctioning blower motor or fan.</p>



<p>&nbsp;If the motor is not working correctly, it won&#8217;t be able to push the air with sufficient force, leading to weak airflow.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is My Janitrol Heater Making Unusual Noises?</h3>



<p>Identifying the underlying cause of any unusual noises coming from your Janitrol heater is critical. Several things could cause these noises.</p>



<p>One major cause is that a heater component, such as a fan blade, belt, or motor, has become loose or worn out due to repeated use.</p>



<p>Another potential cause of the rattling or banging sounds is a broken or malfunctioning heat exchanger.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Often Should I Clean The Air Filter In My Janitrol Heater?</h3>



<p>Cleaning schedules are influenced by the environment and usage, among other things.</p>



<p>Generally, cleaning or replacing the filter every one to three months is advised. However, specific situations call for more frequent cleaning.</p>



<p>For instance, more frequent cleaning might be required if you live in an area with high dust concentrations, pet dander, or pollutants or frequently use your heater in the winter.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is My Janitrol Heater Not Turning On?</h3>



<p>There could be several reasons why your Janitrol heater isn&#8217;t turning on.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s essential to check the heater&#8217;s power supply first. Check the heater&#8217;s associated circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure it receives electricity.</p>



<p>&nbsp;If the power supply is not the issue, your thermostat might be. So confirm that the thermostat is set to the appropriate temperature and operating mode.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2>



<p>Janitrol heater&#8217;s troubleshooting is an easy task that anyone can perform and doesn&#8217;t call for advanced knowledge —in most cases.</p>



<p>Anybody can successfully recognize and fix common problems with a basic understanding and a few essential tools.</p>



<p>However, the top priority during the troubleshooting process should always be safety; it is crucial to address it.</p>



<p>ALWAYS adhere to the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions and recommendations for a safe and efficient solution.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Before calling the HVAC Pro or technician, there are some HVAC troubleshooting you could do yourself to save a few bucks.</p>



<p>It might sound a bit out of your expertise. But you don’t have to give up your handyman tools just yet —at least not while I can help you with some professional tips. </p>



<p>And these are the EXACT same techniques most HVAC tech use before making significant repairs whenever they have a gig for air conditioning, heating, or ventilation systems to break down. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">7 Little But Effective HVAC Pro Troubleshooting Tips</h2>



<p>NOTE:&nbsp; This Air Conditioning maintenance ranges from simple to complex —simple enough for an inexperienced person to accomplish, while others require a skilled professional.</p>



<p>But if the HVAC system has passed its useful life, you must buzz the contractor.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Check The Air Filter</h3>



<p>Homeowners often contact HVAC technicians when their cooling or heating systems are malfunctioning.</p>



<p>But have you ever checked the air filter once?</p>



<p>Dirty or clogged air filters could lead to these irregularities, so we encourage homeowners to check and replace their filters if necessary.</p>



<p>Mind you, filters are changed every two months and 4-5-in.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, if the filter is spick and span, try the following troubleshooting tip.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Rogue Batteries</h3>



<p>Blocked vents can undoubtedly lead to problems ranging from inefficient air flow to irreparable damage.</p>



<p>But changing a wrecked battery might just be the answer. Sadly, this tip is often overlooked.</p>



<p>So when next you notice the thermostat isn&#8217;t lighting up, replace its batteries.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Check The Circuit Breakers</h3>



<p>Installing a new appliance might inadvertently turn off the power switch or breakers.</p>



<p>Thus, you should check to ensure the circuit breaker isn’t turned off by mistake. This issue could easily be solved by flipping it on.</p>



<p>Many homes have a breaker box in the garage, but some have theirs in other areas, such as hallways, basements, and storage rooms.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Check The Vents</h3>



<p>Vents, ducts, and grills are vital in any cooling or heating system. When troubleshooting HVAC problems, check these components for blockages—as they can cause irregular airflow.</p>



<p>WARNING! No plant or furniture sits next to the vent; it should be at least two feet away.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Troubleshoot For Power Outages</h3>



<p>Before you call an HVAC technician, check that the unit has power.</p>



<p>&nbsp;It can be challenging to determine this, especially during business hours for commercial properties—but when airflow is irregular, it&#8217;s often because of a lack of power.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">6. Check the outside unit</h3>



<p>Outside units are often overlooked during checks of HVAC systems, but they&#8217;re crucial to the efficiency and safety of a building&#8217;s airflow. Debris, such as leaves or branches, can block vents and suffocate an entire system if not removed regularly.</p>



<p>Once the power has been turned off, you can rinse their air conditioners using a hose with a spray nozzle to wash away excess debris, starting at the top and moving downward.</p>



<p>Also, endeavor to keep a 3-foot debris-free area around the fan to ensure proper airflow and prevent future problems.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">7. Summer Frost Problems</h3>



<p>If your air conditioning system is not working correctly during the summer, it may be because cold water in pipes has frozen from overuse.</p>



<p>&nbsp;Thawing the system might take two hours if this occurs, but it will resolve the problem.</p>



<p>To do this, turn the thermostat down but turn on the fan so your system thaws more efficiently.</p>



<p>Chances are high that it may cool after thawing out the system and restarting it but then freezing again. This pattern of freezing can continue for up to two days before things return to normal.</p>



<p>If this problem persists for more than a few days, it is advisable to contact an HVAC technician.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HVAC Pro Software And Downloads</h2>



<p>HVAC Pro is the best tool for planning and analyzing <strong>Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning</strong> systems.</p>
